*Character Stat System
Characters will have scores or ratings in these core attributes, with higher values indicating greater proficiency.
1. Strength (STR)
Definition:
Represents a character's raw physical power, muscle, and ability to exert force.
Effects:
Directly contributes to melee damage and carrying capacity. Influences physical feats like grappling, breaking objects, or pushing heavy loads.
2. Agility (AGI)
Definition:
Measures a character's reflexes, coordination, balance, and fine motor skills.
Effects: Contributes to accuracy with ranged and precise melee attacks. Determines a character's ability to evade/dodge attacks and impacts movement speed and stealth.
3. Vitality (VIT)
Definition:
Represents a character's overall physical constitution, life force, endurance, and resilience against physical harm or exhaustion.
Effects:
Directly contributes to a character's maximum Health Points (HP) and stamina/endurance. Aids in resisting poisons, diseases, or sustained physical trauma, and can influence the speed of natural healing.
4. Intelligence (INT)
Definition:
Measures a character's mental acuity, logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, memory, and capacity for learning and understanding complex theories.
Effects:
Often influences the total amount of Magical Energy (Mana) a character has available. Can determine the raw power or complexity of spells (especially arcane or scholarly magic) and aids in knowledge recall and problem-solving.
5. Resolve (RES)
Definition:
Represents a character's mental strength, fortitude, willpower, and inner clarity. It's their capacity to endure mental stress, resist influence, and maintain focus.
Effects:
Crucial for resisting mental influence, illusions, fear, or charm effects. Aids in maintaining concentration during spellcasting or difficult tasks, and can contribute to perception and spiritual insight by allowing the mind to remain clear and focused.
6. Charisma (CHA)
Definition:
Reflects a character's force of personality, charm, leadership, persuasiveness, and ability to influence others.
Effects:
Influences success in social interactions like convincing, intimidating, or negotiating. Aids in rallying allies, commanding units, or impacting diplomacy and performance.
7. Criticals (CRT)
Definition:
Represents a character's innate propensity for striking vital points or exploiting weaknesses for devastating blows, and the magnitude of damage dealt when doing so.
Effects:
Directly influences the frequency of critical hits (Critical Rate) and the increased damage output of those critical hits (Critical Damage). A higher CRT allows a character to bypass defenses more often and inflict significantly more damage, independent of raw Strength or Agility.
8. Luck (LCK)
Definition:
Represents a character's innate propensity for favorable outcomes, random fortune, or avoiding misfortune.
Effects:
Can subtly influence critical hit rates (for both damage dealt and avoided). Improves chances for rare finds during exploration or looting. Might impact the success of actions with a significant element of chance, or even turn a near-miss into a complete dodge. It's the intangible "roll of the dice" that favors the character.
