Statspage

A small stats page of a character.

Statistics (henceforth abbreviated as stats) are a collection of numbers that define your characters. They modify what your character can do and how effectively they can do it.

Statistics break down into seven main categories:

  • Weapon Skills
  • Combat Skills
  • Thievery Skills
  • Athletic Skills
  • Science Skills
  • Trade Skills

These stats can be increased by completing actions that are affected by said stats. For example, weapons skills can be increased by engaging in combat with the specified weapon.
