Stat

s are numerical representations of a character's basic attributes and are their primary means of interacting with the world of Fahrul in.

Description
There are currently 7 core character stats in, as well as 3 additional defensive stats. Stats will vary greatly from character to character and will gradually increase as a character levels up. They can also be augmented or changed by a variety of means, such as by consuming items, equipping new gear, using status effects, or by certain abilities.

Core stats max out at 95.

Stat checks
As characters travel throughout Fahrul, they will use their stats to interact with objects, solve puzzles, succeed at challenges, battle enemies, and much more. Stat checks, or "rolls", govern almost every action in Fahrul, and without their proper management, an adventure can end rather quickly. Stat checks also dictate how proficient a character is with any given weapon (although proficiency is by no means a restriction on which characters can or cannot wield a weapon).

Each stat value represents the percent chance a player has to "roll" a success when testing against a particular stat. Higher stats mean more successful stat checks, which in turn results in easier battles and better rewards.

Health and vitality
All characters start with 25hp as their base health, +10% of their Vitality rounded down. This is their "Starting HP". For example, a Busker with 68 Vitality would start the game with 25 + 6.8 = 31.8 health, rounded down to 31hp.

Calculating health points
To calculate a character's base HP per level, use the following formula:

${HP = [Starting HP] + [Level] + ((10% \times [Level]) \times [Vitality])}$

The end result is then rounded down. Therefore, to find the Busker's base HP at level 3, the formula is HP = 31 + 3 + ((.10 x 3) x 68), rounded down. Thusly, the Busker's base health at level 3 would be 34 + (.3 x 68) = 54.4hp, rounded down to 54hp.

Speed and Evasion
The "Base Evasion" of a character is how much evasion they posses without any items that directly boost evasion. The base evasion is calculated as a function of speed. This means that the beginning of the game a characters starting speed determines their base evasion. However if the character increases their speed, their base evasion will also increase.

Calculating Base Evasion
When calculating the characters base evasion the following formula is employed:

$$E_{\text{base}} = \text{Max}\Bigg(\frac{\Big(\frac{[\text{Speed}]}{100}\Big)^2 - 0.1}{3}, 0\Bigg) \times 100$$

In this formula, the Max function simply makes sure that the base evasion is never negative. If it would have been negative, it is set to 0.

For example, the Blacksmith starts with 56 speed on Journeyman and Master difficulties. Thus the blacksmith's base evasion at the start of the game is: (((0.56)^2-0.1)/3)x100 = 7.12, which is rounded to 7 on the HUD.

Focus
Focus represents a currency of mental strength which each character has in varying amounts. Focus points can be spent when the player is presented with a stat check to ensure the success of a single slot roll. Multiple focus points may be spent on an action for increased odds of success.

Bonuses

 * A character with 50 or more Strength will receive +1 Armor.
 * A character with 50 or more Intelligence will receive +1 Resistance.

The trainer
The Trainer is a special encounter that can permanently boost any of the seven core stats (with the exception of luck) by +2. The exchange costs a varying amount of gold depending on a character's level and progress.

The Trainer must first be unlocked for play from the Lore Store.
