Bug?

Eschalon wiki says you get 1HP/10 STR and 1HP/5 END

I have 14 Endurance and 14 Strength (which should be 3HP/lvl up), and I'm only getting 2 HP per lvl up

It may be that the game takes the total of your scores and divides it by the total of the dividing numbers, so you would be getting 28/15 = 2(rounded to nearest).

It's how a few other things work, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Okay thanks another really weird thing happened too

I did some quests and got 2 lvl ups in like 5 mins so I used them both at once, I put all the 6 attribute points to Endurance and got 9 HP lvls (4.5 per level with 20 END and 14 STR)?

edit:wait it can't be 14+14/15 because at 15 endurance and 14 strength I will get 3HP/level up

The first issue has me stumped. There's no way I can make that maths work.

As far as 14+15/15 goes, that's still 2hp/level. If you mean that you actually tried putting one more into endurance and got 3hp/level, I'm completely unsure. Got no clue.

The program uses Integers for these calculations. It doesn't add up fractions. So your Strength anywhere between 10 and 19 will give you 1 HP per level-up and your End anywhere between 10 and 14 will give you 2 so you should have been getting 3 per level to start. Not sure why you weren't unless there's a minimum I'm missing. As for the double level-up giving you 9, that sounds like it calculate that the XP from the first level-up made your End 17 (for +3 HP) and the second at 20 (for +4) giving you 4 HP for the first level and 5 HP for the second. I didn't think that was the way the level-up worked, though. My recollection was that if you dump it all in at once, you should get the increased value times the number of levels.

Any of the real Stat-heads out there have a better explanation for what's going on?

Sure - this will help (it's for Book I, but I think it mostly applies the same to Book II unless you do weird things like level-up two levels at once...)

The original poster needs to get to END=15 and STR=14 to get +3 HP per turn for a Mage.

And END=20 with STR=14 should get you +4 HP per turn (for a Mage), so I'm not sure how +4.5 HP for the two turns was generated. (But when I did two level-ups at once, I once got +25 HP (+12.5 HP per level), so with multiple level-ups, weird things do seem to happen...)

Thanks for the answers I used to get 3HP/lvl in version 1.01 so I guess it was changed so STR gives you 1HP per 20 lvls as a mage in v1.04, that would make sense to me
