I have a fighter character and I was trying to find out how much difference it made for choosing ASI in the future (DEX then CON or CON then DEX) at level 6. I was surprised to see that according to the fixed HP calculations on the site, it came out to make no difference (both ways gave the same HP). Unless I calculate HP incorrectly as I increase ASI's, the site is giving to many HP and also not showing that there is any difference in HP totals no matter what order you choose them. Is this a problem with the site, or am I doing something wrong?

Con bonus is retroactively added to previous levels.
So, if a 14th level character gains +2 to their Constitution (and therefore a +1 CON ability bonus) they would gain an additional 14 hitpoints.

Ok, so that is RAW? I guess I've been doing it wrong. I had no idea. Thanks for the help.
Yes, that's RAW. It's easy to miss though!
