Something also to note is the NPC is wielding a statless 2Hander. It is also a warrior. It also happens to the same NPCs each time.

The NPC is level 16, but is that the level or the random level generated from maxlevel? Are you using an NPC that can scale from level 1 up to 16 or so? This scaling system is specifically meant for very small level ranges at the low level range. It can be used for more variance in level range the higher level you go, but at the low level range it would be really hard to control how stats scale to give good enough results if you are using a very wide range like 1 to 20 or so. For lower than level 25 or so, I would recommend keeping the level and maxlevel settings within 5 levels or less most of the time. If you were doing level 40 to maxlevel 50 ranges (or higher level ranges), that wouldn't be as bad because the scaling would be quite a bit more leveled in that range.

If you notice this only on NPC that actually wear equipment (visible), then it could possibly be something related to the hp calculating functions that get used when calculating bonuses for NPCs for the gear they are wearing. If it is doing those calculations before the level scaling portion is run, it could probably effect the total outcome. Though, I don't think that would be the case. Everything for checking level should be using GetLevel, which gets the actual variable "level", which is what the scaling is setting. I think HPs may do the same, but maybe I need to check out the GetHP() method to make sure nothing is actually pulling that info from the database value.
