chapter 8 "Stats details"
|
|
|
|
Stats are very important! Depending on the style of
|
|
play you prefer, different stats can be of more value
|
|
to you. Fighters may prefer strength, mages
|
|
may favor intelligence.
|
|
|
|
%^RED%^IMPORTANT TIP%^RESET%^: Players start off with 15 stat points
|
|
they can add to their stats...so that if you find your
|
|
strength is abysmally low, you can raise it to where
|
|
your character is playable at lower levels. Don't
|
|
forget to type: %^GREEN%^help customize%^RESET%^
|
|
|
|
%^CYAN%^About "stat classes"%^RESET%^: Depending on the race you choose at
|
|
character creation, your stat class will be something
|
|
in the range of 1 to 5. This is a measure of the stat's
|
|
typical priority for that race. For example, orcs are very
|
|
strong, and so not only do they usually start with a
|
|
high strength stat, their strength class is 1, meaning
|
|
that every time an orc has a level promotion, their strength
|
|
stat is also raised by 1. Humans, however, have a strength
|
|
stat class of 3, meaning a human player's strength stat
|
|
is increased by 1 only every third level promotion.
|
|
|
|
%^CYAN%^Deviation%^RESET%^:Starting in Dead Souls 2.9a18, a player can choose to
|
|
"deviate" from her race's default stat classes. For example,
|
|
you *can* have an orc mage with a high-priority intelligence
|
|
stat. To do so, you use the deviate command to set your
|
|
stat deviation...meaning you're going to devote a certain
|
|
percent of the XP you earn to making yourself better at
|
|
some stats you choose. Naturally, the more you want to
|
|
change a stat class, the more expensive this will be in
|
|
terms of your XP deviance cost. For more information,
|
|
see: %^GREEN%^help deviate%^RESET%^
|
|
|
|
|
|
%^CYAN%^Some notes on individual stats%^RESET%^:
|
|
|
|
High %^MAGENTA%^strength%^RESET%^ means you hit hard when you're in combat,
|
|
but it also means you might be strong enough to perform some
|
|
tasks others cannot, like open very heavy metal doors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
High %^MAGENTA%^intelligence%^RESET%^ means you're able to learn things
|
|
better, quicker, like skill training and languages. It
|
|
means your training points do you more good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
High %^MAGENTA%^charisma%^RESET%^ means it's easier to befriend animals,
|
|
which is important if you want to, for example, mount
|
|
a horse:
|
|
|
|
%^GREEN%^befriend horse%^RESET%^
|
|
%^GREEN%^mount horse%^RESET%^
|
|
|
|
|
|
%^MAGENTA%^Agility%^RESET%^ and %^MAGENTA%^coordination%^RESET%^ are important for avoiding being
|
|
hit, and for certain special abilities like stealth,
|
|
lock picking, shooting, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
%^MAGENTA%^Wisdom%^RESET%^ is important for some types of spells.
|
|
|
|
|
|
%^MAGENTA%^Durability%^RESET%^ helps determine how much stamina you have...
|
|
this is vital to lasting through long combat or moving
|
|
quickly through terrain on foot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, %^MAGENTA%^luck%^RESET%^ is an all-around general good thing to have
|
|
lots of...some random situations may call for it, and just
|
|
like in real life, it's hard to know when it'll come in handy,
|
|
but boy can it mean the difference between win and fail!
