How do I figure out the animal companian's HP?


Rules Discussion


I'm a sorceress and want a bear companion. How would I figure out the HP? Specifically what does it mean by saying "up to your level"


For the bear, it is 8 (ancestry) + 8xlevel (6+con=8). As with characters if you increase its con mod it will retroactively improve its hp like a player would.

So a level 3 character with a bear companion would have a bear with 24hp.

Thank you

I'd agree, except for the math part:

The total hp for a bear companion for a 3rd level character should be 32 hp: 8hp per level plus an additional 8hp

Do you know what page it says you retroactively increase you HP when you increase your Con with an ability boost? I have been looking and I can't find it.

You might

need to change other values because of skill increases,
ability boosts, or class features that either increase your
proficiency rank or increase other statistics at certain
levels. If an ability boost increases your character’s
Constitution modifier, recalculate their maximum Hit
Points using their new Constitution modifier
(typically
this adds 1 Hit Point per level). If an ability boost
increases your character’s Intelligence modifier, they
become trained in an additional skill and language.
