A positive number means an increase in the cost to raise a stat and a negative number means a decrease.


So for example: the cost to raise strength from 20 to 21 for a Gor'Tog character is: (20 x 3) + (-3 x 20 / 2) = 30.

Every character in DragonRealms has 8 statistics (attributes) which factor into almost everything that character does from combat to crafting:

  • Strength - brute physical power.
  • Reflex - ability to react quickly.
  • Agility - skill at controlling one's body.
  • Charisma - personality, strength of character, and appearance.
  • Discipline - mind over body and dedication.
  • Wisdom - intuition and application of knowledge.
  • Intelligence - mental capacity.
  • Stamina - endurance and overall health.

Stats are initally chosen at character generation in the Hall of Eleven Races. By touching the statues, stats are randomly chosen with a maximum determined by racial bonuses.

After character generation the only way to increase stats is by spending TDPs. A character is given 600 TDPs to start. From then on TDPs are gained either by gaining circles or gaining skills.

The racial TDP bonuses are listed in the following chart:

Dwarf Elf Elothean Gor'Tog Gnome Halfling Human Kaldar Prydaen Rakash S'Kra Mur
Strength +1 +1 -3 +3 +2 -1 -1
Reflex +1 -1 -1 +1 -2 -1 -2 -1 -1
Agility +1 -1 -1 -2 +1
Charisma -1 -1 -1
Discipline -1 +1 +1 +1 -1
Wisdom -1 +2 +1 +1 +2 +1 +1
Intelligence -1 +2 -2 +1 +2 +1

A positive number means an increase in the cost to raise a stat and a negative number means a decrease.


So for example: the cost to raise strength from 20 to 21 for a Gor'Tog character is: (20 x 3) + (-3 x 20 / 2) = 30.
