I was multiclassing a warlock 3 (celestial) sorcerer 3 (draconic) build with Fixed HP increases. I have the Syndicate Smuggler background that gives a plus 1 hp per level, dwarf granting a plus 1 hp per level, and taking the lessons of the first one granting tough feat (2 per level) with a 16 con. With this i am getting a 69 (nice) max HP, with the same build but swapping the starting classes i get 68. Is there something I am missing that makes the 2 different in HP calculations? Or is the math being calculated incorrectly?

ModeratorA character’s HP at level 1 is the max value of their hit die (+CON). Since Warlocks have a bigger hit die than Sorcerers, taking Warlock as your first class will indeed get you a higher max HP.
