Stats and bonuses in MudGate
Character stats affect combat, survival, and what you notice while exploring. Levels, abilities, and equipment influence how those stats develop.
Stats and levels
From levels 1 to 19, your hero gains base stats and useful bonuses. Levels 20 to 29 continue that growth with stronger challenges and new rewards.
Levels 30 to 255 focus on gear and bonuses. Base stats stop increasing after level 29, but abilities, equipment, and temporary effects can raise them further.
Core character stats
- Strength: Improves melee combat and helps with heavy weapons.
- Dexterity: Improves agility, precision, dodging, and some combat actions.
- Intelligence: Supports magical attacks and is a primary stat for SunSeekers, Time Tinkerers, and Shadow Stalkers.
- Vitality: Increases health and can contribute to the character's energy pool.
- Perception: Helps reveal details, hidden objects, traps, nearby encounters, and danger.
- Luck: Affects combat rolls, ability outcomes, critical hits, and some encounters. It does not increase with level, but items and abilities can change it.
A character's class primary stats determine the energy pool. Vitality determines the health pool and contributes to energy when it is a class primary stat.
