Attributes

Characters who engage in combat with either creatures or other players have different attributes that affect how combat goes. These attributes vary from each character as class, race, and level all influence attributes and the amount of **Attribute Points [AP]** that are invested into each.

Starting at Level 1, all characters have 1 AP in each attribute by default. These default AP investments give the player their base attribute stats and cannot be changed. Certain races begin with additional AP in different attributes. The AP given as a Race bonus works the same as the base stats and cannot be changed.

For the initial distribution of AP, players are given 20 Attribute Points to invest in the attributes they so desire. Though given 20 AP, initial Attribute Distributions cannot surpass the tenth point per attribute; players may have up to ten points in any attribute at once, including Default AP and Race AP bonuses.

With each level up, a player gains one Attribute Point. These attribute points can be invested upon leveling, or they can be saved for a player to distribute multiple AP at one time. Characters will have a total of 82 invested Attribute Points when they reach level 50.

Players are also subjected to Sanity. More information about Sanity can be found below.

## Damage Types

For the distribution of each 10% of resist, it's best to think about which types of damage your character may encounter.

* **Physical**Physical damage includes the damage received from blunt force, slashing, piercing, or any other damage that can be inflicted without the use of Magic and involves physical contact.
* **Arcane**Magical damage includes the damage received from arcane spells, the elements, and other forces that do not require a physical connection to deal damage.
* **Bleed**Damage received over time from an open, untreated wound.
* **Poison**Damage received over time from the ingestion of a toxic substance.
* **Stun**A chance regarding being stunned, staggered, or blinded.

## Sanity

A character’s sanity can change from situation to situation. A character's sanity stat represents their ability to think and act rationally.

The benefit of having a full sanity includes an added Stun resistance of 5%. However, if a player’s sanity drops to 0, a player may accidentally start to attack their allies, thinking that they are their foes. They may also injure themselves, and they may cause a small drain on their allies’ sanity.

Players will experience an increase in their sanity when encountering a creature that can be considered Pleasant. On the other hand, players will experience a decrease in their sanity when encountering a creature that can be considered Horrifying.

Mage characters will see an additional decrease in sanity when they use forbidden magic.

The calculation of a character’s sanity varies among Class Trees:

* **Warrior**    Total number of AP invested among STR, END, VIT, and LCK
* **Mage**      Total number of AP invested among PER, WIL, ARC, and LCK
* **Rogue**     Total number of AP invested among SPD, AGL, PER, and LCK
