Attributes

Every character in DragonRealms has 8 stats or 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 and strength of character.
• Discipline - mind over body and dedication.
• Wisdom - intuition and application of knowledge.
• Intelligence - mental capacity.
• Stamina - endurance and overall health.

In January 2008, Simutronics removed random stat rolls from the character creation system. The effect is that new characters start with what used to be a perfect roll. Each race automatically receives the following starting stats:

	Dwarf	Elf	Elothean	Gor'Tog	Gnome	Halfling	Human	Kaldar	Prydaen	Rakash	S'Kra Mur
Strength	10	12	12	16	4	6	10	8	10	10	8
Reflex	8	8	8	12	14	8	10	10	14	8	8
Agility	8	8	10	10	8	14	10	10	10	12	10
Charisma	10	8	10	10	10	10	10	8	8	10	10
Discipline	12	12	10	10	10	12	10	10	12	8	10
Wisdom	10	10	8	6	10	12	10	12	6	12	12
Intelligence	10	10	8	6	14	10	10	12	10	6	12
Stamina	12	12	6	14	6	8	10	10	10	14	10

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.

Increasing Stats

The TDP cost to increase an attribute is determined using the following formula:

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
Stamina	-1	+1	+2	-2	+2	-1				-2

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.
