How many Hits do you start with? I can't find anything but the image below, which I don't understand AT ALL.
Does it mean (for example) if I have a point in PRPHT I have 2 Hits but if I have a point in FRGMNT I have 5 Hits? If I have points in multiple things, do I just use the highest one? What about if (for example) I start with DLVR 2 but get FRGMNT 1 later? Do I jump to 5 Hits in addition to the 1 Hit every 3 LVLs? Or am I completely misunderstanding what's supposed to be communicated here?
I typically go with whatever is highest (unless you want things to be more difficult/fragile, and then go with the lowest value you have a level in).
But yes, you'd be correct! Taking a level in a different class can be a nice bump to hits if you want it (though again, this is also a lever you can adjust in your own games to vary difficulty, which I should have explained more fully in the text, just slipped through the cracks). Probably something I'd address more fully if there's ever a revised edition or something.
