Your character's six core attributes (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma) are fundamental to their abilities. Strength affects melee damage and carrying capacity, Dexterity influences ranged attacks and AC, Constitution determines hit points, Intelligence impacts skill points and Wizard spells, Wisdom affects Cleric/Druid spells and Will saves, and Charisma influences Sorcerer/Bard/Paladin spells and social skills. Each attribute also contributes to one of the three Saving Throws: Fortitude (Constitution), Reflex (Dexterity), and Will (Wisdom). These saves determine your resistance to various effects like poison, traps, and mind control. Prioritize attributes that align with your class's primary stats and ensure you have decent saving throws for survivability.
