Attribute Fields

This entry describes all configurable ATTRIBUTE fields in the codebase. Use these to control each attribute’s display, limits, and behavior when applied to players. Unspecified fields fall back to sensible defaults.

---

Overview

Each attribute is registered on the global ATTRIBUTE table. You can customize:

• Display: The name and desc that players see in-game.

• Startup bonus: Whether this attribute can receive points from the pool allocated during character creation.

• Value limits: The hard cap (maxValue) and the creation-time base cap (startingMax).
