About the Stats
Strength affects how much damage you do in physical combat. For every level up in Strength, you also get 30 hitpoints. Dexterity affects your ability to learn new moves with each type of weapon. Each type of weapon has 4 special moves that go along with the four levels of Dexterity. Intelligence is an overall look at how well-versed you are in Magic in general. Every time you level up your Intelligence, you get +10 mana and your Magic Resistance and Spell Damage increase. Each time you cleanse a Shrine, you are given a choice to level up one of the previouly mentioned stats. The Shepard is the only class where you can never max out Str, Dex, and Int all together. However, he is the only character that can come close to maxing out in Karma because of the larger boost in the beginning. Karma just gives you a boost to your maximum mana store. You gain Karma by doing good deeds for others, and you loose it by doing bad things. You can tell when you gain Karma from doing a good deed because the game plays a special tone. This tone is the same as when you equip the Kiran Shield. It also plays a different tone when you lose Karma. I don't know of anything else that makes this sound to give as an example. You can see by this that being a good guy only makes your game much easier.
Level | Strength | Dexterity | Intelligence |
---|---|---|---|
One | Weak | Clumsy | Dim |
Two | Strong | Nimble | Smart |
Three | Powerful | Proficient | Brilliant |
Four | Heroic | Adept | Genius |
