Attributes

Every character in DragonRealms has eight stats or attributes which factor into almost everything that character does from combat to crafting:

• Strength - Strength affects your roundtimes with weapons, how hard you hit, how much you can carry, It contributes to offensive Power and Fear contests and defensive Fortitude contests, among other things.
• Reflex - Reflex improves your skill at evading. It contributes to defensive Reflex contests, among other things.
• Agility - Agility helps you hit with weapons, improves manual tasks such as skinning or disarming. It contributes to defensive Reflex contests, among other things.
• Charisma - Charisma helps you with performances, bargaining with shopkeepers, and extends your spirit health (and therefore the time it takes before you auto-depart after dying. It contributes to offensive Spirit, Charm, and Fear contests, among other things.
• Discipline - Discipline increases the accuracy of damaging spells and improves the size of your experience pools. It contributes to offensive Mind, Magic, Charm, and Fear contests and defensive Fortitude and Will contests, among other things.
• Wisdom - Wisdom increases the speed at which your experience turns into real ranks and increases magical spell damage. It contributes to offensive Mind, Magic, and Spirit contests and defensive Will contests, among other things.
• Intelligence - Intelligence improves the size of your experience pools and increases magical spell damage. It contributes to offensive Mind, Magic, Spirit, and Charm contests and defensive Reflex and Will contests, among other things.
• Stamina - Stamina increases the amount of damage your body can take and improves your capacity for carrying things. It contrubutes to offensive Power contests and defensive Fortitude contests, among other things.

The STRENGTH, REFLEX, AGILITY, CHARISMA, DISCIPLINE, WISDOM, INTELLIGENCE, and STAMINA commands can be used in-game to provide useful information about each attribute.

Starting Stats

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:

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

Racial Bonuses

The racial TDP bonuses and penalties are listed in the following chart:

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

A negative number indicates a decrease in the cost to train and is therefore a bonus. A positive number indicates an increase in the cost to train and is therefore a penalty.

So for example: the cost to raise strength from 21 to 22 for a Gor'Tog character is: (21 x 3) + (-3 x (21 / 2)) = 33.

As with many other systems in the game, integer math is used for this calculation. 21 / 2 results in 10.

TDP Project

The TDP PROJECT command helps you determine how many TDPs are required to reach a certain level in an attribute. To use TDP PROJECT, please type TDP PROJECT [attribute] [goal]. The goal must be greater than your current attribute.

Example: tdp project wisdom 80

Stat Requirements for Joining Guilds

In addition to the requirements below, a guildleader may not allow you to join if any of your stats are below 8. (This may be an issue for the following races: Gnomes, Elotheans, Gor'Togs, Halflings, Prydaen, Rakash.) If your stats are too low, you can spend TDPs to train them. Type DIR [STAT] for directions.

Guild	Stat1	Stat2	Stat3
Barbarian	strength: 10	stamina: 9
Bard	stamina: 8	agility: 8	charisma: 8
Cleric	intelligence: 8	wisdom: 8
Empath	stamina: 10	intelligence: 9	wisdom: 9
Moon Mage	wisdom: 9	intelligence: 8
Paladin	strength: 9	charisma: 8
Ranger	strength: 8	stamina: 8	agility: 8
Thief	agility: 9	reflex: 9	stamina: 8
Trader	intelligence: 9	wisdom: 9	charisma: 9
Warrior Mage	intelligence: 9	wisdom: 9

TDP cost formulas for attributes 100 and below

Note: The TDP formulas below do not directly correlate with the tables below. There are errors that develop with odd racial modifiers (-3,-1,1,3). These errors never exceed half of one TDP, and balance out as a character progresses up each attribute.

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

Or, in a more concise form:

If you would like to calculate the TDP cost of raising a stat from one value to the next (say from 60 to 75), The following formula may be helpful:

Using this formula, the cost for a human to raise their strength from 60 to 75 would be (60+75-1)*(75-60)*(6+0)/4 = 3015 TDPs

For a Gor Tog to make the same advancement, they would require roughly 1507 TDPs (give or take one TDP)

A precise version of the TDP formula would be one that could take into account errors caused by odd racial TDP modifiers. Such errors only manifest when the current attribute is also odd, and produce an alternating negative and positive error of 0.5. Such a formula is as follows:

TDP cost to Train Table

The following table shows how much TDPs it costs to train to a particular stat, for all racial bonuses.

Proportional Attribute Training Table

The following table is a table of stat values, varying TDP cost and racial bonuses. It is meant as a reference for efficient proportional training. For example, a Gor'Tog investing proportionally at 60 TDPS would have 40 Strength, 30 Stamina, 20 (Agility, Charisma, and Discipline), 17 Reflex, and 15 (Wisdom and Intelligence).
