Hit Points
PCs receive 6 hp on their first hit die, and 4 hp on each subsequent hit die.
Weapons
Melee weapons wielded two-handed receive +1 to-hit.
Shields
Shields (not bucklers) receive an additional +2 AC bonus vs missile attacks from the front.
Spells Known
A Magic-User normally knows and has mastered a number of spells equal to their Level + INT modifier. One spell known may be swapped out on each level-up. Spellcasters gain spells from study of their Spell Book. Many Magic-Users are religious 'Wise Men' or 'Wise Women' such as Priests, Shamans et al. Thus, Magic-Users may potentially learn spells from the Cleric spell list (but not vice-versa). They may learn additional spells from Scrolls, destroying the Scroll in the process.
