KotS Pregens and Hit Points

[Draloric]

I understand that the pregenerated characters included with Keep on the Shadowfell have been found to be, well, buggy at times. Their hit point totals seem buggy too. The PHB lists a rogue's starting hit points as 12 + Constitution score, yet the KotS halfling rogue pregen starts with 23 hit points. In fact, near as I can tell, all of the pregens have inflated hit points. Why is this, do you suppose? It seems that characters made from scratch with the new PHB might be at a disadvantage when playing through this adventure as written, if the encounters are made with inflated characters in mind. On the other hand, the pregens might just have more staying power.

Constitution SCORE, not modifier.

Ah, yes. I guess I should've read more closely. Thanks for the heads-up.
