Player Leveling bonus

Player gets 1 point for level.

• Attack power - one point of Attack Power grants 5% increase in damage
• Vitality - one point of Vitality grants 45 to maximum hit points
• Grit - one point of Grit grants 5 to your Armor
• Vigor - one point of Vigor grants 2% to all resistances
• Intelligence - one point of Intelligence grants 1 mana (=additional wand charge)
• Armor - Armor reduces the damage you take. There is an Armor curve in the game. At certain levels you are expected to have certain Armor value. The damage dealt is then decided by how far you are from that number. Thus, If you are over the number a lot, it is not very helpful to buff your armor further, as there are diminishing returns at work.
• Resistance Ratings - Resistance ratings increase your chance to resist status effects, up to 100% against monsters of the same level as the player. Your resist chance is lowered against higher level monsters but stacking resist rating past the cap helps against that.
  Resistances do not reduce incoming damage.
