Shin Megami Tensei II Level growth

Lv 99 at 1,627,000 EXP

101Leafy researched the game for how the party grows. Only the hero and the partner level up. Demons never gain EXP.

Stat points

Each level gained gives one point to place on St, In, Ma, Vi, Ag, or Lu. A base stat of 40 takes no more points. While the screen is open, a point can be taken back off, down to the value the stat had before the level-up. HP and MP refill to the new maximum after every point. The hero places points first, then the partner.

Max HP and MP

	Max HP	Max MP
Hero	(St + Vi) × (Lv + 1) ÷ 4 + 14	0
Partner	(St + Vi) × (Lv + 1) ÷ 5 + 10	(Ma + In) × (Lv + 4) ÷ 8 + 4

Both stop at 999 and every division rounds down. The hero has no MP. A hero at Lv 6 with St 6 and Vi 6 has (6 + 6) × 7 ÷ 4 + 14 = 35 max HP.

EXP for each level

The EXP that takes level L to L + 1 follows 10 × L × (L + 1) × (L + 2) ÷ 6, with two breaks. Level 48 needs 184,249 against 184,240 on the curve. From level 83 up every level needs 10,000 more than the curve, except level 91, which needs 9,000 more. The hero and the partner use the same table.
