Stats

A character's stats define what a character can do in Fallen Earth. These stats can be divided into two types: base stats, whose values can be increased directly by the player, and derived stats, which gain their values from combinations of the base stats.

Primary Stats[]

There are 8 primary stats that combined describe the root characteristics of a character. Each stat has a minimum value of (character level + 10) and a maximum value of ((character level + 10) * 1.5). A stat can be increased above the minimum value (but no higher than the maximum) by spending 5 Advancement Points (APs) per stat added.

Example: A new level one character will have stats with a value of 11, which can be increased as high as 16. When that character reaches level 2, all stats will have a value of at least 12 and the new maximum will be 18. Any improvements made to stats by spending APs will remain, so that a Strength of 16 on a level 1 character will increase to 17 automatically upon reaching level 2, where it can be further increased to 18 with the expenditure of 5 more APs.

The primary stats in Fallen Earth are:
	Charisma	Your Charisma affects your Gamma and Gamma Regeneration, as well as your maximums for Empathic, Enhancement, and Social.
	Coordination	Your Coordination affects your Stamina and Stamina Regeneration, as well as your maximums for Armor Use, Dodge, Escape Artist, Group Tactics, Illumination, Melee, and Telekinesis.
	Dexterity	Your Dexterity affects your Stamina, Stamina Regeneration, and Reflexes Save, as well as your maximums for Dirty Tricks, Escape Artist, Pistol, Precision, Rifle, and Sonic Influence.
	Endurance	Your Endurance affects your Health, Health Regeneration, and Body Save, as well as your maximums for Armor Use and Patho-Transmission.
	Intelligence	Your Intelligence affects your Gamma, Gamma Regeneration, and Mind Save, as well as your maximums for First Aid, Group Tactics, Nano-Manipulation, Precision, Thermal Control, and all Tradeskills.
	Perception	Your Perception affects your Reflexes Save and helps you detect other players in PvP zones, as well as your maximums for Dirty Tricks, Dodge, First Aid, Heavy Weapons, Pistol, Rifle, Social, Suppression, and all Tradeskills.
	Strength	Your Strength affects your Health, Health Regeneration, and Body Save, as well as your maximums for Heavy Weapons, Melee, Power, and Primal.Your character's muscle power.
	Willpower	Your Willpower affects your Mind Save, as well as your maximums for Power and all Mutations.

Derived Stats[]

Derived stats further describe a character's traits, but unlike the primary stats, they cannot be directly modified by spending APs. Instead, they are determined by a combination of other stats and updated immediately as those stats change. Some of these stats are in the form of a 'pool' of points that are depleted through use or damage and replenished over time with abilities or items. The remaining attributes represent resistances or 'saves' that can mitigate or block certain negative game effects.

Pool Stats[]

The Health stat represents how much damage a character can take before becoming incapacitated. Health can be replenished using First Aid abilities, healing mutations, and medical items. The rate at which health naturally replenishes can be improved through the consumption of food items, and by certain medical items. Health is calculated with the following formula:

Health = ((Level * 3) + (Strength * 3) + (Endurance * 4))

Example: A level 10 character with a Strength of 30 and an Endurance of 25 would have ((10 * 3) + (30 * 3) + (25 * 4)) = (30 + 90 + 100) = 220 Health

The Gamma stat represents a pool that powers a character’s mutation abilities. As mutations are used, the amount of gamma available decreases. The size of the pool can be affected by hostile mutations as well as gamma manipulation items. The rate at which the pool is replenished is affected by movement (decreased rate) and some gamma manipulation items. Gamma is calculated with the following formula:

Gamma = ((Intelligence * 3) + (Charisma * 2))

Example: A character with an Intelligence of 40 and a Charisma of 25 would have ((40 * 3) + (25 * 3)) = (120 + 75) = 195 Gamma

The Stamina stat defines how much energy a character can exert before exhaustion sets in. This energy is used when a character uses a non-mutation special ability granted by an active skill. When Stamina is depleted, a character also suffers reduced speed. The rate at which stamina naturally replenishes can be improved through the consumption of beverages. Stamina is calculated with the following formula:

Stamina = ((Dexterity * 3) + (Coordination * 2))

Example: A character with a dexterity of 28 and a coordination of 26 would have ((28 * 3) + (26 * 2)) = (84 + 52) = 136 Stamina

Resistance or 'Save' Stats[]

The Body Save defines a person’s resistance to invasive special abilities, such as poisons and disease. Endurance and Strength are used to calculate Body Save.

The Mind Save is used as a saving throw against mental attacks, such as Telepathy. Intelligence and Willpower are used to calculate Mind Save.

The Reflexes Save allows characters to quickly sidestep special abilities, such as an Acid Spray. Dexterity and Perception are used to calculate Reflexes Save.
