Attributes

An attribute is a piece of data (a "statistic") that describes to what extent a character in the Wizard101 Role-Play Community possesses a specific natural, in-born characteristic common to all characters in the game. That piece of data is usually an abstract number or, in some cases, a set of dice. Some Role-Play Communities use different terms to refer to an attribute, such as statistic, primary characteristic or ability. A number of Role-Play Communities like Gala Magni do not use attributes at all.
== The Nature of Attributes ==
All characters have attributes — basic physical and mental abilities. In the Wizard101 Role-Play Community each character has five ability scores that represent their most basic attributes. They are his raw talent and prowess. While a character rarely rolls a check using just an ability score, these scores, and the modifiers they create, affect nearly every aspect of a character's skills and abilities. In some Role-Play Communities, such as Yomi-no-kuni the attribute is used on its own to determine outcomes, whereas in Arda, the attribute works with a skill to affect the overall outcome.
The Character Attributes are:
* Strength ("STR") — A measure of physical strength.
* Luck ("LUC") — A measure of how lucky a character is; affects random probability.
* Intelligence ("INT") — Measures the ability to learn skills and incantations.
* Wisdom ("WIS") — Measures the ability to learn and / or use divine magic.
* Charisma ("CHA") — Measures social and leadership abilities.
Character Attributes have a natural range between 0 and 20. The actual limit on each attribute is set by the character's race.
