Character Stats Explained: Strength, Wisdom, Charisma, Cunning, Resilience, Magic
What do your character stats actually mean? A complete guide to the six attributes that define every hero, villain, and wanderer in the Your Lore system. The Six Attributes Every character in Your Lore is defined by six attributes: Strength, Wisdom, Charisma, Cunning, Resilience, and Magic. These are not arbitrary numbers. Each attribute represents a fundamentally different way of interacting with the world, and the combination of your stats shapes the story your lore tells. Understanding what each attribute means — and what it does not mean — is the key to reading your character with depth. Strength Strength is the attribute of force. It measures raw physical power, endurance, and the capacity to impose your will through physical means. A character with high Strength does not just hit harder — they carry more, endure more, and impose themselves on physical space more completely. Strength is the most visible attribute, which makes it the most overrated. Characters with high Strength tend to rely on it, and reliance on a single attribute is always a weakness. The Warlord and the Chosen One tend to score high in Strength, but so do many villains — force is morally neutral. Wisdom Wisdom is the attribute of judgment.
