The Comprehensive "Formulas" for HP & MP (Spoilers?...)

Post by IJBall »

My final research into Book I is a topic that has come up several times before:
  • What are the formulas that go into starting HP (Hit Point) and/or MP (Mana Point) totals? And,
  • What goes into the gain in HPs and/or MPs on leveling-up?
Some previous discussion of these issues can be found:
Well, I researched this issue, using the highly useful (though slightly buggy) Goblin Hacker (a Book I character editor for Mac OS X), and I think I've figured out all the formulas that go into HP & MP.

So, without further ado, here are the formulas that go into starting HP & MP, and the HP & MP gain on level-up.


HP & MP Formulas, By Class:

ALL CLASSES:
------------

Starting HP = [2x(END) + 1x(STR)]

Starting MP = [2x(PER) + 1x(INT)]


FIGHTER & ROGUE:
----------------

Base HP Gain on Level-Up = 2
  • Bonus HP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 5 pts in END, from END=10
    Bonus HP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 10 pts in STR, from STR=10

    Example:
    END=25 & STR=20: HP Gain on Level-Up = 2 + 4 + 2 = +8
Base MP Gain on Level-Up = 0
  • Bonus MP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 5 pts in PER, from PER=10
    Bonus MP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 10 pts in INT, from INT=10

    Example:
    PER=20 & INT=20: MP Gain on Level-Up = 0 + 3 + 2 = +5

RANGER:
-------

Base HP Gain on Level-Up = 2
  • Bonus HP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 5 pts in END, from END=10
    Bonus HP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 10 pts in STR, from STR=10

    Example:
    END=25 & STR=20: HP Gain on Level-Up = 2 + 4 + 2 = +8
Base MP Gain on Level-Up = 0
  • Bonus MP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 5 pts in PER, from PER=10
    Bonus MP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 10 pts in WIS, from WIS=10

    Example:
    PER=20 & WIS=20: MP Gain on Level-Up = 0 + 3 + 2 = +5

MAGE:
-----

Base HP Gain on Level-Up = 0
  • Bonus HP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 5 pts in END, from END=10
    Bonus HP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 10 pts in STR, from STR=10

    Example:
    END=25 & STR=20: HP Gain on Level-Up = 0 + 4 + 2 = +6
Base MP Gain on Level-Up = 2
  • Bonus MP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 5 pts in PER, from PER=10
    Bonus MP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 10 pts in INT, from INT=10

    Example:
    PER=20 & INT=20: HP Gain on Level-Up = 2 + 3 + 2 = +7

HEALER:
-------

Base HP Gain on Level-Up = 0
  • Bonus HP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 5 pts in END, from END=10
    Bonus HP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 10 pts in STR, from STR=10

    Example:
    END=25 & STR=20: HP Gain on Level-Up = 0 + 4 + 2 = +6
Base MP Gain on Level-Up = 2
  • Bonus MP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 5 pts in PER, from PER=10
    Bonus MP Gain on Level-Up = +1 for every 10 pts in WIS, from WIS=10

    Example:
    PER=20 & WIS=20: MP Gain on Level-Up = 2 + 3 + 2 = +7
