[QUOTE="Viktyr Gehrig, post: 5768516, member: 9249"] At 1st level, you get your maximum HD value plus your Con bonus. At 2nd and subsequent levels, you gain your hit die roll plus your Con bonus. And yes, you do get an extra HD at each level. That's a +1 bonus to one ability score of your choice. Character level and HD are pretty much the same thing, but a lot of times when an ability grows with level it's referring to your [b]class[/b] level-- the number of levels you have taken in the class that grants you the ability. For every five points of BAB after +1 (so +6, +11, and +16) you get an extra attack per round at a cumulative -5 penalty. What those numbers are telling you is that if you're a single-class character of that level, those are the extra attacks you would have. If you're not single-class, calculate your BAB by adding the [b]first[/b] number in the BAB column for all of your class levels; you gain an extra attack at +6, +11, and +16. [/QUOTE]
