Attributes

Attributes are data that represent a character's basic physical and mental abilities. A character's attributes can be improved by increasing the corresponding skills and by wearing equipment that grants the appropriate bonuses.

Health

"The amount of currently available, as well as maximum health, is derived from the Constitution attribute"

See the constitution attribute below.

Constitution

"Increased Constitution results in a greater health pool for a combatant."

A character's maximum health pool is determined by its constitution. The value can be calculated by multiplying the constitution value by 5. You can raise your constitution 3 points for every point put into the Medic skill. By assigning maximum points to the medic skill a character can have an additional 150 HP.

Strength

"Strength allows a combatant to attack more effectively with melee weapons, dealing more damage."

Strength affects melee damage. Strength can be raised by putting points into the Melee Weapon.

Reflexes

"Increased Reflexes allow a combatant to attack faster and have a chance to deal a preventive strike. Additionally, the chance to block increases by one third per Reflex Point."
