== Description ==
Press F2 to see your characteristics. Characteristics help when you perform actions depending on them. When a new character is created all characteristics start at 19.5. Like skills they are limited to 20 if you don't have [[premium]] time. Points in characteristics are gained much more slowly than those in [[skills]]. On PVE: If a character was once premium and then loses premium, their characteristic skills will drop down to 30 (or remain unchanged if lower than 30); however, you can not raise them further until becoming premium again. On PVP: Characteristics remain capped at 20. Crossing from PVE to PVP will enforce this cap immediately.
* Body
** [[Body strength]] - High strength allows you to carry more, take less damage from hits, and do more damage in fighting and destroying walls.
