Notes

  • Primary Stat(s): These are the most critical attributes that determine the success of the action.
  • Secondary Stat(s): These stats may influence the action's outcome but are less critical than the primary stats.
  • Modifiers: Depending on in-game conditions or items, certain actions may receive bonuses or penalties.

This list is not exhaustive and can be expanded as the game design evolves. Admins and Owners have the flexibility to adjust the importance of stats for each action or introduce new actions as needed.
