Statistics are a set of numbers that describes your character. Statistics may depend on a character's level, race, skills practiced, age, and other factors.
Most statistics depend on a character's base abilities:
| Strength | (STR) | Raw physical power. Among other things, it affects your ability to cause damage in melee and it sets a limit to how much you can carry. |
| Dexterity | (DEX) | Useful to& defend oneself against non-magical damage, and to perform precision tasks. |
| Constitution | (CON) | Health and endurance. A must for whoever plans to spend much time fighting. |
| Perception | (PER) | Eyesight, hearing, smell... It helps in detecting hidden things and in taking aim. |
| Intelligence | (INT) | Memory and abstract reasoning. A wizard's best friend. |
| Wisdom | (WIS) | Common sense. It affects clerical spells and herblore. |
| Willpower | (WIL) | Iron nerves can help when facing hostile magic, when trying to force your will onto others, and when performing strenuous activities. |
