The six core Avowed attributes are:
-
Might: Boosts physical and spiritual strength, increasing damage output from all sources and expanding carry capacity. High Might unlocks unique dialogue options, potentially intimidating foes or avoiding conflict.
-
Constitution: Enhances overall health and stamina, increasing maximum health and bolstering resistance to poison and bleeding effects. It also unlocks specific dialogue choices.
-
Dexterity: Accelerates attack and action speeds, improving weapon and ability use, consumable consumption, and parkour. Reload speed is also significantly improved, enhancing overall mobility.
-
Perception: Increases critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (bows, wands, guns). While it offers additional dialogue options, their impact on gameplay is minimal.
-
Intellect: Improves maximum essence and resistance to fire, shock, and frost damage. Crucial for spellcasters, but also beneficial for characters utilizing essence-based abilities. Unlocks additional dialogue options.
-
Resolve: Increases maximum stamina and Second Wind efficiency. Synergizes well with heavy weapons and tank builds. Unlocks dialogue options with outcomes similar to Constitution.

Attribute Ranking and Strategic Allocation
While attributes support specific builds, some offer broader utility. Here's a ranking to guide your attribute point allocation:
-
Perception: While increased critical hit chance and range are appealing, their practical impact is often limited by the frequent close-quarters combat. Consider investing sparingly, potentially re-speccing for specific enemy types.
-
Resolve: Increased stamina is valuable, but readily obtainable through unique armor. Second Wind's effectiveness, while improved by Resolve, is often outweighed by prioritizing health and evasion.
-
Intellect: Elemental resistance is invaluable, mitigating significant damage. Increased maximum essence benefits all characters, even non-mages, due to the widespread use of essence-based abilities.
-
Dexterity: A versatile attribute boosting attack and action speeds, enhancing mobility and DPS. A worthwhile investment for all builds.
-
Constitution: Increased maximum health and resistance to poison and bleed—two common causes of death—significantly improves survivability.
-
Might: The most impactful attribute, significantly boosting damage output across all weapons and enhancing carry capacity. Increased carry capacity is crucial for managing inventory and maximizing loot acquisition.
This ranking provides a framework for building your Avowed character. Remember to adapt your strategy based on your chosen playstyle and combat preferences.
