Each level you gain in this class grants you a Heart Container (or a "Hit Die"), which is a d6.  Heart Containers are used primarily during [[short rest]]s to recover {{hp}}.
+
:'''Heart Containers:''' 1d6 per researcher level
 
+
:'''Heart Points at 1st Level:''' 6 + {{con}} modifier
If your first class level is gained as a researcher, your maximum {{hp}} increases by 6 + your {{con}} modifier
+
:'''Heart Points at Higher Levels''': 1d6 (or 4) + {{con}} modifier per researcher level after 1st.  If your 1d6 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.
 
+
{{clear}}
Anytime you otherwise gain a level in this class, you roll d6 (or take the median of 4), then add your {{con}} modifier to that number.  Your maximimum {{hp}} increases by an amount equal to the result.  If you choose to roll the d6 and the die lands on a 1, you can re-roll until you get a result other than 1.
 
 
 
If your {{con}} modifier later increases, your maximum {{hp}} will retroactively increase.
