Talk:Characteristics

Okay, I've been making charcoal piles now for a couple of hours and i see advances in both Mind Logic and in Soul Strength - but absolutely *none* in Body Strength as the table currently stipulates for coal-making. I'm going to assume that something has changed and that these are now the correct stats. Obviously, if I'm missing something, please undo my change. --Paola 04:24, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

There aren't any smithing skills in the table, does anyone know what characteristics they use and could fill it in? Robert 11:03, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Could somebody please put the following into the table I started, I'm a bit confused with how Wiki tables work. :? (This is cleaned up from what Playtimeover posted here, I'm assuming that 'stm' refers to mind strength? --Lain Iwakura 14:38, 13 May 2006 (CDT)

Skill..............Characteristic(s) affected.

As there is no such thing as 'Mind Strength', I assumed it was Body Stamina. - Manny

every skill can now be found in Shadows Skill guide can someone make that list in a 2 collum table?(nr1 with the skill and nr2 with all the characteristics) ty - shadow

Deprecated/New information

• "Having higher stamina means you can take more damage before death"
  • That is no longer the case, is it? Everyone dies at 100 dmg.
• Body Control:
  • There should be something about the ability to ride. Am I recalling correctly that you need 21 to ride a horse? What about other mounts: does riding them require more/less body control?

The stamina thing is still true. Damage calculations take into account body stamina. Someone with 20 bodystamina would have a bigger damage wound then someone with 50 body stamina from the same hit.

I've edited body control to show riding, it's specified more on the body control page itself. --Manny 10:39, 8 September 2009 (CDT)
