Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

Character Stats

Alcryst is a raw, passionate world and in such ambition and greed, violence takes root. All fighting is centered around one deciding factor: Stats. They are incorporated in all accounts, used for both horses and humans, and there are many ways to increase your stats. There are opportunities to purchase higher levels or to upgrade through interactive IC boards.

It is very important to realize that the Margins and Ranges will change as the site grows.

[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Definitions]

Constitution is your overall health. It's not the total sum of your individual stats; rather, it's how fit you are in both body and mind. It weighs your wellness; if you're sick, diseased, or otherwise cursed, you'll have a lower Constitution. It's sort of your general capacity, whereas the other stats are specific capacities. Constitution governs and thus impacts all other stats. It is considered the most influential and important stat. If you have an extremely high Endurance stat, for example, but a very low Constitution, your stamina will be affected negatively despite the high Endurance. No matter how high your other stats are, a low Constitution will render you all but useless.
Combat is your close range fighting ability, also called melee. This is how well you can fight with short-range weapons, such as daggers, swords, axes, etc., along with physical fighting. Combat affects your instinct, experience, reflexes, and ability, but keep in mind that how fast you can move the weapon and how much force your blows have would depend on your Strength and Agility.
Ranged is your distanced fighting ability. This is how well you can fight with far-ranged weapons, such as spears, throwing daggers, bows, etc., along with most magic Powers. Ranged affects your instinct, experience, reflexes, and ability, but keep in mind that how far you can throw your weapon, how much force it has, and how fast you can throw it depends on your Strength and Agility.
Strength is the force in your movements. This is how hard you can hit, how much you can lift, how much you can push or pull, and this also affects some of the other stats, such as Ranged and Combat. You must have a high Strength value to be muscular.
Agility is the nimbleness in your movements and your how responsive your instincts are. It's how fast you react along with how fast you can react. From turning quickly to catching something, Agility is evident in every action. Agility and Speed are greatly tied together, as you need swiftness to move fast but you need Agility to react fast.
Stealth is the silence with which you move. How quiet you walk, how well you blend into the shadows, how still you can hold yourself, all of it is controlled by the limit of your Stealth. The higher the stat, the less likely you will be detected, and those with an extremely high stat may find they can walk into a room in broad daylight with little attention drawn to themselves. You must have a high Stealth value to be graceful.
Endurance is how long you can do any physical activity. From walking to fighting, the length that you can persist is determined by your stamina. If you have a low Endurance, you run out of breath fast and experience muscle burn sooner; you will have to cease the action quicker than if you had a higher Endurance. As you tire, it begins to influence your other stats--for example, even if you have a high Strength value, as you become exerted, you become weaker.
Speed is how fast you can travel. Although how fast you can react or turn is determined by your Agility and how long you can move for is decided by your Endurance, how fast you move in general is controlled by your Speed. For example, the higher your Speed, the swifter you can run from point A to point B.

[/PTab={font-weight: normal; background-color:#75664e;}]

[PTab=Margins]

The Difference Margins are how many numbers separate two characters' Stats and help you understand how it will impact your interaction. For example, your character may have a Speed stat of 10 and another character may have a Speed stat of 18--how much difference is there in your capabilities, then? This chart explains how large the gap must be to begin affecting your interaction and to what level it would influence.
Keep in mind that these are the general gaps but that every increase in a single number grants advantage. Someone who is only 1 integer above you will have the upperhand; these particular gaps are used to simply give you something to reference.
#-# (this represents how many numbers separate the two characters)

This gap is (this word demonstrates how obvious the difference is in every interaction) and is (this word demonstrates how much difficulty the disadvantaged character would have in beating the advantaged character through more creative attacks, etc.) to overcome.

0-4

This gap is nearly undetectable and is easy to overcome.

5-10

This gap is noticeable and moderately easy to overcome.

11-24

This gap is apparent and can be difficult to overcome.

25-40

This gap is blatant and is very difficult to overcome.

41-59

This gap is dominating and is almost impossible to overcome.

60-100

This gap is overwhelming and is almost unimaginable to overcome.

101+

This gap is crushing and is impossible to overcome.

[/PTab={font-weight: normal; background-color:#75664e;}]

[PTab=Ranges]

Average Ranges distinguish what number is considered a "high," "normal," and "low" amount of stats. Keep in mind these Averages are constantly changing. As the highest-stat character increases, so will the ranges. The below values will be updated as the Averages change on Alcryst. Please understand that the range you fall within does not define your character's worth; those in a higher range have worked very hard for their stats, as nothing can be gained without effort, expense, and experience. When you first begin, you will be low, where we all start. It will take time and energy to ascend, but if you try, and try hard, you will. It is equal opportunity to all.
Very Low

Middle Low

potential: let characters pick 1 stat that they can have a 50-stat higher limit in when they create the character. If we feel horses are still too disadvantaged at the end of all changes, it can be only horses that get to pick this extra high limit stat. If they feel equal enough, horses and humans can both pick one. It would be marked in their mini-profile under their stats in a horizontal cell and would have a record in Clandestine, perhaps, but definitely have a field in their biography like preset stats.

------

Make max caps different based on species. Each has a total of 1650. For, I forget their name, the two-species contribution feature that is being currently added, they can have some sort of in-between for the two variation.

Humans:

Constitution 200
Combat 250
Ranged 250
Strength 150
Agility 250
Stealth 250
Endurance 150
Speed 150

Horses:

Constitution 250
Combat 200
Ranged 150
Strength 250
Agility 150
Stealth 150
Endurance 250
Speed 250
^^ total is 1,650 for horses right now. if that changes, then update the rules for rebirth because it currently uses it as criteria and mentions the total capacity
if the total changes, I also need to update milestone badges gold and silver qualifications

stealth stat affects lock picking (just an idea for how to help flesh these out beyond the obvious) also how still you can be to blend in better (could swear they were part of the very wall they lean against) can even silence their body so people with insane perception/magic can't hear them, i.e. no pulse or breathing or blinking. how well you can see in the dark - it's like seeing in broad daylight in even the darkest possible areas. Flexibility.

combat - knowledge of where to hit in anatomy and such for the best effect, reflexes, instinct

agility - perception, observation, subconscious instinct and peripherals. Notice the tiniest movement, far away, directly behind you. Notice the smallest change in expression, temperature, lighting, everything. It can be uncanny and feel like magic in itself. Notice the smallest differences in things (something was even slightly touched in your room, an imposter has a slightly unusual twang in their voice, smoke from miles away)

endurance - ability to withstand pain and extreme conditions (i.e. super hot, super cold), remove need to sleep or eat or drink or breathe, see through even the most blinding lights, heal faster (perhaps alter some ailment healing shit so you heal faster with a higher stat?)

strength

ranged - see better; see farther and see things that are smaller or more invisible normally, like dust particles in the air or the air puffing from a horse's nostrils. detect wind currents/patterns, incoming weather, temperature changes, and anything else that may affect how something ranged will aim. increased intuition in where a target may be about to move to, like good anticipation senses.

speed

constitution - less likely to become sick, possibly totally immune to illness (Unless the roleplayer wants it) at a high enough level.
