I'm probably looking in the wrong place. |

Can't, actually.
In fact, I played 2e for five years and never actually owned a PHB myself. Mostly, I was the DM, so i didn't really need it.

Concur with IDj. I just checked my 2e PHB and it explicitly states that you retroactively gain HP when your Con goes up. |

So a 1st level wizard with a con of 10 and 16 hit points gets 4 extra hit points if his con suddently becomes 14, just like a 14th level swordmage with 18 con and 116 hit points gains 2 extra hit points if her con increases to 20.
Doh, yea I totally forgot about that. |

As Xysma said, you gain them retroactively as in 1 hp per level of an ability modifier increase. Meaning a +1 mod bonus at 15th level would net you an extra 15 hp.
4E's hit points don't rely on Con, they are static bonuses gained per level. (well they do, but just at first level and it's done by your CON score, not modifier). |

Yes, you do get retroactive hitpoints if your Con goes up, just as you lose them from your total if it goes down. I am speaking of 3e rules here, I can't remember 2nd, and don't know 4th. |
