Attributes are the inherent characteristics of each character in Asheron's Call. All players, NPCs, and enemies have attributes. Attributes are divided into two categories: primary and secondary. There are six primary attributes: strength, endurance, coordination, quickness, focus, and self. The primary attributes are used to derive the base value of secondary attributes and most skills. Like skills, attributes can be raised by applying earned experience.

  • Primary attributes can be raised a maximum of 190 points.
  • Secondary attributes can be raised a maximum of 196 points.
  • Augmentation Gems can be used to gain an additional 50 points for primary attributes. but cannot pass 100 innate.

Secondary Attributes

Health

Starting health is determined by base Endurance at creation. Health can be raised directly as well as indirectly by raising Endurance. Health regains slowly over time, faster if crouching, even faster if laying down. Augmentation Gems can double and triple the rate of regeneration when laying down. Health can be restored with Life Magic, with Healing Kits and Healing (Skill), and with various potions and some foods. Maximum unbuffed health is 341 and the current theoretical maximum is 652.7(?).

Stamina

Starting stamina is determined by base Endurance at creation. Stamina can be raised directly as well as indirectly by raising Endurance (one point of Stamina per point of Endurance). Stamina regains slowly over time, very slowly in combat mode, decently if in peace mode (even if running!), faster if crouching (x2), even faster if laying down (x3). Augmentation Gems can double and triple the rate of regeneration when laying down (stacking). Stamina can be restored with Life Magic and with various potions and some foods. Of these, loot Philtres are generally the best. Maximum unbuffed Stamina is ?? and the current theoretical maximum is ??.

Stamina is used in the following ways:

  • When Healing yourself or others (5 health = 1 stamina)
  • When attacking in melee and ranged combat depending on weapon burden (BU) and the power/accuracy bar settings (Mid power bar: 700 bu = +1 stamina, 1200 = +2 stamina, and 1600 = +3 stamina). These amounts are increased to double at Full Power and to 1/2 at minimum power (minimum of 1 stamina per attack).
  • When evading or being hit (1 stamina per attack)
  • In the use of Stamina to Mana and Stamina to Health spells.

When stamina drops to 0, your melee and missile defenses also drop to 0 and you will be incapable of attacking. In addition, you will suffer a -50% penalty to your weapon skill. Creatures are also effected by these penalties.

The Endurance attribute decreases the amount of stamina lost as well as increasing your regeneration rate. Higher maximum Stamina also increases regeneration rates.

Other Attributes

Each character has natural resistances, drain resistances, and regeneration bonuses that affected by the primary attributes, strength and endurance. Information for these attributes are listed on the character information panel.

The 5 categories for the endurance benefits are, in order from lowest benefit to highest: Poor, Mediocre, Hardy, Resilient, and Indomitable, with each range of benefits divided up equally amongst the 5 (e.g. Poor describes having anywhere from 1-10% resistance against drain health attacks, etc.).

Natural Resistances

The combination of the strength and endurance attributes (the two are roughly of equivalent importance) allows one to have a level of "natural resistances" to the 7 damage types. This caps out at a 50% resistance (the equivalent to level 5 life prots) to these damage types. This resistance is not additive to life protections: higher level life protections will overwrite these natural resistances, although life vulns will take these natural resistances into account, if the player does not have a higher level life protection cast upon them.

For example, a player will not get a free protective bonus from natural resistances if they have both Prot 7 and Vuln 7 cast upon them. The Prot and Vuln will cancel each other out, and since the Prot has overwritten the natural resistances, there will be no resistance bonus.

You can further increase your natural resistances with spells and Augmentation Gems.

Fire Fire Protection (Spell) Fire Vulnerability (Spell) Fiery Enhancement
Cold Cold Protection (Spell) Cold Vulnerability (Spell) Icy Enhancement

Drain Resistances

The combination of strength and endurance (the two are roughly of equivalent importance) allows one to partially resist drain health/stamina/mana and harm attacks (not including life transfer spells), up to a maximum of roughly 50%.

Regeneration Bonus

Health Regeneration

The combination of strength and endurance (with endurance being more important) allows one to regenerate hit points at a faster rate the higher one's endurance is. This bonus is in addition to any regeneration spells one may have placed upon themselves. This regeneration bonus caps at around 110%.

Stamina Regeneration

The higher a player's Endurance, the less stamina one uses while attacking. This benefit is tied to Endurance only, and it caps out at around 50% less stamina used per attack. The minimum stamina used per attack remains one.

Endurance will also make it less likely that you use a point of stamina to successfully evade a missile or melee attack. A player is required to have Melee Defense for melee attacks or Missile Defense for missile attacks trained or specialized in order for this specific ability to work. This benefit is tied to Endurance only, and it caps out at around a 75% chance to avoid losing a point of stamina per successful evasion.
