In addition, raising the related attribute of each spell increases the damage of the corresponding spell.

Charisma is also used to determine ability to recruit NPCs to My Home. The player's charisma must be higher than the target's highest main attribute to successfully recruit them.

Status Attributes

Status attributes have a strong bearing on the related stats, and contribute heavily to formulae involving them. These are very hard to raise compared to main attributes.

Life/HP

Every character has a number of health points (HP) defined by their life statistic (based on choice of race), and their strength, constitution, and will attributes. Generally speaking, this value will begin low and will increase as any of those four factors increases.

Once a character's HP goes below zero, the character is slain.

The formula appears to be:

[INSERT FORMULA HERE]

Temporary bonuses to life or any other HP-altering attributes from equipment, blessed potions of restore body/mind, feats, mutations, or other revocable sources all change maximum hit points. Unequipping items that give an HP-boosting attribute bonus will immediately recalculate your maximum HP, and requipping items that give an HP-boosting attribute bonus will also recalculate your maximum HP to a higher value, but will not increase your current HP. Unlike in Elona, Spells like the Hero spell, which grants temporary strength, DO add HP. Abilities that drain your attributes until restored at a healer, will reduce your maximum HP.

Generally speaking, Life is the most important attribute determining HP, followed by character level. Of the major attributes, Constitution is the most important, especially when your levels are low.

The Metal race (Gold Bells, Silver Bells) has the lowest health point total in the game, due to having a life rating of 1. Even these characters, however, always have a minimum of 15 hit points.

Mana/MP

Mana heavily determines the player's mana pool(MP). MP is also determined by magic, will, learning, and perception.

Vigor/SP

Vigor heavily determines the player's stamina pool(SP). SP is also determined by endurance and sum of all skills.

Speed

Speed is a measure of how fast the player is in relation to other enemies. This can determine how many turns the player takes per global turn, allowing fast players to take several turns before other npcs or creatures, and vice versa.

Luck

Luck has a chance to improve any decision using dice values, such as weapon or magic damage rolls or judging the amount of recovery.

Each point of luck is a percentage chance that the player will reroll when attempting dice roll in game, and they will take the better result.

The default luck is universally 0, before feats and equipment.

Each 100 points of luck adds another chance to reroll- at 100 luck, the player would always roll twice, and at 200, three times.

Special Attributes

These are special stats set for certain races. The only way to enhance them acquired is through the effects of equipping some artifacts.

Perfect Evasion

This gives you percentage chance to completely evade physical attacks.

Physical Damage Reduction

This reduces physical damage by a percentage.

Elemental Damage Reduction

Reduces non-physical damage by a percentage.
