Attributes & Derived Stats

Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence feed the character sheet through a shared diminishing-returns formula.

Effective attribute formula

$$A_{\text{effective}} = \frac{A_{\text{raw}}} {1 + A_{\text{raw}} / 100}$$

Raw attribute	Effective value
10	9.1
25	20
50	33.3
100	50
200	66.7
500	83.3

Each additional raw point still helps, but the amount of effective value gained per point declines as the total rises.

Strength

Each point of effective Strength grants:

• $2.5$ maximum life;
• $0.1$ life regeneration per second;
• $0.25$ added physical damage.

Strength also satisfies the requirements of strength-aligned weapons and armour.

Dexterity

Each point of effective Dexterity grants:

• $3$ evasion;
• $3$ accuracy;
• $0.1\%$ increased attack speed;
• $0.5\%$ critical strike damage.

Dexterity supports fast attack builds, projectile weapons, evasion bases, and critical scaling.

Intelligence

Each point of effective Intelligence grants:

• $3$ maximum mana;
• $1.5$ maximum energy shield;
• $0.3\%$ increased mana regeneration.

Intelligence supports spells, caster weapons, energy-shield bases, and sustained mana use.

Attribute requirements

Equipment bases define a starting requirement and an amount added per item level. Attribute requirement reduction can lower Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence requirements by up to 50%, but it never reduces the level requirement.

All required attributes are checked when an item is equipped. Removing another item can reduce attributes enough to make a replacement invalid, so compare the complete resulting loadout.

Archetypes and later growth

An archetype determines starting attributes. Later attribute growth comes from equipment and Passive Disciplines, not automatic points granted every level.
