Hello All!
I had a quick question about how the rules interpret your Constitution HP mod when your Constitution mod changes. Does your Constitution HP mod change the amount of HP you get per level if your mod changes for any reason?
For example:
Level 3 Bard (Favored Class)
Str 6 (-2), Dex 14 (+2), Con 9 (-1), Int 12 (+1), Wis 11 (0), Cha 16 (+3)
Level 1 HP: 8 (Full HD) + (-1) (Const Mod) + 1 (Favored Class Bonus) = 8
Level 2 HP: 8 (Level 1 HP) + 1d8 Roll (5 Average) + (-1) (Const Mod) + 1 (Favored Class Bonus) = 13
Level 3 HP: 13 (Level 2 HP) + 1d8 Roll (5 Average) + (-1) (Const Mod) + 1 (Favored Class Bonus) = 18
When the Bard above hits 4th level and he/she chooses to take their ability score increase in Constitution (changing the modifier from -1 to 0), are the previous level Constitution mods affected or is it only future mods? The former would mean that a pretty substantial HP increase occurs at 4th level but the latter seems to make more sense to me.
Just an FYI, the reason I am asking is because I am using Hero Lab to add a character and it applies the new mod to all levels and not just the new ones and I wanted to know if this was the way the rules are interpreted or if it is a calculation issue on Hero Lab's part.
Thanks!
