The Stat and Skill Document

The reason for this thread is I'm compiling this for easy access(such as copy paste) and so the info is in one place. Eventually I would like to do professions threads which list everything relevant and the results, which having this here will help with that, and in keeping things organized for me so I can connect all the dots, I'm going head and working in the forum instead of doing private docs in case I don't finish and someone wants to continue, if someone wants to help me, or the fact this information might be useful as it is. I'm also offering my commentary. It also appears it's going to be a quick view of what skills have been fully documented in game.

Personal Skills

Agility- Agility can be increased by eating meals with poultry. The power of moving quickly and easily, important if you want to dodge arrows and other weaponry.
Constitution*- Your Constitution Skill increases your maximum Life-Points. Meals containing eggs will increase this skill. Constitution affects your general life. Your body becomes tougher so
you can take more damage without going down. When you have perfected your body that way, you will have more health then any other normal man
or woman!
Charisma-Charisma can be increased when eating meals with vegetables. A spiritual power or personal quality that gives an individual influence or authority over large numbers of people.
Decadence-You gain more decadence when you do things a decent
person never does. Like eating too much. Decadent people are mostly
rich people as well. The act or process of falling into an inferior condition or state;
deterioration. Although it’s not really a skill, your decadence does
tell something about yourself.
Endurance- When eating meals with some nice potatoes. Endurance.
Intelligence-When eating a lot of fishy meals! The food “fish” increases your Intelligence. Capacity for reasoning, understanding and similar forms of mental
activity. A high intelligence is important for those who prefer to use
their brain instead of their muscles.
Learning**-Each day you learn more about this world, to
represent this you gain some extra Skill each day you were active. The
bonus ranges from 0.02 to 0.04%. The more you know the more efficient you will be. Each full % in
learning will add 1 extra stamina to your basic start of 100. With a
bonus of 150 when you reach 100% on the Learning Skill. Which brings
your total maximum to 250 stamina!
Luck-Your luck increases with the eating of meals with a lot of cheese. The force that seems to operate for good or ill in a person's life, as in shaping circumstances, events, or opportunities
Patience- Patience determines your will to wait for the
perfect moment. The power to control yourself and wait on others while
you are already done. Patience can be found almost anywhere. Some have
it most don’t which of the two are you? Patience is a virtue.
Physical Resistance***- Due the high calcium in Milk, your Physical Resistance increase when drinking a lot of Milk. The higher your Physical Resistance, the less damage you will receive.
Regeneration- Increases when healing yourself in the Hospital. Every 25 points on Regeneration will make healing yourself 1 stamina cheaper. Your capability to recover your health quicker during your sleep.
Speed- Speed has various effects...most effects have something to do with speed in combat.

Strength- Your strength skill has various effects through the
game. It represents your strength. You can increase your strength by
eating a lot of meat. The more strength you have, the stronger you are.

* May I suggest changing this to Constitution? It seems more fitting and it's a more common used game term used for such a stat. Changed in game, now edited to reflect.
** Learning doesn't seem to be really a stat, Perhaps Wisdom? Not important, just another observation.
*** Is there going to be magic? Is it going to be anytime soon? If not to either of those, perhaps it should just be resistance for now, as it gives the impression some other type of resistance is going to be coming sometime.

Crafting skills

Alchemy-
Blacksmithing- The art of making metal objects using iron, coal and steel.
Blacksmiths are using strength, heat and skill to create dozens of
useful tools in the Blacksmith Workshop.
Carpentry- Gained when working in the workshop on wooden objects.
Clothier-
Cooking-When Cooking your Cooking Skill increases. The art of mixing food ingredients into a tasty dish.
Heavy Armorer*- ncu Do not confuse with Heavy Armor, which is a combat skill. Heavy Armorers make armor out of a heavy metal that offers the best
defense but the least flexibility. It makes the wearer very defensive,
but does not allow for quick movement. The wearer would wear plate armor
or a suit of armor.
Light Armorer* - ncu Do not confuse with Light Armor, which is a combat skill. Light Armorers makes armor out of leather that is flexible for the
means of stealth along with the quickness the light armor generates to
make quicker attacks.
Medium Armorer*- ncu Do not confuse with Medium Armor, which is a combat skill. Medium Armorers try to find a good balance between the flexibility
and the defense the armor can offer. The classic chain mail or ring mail
are good examples of such armors. They have a good protection against
arrows and stabs but you still can still get around quickly.
Ore Melting - With your Melting Skill you can convert Ores into Bars.

* First off I have to say there should just be a flat armor skill to use armor. Second I hope your not going to balance the armors in the traditional sense, as that is utterly unrealistic and actually not balanced. No one is going to spend out the extra dough if Heavy armor is just as good as light armor, making light armor king(like in most games where cash is important.) Also if you had the money, you'd buy the best armor you could get, there where actually rich archers that would have mail or plate armor, they lived longer to. Plate armor is as encumbering or less encumbering(due to how it's strapped on) as modern US Marine or Army Ranger combat gear. If guys trained for war in a few years today can fight with out problems with 50-70 pounds of stuff on their back, people trained for war since they where 5 years old wouldn't have a problem with 50-70 pounds evenly spread out among their body parts. Conquest, Knights in Armor part one best watched with the other parts.

Taken as the crafting skills, I suggest either throwing the armors into other professions,(metal armors to blacksmiths and leathers to tailors, some armors needing products from both) or make a new armor smith profession. I'm kinda throwing all my own ideas for a game out here sadly, but would make separate professions for both weaponsmiths and armorsmiths. I'd classify weapons and armor as simple, normal and complex, and the makers skill determines what they could make and the quality. So by the time a person is unlocking high quality leather armors, they would be unlocking meduim armors such a mail. Sorry, I know this is an information post to organize data for easy access, sort of a reverse game document, but I have to comment as the thoughts come to me while doing this, so it's kinda my notebook to.

Daily Skills

Cowardice- You become a cowardly person whenever you avoid to
face your foes! Avoiding fights and not even trying to get victorious,
that being a pure cowardly deed! The Grail Lords do not like Cowards! Whenever you gain a Cowardly

Whew, that was a few hours of work. Now later, I'm going to start working on professions The actions in those professions, the skills, equipment and the stats. I'm going to need a lot of help connecting all these things and I have a feeling Aro is going to be the only one to be able to provide most of this information.

Clothier skill is gained by working on items in the Tailor's workshop

The way light, medium and heavy armor work could be with movement penalties... However, in that case when leaving town, people should not be allowed to change armor.

So, light armor, a protection, no movement penalties...

Heavy armor, a great protection, a great movement penalty.

Profficiency in "wearing armor" could be either on increased protection and on reduced movement penalty.

Unarmed combat ... perhaps Martial Arts?!

Bit late on this, but slight note: You parry with the flat of your blade.  Inexperienced people DO destroy the edge, but after a certain point you learn how to make sure you block with the flat.  When that happens, you take minimal damage to the weapon.

Also, on armor, the backpack of a US marine during TRAINING weighs as much as the armor.  It's significantly heavier during actual active front line duty(Up to 100 pounds).  Whats more, spreading the weight across the body makes it less encumbering, and if the armor was properly fitted, they retained full range of mobility after proper conditioning.  However, only nobles really could afford a steel tailor, so a lot of plate armor was less than well fitted(A lot of people got it from looting battlefields during certain periods), so the joints were misaligned with the wearers.  This caused issues.
