What each stat does

[Ratiotile]

This is what I think each stat should do. It's only slightly changed from Xenimus. The goal here is to make each stat useful to every class.

Strength: melee dmg, carry wt, bit of hp, weapon skills
Agility: AC, to-hit, walk/cast/attack speed, weapon skills
Constitution: more hp, poison resist, swim, rage
Intelligence: bonus exp, mana, most attack spells, skill points
Wisdom: mana, defense spells, heal, resists, spirit magic, buffs, detection magic

Strength should give a bit less HP than it does now, so that Constitution is more useful to fighters.

Let Agility affect casting speed so that it isn't wasted on mages.

What can I say about Consitution? Basically all it does is give HP.

Intelligence should give a bit more bonus EXP( in Xenimus it's 1 point per point in Intelligence). It should also increase the rate of skill points per level, to make it more useful all around.

Wisdom needs a little boost. Let it affect buffs and detection magic.

Both Intelligence and Wisdom should give mana. I don't really like the idea of having a primary magic stat and the other one giving no MP. We will see more balanced mages this way.

Very nice, Also since we are around this subject... Make it so whenever you cast a armor spell you see your Total Armor # turn blue and increase so you can see what exactly you got, same with str buff/speed/etc... stats turn blue if they r buffed and increase to the given amount. also have a timer on the buff icons to see how much longer you have till u need recast.

Rather than a timer, (its too precise) just have the icon begin to blink as you run out of time. And it blinks faster and faster until it goes out.

Agreed. A timer can be hard to read out of the corner of your eye. How about icons that fade, or shrink?

[JSunJShineR]

i like the blinking idea.

[Karl G.]

Icons that shrink are easier for me to code than those that fade, but whatever you guys want.

i like the blinking idea.

Its pretty intuitive too.
