These are determined by your [[species]] and [[background]], grow as you gain experience. They can be changed by equipment, abilities, and [[mutation]]s. They may be damaged by monster abilities; if any stat is reduced to 0 or below, you will suffer [[Stat zero|severe penalties]].

 The three defensive stats are your [[armour class]] (AC), your [[evasion]] (EV), and your blocking ability ([[SH]]). Your character also has a limited reserve of [[hit points]] (HP) and [[magic points]] (Magic or MP).

-Each of your '''starting stats''' is the sum of a contribution from your [[species]] and a contribution from your [[class]]. While they do not by any means define your character, it is easier to build your character in a way that is compatible with your stats.

+Not all species have the same stat total; [[Demigod]]s have the highest stats, [[Gnoll]]s have the lowest.
 The "gain" column describes how the race automatically gains stats as they level up: a letter indicates the stat beginning with that letter can be chosen, and the number before the colon indicates the frequency of stat gains. So a Human, who would gain one Str, Int, or Dex every 4 levels, is represented by 4:SID. See [[#Gaining Attributes|Gaining Attributes]] below for further details.
