Attributes

This page is a first draft, the content will be continuously updated.

Attributes describe a Gnome's physical and mental makeup and in a way the Gnome's potential to do certain tasks.

Attributes will not change. They will be generated at the Gnome's creation and stay the same throughout the lifetime of your fortress. Attributes can be modified temporarily by potions, spells and enchanted equipment and other status effects.

In game play terms attributes modify how fast jobs are executed, where the required skill is associated with that attribute. So while every gnome can still do every task some will be better and some worse at it.
