Each of the numbers rolled for a character represents a physical or mental aspect of his or her person. IQ is a stat (intelligence quotient), AG is a stat (agility), etc. Following are descriptions of all the character stats:
- IQ (Intelligence Quotient)
How smart an individual is. More appropriately, this is related to book smarts. A smarter character will have more skills, whereas the less intelligent will not be as schooled.
- WP (Will Power)
The classic mental constitution. How steadfast a person is to their ideas, beliefs, etc. Self control. Will Power effects one's resistance to mental attack; a high WP will make one highly resistant to mind control and mental trickery, whereas a low WP means the character is likely to be easily overwhelmed by an assault on their mind.
- IN (Intuition)
Whereas IQ is book smarts, Intuition is street smarts. Taking good guesses. Gut feelings. Intuition directly influences magical aptitude in a character: high IN means more spells and a better chance of casting spells you do not know, whereas a low IN means fewer spells and less chance of casting unknown magics.
- ST (Strength)
Raw physical power. Muscles. The ability to lift weight and inflict damage. Very strong characters will be rewarded with extra damage to their physical blows, while weak characters will deal less damage. A character can lift/throw up to 30 lbs for every point of strength.
- DU (Durability)
How sturdy a character is, physically speaking. Whether you can take a licking and keep on ticking, or if you've got a glass jaw. A high DU will result in extra hit points as well as taking less damage. A low DU means that you will have fewer hit points, and you will take more damage whenever you are hurt.
- AG (Agility)
Litheness. Reflexes, nimbleness. The ability to move quickly and with grace and control. A high AG is rewarded with a higher roll for Hit/Avoid/Deflect (more popularly known as Strike/Dodge/Parry). A low AG will result in a lower H.A.D.
- SP (Speed)
How fast you can run. Your character's maximum speed is roughly equivalent to 1 meter per second for every point of speed.
