Base Vital Statistics
When creating your character you begin with the Base Vital Statistics for your Species. From there your Origin Core selection will further increase your Base Vital Stats. Certain Equipment, Items, Temporary Buffs, and Enchantments may also adjust your Base Vital Stats. Each of the Vital Stats have a Hard Maximum which can not be exceeded by any means.
The Importance of Attributes
While here you’ll learn what Attributes do for everyone. As you dive deeper into the game, you’ll find many applications for each attribute. Some examples may include how Awareness increases healing potency for some actions, and how Strength or Agility may affect some kinds of physical damage.
Primary Vital Statistics
The list of Vital Statistics is short.

Increasing Vital Attributes
Your Species determines your Base Vital Statistics.
Your choice Origin Core provides flat adjustments to the Primary Vital Attributes.
These initial values are derived from the collection of Actions and Effects granted to our Species and Origin Core.
As you gain Potential and spend it unlocking Actions and Effects, the Actions and Effects include adjustments to your Base Vital Statistics.
Unlockable Attributes
There are provisions for additional attributes and resources which become unlocked due to acquiring certain effects. These unlockable attributes are usually thematic and often specific to the effect which unlocked them.
Tips for Tracking
Since many of our Actions and Effects use percentages of our Attributes, it is generally good practice to keep a quick reference to the percent totals on our Attributes Page. Knowing what 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 20%, 30% or any other percentages our actions use speed up our engagements so we can do less thinking about the math and more thinking about the action.
