Heya. I was changing my life rating constantly with the "shuffle" spell of the trump realm and I noticed it is wildly random. F.e at times my hp would be greater with 92/100 life rating (272hp) than 102/100 life rating (240~) . I am confused. Also,will I gain more benefit if I level up with a 120/100 liferating to level 50 or will i get the same result if I change to that life rating later?

The life rating should just be a measure of how good your on-levelup HP gains are as compared to the average. So e.g. a 120/100 rating means your level-based HP gains are 20% higher than average. Note that this is specifically the HP gains due to your hit die (which is determined by your race and class), not HP gains due to CON. Changing your life rating rerolls all of your previous gains, so there's no benefit to trying to optimize it early aside from having the extra HP earlier.
I don't know why you're seeing more HP with lower ratings though. Maybe one of the million extra systems that PosChengband introduced has something to do with it?

You also reroll stat maxes when you newlife. Sometimes this can give you more of a base boost to con which ends up giving you more HP despite the life rating nerf.Glaurung, Father of the Dragons says, 'You cannot avoid the ballyhack.'Comment

@derakon thank you
@debo ; this can't be it. the shuffle spell only changes life rating,it doesn't change the stats at all.Comment

I think changing life rating rerolls HP at every level, and the final life rating number is based on your HP at level 50.Comment
