### <mark style="color:yellow;">Notes</mark>

* The `Str`/`Agi`/`Vit`/`Ene`/`Com` values in block 0 are a guaranteed minimum, not an addition: they only overwrite the attribute if the value registered here is higher than the class default — they never reduce an attribute that is naturally higher from the start.
* The kit is delivered only once per character (it is marked internally); reducing or disabling the general switch later does not remove what has already been given.
* `Com` only has an effect on Dark Lord/Lord Emperor — for other classes, this column is ignored even if filled with a number.
