Calculating health points?

[RunR31]

I was wondering if anyone knew how health points were calculated. I am an elf with Const bonus of 17 and Physical Fitness...................| 70 15.. I have 104 health the formula I was using was only calculating 102.9

I was always under the impression you received starting health based on an equation of your stats with a certain gain of health per rank of PF... ie: as a giant I always got 7 per rank. With the max capped depending on race + CO bonus. But maybe im smoking crack. I've never heard anything about getting different health points per rank of PF.

No, the amount of health points you get per training is determined by your con bonus at 0 trainings. If you are just aiming for maximum health and then stopping training you can actually save TPs by putting your con stat higher.

Giantman 200 7
Half-elf 135 5
Dark-elf 120 5
Sylvan 130 5
Elf 130 5
Dwarf 140 6
Halfling 100 4
Aelotoi 120 5
B. Gnome 90 4
F. Gnome 100 4
Half Krolvin 165 6
Erithian 120 5

tada

Sure looks like it should be 6 per train though. Oh well.

edit: And WTF, my halfling definitely gets 5 per train. Weird. Maybe they all got bumped up one for IV.

Was confused about a reply. If you const isnt at 100 at level 0 you can never reach max HP or did you mean it would take less training to reach max HP

You'll have a lower starting HP, and effectively a lower max, but that will go up with the stat.
