Talking about the stats, I find myself being somewhat bemused by the status screen's totally unforgiving and derogatory comments concerning my stat levels, and their meaning in the wider world. I am currently level 18, and my Strength, at 42, has just barely been given some small amount of respect. My Vitality, however, seems at its current level of 20 to suggest that I am barely able to walk up a couple of stairs.
This to a character that can actully vault, repeatedly, over the village palissade.
I know that it is only flavour text.

But when I first read it, it did give me reason to doubt the recruiting policy of the Dragon Slayer's Association...
