Statistics

A small stats page of a character.

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:

• Attributes
• 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.

Weapon skills

Weapons Skills are stats that govern how much damage you do with certain weapons. They can be increased by direct combat with a weapon. There are currently 7 Weapon Skills.

Melee

• Katanas - Weapons that specialize in cutting damage. Very offensive, scarifying defense to attack, with great attack speed.
• Sabres - Weapons that specialize in a mix of cutting a blunt damage, but more in cutting. Granting defense bonus, often at the expense of attack, they compensate they lower speed than katanas by the ability to efficiently block until the smallest opening to attack.
• Hackers - Weapons that specialize in a perfect mix of cutting and blunt damage. Well balanced between offense and defense. A bit slow, but with good damage.
• Heavy Weapons - Weapons that specialize in a mix of blunt and cutting damage, but more so blunt. Really slow, but with a great reach and huge damage.
• Blunt - Weapons that specialize in blunt damage, resulting in a non-lethal knockout. Good to put the enemy in bloodloss KO. Slower than blades but a strong character can wield them with a decent speed and high damage.
• Polearms - Weapons that specialize in range and speed, making them very lethal against animals. Very unhandy indoors, but ideal for a hunter/huntress.

Range

• Turrets - Determines the ability for characters to use defensive weapon turrets (accuracy, aiming speed and reload speed).
