heh, i know this is gonna sound like an extremely dumb question, but what does each stat do?

I know Strength increase weight allowance, does it increade dmg as well?

Dexterity increases AC, does it increase attacks per round as well?

Constitution increases your hp, what else?

Intelligence increases wizards spell slots, anything else?

Wisdom increases preist spell slots?

Charisma, mmm.. not sure what this does... hehe


Also, should i leave wisdom on minimum stats for a kensai>mage dual class?

Yes, and it also improves your THACO if it is high enough.

No, but it improves your accuracy with missile weapons.

Constitution increases your hp, what else?

Your % chance of resurrection success( assuming you are playing on Core rules and above).

Intelligence increases wizards spell slots, anything else?

*dayt* Error detected, INT does not affect spell slots. It allows Mages to scribe/know a certain number of spells per spell level. High INT gives you a lore bonus as well.

Wisdom increases preist spell slots?

Yes, and high WIS gives you a bonus to lore and a bonus to your saving throws against mental spells.

Charisma, mmm.. not sure what this does... hehe

Reduce prices in shops, affects one NPC in the game.

Also, should i leave wisdom on minimum stats for a kensai>mage dual class?

Give him 10 to avoid any penalties.<hr></blockquote>

thanx for the quick reply [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well.... Strength Increases ur Chances to hit and Damage once it gets over a certain point...
Dexterity increases AC and also to hit of Missle weapons, and increases some theif skills slightly...
Constitution increases hp per level and thats about it I think, not sure bout it though....
Intelligence increases the amount of spells a wizard may learn and also increases the amount of things u can say (e.g. when talking to Soulafin and he asks if u know what the devourers are u can only say Otyughs??? if u have under 10 Int.) and it also increases the chance of successfully scribing a scroll.
Wisdon increases Lore (1x bonus at start) and helps priests somehow.
& lastly Charisma increases (or decreases) Npc Reaction... and I heard somewhere it improves prices... though I dont think that is true.

If you have low CHA. If your CHA is high, it decreases prices. ;)

hmm... I thought that was only ur Rep??????

Both affect prices.

i tested a 5 charisma half orc and a 16 charisma mage and there is a diffrence. how much are prices affected by high charisma though cos i dunno.

<font color="lightgreen"> I dont think Charisma does affect prices. Not in BG2 at least. I have heard that it does in BG1, and im sure that it does in IWD, but i dont think so in BG2. Ill email someone wholl know tommorow. That way we will get a final answer on this matter. Im going to ask the overseer of black isle studios forums. s/he is an identitiy used by many BIS staff, and thus will know all the grotty detailsy of all the games made by Black Isle Studios. </font>
