STATS (225)

Stats can be improved through training, gear, and other magical affects.
Stat powers are judged on the following scale, from strongest to weakest:
   
Strength     Intelligence    Wisdom      Dexterity    Const.     Charisma
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Titanic      Genius          Profound    Deft         Vigorous   Enchanting
Herculean    Brilliant       Sagacious   Quick        Hearty     Disarming
Strong       Genius          Wise        Dextrous     Healthy    Charismatic
Average      Intelligent     Average     Average      Average    Average      
Weak         Average         Dim         Clumsy       Weak       Repulsive
Infantile    Dim             Foolish     Hopeless     Sickly     Despised
             Incompetent     

You cannot raise your stats above their racial limits through magical means
(items and/or spells).  Anything which would have raised your stats beyond
their racial limit will still help offset any negative affects you might
encounter.  For example, if your strength is at its racial maximum of 20
and you wear +4 strength clothes, your strength is still 20. However, if
something were to affect you by -4 strength, your strength is still 20.

When you advance a level, your character is improved by the better of your
natural stats or your adjusted ones. For example, if your CON is naturally
at 13, but you have increased it to 25 through magical gear or spells, your
character will improve as though your CON were naturally 25. Or if your WIS
is naturally 20, but your adjusted WIS is 14, you improve using the 20.

If your natural CON falls to 3, your character will die permanently.

'Max stats' are listed in the helpfile for each race. These are your racial 
limits and are not the same as what you can initially receive during the 
character creation process.

The stats given during the character creation process are never fully maxed
out across all the traits and re-rolling those stats just reallocates the
points from one stat into another.

You can TRAIN your stats up with training sessions.
