Growth rates when reclassed

Promotion stat gains

InShadows of Valentia, promotion gains give the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class's base stats. If the character's stats are higher than their promoted class's base stats, they will not receive any bonus; however, if all stats are higher, then they will receive +1 to HP.

Personality

Randal has a somewhat laid back personality, wandering from town to town and battle to battle. At first glance, he seems uncaring and sloppy in appearance, yet he possesses much experience and tact—and is actually a reliable man with exceptional skills. Although he hates trouble and danger, he usually ends up in the middle of it.

Endings

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

After the war, Randal departed Valentia for a new land. History makes no further mention of him, but some say he made a name for himself as a sellsword, gracing countless battlefields and wielding a variety of weapons—always with one in each hand.

Cipher

Randal made a truly once-in-a-lifetime wager, only to go into hiding thereafter. Some rumors attest that he won, and that with that windfall he secured for himself a carefree life of quiet leisure in some southern land - others, that he met with a catastrophic loss, and was hence forced into labor in someplace.
