: "Your Presence is a representation of the perseverance of your physical form. As you weaken the will of others to live, your own may grow stronger. Gaping wounds become minor cuts, and those who would engage you previously soon will run at the sight."

((So, Experience Points?))

((Nah.))

((Sarcasm or no?))

[freeformschooler]

"So in layman's terms presence is how big and badass I am?"

: "Big, maybe. 'Badass' I would reserve for Fury."

((So, Experience Points?))

((Nah.))

((Sarcasm or no?))

((Nope.))

"Could you give me a further rundown on the stats that make up my presence?"

[freeformschooler]

"Could you give me a further rundown on the stats that make up my presence?"

: "Presence is its own stat. And I would prefer to call it an aptitude: after all, it too may be compounded with Luck. Say, to peacefully hold an onslought of demons where they stand."

((Mmhmm, I just found where FFS got the word "Statusventory". Mmhmm. No, I'll keep it semisecret for a while))

[kj1225]

"Okay, then I get a rundown on my will, fury, and charm?"

[freeformschooler]

"Okay, then I get a rundown on my will, fury, and charm?"

: "Are you trying to waste my time? There are fell Neutral monsters inside, and they must be eliminated."

Rutger looks at the person.

Look for a Demon Lock on this creature from a distance. If there isn't one, step away rapidly. If and only if there is one, poke it with my foot. If that doesn't work, poke it with my hand. And if that doesn't work, pick it up and shake it vigorously.

((Hm. So Will, Fury, and Charm are standard "1d12+relevant stat" style attributes, I think.

Presence is probably roughly equivalent to level, or at least the defensive, "I'm too important to be assaulted, killed, and/or eaten by goblins" aspect of level/plot importance.

Alternatively it could be the game's only defensive stat, but I haven't noticed any No, there it is. Presence indeed appears to reduce damage taken.

Okay, so mystery solved. Presence is Stamina/Endurance/Toughness/Armor/The Game's Only Defensive Stat. I'm not sure what the significance of the whole "as you reduce others' wills to live" and "weaker enemies will flee instead of attacking you" bits. Maybe enemies are smart enough to realize when they can't physically damage something.

Luck seems pretty self explanatory.


Presumably the compaction thing means that stats give their full value in combat, and use a much smaller (+1 per 5 full points) scale out of it.))

Make sure to use Aim a few times before entering, it is never a bad idea to have more mana to fight with, especially as your only good attacking ability is mana-based.

<You should really invest in an Uzi or Shotty or something. Bloaw! "Don't gimmie' no lip, no backtalk, no breakoff, don't make me pull the gat and blow your motherfucking head off!"
