- Your character has six characteristics: strength, for
- fighting; intelligence, for magic spells; wisdom, for
- cleric spells; dexterity, for thieving and to a lesser
- extent, fighting; constitution, which mainly
- determines how much abuse you can withstand; and
- charisma, which helps haggle down prices with
- merchants. All characteristics are inter-related in
- determining your health, fatigue, and power.
- You change these numbers by clicking on the + and -
- buttons next to them. On the bottom is how many
- character building points you have left. Getting a
- higher stat costs more than lower ones, so play
- around for a while to design just the character you
- want. Don't worry if you don't use all your points,
- the left-overs are turned into gold when you start
- playing.
- Finally, if you want to be left-handed, check the
- left-handed box. This will make your left hand your
- dominant hand, which is important for how you arm
- yourself and when casting certain spells.
