To determine a character’s starting Hit Points, simply add his Constitution Stat Value (not his stat bonus) and his Strength Stat Value to 20, along with any special modifiers from his Character Class or from Talents.
Starting Hit Points = 20 + Str Stat + Con Stat + Special
Characters may have a maximum number of Hit Points equal to their Racial Max Base plus their Constitution and Strength Stat Values.
Max Hit Points = Racial Max Base + Str Stat + Con Stat
Example: Raglin Stonedrake the Human Fighter has a Strength Stat Value of 17 and a Constitution Stat Value of 16. The maximum number of Hit Points that he can have is 113 (80 + 17 + 16). Raglin will start off with 64 Hit Points. He gets the base of 20, plus his Strength and Constitution Stat Values (17 and 16 respectively), and finally he gets 10 Hit Points from the Combat Training II Talent that all Fighters have.
To increase his Hit Points, a character must purchase one of the Physical Training Talents (Minor or Major). Each talent will add a static amount to the character’s Hit Points. However, these Talents can never increase the character’s total Hit Points beyond the maximum number that he is allowed based upon his race and his stats.
