User talk:WinterRose/Racial Gains

The eternal HOGathon of January 2012 seemed like a nice time to do this project. I took the 20 creatables, plus what remorted heroes or lords I had that could be descended or rebirthed into mages, and ran them all to lvl 50. The results are in there, but keep in mind that except for half-orcs, elves, drow, and humans which were ran 2 times (due to suspicious results), all the others were ran only once.

Sample size of 1 is not enough for anything, but deviation can be observed: due/dwf hp are for example 516/499, and drw/elf mana is 398/408, so we can assume all these numbers are accurate to the average within 10 points, be it HP or Mana. Of course 10 points on a total of 200 or 300 gains is quite a lot, but the whole experiment is just a guideline, and never intended to represent some very accurate data.

If you have some further insight, please add it in, though I do not expect anyone has atheist 999 mag data...

Enjoy!

I rerun the orc 2 more times so the total three runs gave: 556/343, 573/305 and 564/329.

It's interesting that the mana can vary so greatly, but anyway the mystery of half-org gains is solved - Hor get -20% and Orc get -25% compared to human.
