Re: "Backwards-compatible" Vitality

Vitality and Willpower as implemented in LoG is flawed. Instead of being a level-up modifier (+(VIT/2 -10) * 1HP on level up) Vitality should give a health bonus based on a level multiplier ((VIT/2-10) *LEVEL)+((VIT-10) *2.5)) rounded down. As it is now you can give items with bonuses to vitality a...
