Attributes

(Thanks JZ)

Strength - Increases melee damage
Precision - Increases ranged damage
Constitution - 8 health and 2 action per point
Stamina - 2 health and 8 agility per point
Agility - Increases defense (rumored to not be working well, if at all)
Luck - Increases the chance of a critical effect (see below)

Note: A critical effect is extra damage being dealt on an outgoing attack, less damage being dealt on an incoming attack or more damage being healed by a heal ability.

Bliz Update 2-28-07: These are out of date. Stam and Con are known results. Currently there are debates as to what luck, prec, str and agil do and what the returns are like. If someone has a clear answer please point me there!

Updated Stats with BE comps and a Sprinkle of Bliz Majic Crafting! :)

Thakitillo (77 Stam, 30 Con)
Vercupti of Agazza Boleruuee (75 Precision, 30 Con)
Rakririan Burnout sauce (75 Str, 25 Precision)
Mandalorian Wine (65 Something, 30 something else, I forget)
Flameout (64 Con, 25 Agi, 25 Stam) Currently most used.
Breath of Heaven (75 Agility, 30 Con)
Deneelian Fizz Pudding (75 Luck, 30 Con)
Accarragm (88 Terrain negotiation)
Bespin Port (24% to Experimentation Success)
Pyollian Cake (15 to Assembly Success)

All of them listed here pretty normal stats. I forget Mando wine. its like Str-Pre or something. Best IMHO are Thak or Flameout. Although a case could be made for the Pudding.
