Legacy:Attributes

Attributes affect many aspects of your character, and are increased by gaining Food Event Points (FEPs).  See the FEP Table for a list of all foods and their FEPs.

Low-tier and High-tier food refers to the ease of acquiring such foods, rather than the FEPs they provide. Low Tier foods are those available to players without access to clay or metal.

Strength

• Affects damage inflicted by melee weapons or unarmed attacks.
• Affects your ability to destroy objects, by (Adventuring -> Destroy) or using a Battering Ram. Stone axe adds 1 damage and a Pickaxe adds 2 damage. Your damage is calculated by sqrt(Strength).
• In conjunction with Smithing, affects the quality of objects crafted with Metal Working and Steelmaking.

Example low-tier Strength food: Roasted Boar Meat, Pumpkin Flesh, Ant Soldiers, Roasted Brill

Example high-tier Strength food: Midnight Blue Cheese, Brodgar Blue Cheese, Big Bear Banger

Agility

• Affects Travel Weariness capacity.
• Decrease enemy minimum ranged damage against their perception
• Having higher agility than your opponent decreases your attack cooldowns in close combat, and increases the opponents attack cooldowns by the same amount.

Example low-tier Agility foods: Roasted Rabbit Meat

Example high-tier Agility food: Ring of Brodgar (Baking), Delicious Deer Dog

Intelligence

• Affects your authority gain in conjunction with Charisma.
• In conjunction with Stealth, determines the visibility and quantity of the scents you leave behind when you commit criminal acts.
• Affects your attention limit, thus determining the maximum amount of curiositys you can study.
