Starting Hit Points?

Ahnirades · Aug 14, 2009

I'm looking over the book and I can't seem to find the hit point total for new characters. Does anyone know where it is?

It's on page 12 in the Common Terms section, under hit points. Not the most obvious place for it, if I may say so! Took my group a little while to find.

This was even noted in a review at Ain't it Cool News. I couldn't find it in my book so I gave up.

How much is it?

Anyone see a reference in the PRD?

I tried looking in the PRD and couldn't find it. I won't get home until late tonight. Anyone know? I'm curious as well.

Getting Started

"Hit Points (hp): Hit points are an abstraction signifying how robust and healthy a creature is at the current moment. To determine a creature's hit points, roll the dice indicated by its Hit Dice. A creature gains maximum hit points if its first Hit Die roll is for a character class level. Creatures whose first Hit Die comes from an NPC class or from his race roll their first Hit Die normally. Wounds subtract hit points, while healing (both natural and magical) restores hit points. Some abilities and spells grant temporary hit points that disappear after a specific duration. When a creature's hit points drop below 0, it becomes unconscious. When a creature's hit points reach a negative total equal to its Constitution score, it dies."

Of course, they would put that in the definition. Thanks Papa!
