Gain per level
Class | HP | PP | To-hit | Dodge |
---|---|---|---|---|
Naturalist | 12 | 8 | 11 | 9 |
Gadgeteer | 11 | 9 | 10 | 10 |

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).
Class | Strength | Intellect | Reflexes |
---|---|---|---|
Naturalist | +3 | +2 | +2 |
Gadgeteer | +2 | +2 | +3 |
Elemental | +2 | +3 | +2 |
Psion | +2 | +3 | +2 |
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:
Class | Strength | Intellect | Reflexes |
---|---|---|---|
Naturalist | 50% | 25% | 25% |
Gadgeteer | 25% | 25% | 50% |
Elemental | 33% | 33% | 33% |
Psion | 25% | 50% | 25% |
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.
