It'll be just like Halo. I think my highest brute is level 5 with 80ish hitpoints. I have a level 4 with 110 hitpoints. And one of them just plain sucks. Like 5 wins in 20ish battles.
Buffy! If I wanted to fight, you could tell by the being dead already.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Wow, that kind of takes the sport out of it...
I have a theory that you're more likely to inherit traits that your master had. I've seen some clustering of abilities from Peeeeeeev's pupils but I'm not sure if there's really a pattern.

Other three brutes have 1, 2, and 3 (crazy how that worked out). Not saying the theory is busted, just adding additional data.
Primary has 89 hp level 6. Secondary have 69hp-L5, 111hp-L5, and 80hp-L4.

Oh, and Omnis, here's a really good reason why I love Team Fortress 2 - the sense of humor. This [link] is to a whole bunch of movies about the cast of the game. They're great and have only gotten better with each release. The Heavy was the first one released and is probably the first to watch. Just make sure you watch The Spy last. You really want to build up to that one.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My mom now has a brute called Mom Thing. She kicked both my brutes' asses.

I just watched the reply of her match versus your Lagaretta, and you were unlucky to have your opponent dodge all of your swings with that big frikkin' club.
And, in case you've never noticed, you can rewatch a match by clicking on the words describing the outcome on the lower right of your 'cell'.

cool! Funny, there was already a brute named Slap Chop. I created Roonil Wazlib who beat Mom Thing, but then Lagaretta kicked Roonil's ass.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I've been pretty bored at work these days so I have several auxilliary backup Brutes that I've been fighting with when Alterjess runs out for the day.
My favorite right now is a teeny blonde Brute named Grr-Arghhh who HAS a big club if she needs it but prefers to just punch people.
And Evil Laugh, who can steal weapons. Now that is a handy trick.

I just created a level 1 character - Covenborn - who came within a whisker of beating my level 7 character - Death Spigot.
I think they've tweaked it so you can only get xp from pupils who aren't yours. Clearly I need more pupils (hint hint).

move out and draw fire
OK, I'll make you a pupil. Sarcastica's a crappy fighter anyway.
ETA Curses! Site is down again.
Oh well, back to World of Goo.
