Also, an album with the collection.
So I was skimming through the Race pages on the new site and I noticed something about Dwarf vs Skar
Dwarf says: Gain's extra hit points per point of stamina
Skar says: Increases Maximun health by 5%
Most games give 10 hp per point of stamina, so with some quick math:
100 Stamina = 10x100 = 1000hp
So since the Dwarf description just says 'gain's extra' but doesn't say how many extra let's just calculate where the end values would be exactly the same:
10hp/Stamina - Dwarf gains 0.5 more hp/stamina
Dwarf: 10.5x100 = 1050hp
Skar: (10x100)x1.05 = 1050hp
20hp/Stamina - Dwarf gains 1 more hp/stamina
Dwarf: 21x100 = 2100hp
Skar: (20x100)x1.05 = 2100hp
30hp/Stamina - Dwarf gains 1.5 more hp/stamina
Dwarf: 31.5x100 = 3150hp
Skar: (30x100)x1.05 = 3150hp
40hp/Stamina - Dwarf gains 2 more hp/stamina
Dwarf: 42x100 = 4200hp
Skar: (40x100)x1.05 = 4200hp
50hp/Stamina - Dwarf gains 2.5 more hp/stamina
Dwarf: 52.5x100 = 5250
Skar: (50x100)x1.05 = 5250
60hp/Stamina - Dwarf gains 3 more hp/stamina
Dwarf: 63x100 = 6300hp
Skar: (60x100)x1.05 = 6300hp
I'm sure you can see the pattern emerging. So of course any other values that do not fit the pattern will give one or the other Class a clear advantage of extra HP. I just thought that this was rather interesting. I am curious to see if VR keeps them balanced or if it gives one Class an advantage.

I absolutely love this breakdown bud.
The one thing that I noticed was that (like a vast majority of people - including the devs that chose these passives) is that there will always be stat (Stamina in this case) caps in a game... but VERY rarely are there ever HP caps. The reason I make this distinction is because typically in higher level content, gear starts to provide flat increases to things like haste, movement, resource, resource regen... and most importantly, for this topic, flat HP. The Dwarf passive gains no benefit from gear that would grant + HP, nor will their passive scale from buffs that grant +HP, whereas the Skar will absolutely scale out of control (as a positive multiplicative percentile - which can get out of control when you consider other class's multiplicative scaling HP buffs) if they don't change it like I know they will have to.
Once stat cap is reached, the Skar will continue to gain more and more HP as they improve their gear or get buffs. Of course that's endgame content, but that is when minmaxing stats will even matter - and unfortunately the part of the game that players will likely spend a majority of time in without being able to otherwise make significant improvements to things like increasing HP.
