I don't know if anyone else has had this issue but my hp for my wizard has been adding up wrong. Instead of +4 from my constitution it's adding +12 & I'm not sure why. So I have to override my hp everytime. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my class & I couldn't find another forum discussing this problem, so if there are any ideas on why this is happening I'd appreciate it.
I am sorry to learn you are experiencing an issue with your character sheet and the constitution bonus to health.
So that we or a mod can take a look and hopefully assist you can you please provide a link to your character sheet?

Sorry, I didn't respond sooner I forgot to check the forum. I'm a level 4 wizard w/ the school of abjuration. Did you guys need a link of my character sheet or the edit section where my HP is?

(Edit: I removed the link because the issue was just an error on my part because I didn't understand on how wizard hp works. Thanks for the help everyone!)
If by Edit Section you mean when you click on the Edit HP button in the builder when levelling up the "Constitution" bit will show +12 if your Con modifier is +3 (because you get +3 per level, 4th level, 4 x 3 is 12).
The Edit HP bit puts the "dice" and "Con" separate and total up for level. If you are using Fixed HP then it will show 16 in the dice box and +12 for the con box and you health should total 28. If you are using Rolled HP then you need to add in the dice box the total of all the rolls (let's say you rolled 3 for 2nd level, 5 for 3rd level and 2 for 4th level, this is 3 + 5 + 2 which is 10 and then the 6 for 1st level because you max it for 1st, that is 16 in the dice box, +12 con (+3 x 4) again making 28 total hp).
In other words the Edit HP box in the builder works with values representing "totals" not "what you add this level". If you con mod is +3 then the +12 it shows is correct.

The +12 is correct. You have 18 in Constitution, so a +4 as CON modifier. You are currently at 3rd level (3 Hit Dice), so the bonus to HP due to Constitution is 4*3=12.

What level is your wizard? Can you provide a link to you wizard so the mods can check it?

Alright, that makes sense. I didn't realize that my con + would go per level. I've never played one before so I'm still learning. Thanks!
