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:
Strength can be negatively affected by:
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
