Class and Racial Level-Up Gains
The advance_level function calculates how much a character gains when leveling. These gains may depend on class and the character’s current stats. Races provide no direct bonuses, but their stat caps can influence the values used in the formulas.
Hit Points
Formula: con_app[CON].hitp + number_range(class_table[class].hp_min, class_table[class].hp_max)
Constitution contributes a fixed bonus from con_app. A class-specific random range is added to determine final HP gain.
Mana
Formula: number_range(2, (2 * INT + WIS) / 5)
If the class is flagged with fMana = false, the mana gain is halved. Wisdom and intelligence drive this gain.
Movement
Formula: number_range(1, (CON + DEX) / 6)
Movement gain is influenced by constitution and dexterity, scaled by one-sixth.
Practice Points
Formula: wis_app[WIS].practice
Practice points come directly from the wisdom application table.
Summary of Class and Race Influence
| Gain | Class Influence | Race Influence |
|---|---|---|
| Hit Points | Random range from hp_min-hp_max in class_table |
None |
| Mana | Halved if fMana = false |
None |
| Movement | None | None |
| Practice Points | None | None |
Races do not directly modify the gains above. However, they define maximum stats through pc_race_table, which can indirectly impact the gains by limiting the values returned from get_curr_stat().
