So apparently your starting class matters alot

[Rising Gale]

I've decided to run though the game as an astrologer and yes your start class does matter for builds. I started as samurai before and i wasn't able to hit 100 fp until my mind was like at least 20. I think there is a hidden scaling mechanic on what stats benefit you must based on what class you chose as a starter. So if you find yourself thirsty for fp for a spell/incantation I'd suggest trying a different class.

The latest patch gave an FP buff.

I did Astrologer (Default Mind 15), and I had only 84 FP, I think.
Now I have like 95.

There's no hidden mechanic at play here.

Not really, other than starting stats, the classes are the same how they level up.

i checked here that every class that hit mind 20 can get 100 fp though

Class only matters for the minimal stat distribution it does not affect anything else.

Last update buffed FP and Stamina you gain at low mind levels, to update you need to respec/level/use_Godric_rune/etc. Also there are gear pieces that can affect your FP, but not the class by itsef.

Every character hits 100fp at 16 mind:

Starting classes only matter for the purpose of endgame minmaxing.
There really is nothing else to it, except for some classes being more starter friendly than others.

MY starting Prisoner class had like a permanent HP down icon no matter what I equip or unequip; never went away. Maybe is something else I am missing.

If you hugged Fia, she temporarily steals 1 point of VIG's worth of health from you until you use the 'Baldachin's Blessing' item she gives you in return.

Did you hug Fia and had a baldachin's blessing in your inventory? If you hug her you get that item but it lowers your max HP. When you use it then you get the HP back.

That's most likely because you got a hug from Fia at Roundtable Hold. It's a 5% hp debuff that disappeares after you use the item you get in return for the hug, called Baldachins Blessing.
