CON drain and Hit Points

Ketjak

Malicious GM
Let's say that I'm a CON 10 wiz 2 who is elite (max HP at 1st level) and got lucky on second level's HP roll (4). I have 8 HP.

Let's then say that I got pinned by a vampire and drained 9 points of CON, leaving me with a CON of 1 for a -5 stat mod. Since I was dominated or charmed I didn't struggle, so there's no need to apply negative levels.

1. What are my current HP?

2. What is my HP maximum at level 2? (My guess is 2.)

PHB p9 :

You apply your Constitution modifier to each Hit Die (though a penalty can never drop a Hit Die roll below 1).

-----

Therefore, your hit dice are :

4 - 5 = -1 < 1 -> 1

... each.

Or 2.

Just as you suspected :)

Since you've taken no damage, your current hit points equal your maximum hit points.
