Something like this:
<$vars lev1={{!!levello1}} lev2={{!!levello2}} hd1={{{
[title{!!class}get[hd]] }}} hd2={{{ [title{!!class}get[hd]] }}}
conmod={{{ [<currentTiddler>get[modcon]] }}}>
<$vars hps={{{ [<hd1>multiply[2]subtract[2]] }}} hp1={{{
[<lev1>multiply<hd1>] }}} hp2={{{ [<lev2>multiply<hd2>] }}} lev={{{
[<lev1>add<lev2>] }}}>
<$vars hpcon={{{ [<conmod>multiply<lev>] }}}>
<$vars hitpoints={{{ [<hps>add<hp1>add<h2>add<hpcon>] }}}>
<!-- further actions here -->
</$vars>
</$vars>
</$vars>
</$vars>
Only use action-setfield with the final values you wish to save.
