| How strong you are. This will affect how much weight you can carry before
becoming encumbered, as well as what armors you can wear. It will also determine the force behind the swing of your sword or hammer, thus affecting how much damage
you do in melee combat. Strength does not affect the damage you'll do with "aiming" weapons like bows, daggers, and spears. |
| Contstitution |
| Constitution is a measure of how resiliant you are, and characters with
a higher constitution enjoy more hit points and stamina as compared to the more frail races. This statistis is important for all classes, though it's probably more
important for those that plan on absorbing a lot of damage. Always look to keep your Constitution as high as possible. Constitution is also penalized by ressurection,
though a healer will be happy to help you remove the penalty for a fee. Dwarves are naturally the hardiest race in DAoC, though others aren't too far behind. |
| Dexterity |
| Dexterity, a very important statistic for Rogues, controls the use of weapons
that rely on finesse instead of brute strength. Light blades (such as daggers and rapiers), spear type weapons, as well as bows will be greatly affected by this
statistic. Many rogue skills will also be influenced, but then again you wouldn't expect someone rather clumsy to really scale a wall. It is also an important skill
for mages, not only for the slight bonus to monster evasion it provides, but also because Dexterity affects a mage's ability to hit with a bolt spell. Saracens
and Lurikeen top out the Dexterity category, though the Elves aren't far behind at all. |
| Quickness |
| Quickness translates directly to speed, though not running speed. Quickness
affects how fast you will swing or fire your weapon, making it important to warriors and rogues. Lurikeen top this category out too, just squeaking past their Elvish
cousins to take the top rank. |
| Intelligence |
| A character's Intelligence is a rating of how powerful their mind is, and
a very important statistic for elemental magic. It also controls how much mana any individual character can hold at any single moment. All Albion casters, as well
as the elemental mages of Hibernia treat this as a primary stat. Oddly enough, it's not the Elves that possess the most Intelligence, but the Avalonians of Avalon.
Perhaps having your city in a marsh encourages the children to study more. |
| Piety |
| Piety shows the faith you have in your chosen diety, as well as the strength
of the bond between you. For users of priestly magic, being the Albion clerical classes and all of the Midgardian casters, this is a very important statistic. Hibernians
don't seem to have much use for it though. No races have any natural bonus or penalty to Piety. |
| Empathy |
| Empathy is the bond between a specific character and nature itself, making
this the apparant Hibernian equivalent to Piety. Hibernian healers draw their powers from the land, and this measure of Empathy will allow their spells to have
a greater affect. Of all twelve races in DAoC, only Firbolg have an increased Empathy, something quite odd about a race that is large enough to break trees. |
| Charisma |
| Charisma is a conglomeration of a number of different measures of a persons
character. Their looks, their personality, their stance - all of this contributes to a persons natural charisma. Bards, Minstrels, and Skalds are said to rely on
their Charisma to give their songs an increased potency, though no other direct effects have been seen. |
