Overview
Massive information on attributes, class requirements, race creation, skill point breakdown and distribution and levelup mechanics. Information gathered from steam forums and personal party creation experience/testing.
Party Creation – Race information, including a roll of 32 possibilities
The following are assuming you get a max roll(32), These are ‘starting’ availabilities with a roll of 32, you can multiclass later.
Your roll will get used(if necessary) automatically to improve attributes to reach class minimum requirements. If you score less than 15extra points you do NOT get to assign the bonus points, this is not a bug.
Bonus points:
Give you a multiplier to your skill points on levelup
On creation it multiplies the unused portion of your roll
(ex, you roll a 32 as a aeorb sage, you subtract 5 needed for sage req, 27×2.0=54 which you can then appy to attributes, hp, etc)

Multi-classing information
To change a character’s class, he must be level 10+ in his current class and have the minimum stats for his new class. Additionally, allowed class changes are limited to three outgoing choices, according to his current class. (Specific allowed changes below.) Recruitable NPCs cannot multiclass.
Stats are reset to the minimum on class change. You keep your skills. You also keep your spells, as well as your unspent spell-scribing credits. I’m not sure what happens with level progression; it’s not reset to 0, but it also doesn’t appear to be kept the same as your old profession. It looks like the progression table for the new class is used, with some multiplier. (Around 1.25x the natural XP progression cost, as far as I can tell.)
Bonus attribute points are retained, so if you are motivated and insane (hello, Codex), you could conceivably grind up to the minimum stats for the new class and then hoard your points until the switch, then dump them all. Could make for a rough start, though.
Outgoing class changes allowed:
WARRIOR: Berserker, Pirate, Ranger
WIZARD: Necromancer, Sage, Thaumaturge
CLERIC: Bard, Sage, Templar
THAUMATURGE: Necromancer, Sage, Wizard
NECROMANCER: Sage, Wizard, Thaumaturge
RANGER: Warrior, Thief, Assassin
THIEF: Bard, Pirate, Assassin
TEMPLAR: Warrior, Cleric, Bard
BERSERKER: Warrior, Pirate, Ranger
JESTER: (why???) Thief, Bard, Assassin
BARD: Cleric, Jester, Sage
METALSMITH: Warrior, Berserker, Pirate
PIRATE: Thief, Berseker, Assassin
ASSASSIN: (why?) Warrior, Thief, Berserker
SAGE: Cleric, Wizard, Thaumaturge
A pirate requires the following minimum stats (the 40s are all human racial minimums so idk what the minimums are there):
int 40
wis 40
wil 55
str 50
con 40
spe 55
agi 60
fel 50
dev 40
met 40
des 10
Assassin:
int 65
wis 40
wil 40
str 50
con 40
spe 50
agi 50
fel 40
dev 50
met 40
des 10
JESTER! wow this guy has high requirements
int 70

wil 50

spe 65
agi 75
fel 75
dev 55
met 40
des 10
Observations:
(I’m not sure how much XP is in the game, but I’m assuming a max of one class change.)
Templars: If you want a templar, you have to either roll one as a durendil or multiclass in from cleric.
Assassins: Two of the four classes that can change to assassin are elite ones (Pirate and Assassin), so if you want one in your first 20 levels, you need a ranger or thief.
Pirates: This is the most accessible non-creatable class, with routes available from Warrior, Berserker, Thief, and Metalsmith.
Jesters: Only bards can become jesters. (Because you clearly needed another reason to bring bards . . . :roll:)
Metalsmith: No one can change into this class; it can only be a starting class. Since it and Sage are the only ones who get metallurgy, and Sages get very few skill points to invest in it, you probably need to create a metalsmith if you want metallurgy. (Thanks to Gestalt11 for pointing this out.)
Pure mages are mostly locked into staying pure mages; only clerics have exits. (Bards and templars.)
Martial classes generally have hybrid advanced classes available.
SPELL TABLES
All classes in Grimoire learn spells. There are 5 basic spell schools associated with a specific specialist who starts learning that school at level 1, as well as Arcanum/Eldritch spells (which I don’t know anything about yet). Each class begins learning from a specific list at a specific level.
Spell interactions with multiclassing: Spells available to learn on level-up are based ONLY on your current class. The list of spells available do not transfer between classes. E.g., if you are a level 10 cleric and multiclass into templar, you do not get spell picks for your first two templar levels, and when you start learning spells from the Cleric list at templar level 3, you only get the spells available that a level 3 templar (level 1 Cleric) would get.
Base caster classes:
WIZARD, CLERIC, NECROMANCER, SAGE, THAUMATURGE: Each learns his own school, starting at level 1.
Other classes:
WARRIOR: Wizard spells at level 9
RANGER: Thaumaturge spells at 4
THIEF: Thaumaturge spells at 6
TEMPLAR: Cleric spells at 3
BERSERKER: Thaumaturge spells at 10
JESTER: Sage and Wizard spells at 3
BARD: Cleric and Wizard spells at 3
METALSMITH: Sage spells at 6
PIRATE: Wizard and Thaumaturge spells at 6
ASSASSIN: Thaumaturge and Necromancer spells at 3

All classes gain +1-6 bonus(you assign) attributes
All classes gain +1-3 of THREE different attributes
All classes gain 9-39 skill points(you assign, divided among 3 categories)
as well as the following
Hp and mana gains are *estimates*
Metalsmith
+5-15 Hp
+8-16 Mana
Creating a character – hp / mana and misc information
Hp and mana minimum and maximums when making a new character are class-based
However most classes can get at least 8 hp and 10+ mana
Mana, Hp and Vitality regen
Hp regen is 10% of max hp per tick
Vitality regen is Con based and race based
Very fast though, almost uncessary difference
Mana regen is mostly race based(possibly attribute as well for rate/amount)
Mana tick rate
Very fast : Dwarf, Wolfin

Race information
Males & Females have slightly varied starting attributes.

Multiplier affects skill points on levelup AND extra points on creation(subtract points req for class pick then multiply the remainder).
Keep in mind skill points are also influenced by class; this is in addition to that.
