When I use the character builder to make a level one rouge it is giving him 22 starting hit point at the first lvl. When I look at the discription it says they have 12 health plus the constitution modifer. Why is the bulder giving him so much health?

Your starting hit points total is x (x being amount stated in class) + your Constitution SCORE. That means you have a Con score of 10. It is your Healing Surge total that is dependent on your Constitution modifier.

Want to make a quick guess as to how many people have made this exact same mistake?

Still higher.

I made the same mistake - and my DM had to point out the correct amount - in my defense - this is unexpected - you use your stat mod for everything else - adding raw stat - is still surprising. adding 10 + con mod times two = would of been more in keeping with rest of rules - yields same number

Yeah, the disjunction between Score and Modifier is one of the legacy flaws features carried (though changed) from edition to edition.

No, no it doesn't. Not even close.
Your system: Con 10 gives 10 HP. 4e system: Con 10 gives 20.
Your system: Con 18 gives 18 HP. 4e system: Con 18 gives 28
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.
