Help for stats

Three attributes define your character: Body, Mind, and Spirit. Almost every other number you carry is worked out from those three, your level, and your gear.

The three attributes:

  Body    Toughness. How much punishment you take and how hard you hit.
  Mind    Precision. State effects, mental defense, and part of your aether.
  Spirit  Power. The size of your aether pool and the force of your aether work.

What they drive:

  health          Body, then Spirit. Also grows with every level.
  aether          Spirit, then Mind. Also grows with every level.
  evasion         Body, then Mind.
  martial power   Body, then Spirit. Your physical damage bonus.
  aether power    Spirit, then Mind. Your aether damage bonus.
  resilience      Mind, then Spirit. Shortens states put on you.
  state potency   Mind, then Spirit. Extends the states you apply.

  Each of those has its own page with the exact formula. Try help evasion
  or help martial power.

  armor and warding come from the gear you wear. No attribute raises them.

Allocation:

  Every stat begins at 1. You have 3 points to spend at level 1, and gain 2
  more with each level after that. Find an attribute trainer and use train
  to spend them.

  Spending is permanent. Only changing class returns your points, and that
  choice closes at level 16.

Seeing where you stand:

  score lists your attributes and the combat numbers they produce.
