Player Stats

Every player has three primary stats to contend with. These are Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence. Each of these stats has a significant bearing on the game and how powerful you are.

Strength
Strength affects how many Hit Points (HP) you have, adds some Magic Resistance, and determines much equipment and items you can carry. Strength (in combination with dexterity) also affects the amount of bonus non-magical damage you deal using weapons.

Dexterity
Dexterity affects how quickly you can move and adds some Magic Resistance. Having a lot of dexterity can also affect your defense (depending on the type of armour worn), and also affects (in combination with strength) the amount of bonus non-magical damage you deal using weapons.

Intelligence
Intelligence affects how much Mana you have to use for spells, and has a significant affect on your Magic Resistance. Spells also increase in effectiveness when the user has a high intelligence.

Other Attributes

As well as these primary stats, there are a few other stats to bear in mind.

HP
Hit Points determine the amount of damage you can take before you eventually kick the bucket. Naturally, once your Hit Points equals zero, you're dead. On the regular server, you can resurrect yourself by pressing shift + 1 which instantly resurrects you in the town in which you are bound. However, this also induces resurrection sickness which can only be cured by meditating at a shrine. On the permanent death servers, death costs you a resurrection stone. Once you run out of these resurrection stones, you are permanently dead and your character is deleted. Permanent death servers are not for the faint of heart!

Mana
Mana is used when spells are cast. When you have no Mana, you cannot cast spells. Mana can be restored by meditating or drinking a blue potion.

Attack Strength
Attack Strength is how effective you are in combat. The higher it is, the more effective you will be at inflicting damage on highly defended targets.

Defense
Defense determines how hard you are to damage. The higher it is, the more damage you will absorb without losing hit points. This is influenced primarily by the type of armour you are wearing.

Magic Resistance
This is essentially defense against magic. The higher it is, the less damage you take against certain spells (there are a few exceptions where Magic Resistance has no effect). It is influenced primarily by intelligence, and slightly by strength and dexterity, and also by any equipped items with bonuses that effect Magic Resistance.
