Stats and what they do.

[Murasame]

I was wondering what each of the stats do for a character and if they do any bonus things for certain jobs.Not bonus as in one being more important than the other, but does it give/effect abilities in some jobs but not others.

str=how much damage is done or much can be done?
dex=accuracy of melee attacks?
vit=the amount of hp a character has
agi=accuracy of ranged attacks, does it effect evasion?
int=?
mnd=?
cha=?

vit doesn't effect your hp

Then what does it do?

STR - The strength of your character. The more STR you have, the higher you
physical attack damage will do. Needed for melee classes.

DEX - Your characters dexterity, meaning how fast and how accurate your attacks
are.

VIT - You vitality meaning how much damage you can take. The more VIT you have,
the less amount of damage you take from a normal attack.

AGI - The agility of your charcater, or how fast your character can move. The
better AGI means the more you can evade attacks and so on. May affect how
accurate you are, but I am not currently sure.

INT - Intelligence and how much your Black Magic does. Have a high amount of
this and you can blow enemies away with spells. Need a high number if you
are going to be a powerful mage.

MND - Mind affects three things and is very useful. It affects how good your
defense against magic is, determines how well you resist abnormal status,
and your White Magic power.

CHR - Charisma affects a bards songs and other charisma related attacks. For
the class abilities it may have a (C) next to it meaning that charisma
affects it.
