I lost my save data recently due to some computer trouble and I'm starting fresh, only this time I'm going to actually understand how the game works so I can set up my character properly.
As I understand it, your stat gains on level are determined by your preferred stats. Your class, race and background all give +1 to 3 attributes. When you level up, you can boost 3 stats. You can only boost stats that you have as preferred and a stat will go up by how many preferred points you have in it, to a max of 2 (so even if your race, class and background have the same attribute, it'll still only go up by 2).
Obviously, you can't change your background. But you CAN change your race and class. Does changing your race or class influence your preferred stats, and thus change your level gains? If so, does that work retroactively or and I mix it up as I level to get weird stat totals? Am I misunderstanding anything?
