Stat growth usage

[Mrfuzzy]

Sorry if I'm in the wrong section to be posting this question.

I'm trying to figure out how to set up the stat growth on ramza if I want him to be stronger than usual, do I lower the stat multiplier and growth points ? I'm not specifying on hp but all the stats.

You have a few options for figuring out how stat growths work.

There's lvlsim, a program that calculates stat growth on level up. I think it's an old VB6 program. Windows only.

RavenOfRazgriz has a spreadsheet that does that and much more. Probably requires Excel.

The old FFT Battle Mechanics Guide (BMG) has a section on stat gains. Ctrl + f "how stats work in fft" to find it in the link below.

I'm sure there's more precise, accurate, and up to date information but this is basically how it works.

When you level up, you get an amount added to your "raw stats" based (probably roughly) on this formula.
added amount = [current raw stat value / (growth + level)]

So the lower the growth, the more raw stats you gain on each level, and the higher your stats will be.

Stat multipliers are just percentage multipliers to your raw stats, from I think 1% to 256%. It probably can't be 0%, but there's probably a check to set it at the appropriate minimum (in vanilla this is 1) for each stat. They don't affect stat gains on level up, but they're obviously very useful.

I would look at the wiki and add more exact details but I'm having trouble typing because I have a just learned I have bone spur in my right shoulder. My right arm is weak and slightly numb from pressure on a nerve and connective tissue due to excessive bench pressing, which unfortunately I can no longer do as per my doctor. For that I apologize.
