Maybe myth, but I recall three stats to determine your merc/dog/mutie hp:
Luck
Charisma
Endurance

I've tested it extensively, the only thing that makes a difference is luck. Charisma and end do nothing. When you buy a merc there is  a roll for hp which usually varies a small percentage plus the luck bonus which seems to be 100 hp with 10 luck regardless of starting hp.

so let's say, my CH is only 4, but LK 10,  i will still get high hp mercs right?

Well i just did a quick test and the results seem to say something else. I was buying HtH mercs in Redding. Those ninjas.
1. Build:
ST 10, PE 8, EN 4, CH 5, IN 5, AG 7, LK 1
Results: 128HP,128HP,132HP

2. Build:
ST 3, PE 6, EN 4, CH 5, IN 5, AG 7, LK 10
Results: 129HP,130HP,133HP

then probably luck doesnt affect hp for all mercs, but maybe other stats. (hopefully any of them)

[Enzotainment]

Well, I certainly noticed a difference between buying a mutie with 7 charisma, 10 luck and doping up first for 10 charisma, 10 luck.

Highers hp's every time with more charisma. Not sure about endurance, but I've been told it's a factor.

Well unless some dev will provide relevant informations, the only way to find out is test it. And since this is quiet expensive bussiness it would be nice if at least few people cooperated by sharing their results.

 i wana join your experiments ,  i think this can be easily done with lvl 1 characters.

[racoon]

but i believe lvl matters too

it would be best to provide character sheet screenshot along with the merc HP data.

now thinking about it, is it possible, that other merc stats are affected by some SPECIAL too? for example skills?

Ok so luck and cha are what decides it.

[ronillon]

Here's the proof you wanted, only luck changes anything. Skills and level don't affect anything, neither does end or cha. Luck is the only stat that is important.

So why is there such a difference on those two LK10 characters? One has 256HP the other 133HP.

No shit, well apparently it's cha and luck then. All my cha builds have 10 cha because putting points into speech is incredibly inefficient.

[racoon]

nope. i have tested it with 10 lk 10 cha leader and they were still weak. as i said i believe player lvl matters too but i am not 100% sure

I had high hp mercs at lvl 1
