Originally compiled by Gourry.
To compare with the Shining Force remake stats (and for those who have not/will not play the remake), here are character stats for the original. These are taken at 15/15 (reasonable enough, at least to me. I tend to promote on the Balbazak level, so that you aren't totally screwed by the stat hit after promotion). This may be high to some, but I feel they're reasonable enough. There may be a concern for people like Bleu and Adam, who come at nearly the end of the game, but end up with decent stats provided that they are levelled.
Everyone has the best storebought weapons for their class. Exceptions are Max (who is the only one who is able to use the Chaos Breaker), the dwarves (it is possible to get 2 Atlas Axes. One's in a chest, and the other's a drop), and Musashi and Hanzou (initial equips).
Note that characters often double-attack and critical (magic can also critical), so these damage figures are lower than they should be. I used a random robot enemy in Ramladu's stage as my test target.
