This was the case in all the Wizardry games as well. The number of hit points is random. From 1 to whatever the max is for your fortitude and class. Stat points always seem to be 1 to 3. While skill points are based on your intelligence. 1-7INT = 1 skill pt. 8-11INT = 2 skill pts. 12-15INT = 3 skill pts. and 16-18INT = 4 skill pts. I'm guessing that 20INT will yield 5 skill points, but haven't got my stats that high to test that yet.
If you're not satisfied with the levels you're getting, here's a way to get around it. Simply save your game right before you're ready to hit that "level up" button. If you don't like the level, exit without saving, and reload. It may take a several tries, but once you see that "You gained 20 hit points" pop up on the screen, it'll be worth it.
NOTE: If your character has changed roles, you will only gain 1 hit point per level until the level of your new role is higher than that of your old one.
