Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Breakdown on the statpoints please.

I would really appreciate a full breakdown on the statpoints if anyone knows. I want to know what each one does, at what level it does it, and what its useful for.

I know that str adds dmg and lets you carry more, aswell as being a req for equipment, and agil is needed for equip and gives dmg for agil based weapons, but what do the other stats do?

The main thing I want to know is does anything increase the speed with which you attack, and if so, what?

Thanks

I don't have a breakdown, but you can increase your Speed stat to increase your attack speed.

I have a feeling you're talking about Divine Divinity, not Beyond Divinity. In that case, you need to use the Weapon Expertise skills under Way of the Warrior to increase your attack speed.

If you did mean DD, rather than BD, see;

differences between classes (minor spoilers)
or
Early Starter Tips (NON-Spoiler Version) (contains much of the information in the above topic)

I am actually talking about Beyond Divinity.

I want to know what the stats do exactly. I know what they affect, but id like to know how often, say survival increases luck. Also, things like what increases attack speed, etc. I was told speed does increase it, is it because of initiative?

Thanks.

Survival has more of an effect on initiative than Speed; initiative is part of the overall attack rate, influencing each 'round' of the fight. Your attack rate and recovery time are both influenced by Speed.
Luck is equal to half of Survival (plus any equipment modifiers).

For every 2 points you get =>

Strength => Damage (2-2), weight (120)
Agility => Acc (1), Evasion (1), damage (for every 3 pts 1).
Con => Vitality (20), Stamina (60), poison resis (2).
Int. => mana (30), Spiritual res.(2)
Survival => Initiative (2), luck (1), reg.(1), the first 4 elemental resis (2), acc (for every 3 pts 1)
Speed => evasion (2)

Increased stats on 2-er steps and watched the changes. I can't tell you the exact formula though, as my [nocando] sword has restrictions (-6 on acc, speed, init.) but I had to put that on to see the dam. changes.

All was done on my DK without wearing armour - so to say => nude, except the [nocando] sword (a very simple one with dam. 37-79)

Thanks Raze. Is there anywhere that tells the whole lot though? For each stat. I'm the kind of guy that likes to plan my characters, so that I can produce a powerful and fun hero.

Thanks also to kiya and HandEFood

I played with a hex edited game a bit to figure out some of the secondary stat formulas, but the results are not really in a form I can post yet.
