+In Aetolia there are four primary stats which affect your character - Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Constitution.
+==Primary Statistics==
-These affect your character in the following ways:
+===Strength===
-* '''Strength''' - Increases the damage of most physical attacks.
+Brawn. Muscle. An index of how physically forceful your character is.
-* '''Dexterity''' - Increases your chance to avoid physical attacks. Increases the damage of venom-based attacks.
+* Strength directly influences the damage values of Tekura combos, Dhuriv combos, various strikes from {{class|Carnifex}} and {{class|Templar}}, {{skill|Frenzy}}, {{skill|Garrote}}, and much more.
-* '''Intelligence''' - Increases your mana and willpower. Increases the damage of magical attacks.
+* Strength has little use other than to increase damage output.
-* '''Constitution''' - Increases your health and endurance.
+===Dexterity===
+A measure of your character's speed and reaction time. The ability to multitask or instinctively avoid attack.
+* High Dexterity scores will allow you to dodge attacks more frequently.
+* The damage of the venoms {{skill|Sumac}} and {{skill|Camus}} are heavily derived from the character's Dexterity score.
+* Dexterity will also increase the damage of {{skill|Bonedagger}}. Because high Dexterity statpacks are often coupled with increased balance gain, this makes Dexterity a valuable stat for {{class|Indorani}}, whose [[Tarot]] attacks are based on balance.
-Following this, there are several other 'energy' type statistics available to characters. Of these, three are always available to all characters - Endurance, Willpower and Blood.
+===Intelligence===
+Your character's cleverness, inventiveness, and mental aptitude. Natural skill with magic, sciences, and other lofty concepts.
+* Intelligence provides you with more mana, and more willpower.
+* Examples of skills whose damage increases effectively with Intelligence are {{skill|Staffcast}}, {{skill|Decay}}, {{skill|Crush|Mind Crush}}, and more.
+* A {{class|Cabalist}} will value high Intelligence, as the increased mana synergizes well with {{skill|Link}}, making them effectively tankier.
+===Constitution===
+Physical sturdiness and internal well-being. Your character's threshold for pain, and ability to go long distances without tiring.
+* Constitution affects very little, but is a vital statistic, as it increases your health and endurance.
-'''Endurance''' is used by most physical attacks.<br>
+==Secondary Statistics==
-'''Willpower''' is used by most magical attacks, as well as many defensive abilities.<br>
-'''Blood''' is a rarely used pool, it most commonly comes into play when dealing with [[Vampires]] and [[Bloodborn]]. Your 'blood level' is directly proportional to your own level.
+===Endurance===
+A measure of your character's stamina, and ability to fight tirelessly. Your endurance regenerates very slowly, though this regeneration rate can be affected by various means.
+* Moving from room to room will take a very small amount of endurance.
+* Physical attacks (Tekura, weapon swings, swipes, etc.) will drain substantial amounts of endurance.
+* When your endurance reaches 25% or lower, you will begin to notice your character feeling exceedingly tired, sweating profusely, or breathing heavily.
+* Some skills, such as {{skill|Recuperating}}, will confer a large passive gain in endurance, so long as you do not break the effect. Others, like {{skill|Invigorate}}, will grant you an immediate endurance gain.
+* You can increase your endurance regeneration by wearing a [[Mountain (tattoo)|Mountain tattoo]], increasing your [[Fitness]] level, residing in a room with increased endurance regeneration, or through [[Racial Skills|racials]].
-Other 'energy pools' are related to certain skillsets, these are:
+===Willpower===
-* '''Devotion''' - [[Devotion]]
+Like endurance, but pertaining to endurance of the mind; the ability to concentrate on extremely complex tasks without losing your nerve.
-* '''Essence''' - [[Necromancy]]
+* Willpower is drained primarily through magical abilities.
-* '''Kai''' - [[Kaido]]
+* Maintaining a {{skill|Mind Lock}} will drain small amounts of Willpower, but activating passives such as {{skill|Mind Sapience|Sapience}} or {{skill|Mind Listen|Listen}} will increase the drain dramatically.
-* '''Spark''' - [[Illumination]]
+* When your willpower reaches 25% or lower, your mind will begin to feel plodding, and your attention will be stolen by even the most mundane sights.
+* Willpower can be restored passively through skills such as {{skill|Symphony}}, or actively through {{skill|Replenish}}.
+* Willpower regenerates much in the same way endurance does, through natural means, the [[Owl (tattoo)|Owl tattoo]], the [[Philosophy]] skill, or [[Racial Skills|racials]].
+==Tertiary Statistics==
+===Blood===
+Literally, the amount of blood stored in your body.
+* {{class|Praenomen}} and {{class|Bloodborn}} use blood to power many of their abilities, especially those in [[Sanguis]] and [[Hematurgy]]. These abilities have varying costs, ranging from negligible to exhausting.
+* If a [[vampire]] manages to deplete their blood supply, they will go into a [[bloodrage]], attacking anyone in sight uncontrollably.
+* {{class|Praenomen}} must {{skill|Feed}} from corpses or willing/disabled living victims to replenish their blood. {{class|Bloodborn}} draw blood from the same victims by using their [[bloodwisp]].
+* Blood rarely comes into play for a non-vampiric character, but is drained if they are fed from, or slit their wrists.
+* If a non-vampiric character's blood reserves reach 0%, they will die.
+* It is possible to have more than 100% blood. No one is really sure what this means, but maybe you plump up a little.
