Attributes (NPCs)

Just like the player, slaves have a unique set of ATTRIBUTES, Skills and affections that decide how they interact with the world around them.

STRENGTH

STRENGTH is a measurement of a slave's physical power and muscular build. It affects the outcome of wrestling matches and unarmed struggles against the MC or other foes. STRENGTH also decides her efficiency with larger melee weapons. The attribute's main use, however, is as a modifier to the damage done in melee combat.

Increase Strength:

By including slave when training your own STRENGTH at home

Through random events

Strength can be negatively affected by:

Injuries

Laziness (mostly random events, or through a very low discipline value)

Aging

STAMINA

STAMINA affects the amount of damage a slave receives in combat. It also determines how fast she can heal injuries naturally and how long it takes before she becomes over-fatigued during sexual activities. This ATTRIBUTE also modifies the outcome of physical training sessions.

Increase Stamina

• By including slave when training your own STAMINA at home
• Through long sessions of intercourse
• Through random events

Stamina can be negatively affected by

• Injuries
• Laziness (mostly random events, or through a very low discipline value)
• Aging

DEXTERITY

DEXTERITY measures a slave's general agility, combat dodge capability, and her stealth abilities. It's a vital attribute when escaping enemies or if she's attempting any type of dexterous feat. If this attribute reaches 70 or more, the slave gets a small bonus to every Stealth check she undertakes on quests or while escaping from her current household.

Increase Dexterity

• By including slave when training your own DEXTERITY at home
• Through random events
• With a one time increase when slave reaches 80+ in Riding skill
• By homeschooling your slave in Acrobatics or Dancing
• By applying slave to the Acrobatics program at Whitehaven Academy

Dexterity can be negatively affected by

• Injuries
• Laziness (random events, or due to low discipline value)
• Aging

INTELLIGENCE

INTELLIGENCE determines a slave's wits. A high value boosts the chance of success during training sessions and the speed of learning while attending academy programs.

A slave with high Intelligence also receives a hidden bonus during escape attempts. She can also plan her escapes more properly – like trying to bolt out from your mansion if you've forgotten to check the perimeter or right after dismissing your mercenaries.

Increase Intelligence

• By applying your slave to various courses at the Academy (not Acrobatics or Domestic)
• By letting your slave work as a lecturer or professor at the Academy
• Through random events
• Through aging

Intelligence can be negatively affected by

• Certain injuries
• Genetics

WILLPOWER

A slave's WILLPOWER determines her obedience and confidence. A high willpower (above 40) severely limits a slavemaster's possibilities of making his servant more docile.

Positive effects of high-willpower slaves are few, but it does increase her learning abilities somewhat, as she's keen on finding her own ways through your lessons. It's also good to maintain a high WILLPOWER if you want to raise a slave's CHARISMA.

DISCIPLINE

A slave's DISCIPLINE determines her study focus and her ability to learn. This is a highly praised attribute that entails neatness and success. It has very few drawbacks.

You can raise Discipline by letting a slave be an active equestrian or by studies at the university.

KINDNESS

Kindness determines a slave's willingness to help you, accept your proposals, and to help other slave's that are in need. A high Kindness adds a small success chance to all persuasion attempts - as she doesn't want to disappoint you.

A Kindness above 50 makes the slave gullible, however, causing her to be more susceptible to Risks during courses or while working at vendors.

Increase Kindness

• By encouraging your slave (Talk section).
• Through random events.

Kindness can be negatively affected by

• Her master's cruelty

BEAUTY

Beauty is a value most slaves are born with. It's hard to affect – a perfume or makeup might give it a temporary boost, and only scars and aging (beauty begins to decrease after a slave reaches 35 years) can decrease it.

Beauty weighs heavily if you're planning on selling or purchasing slaves, as it considerably boosts her Market value.

CHARISMA

A slave with high Charisma knows how to smile, move her body, greet strangers, and what kind of clothes to wear at special occasions. It makes her either boring and uninteresting, or an exotic creature that catches everyone's attention.

Charisma increases slowly if a slave maintains a combination of high Willpower (30 or above) and a high enough Happiness (40 or above). This gives her room to improve her own confidence and character in front of the mirror.

A slavehandler can dress his more docile slaves in different clothes, give her perfumes, and hope that working at Nika's or the academy somehow positively affects her Charisma.

A very unhappy slave (4 or below) has a small chance of permanently decreasing her Charisma, however.
