VIT and HP?

[cidbahamut]

My friend claims to be gaining HP when putting on Jujitsu Sitabaki on his level 41 Monk and is convinced it's the VIT on it.

As far as I know VIT doesn't affect HP. Is my friend correct and wiki's just a pile of crap once again? I need to know so I can convince him to wear more appropriate pants, like a certain subligar...

Nay, as it is your friend that is hauling the load of bull. VIT has absolutely zero influence on your HP - your HP merely varies from job to job like any other stat.

VIT provides half a Defense point and has a nigh-negligible effect on healing magic cast on you. I think there might be one more thing where your VIT is checked against your opponent's STR, but that's really nearly everything there is to the stat (if you're a Dragoon, it affects Jump for some reason, and I think it's a secondary modifier to some Great Axe weaponskills, but that's about it).

Well, technically it does in that more VIT = more HP gained from Cures, but that's it. It has no bearing on HP total or growth.

Which is exactly what YM said.
