Overview

Stats are numeric values that signify your character's skill in various areas. Besides being a guide to your character's knowledge, they also affect the probability of some actions succeeding, depending on the stat. There are three "general" stats: Mechanical, Cognition, and Biology, as well as three "combat" stats: Robustness, Vigilance, and Toughness. The stats are usually around -10 and 60, albeit there is no limit how high or low they can be. The roundstart stats defined by character's chosen occupation, backstory and some fate perks. The stats can be further increased by oddities system and (only temporarily!) Certain drugs with potential side-effects.
