A Question of Presentation
I'm putting the finishing touches on the latest draft of the character classes for Secrets of sha-Arthan. In doing so, I'm finding myself befuddled by the clearest way to present certain bits of rules information. A good case in point is the presentation of accumulated hit dice by level.
At 1st level, all classes begin with a number of hit points equal to their Vigor (VIG) score. At 2nd level, all classes receive an additional number of hit points equal to the results of a random roll. Additional random rolls are made at every even level thereafter (4th, 6th, etc.), while no new hit points are gained at odd levels. What's the best way to present this?
Here's Option 1:

Option 2 tries to be more clear:

Option 3:

Ultimately, I simply want a presentation that's clear, easy to understand, and useful. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the best way to achieve this.
