ABILITIES, BASE ABILITIES, STATISTICS, STATS

"Statistics" are a set of numbers that describes your character. Statistics may depend on a character's level, race, skills practiced, age, and other factors.

Most statistics depend on a character's base abilities (a.k.a. "stats"):

Strength	STR	Raw physical power. Among other things, it affects your ability to cause damage in melee, and it sets a limit to how much you can carry.
Intelligence	INT	Memory and abstract reasoning. A wizard's best friend.
Wisdom	WIS	Common sense. It affects clerical spells and herblore.
Dexterity	DEX	Useful to defend oneself against non-magical damage, and to perform precision tasks.
Constitution	CON	Health and endurance. A must for whoever plans to spend much time fighting.
Willpower	WIL	Iron nerves can help when facing hostile magic, when trying to force your will onto others, and when performing strenuous activities.
Perception	PER	Eyesight, hearing, smell… It helps in detecting hidden things and in taking aim.

Your current abilities can be seen using info.

Unmodified abilities (info %b) are the abilities your character has before any age, training, and other temporary effects from spells, wounds, etc.

Unaffected abilities (info %G) are the abilities your character has counting any age and training effects, but before effects from spells, wounds, etc.

Reference abilities (info %B) are the abilities set on character creation or full reroll, prior to any limited reroll, age, training, or any other effect.

What is MUME?

MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a multiplayer text-based online game based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth during the epic wars of the late Third Age between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely at no cost and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
