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 altogether.
• Constitution: Improves overall health and endurance, increasing maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding effects. Also unlocks specific dialogue choices.
• Dexterity: Increases attack and action speed, improving weapon and ability use, consumable application, parkour, and reload speed. Enhances overall mobility.
• Perception: Enhances critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (bows, wands, guns). Unlocks minor dialogue options with limited gameplay impact.
• Intellect: Increases maximum essence and resistance to fire, shock, and frost damage. Crucial for spellcasters. Unlocks additional dialogue options.
• Resolve: Boosts maximum stamina and Second Wind effectiveness. Synergizes well with heavy weapons and tank builds. Unlocks dialogue options similar to Constitution.

Attribute Ranking and Strategic Allocation

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

6. Perception: While increased critical hit chance and range are appealing, their practical impact is situational. Ranged combat is not always optimal, making Perception a niche attribute. Consider investing minimally, potentially respeccing for specific encounters.

7. Resolve: Increased stamina is valuable, but readily obtainable through unique armor. Second Wind's improvement is less impactful than focusing on health and mobility to avoid damage.

8. Intellect: Boosted maximum essence and elemental resistance are significant. Even non-magic users benefit from increased essence for various abilities.

9. Dexterity: A versatile attribute beneficial for all builds. Improved attack and action speed enhances mobility, DPS, and overall combat efficiency. A worthwhile investment for any playstyle.

10. Constitution: Increased maximum health and resistance to poison and bleed are crucial for survival. Poison and bleed are frequently lethal, making this a strong defensive attribute.

11. Might: The most impactful attribute, significantly boosting damage output from all weapons and enhancing carry capacity. Increased carry capacity is essential for managing inventory and maximizing loot acquisition.

This ranking provides a framework for building your Avowed character. Remember to adjust your attribute allocation based on your chosen playstyle and combat preferences.
