My mom was wondering what all the attributes in pog REALLY mean. Does luck really give you a better chance of getting a hit on an opponant? What about getting things in rockpiles and holes? Perception is of no use to a swordsman? I looked around for a user-type manual that addressed this, but didn't find an "In-depth" discussion on this. I looked at the discussion on statistics in the Coldstone user manual, but of course that doesn't necessarily apply to the pog game, depending on what the makers decided. Any comments or help here?

Luck does not give you a better chance of hitting an opponant, but it does give you a better chance of that opponant dropping good stuff when he dies. I do not know if the rockpiles are affected by luck, I suspect not.

Perception only affects ranged weapons which a swordsman cannot use.

Strength-Past 15=1 more dmg per hit per point
Dexterity-Hit more often with swords and bows. Get hit less often
Vitality-Every point after 12 or 15-1 more hp per level
Perception-Same as dex, but with bows only
Luck-Find and get items more often, everytime you strike, a roll is done 1-100, if the number is under your luck amount, you're hit passes through his armor.
Speed-How fast you walk (duh)

I think that is it...

Are you sure about this (not contesting it just confused)? And if that is true what happens when your luck gets above 100? It's been a few years since I played last but I have had stats over 100 before, way over in fact. Is there a "roll-over" effect?

------------------

Above 100, always passes through armor. Very sure of this fact.

What doesn't kill you just leaves you writhing in pain and agony.

hrmm, that makes absolutely no sense. I'll just jack my luck and see what happens
