=Class Stats Comparison Table=

Normal 0-level humans start with 1 HP, 1 PP, 1 Strength, 1 Intellect, and 1 Reflexes. 

Transmogrified characters have an extra +5 HP, in addition to their 0-level human base stats.

==Strength, Intellect, and Reflexes==

At first level, each class gets 7 attribute points: +3 to their prime requisite and +2 to their two secondaries, to bring them to 4/3/3 (before modifications due to talisman).

At second and succeeding levels, each class gets 15 attribute points, distributed through weighted randomizing among Strength, Intellect, and Reflexes. The random weighs are summarized below:

{| border=1 cellpadding=3
! Class

! Intellect
! Reflexes

| Elemental

|-
| Psion

|}

What this means is that while an attribute with 25% chance will usually get 2-5 stats (average 3.75), an attribute with 33% chance will usually get 3-7 stats (average 5), and an attribute with 50% will usually get 5-10 stats (average 7.5), a distribution of 15/0/0 is also possible, for all classes and for any attribute, although this is highly unlikely.
