Avowed features six core attributes:

• Might: Boosts physical and spiritual strength, increasing damage output from all sources and enhancing carry capacity. High Might unlocks unique dialogue options, potentially intimidating foes or avoiding combat.
• Constitution: Increases maximum health and endurance, improving resistance to poison and bleeding effects. It also unlocks specific dialogue choices.
• Dexterity: Enhances attack and action speed, improving weapon and ability use, consumable usage, parkour, and reload speed. It significantly boosts overall mobility.
• Perception: Improves critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (bows, wands, guns). While offering some dialogue options, their impact on gameplay is minimal.
• Intellect: Increases maximum essence and resistance to fire, shock, and frost damage. Crucial for spellcasters and beneficial even for non-magic users due to essence-based abilities. It also provides additional dialogue options.
• Resolve: Increases maximum stamina and Second Wind efficiency. Synergizes well with heavy weapons and tank builds, and provides dialogue options similar to Constitution.

Attribute Ranking and Strategic Allocation

While each attribute caters to specific playstyles, some offer broader advantages. Here's our ranking:

6. Perception: While increased critical hit chance and range are appealing, their practical impact is often limited by the prevalence of close-quarters combat. Consider investing minimally, perhaps respeccing for specific encounters.

7. Resolve: The stamina bonus is valuable, but readily obtainable through unique armor. Second Wind's effectiveness, while improved by Resolve, is often outweighed by focusing on health, survivability, and damage avoidance.

8. Intellect: Increased maximum essence and elemental resistance are significant. Even non-magical builds benefit from increased essence for various abilities.

9. Dexterity: A versatile attribute beneficial to all builds. The improvements to attack and action speed enhance mobility and DPS, making it a worthwhile investment across playstyles.

10. Constitution: Boosted maximum health and poison/bleed resistance are crucial for survival. These resistances are particularly valuable given the frequent occurrence of poison and bleed effects in combat.

11. Might: The most impactful attribute. The damage increase significantly enhances DPS, while the carry capacity boost is invaluable for managing inventory and loot.

This ranking guides your attribute point allocation, enabling you to build a powerful and effective character in Avowed.
