Attributes – Drakensang: The Dark Eye

On this page, you’ll find the descriptions of different attributes that your character can have. Your base attributes are set by the archetype you choose.

Courage (CO)

The ability to react quickly and resolutely in critical situations, but also daring, and fearlessness when facing new or risky situations. In a passive role, Courage represents a high level of willpower and mental toughness, both in resisting magic and when having to confront specters.

Cleverness (CL)

This signifies intelligence and logical reasoning, the ability to analyze a situation bit by bit and to draw rational conclusions, as well as a quick grasp of mundane and magical correlations. A high Cleverness value represents knowledge acquired from books and a good memory.

Intuition (IN)

The ability to make sound decisions without having to think about it at length, or a swift appraisal of people or situations when not all of the required data and facts are on hand. A healthy dose of empathy for people and the ability to attune oneself to the astral energy plane are also governed by Intuition.
