[RPG] Does a multiclass character get to pick which hit dice they recover after a long rest

dnd-5ehealinghit-dicemulti-classingrests

This question came up in our last game.

In 5e, after a long rest you get to recover half your spent hit dice. My assumption would be is that if you are multiclass you get to pick the hit dice you want to recover.

In theory you get to pick the hit dice you want to recover even if you are not multiclass – it just doesn't matter.

Any reason to think this is not the case?

What order do multiclass characters spend Hit Dice at the end of a short rest?

Best Answer

There is no method specified. The PHB indicates you should track them separately in Multiclassing, under "Hit Points and Hit Dice" (p163). It has no detail on an order you must spend them, nor the order in which you recover them.
