This will usually catch the enemy by surprise. " - Albert Perez 32 33 Strength (ST): Raw physical strength. The ability to lift weights, have stronger punches, carry more equipment and use larger weapons. If you want big, physical characters, choose Strength. Strength is the most important of all statistics. Perception (PE): The ability to notice things. Perception affects ranged weapon distance and the ability to sense things about the world. If you want characters that can act as snipers, choose Perception. Actually, Perception is the most important of all statistics. Endurance (EN): The ability to withstand punishment and physical exertion. A high EN will let characters survive where other weaker people would have to stop. If you want to survive battle, choose Endurance. Of all the statistics, Endurance is the most important. Charisma (CH): A combination of looks, charm and leadership skills. Characters with high Charisma are better natural leaders and, with experience, can influence their fellow squadmates to perform better. Charisma also affects the ability to barter. Charisma is naturally the most important of all statistics. Intelligence (IN): Mental strength and abilities. The higher the IN, the more skills that can be learned. Since skills determine how good a character can perform, Intelligence is the most important statistic. Agility (AG): Speed, dexterity and the ability to manipulate small objects.
