They are impossible to change—or are they? * :muscle:**STR** - Strength * :fast\_forward:**DEX** - Dexterity * :brain:**INT** - Intelligence * :heart:**CON** - Constitution #### Special Attributes * :zap:**Power** - Power is a special stat that is a limit on what the pixel hero can equip. Each item has a power rating, and the hero can not have items whose total power sums to greater than their power level. * **Health** - Health is how much damage a pixel hero can take before getting depixelated… which is a lot like dying. Base attribute prioritization by class:

Class	Stat Priority
Warrior	STR -> CON -> DEX -> INT
Rogue	DEX -> STR -> INT -> CON
Mage	INT -> CON -> DEX -> STR

## Stats Stats represent a hero's combat effectiveness and are broken down between offensive and defensive. The are derived from a hero's attributes and equipped items. They can also be enhanced by skills. ### Offensive Stats Offensive stats help a pixel hero inflict damage. | Offensive Stat | Function | Underlying Attributes | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | | Attack | Basic attack power that determines chance to hit opponent - offset against their defense. | | | Damage | Base damage comes from weapons. | Weapon | | Damage Modifier | Additional damage on top of the equipped weapon. | STR | |

Crit | Determines the chance to score a critical hit. | DEX | | Precision | Determines the damage multiplier when the hero makes a critical hit. | INT, DEX | | Speed | Speed is both offensive and defensive. It primarily impacts who gets to attack first. | | ### Defensive Stats Defensive stats help pixel heroes avoid being hit, mitigate damage or stop it outright, protect against magic, and more. | Defensive Stat | Function | Underlying Attributes | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | | Defense | Basic defensive ability that offsets opponent's attack. | DEX | |
