Rage HP increase VS HD


Rules Questions

Sczarni

The rule about rage HP increase seems pretty clear,
"...The increase to Constitution grants the
barbarian 2 hit points per Hit Dice...", but i just want to make sure they are really talking about total Hit dice and not only "barbarian" hit dice.

Let say my level 1 troll barbarian (7HD total = (6d8+36)troll+ (1D12)barb) rages is HP will go up by +14 and not only +2 right?

If they were talking about "barbarian" hit dice it would mention class level probably.

Regardless Con bumps always are "global," they take into account all hit dice no matter where the dice are from.

The rage thing is just reiterating a common rule for the sake of simplicity of reading. No need to read too much into it.


The description is simply explaining one of the side effects of a Constitution increase -- a hit point increase. You get +1 HP per HD for each point of your Con mod. This is always true and has nothing to do with being a barbarian.
So, yes, it's +2 HP per hit die from any source.
