When does Stamina affect Hit Points?

Anyone familiar with D&D knows to apply their Constitution modifier every time they roll for hit points. But reading the actual words in DCC, it's a little unclear:

On page 18 under Stamina, it reads "Your Stamina modifier affects hit points (even at level 0)".

On page 27 under Choosing A Class and Hit points, it makes no mention of Stamina.

Nor is Stamina mentioned under Hit points in the class descriptions.

From the above, I don't think it would be unreasonable for one to assume that you add your Stamina mod to your hit points during character creation, and then never again. I would assume this is incorrect, however, and that it applies to all rolls for hit points, rather than just hit points.

This is the telling phrase, indicating Stamina affects hit points at other levels including humble level 0. Pair that with the general assumption from D&D, and add liberally thereunto "the Judge is always right" and there you have it! :mrgreen:
