Characters & Stats

What a character is made of, where those numbers come from, and what reads them. The framework names none of them.

  • An attribute is not a multiplier — The four stat seams Health and Status Effects already publish disagree about what "no change" means, and two of them quietly discard your answer
    Attributes, Health, Status Effects · Composite
  • A bag that grows with the character — A slot count that follows a stat and shrinks without eating anything — driven by a value that raises no event when it changes
    Attributes, Inventory, Save · Subtle
  • A character sheet nothing writes to — A worn ring and a running buff raise the same number, and nothing anywhere applies or removes a bonus — contributions are pulled at the read, not pushed at the change
    Attributes, Inventory, Status Effects · Composite
  • Three stacking rules, one container — Three incompatible stacking rules over one unchanged container — the evidence for the combiner the framework refuses to ship
    Attributes · Composite

  • Standing, and what standing means — Faction reputation is one attribute id per faction and a table of names you wrote — the game writes no save code, and the range you configured in the inspector does not apply to a faction created in code
