Basic Stats

Morale

Morale is the amount of damage you can take before being defeated in combat. It is the equivalent of "health" or "hit points" in other games. When your morale runs out you are "defeated", during this time you have 600 seconds to be restored to life, or have the option to "retreat". When the timer expires, or you use the retreat option, your character is brought to the nearest respawn area and given temporary dread.

• 1 point of Vitality = 3 point increase in Maximum Morale
• 1 point of Vitality = 5 point increase in Maximum Morale for tank classes (Guardians, Wardens).

Morale Regeneration

Lost morale can be restored, both in combat and out of combat, by some skills, by drinking certain potions, by eating certain food, or by resting. Minstrels, Captains, Lore-masters and Rune-keepers (MoM) can restore other characters' morale and most classes have skills enabling them to restore their own morale. Skills and potions are designed for In-Combat use, and work equally well In-Combat or Out-of-Combat; Food provides a higher regeneration Out-of-Combat.

Out-of-Combat Morale Regeneration

Vitality increases your Out-of-Combat Morale Regeneration.

In-Combat Morale Regeneration

Fate increases your In-Combat Morale Regeneration.

Power

Power is your inner reserve. It is used by almost all skills.

• 1 point of Will = 3 point increase in Maximum Power

Power Regeneration

Lore-masters have a skill which restores power in other characters, and several classes have skills that can restore their own. In addition the character can drink certain potions, eat certain food, or rest. Skills and potions are designed for In-Combat use, and work equally well In-Combat or Out-of-Combat; Food provides a higher regeneration Out-of-Combat.

Out-of-Combat Power Regeneration

Will increases your Out-of-Combat Power Regeneration.

In-Combat Power Regeneration

Fate increases your In-Combat Power Regeneration.

Armour

Armour reduces incoming damage from common damage sources. See the Armour article for more details.

Hope

• 10 points of Radiance = 1 point increase in Hope

Main Attributes

Vitality

Vitality increases your maximum morale, your out-of-combat morale regeneration, resistances to Wound, Disease, Poison and Shadow effects. It also reduces incoming damage from non-weapon sources like Fire, Frost, and Shadow.

• 1 point of Vitality = 3 point increase in maximum Morale. 5 point for Guardian and Warden.
• 1 point of Vitality = 2 point increase in Wound, Disease and Poison resist ratings

Will

Will increases your maximum power pool, your out-of-combat power regeneration, and how much you resist Fear effects, including cowering from Dread.

• 1 point of Will = 3 point increase in maximum Power
• 1 point of Will = 2 point increase in Fear resist rating

Fate

Fate increases your in-combat power regeneration and in-combat morale regeneration. Fate also increases the chance and magnitude of Criticals on Tactical skills (healing and damage spells).

• 1 point of Fate = 2 points of Tactical Critical Effect Chance Rating

Might

Might increases your ability to block incoming attacks with a shield, parry incoming blows, or cause greater damage with a weapon. It also reduces incoming common damage.

Agility

Agility increases your ability to evade and parry incoming blows, adds to the amount of ranged damage you deal, and increases your chance to critically hit a foe with common damage (ranged or melee). It also improved your hit chance.

• 50 points of agility = 1% Crit Chance increase.

Radiance

Radiance staves off the effects of Gloom. Radiance no longer adds to your Hope modifier and will not counteract Dread.

• Evade chance rating = Agility x 2

Your chance to parry or partially parry an incoming Melee or Ranged hit. A Weapon must be equipped in order to parry, and your attacker must be in front of you.

• Parry chance rating = Might + Agility

Stat caps

The following is a list of character stat caps (base character stat + slotted traits + equipment bonuses). Note that character stats, traits and bonuses affect the rating for chance skills, rather than increasing the chance directly.
There is a benefit for exceeding the caps if you are fighting mobs of a higher level than yourself: your stat disadvantage will not be deducted from the cap, but from your nominal higher rating (then reduced to the cap, if necessary).
Note that Buffs, such as the Elf +75% Parry chance for 10 seconds, can cause a character to exceed these caps.

• Vitality, Will, Fate, Might, Agility: Level-cap times 10, the current cap is 650.
• Melee, Ranged, Tactical Crit chance: 15%
• Block, Evade, Parry chance: 15%
• Common Defence caps:

• Light Armour rating: max. 30% mitigation
• Medium Armour rating: max. 40% mitigation
• Heavy Armour rating: max. 50% mitigation

For the armour related caps, it isn't important what you are wearing, just what you can wear. The Minstrel's Medium Armour trait increases their Common Defence cap from 30% to 40%, regardless of armour worn.
