Stat

s are a character's primary means of interacting with the world in the game.

Description
There are currently 7 base 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.

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.

Vitality and health
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:

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

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.
