In this dredmore wiki page, http://www.dredmorwiki.com/wiki/Stats, the formula of life points is ( Burliness + Caddishness + 5) Now, for example, in pure warrior build, and are both increased by 2 per level. So, according to formula, 2 + 2 + 5 = 9 increase of life points, will occur with every level up. But, the life point increase is only 4 instead of 9, why? from reference : pure warrior build stats, level 1
The formula + + 5 is the formula for your current max hit-points, not for the hit points gained per-level. A pure warrior starts with 14 and 14 and so has 14 + 14 + 5 = 33. When they gain a level, they gain 2 and 2 making the formula 16 + 16 + 5 = 37. So the gain is 4, not 9.
You are good! I didn't notice that. When I wander around, I see so many stuff that its hard to reconcile unless you know what you are looking for.
