* [[Toughness|'''Toughness:''']] affects how many [[hitpoints]] you gain per level, and how many you recover per turn.

It's needed for the [[Endurance]] skill tree (which has various useful defensive skills), and is also used for a handful of saving throws, such as saves against being [[poisoned]].<br>HP gains from Toughness are applied ''retroactively'': if you gain an extra point of toughness at level 10 and go from 20 Toughness to 21 Toughness, you gain HP to match what you would have had if you'd had 21 Toughness since level 1. As a result, picking up high Toughness at the start of the game doesn't confer any advantages over picking up high Toughness later in the game (outside of improving your early-game defenses). | ||
* [[Intelligence|'''Intelligence:''']] affects the number of skill points you gain per level, which in turn impacts how many different skills you can pick up.

It is also required for the [[Wayfaring]] and [[Tinkering]] trees. Like Toughness, skill point gains from Intelligence are applied retroactively, so achieving high Intelligence in the early game doesn't give you an advantage over achieving high Intelligence in the late game. | ||
