“Abilities: 0 of 0. Attributes Strength: 0. Constitution: 0. Dexterity: 0. Perception: 0. Mind: 0. Magic: 0. Faith: 0. Every skill and ability is governed by one of the seven attributes. They, in turn, act as a cap on both your skills and the number of abilities you can learn. For every rank you invest in an attribute, you can advance your skill level by ten and acquire one ability slot. Strength is an attribute that primarily influences a player’s ability with heavy and medium weapons. Each rank you invest in Strength also increases your carrying capacity and how much you can lift. First and foremost, Dexterity determines a player’s ability with light weapons and evasive combat maneuvers. Each rank in Dexterity also improves your speed. Perception influences a player’s accuracy with ranged weapons, as well as his ability to anticipate his opponents’ moves and sense oddities in the surroundings. Constitution enables players to increase their health and fortitude, while Mind determines a player’s ability with psionic skills and abilities. Similarly, Magic influences the power of a player’s elemental spells and Faith, the strength of a player’s light, dark, shadow, necromancy, and life spells.”
