Well, in AD&D, you get a die rolled according to class.  Fighters are a
10-sider, so they get from 1 to 10 new HP, magic users 4-siders, thieves
6-siders, clerics get d8's, and monks get d4's.  This is modified by the
constitution of the character, adding new hit points per level- up to 4
per level if you're a fighter with an 18 constitution (sorry, only strength
gets to be exceptional and I don't know if there are any other stats in the
various rogue games- 3.6.1 doesn't have others...).
