If you consider you start with 20 hp's. Each level an arial thief will get about 12-14 hp's...lets say 13 avg.  13 x 31 is 403.  Add the 20 from level one...that is 423.  So you are about at the mark.  The thing to consider with arials, however, is this.  What is their max int?  23 I assume.  With that int, you will get 71% on skills in one practice.  If you do that, you can easily earn 7 or 8 trains for health in addition to the 6 you will get from levels 2-30.  With that you, can easily max you dex and gain some extra health. I would never take stats from an arial that didn't have str and con maxed at the start.  Plus at least 17 int and 18wis.  Dex at between 19-21.  With a stat roller, you can get that easy.  With stats of 19 17 18 21 18, you can max dex at level 5 ( three from start and then one at level 5)and throw the rest into health.   I guess to sum up an answer, I would have around 500 hp's at that rank with a naked thief with at least one or two trains set aside for con deaths.   Then again, I could be smoking crack and the what I just wrote a bunch of bs.
