STATS

Your character's performance in and out of combat is determined by a wide range of stats. These include basic health and mana pools, regeneration rates, offensive and defensive combat modifiers, and core attributes like strength and intelligence.

The source of these stats varies. You will get some core stats and core pools like hp just from being alive, and they will increase along with your level. Some stats like AC may purely come from worn item bonuses, alternate advancement skills and spell bonuses.

This help file explains the meaning of each base stat displayed on your character sheet.
