3.1 Stats

In Drunken Dwarves 3.1, every creature has a set of stats. These are the prime determiners of what they can and cannot do. These numbers are not absolute but relative. Having 0 strength does not mean you have no strength at all; it means you are very unathletic, while 10 means your strength is nearly superhuman.

All stats, their uses and the way to calculate them (if applicable) are listed below.

Strength Strength represents bodily power and the ability to exert physical force. It determines the damage you deal with attacks, you add it to Poise, and to checks to climb, swim and grapple.

Dexterity Dexterity represents fine motor skills. You add it to attack rolls and Initiative, and to checks to hide, pick locks and disarm people.

Agility Agility represents reflexes and mobility. You add it to your Defence and Poise, and to checks to jump or balance.

Stamina Stamina represents endurance and resilience. You gain 3 HP for every point of Stamina you have. You also add it to checks to resist exhaustion, disease, etc.

Intelligence WIP Intelligence represents mental acuity, ease of learning, and alertness. You add it to Initiative, checks to resist mental attacks, checks to spot hidden objects or creatures, and knowledge checks. Additionally, at every even number (2, 4, 6, etc.) of Intelligence, you learn one skill of your choice (see 3.1 Skills).

Speed Speed is the distance in metres that you can move every round.

Hit Points (HP) Your Hit Points are equal to 3 + 3 x Stamina. They represent your ability to survive injuries. See Injury and recovery in 3.1 Basics.

Defence Your Defence is 10 + Agility (+ shield bonus). Attacks have to equal or surpass your Defence with their attack roll in order to harm you.

Poise Your Poise is either 10 + Strength or 10 + Agility, whichever is higher. Many actions have to equal or surpass your Poise with their roll to affect you.

Damage reduction (DR) Whenever you take damage, the amount is reduced by your DR, to a minimum of 0. You can get DR from armour, but certain creatures have it naturally.
