* Luck is | * Luck is not a very impactful stat and even leaving it to 1 for everyone is no big loss. Strength is also not very important even on melee characters, but can't be totally ignored as it does dictate carrying capacity. Intelligence is best left at either 4 or taken all the way up to 8 or 10 as 5-7 provide no extra skill points. For example three 4 Int characters and one 10 Int character who sacrifices some combat ability for a large skill repertoire can cover the majority of useful skills between them. | ||

A couple of standouts include Brittle Bones (+2 AP, -50% combat speed) and Thick Skin (+2 armor, -30% combat speed) for ranged characters who don't have to move around that much in most fights.
