I'd be surprised if no one else discovered this, but since I couldn't find a previous report for this problem I thought I'd add one. In 1.0, Pariden with 1 earth shard (and mods disabled) the hitpoint bonus from noblelegacy for having 1 earth shard does not take effect. You can see it take effect in the stats screen (17 hp), but not in the statusbar in the bottom left (16 hp, as per screenshot). I also managed to get into a fight with some darklings, and when the statusbar showed 4 hitpoints left, I let the darkling hit her for 4 hitpoints worth of damage and she fell, showing that it was using the number that does not account for the noblelegacy spell.

Also, while testing this, I noticed that if you go to the options menu while in battle and hit escape to get out, it will kick you out of the battle you were in.
