Two things to do about the lousy level-ups:

1) Get the Roster Editor, and give your characters as many HP as your little heart desires.

2) Change Class Often!!! This is very important. Consider the following: 120,000 EP will get you about 10 levels in any class you enter. That's 10 HP and 10 skill points, guaranteed. OTOH, that 120,000 will get you one lousy level-up, 1 HP and 4 or 5 SP, depending upon your Intellect, after level 10 or thereabouts -- and it gets worse as your levels get higher.

I'd suggest never letting a character go beyond 10th level in any class until you make them all assassins after you off Raskelion. By that time, there won't be many skills left to learn, anyway.

Okay, I hear somebody complaining that if you follow this suggestion, you'll never get points to raise your attributes. True. That's what gold and the guilds are for... and if you change class all the time, you'll have all your attributes up to 20 before you leave Ishad N'Ha. Well, except for Will and Fortitude, which can't be raised in the guilds...

Naturally, in order for this to work, you'll need to visit the dojo a lot and buy and sell the takakatsu arrows. A real "infinite gold" trick.
