== '''Stats''' ==
You chose your character's stats when you create it, and have to live with the decision thereafter.  There is no one perfect way to set up an individual character class.  Much of it depends on your playing style, your preferences and the decision you make as to how you want your character to make his or her  way through the world.  Below are the basic descriptions of how the stats affect the characters.

== '''Strength''' ==


Strength is one factor in determining how much damage you do with weapons and special attacks. It directly affects the amount of weight you can carry before suffering penalties. It also increases your chance to gain Offense and Bash skill points.
This is probably the most important skill for tanks.  Strength affects your maximum damage cap, the average damage you do, how much stuff you can carry and how quickly you learn many offensive skills. If you plan on wearing heavy armor and carrying around a lot of extra equipment, you will need decent strength.  With a high strength you can carry more loot and armor and go longer before having to run back to town to sell. If you plan on soloing, you may want to put extra points into strength, even if you are a magic user.  It is definitely important for a fighter type to have good strength, but you should also consider some of the other attributes.


Tradeskills: If your strength is higher than your intelligence or wisdom, it determines how quickly you gain skill in Blacksmithing.


== '''Stamina''' ==
== '''Stamina''' ==


Stamina increases your maximum hitpoints. Different classes get more hit points per point of stamina than others. Stamina also determines your maximum air supply when you are underwater or in an airless zone. One of the most important stats for all classes.
 
One of the most important stats for all classes.  The higher your stamina, the more hit points you get for each level.  Over time, this can really pay off. It also affects how well you can breathe underwater. This is more important for the tank classes than magic users.
 


== '''Dexterity''' ==
== '''Dexterity''' ==


Dexterity affects your chances for special melee abilities such as combat effects, critical hits, and activating magic effects on weapons. It increases your chances to gain points in most combat skills and rogue skills. It is also a factor in determining how often you hit with your bows (no impact on damage). Bard Only: High dexterity decreases the chance you will miss a note while playing a song.


Tradeskills: If your dexterity is higher than your intelligence or wisdom, it determines how quickly you gain skill in Fletching and Make Poison.
This determines how hard you hit with your bows, how quickly you learn weapon and rogue skills, and how often a magic weapon will process it's skill.  This is a good skill to have for fighters, especially rangers and rogues, and of only limited use for magic users.
 


== '''Agility''' ==
== '''Agility''' ==


This determines how often you get hit or missed by an attack and how much damage you take when you get hit.  It also affects how quickly you learn defensive skills.  Since you will take less damage and have a better chance of not having your spells disrupted if you have a higher amount of agility, this is useful for both fighters and magic users.  However, for magic users, its usefulness diminishes as you go up in levels and spend less time in actual melee.  I wouldn't bother with this stat too much for a magic user who plans on grouping most of the time, but a solo magic user should probably have a high agility.

The biggest effect of charisma is in the amount you will get buying from and selling to NPC’s.  If they like you, they give you a better deal, which is not to be ignored in the cash starved world of Norrath.  Charisma also affects the initial saving throw for charm spells and critical resist for lull spells.
