Stormhold:Character Creation

In Stormhold, you can choose between 7 different classes, shared by 5 different races. Each class has three critical attributes, eight primary attributes, a number of skills and a set of equipment and spells attached from the beginning. The Spellsword was only available for the Nokia 3650.

Your character's name has to be at least 3 characters long.

Critical Attributes

There are three attributes that are important enough to be displayed at all times on the game screen.

The most important is health. If this is ever reduced to zero, the character dies and wakes up back near Helga, missing all items other than the ones they had equipped.

Also vital is fatigue, as characters with low fatigue do significantly less damage.

For characters with the ability to cast spells, magicka is a measure of their remaining spell power. These three attributes are present on the in-game screen at all times.

Primary Attributes

In addition to the game-screen attributes, each character has eight primary attributes that vary by class.

Attribute	Description
Agility	Determines your character's base defense against physical attacks.
Endurance	Affects the amount of health your character has.
Intelligence	Determines your character's supply of base magicka.
Luck	Is your character's fate and fortune.
Personality	Determines how well you interact with the trainers.
Speed	Determines how fast your character moves.
Strength	Affects the amount of damage your character can inflict.
Willpower	Affects the recovery speed of Magicka energy.

When a new character is created, the basic stats for all attributes looks like this:

Class	Race	Health	Magicka	Fatigue	STR	INT	WIL	AGI	SPD	END	PER	LUC
