List of character statistics: Difference between revisions

In all other titles, the maximum HP a character has is generally determined by their level and (if applicable) class, with [[martial artist]]s having the highest on average.  

'''Magic Points (MP)''' determine how much mana a character can expend to cast spells. Each spell deducts from this pool at a set rate, and cannot be cast if MP is simply too low. Some very special spells like [[Magic Burst]] will consume '''all''' remaining MP upon cast. Starting with ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'', skills were introduced that also consumed MP to execute.

'''Strength''' measures how physically strong a character is; it is added to a character's weapon bonus in determining damage inflicted upon an enemy. In later installments, some skills depend on Strength for determining damage output, ignoring they weapon they have equipped.

In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] titles, '''Agility''' determines a character's priority in turns.

Additionally, in [[Dragon Quest VIII]] a character's agility will also determine their probability to dodge physical strikes. The game's programing checks the agility stat of the target before an attack is made, and if the stat surpasses a certain value then the programing checks to see if the blow lands:

As such, the spell [[acceleratle]] is vitally important when battling strong foes, even slow ones.  

In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] titles, '''Resilience''' determines a character's potential '''Hit Points'''. The maximum '''Hit Points''' at any time is roughly double your '''Resilience''' score.

In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] titles, '''Wisdom''' determines a character's potential '''Magic Points'''. Your maximum '''Magic Points''' at any time is roughly double your '''Wisdom''' score.

In later titles, Wisdom is a curious attribute as it's function has changed greatly throughout the series. For the majority of its appearances, the Wisdom stat has controlled a character's ability to dodge harmful magic (I.E., a stat of 250 will give a character a twenty five percent chance to avoid an enemy spell entirely). Starting with ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'', however, Wisdom has begun to effect the potency and power of spells, such as raising [[Snooze]]'s accuracy from fifty to seventy-five percent at higher values.

'''Style''' is the predecessor of the Charm attribute to be found in later games, and as such it describes a character's innate charisma and attractiveness. Through the [[Luminary]] vocation, Style effects how often a monster may become temporarily enthralled by a character's appearance, stunning them. Outside of battle, Style determines a character's placement in the contests such as the World Style Ranking in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''.  

Attack is derived from a character's strength score added to their weapon's attack rating, which is  then divided by two, plus bonuses from certain [[accessories]] or [[traits]].
