Mortal Online Guide: Strength – Intelligence – Dexterity
This is just a sneak peek of Killer Guides Mortal Online Guide, a high-end, in-depth and well structured unofficial Mortal Online guide.
Each Attribute has its own effect on your character:
- Strength: This Attribute determines such basic things as which types of armor you can wear and how much you can carry. It also affects certain combat skills which require brute force to pull off. Strength is most useful to melee type characters who prefer to do their damage up close and personal.
- Intelligence:Your mind can be a powerful weapon, allowing you to master systems of magic with ease. A higher Intelligence allows you access to certain Skills not available to those with lesser minds. Intelligence is most useful to magic users for whom arcane knowledge is the ultimate defense, and their weapon of choice.
- Dexterity: Brute strength and a quick mind only get you so far. Dexterity allows you the nimbleness you need to sneak past enemies, to use certain weapons, and even to more easily scale some terrain. A higher Dexterity makes it possible to learn Skills based on movement, such as Acrobatics, which makes it much easier to get in and out before your enemies even know you are there.
It’s important to note though that allocating your Attribute Points is not all or nothing. While making a completely balanced character is not a good idea because you end up with someone who is mediocre at many things and excels at nothing, putting all of your points into one Attribute is not a good strategy either.
Place the majority of your points into your main Attribute but be sure to leave points to spend in complimentary Attributes as well. For instance, Strength and Dexterity together give you a much different character than either can alone. Remember that how you allocate your Primary Attribute Points determines the path your character takes. To see how Skills are affected by Primary Attribute choices, let’s take a close look at the Skill system.
