Player Statistics - dredmor-com/dungeons-of-dredmor GitHub Wiki
This page contains information regarding statistics and how they're calculated. This is important to balance skills and to take in mind how player characters can evolve over time.
There are six primary stats: Burliness, Sagacity, Nimbleness, Caddishness, Savvy and Stubborness. Each affects multiple secondary stats differently, so granting bonuses or inflicting penalties to these stats should be taken into careful consideration.

There are 24 secondary statistics. Generally, it is beter to alter secondary stats than primary ones so you can give specific bonuses rather than broader ones that may or may not have the intended effect you desire. Besides, these attributes below, secondaryScale can use IDs 24, 25 and 26 to scale based off of Warrior, Wizard and Rogue levels, respectively. This is an unintended consequence of the character data layout and may break with future versions.
