Strength redirects here. For the spell with the same name, see Strength Spell.

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:

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.
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.
Perception (PER) Eyesight, hearing, smell... It helps in detecting hidden things and in taking aim.
Intelligence (INT) Memory and abstract reasoning. A wizard's best friend.
Wisdom (WIS) Common sense. It affects clerical spells and herblore.
Willpower (WIL) Iron nerves can help when facing hostile magic, when trying to force your will onto others, and when performing strenuous activities.
