It is very beautiful. Is this way called hardcoding?

using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace RPG.Stats
{
    internal struct Progression
    {
        private static readonly Dictionary<CharacterClass, Dictionary<Stat, int[]>> LookupTables = new();

        static Progression()
        {
            LookupTables.Add(CharacterClass.Player, new Dictionary<Stat, int[]>());
            LookupTables[CharacterClass.Player].Add(Stat.Health, new[] { 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 });
            LookupTables[CharacterClass.Player].Add(Stat.ExperienceReward, new[] { 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 });

This is, indeed, hard coding. It’s not terribly scalable, though… It won’t look quite as pretty when you want 100 levels and a dozen or so more stats… (Not that the SO method is all that pretty at scale, either)
