About this converter
D and D 5e prints hit dice for every class from d6 to d12. Barbarian at d12 tops the table alone. Fighter, Paladin and Ranger tie at d10. Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Rogue and Warlock tie at d8. Sorcerer and Wizard tie at d6 at the bottom. That makes one Barbarian die equal double a Wizard die in sides. Every value here is the die size from the 2014 Handbook and the free SRD rules.
How to use it
Pick two classes and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first die, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total sides. Try 1 Barbarian against Wizard dice.
Hit dice heal during short rests and set starting hit points with Constitution, so rows pin die size and level one averages stay out. Multiclass totals mix dice and stay out of rows. Fixed reroll features shift real output off page, so rows pin printed dice only. Paladin and Ranger tie Fighter at d10, so three classes share the second tier behind Barbarian. Six classes tie at d8 in the middle.
