so I was just creating a character, and was surprised when I looked at the character sheet, and it said my Lvl 3 Hill Dwarf Cleric had just 1 HP. And yes, I use Rolled HP instead of fixed, and I don't have a PhD in Mathematics, but I'm pretty sure that even with Nat 1 on every roll and a +2 Con modifier, I should have a little bit more than 1 HP. Looking into the sheet, the problem was immediately obvious: D&D Beyond did the impossible - it rolled negative. Literally. And not just a little bit, but like -53. I can only guess how that is possible, but my best guess is, that it somehow combined the "Total Fixed Value HP (27)" and "Total Average HP (26)" and turned it into a negative number, for whatever reason. I'm going to try to replicate it, and let you know if I find more.
I didn't enter a number, because I kinda forgot while creating the character, and when I checked back after seeing I only had 1 HP, the "Rolled HP" section said -53. I did happen again with some other characters I created for testing purposes, but the minus number seems to be random. One of the only things that was consistent was negative "Rolled HP" after choosing Manual/Rolling HP at the beginning but never actually roll the HP.

Hej people,

Rolled HP is entirely manual. If you go to the Class tab of the editor and click Manage HP, what number do you have entered there?
