What doesn't make sense is that Kitsune has pretty much the highest of all stats (is there anyone with higher than 25 in any stat?), yet their % gain per prac is still lower than warrior or cleric. So I think class does affect learning. Again, you should really test out a couple high int rangers just to see.
It's kind of tough trying to figure out class gains when you don't post said class gains, you realize this, yes?
Also, while HP is stat dependent, there is definitely a class aspect, seeing as physical classes for some reason gain less HP than casting classes, despite having same stats (*coughrangervsclericcough*). The only advantage I can think of that physical classes have over casters is their weapon choice. Man swords (a physical class only weapon) come with huge AC (possibly to make up for the lack of a shield) and large HR and DR. And I've noticed that second, third attacks actually do connect and do decent damage. So that could increase the damage out put from physicals.
So what you need to do is record the avg damage out put from caster classes (spells and melee attacks alike) with physical classes and see which one does more damage per round. Also, I wonder if physical classes have any damage reduction inherent to the class itself... Hm...
