Attributes

Attributes, also known as Stats, are the building blocks of your Character.
They store information describing your charcter's abilities and characterceristics.

Rollplay splits attributes in 3 categories: - Numeric - Dice - Text

## Numeric Attributes If it's a number that's specific to your character, it's a Numeric Attribute. eg: Age, Level, Strength, Currency, Armor Rating

Dice Attributes / Dice Pools

Any attribute that is represented using Dice is a Dice Attribute. Note not all games use Dice Attributes. eg: Hit Dice, Luck Die

Text Attributes

Attributes that are plain text. eg: Name, Bio, Traits, Flaws, Appearence

Both Numeric And Dice Attributes follow a similar breakdown, useful to understand where their value comes from:

Attribute Breakdown

Component	Details
Base Value	The user-given or controlled component of this attribute
Formula	A formula that dynamically computes using other attributes and optionally a player-given Input*
Bonus Values	A list of bonuses added to this attribute by items or status effects
Multiplier	A multiplier applied by certain status effects
Overwrite	An optional value given by the user that ignores all other components if used

The final value of the attribute is computed as follows: (BaseValue + Formula + Bonuses) * Multiplier or Overwrite, if applicable

*Formula Input: sometimes, users have control over how an attribute is calculated, via Inputs such as toggling a "trained" or "proficient" value on or off, or increasing a "rank" of a certain skill.
These are refered to as Inputs to a formula, and can be used to automate more complex formulas dependent on user input.
