The numbers are determined by a simple dice roll. They are further modified by a few things mentioned in the application that can be used to slightly push the numbers in one direction. Age, mostly. So your age will modify this slightly. The highest starting experience you can get(not counting age) is 4. Highest ToF you can get(not counting age) is 10.
