Hi guys!
I have the book GameMastery Guide and there are dozens of pre-generated NPC characters and as I was browsing through them I started to inspect their HP scores.
The system as I understood is:
your class HD per level + (Con Mod x the amount of levels in that class)
Military General (Fighter 11 lvl) has Con 14 and hp is 85 (11d10+25). Now, calculating with the formula of Con mod (+2) x 11 levels and you get +22, not +25. So there is a difference of 3 points.
The same goes with a 1st level Foot Soldier (human warrior, Con 11). He shouldn't with the formula in mind no +NN points to his total hp but according to the book he gets hp 8 (1d10+3). The same goes for 6th level Cavalry (there is a +3 added to the 6 additional points he gets with the Con mod).
However, a Caravan Guard (human fighter 2 lvl) with Con 14 gets hp 16 (2d10+5). Here the Con mod x levels should be 4 but instead is 5 points.
So my question (after this much rambling) is: is there a pattern for these additional points that are based on other things such as skills or feats that give a random amount of points to the hp (in addition to the Con mod x lvl)?
Thanks.

P.s. I can use the pre-generated NPCs of course but it would be nice to know where the additional points come from.

Perhaps it is a favored class bonus?

Remember the favored class bonus. It was sometimes put to HP but other times to Skill Points.
EDIT: Ninja'd by a rogue.

The Toughness feat? (It would account for the Foot Soldier's hp.)

Do NPCs gain favored class bonuses? Adding favored class bonuses isn't mentioned in the section on creating NPCs, but the favored class section says all characters gain a favored class bonus (unlike traits, which specifically call outs NPCs as not getting traits).

Thanks guys once again for the clarification. You guys are a well of knowledge!
P.s. It's been a tough job basically starting from scratch to learn a totally new game (noob when it comes to tabletop RPGs).
Don´t give up, you will get there eventually :D
