Ok so its time for me (Nathan) to start this painfully long guide ont this years hardest game, Demon's Souls. This JRPG (japanese roleplaying game) is an intense and challenging experience that suits all gaming styles, with its vast selection of classes any gamer will be sure to find a class that fits his/her preference. i will show a class list below which includes all stats.
But first im going to show you a review of this game to give you a rough idea of what your getting yourself into and then i'll tell you what each stat if for and how it helps you in this hard as hell game.
Vitality: this stat determines your max hitoints (which is extremely important since every hit does a massive ammount of damage compared to most games) and it also determines how much weight you can carry.
Intelligence: This controls how many spell slots you have at one time as well as how much MP you have. You need multiple slots for some more powerful spells.
Endurance: this is a very important stat in your adventures throughout Demon's souls as it determines your maximum stamina and how much weight you can equip at a time and this is known as your equip burden, try and keep that burden below half your maximum and you wont experience any mobility problems (when your burden goes above half, you dont move as quickly, and your roll is slowed down)
Strength: In the every day RPG strength is the primary stat that determines damage you deal, but in Demon's souls it is that and it also controls weather a weapon can be weilded atall but in some situations a weapon may not be able to be weilded with one hand but this game has a unique macanic with which you can use weapons with both hands whenever you want and this increases your strength with the choosen weapon.
Dexterity: This is another stat that determines weather or not a weapon can be used (but this goes more for bows), and it also controls how much damage you take from falls (decreasing the damage taken with each upgrade just incase you were confused) but remember that you cant be saved from some heights no matter how high your dexterity.
Also some weapons benefit from increasing your dexteriy but it depends on the weapon.
Faith: This is another magic based stat, but this stat controls how many Miracles you can have equipted at a time, now there is a difference between spells and miracles, spells concerntrates mostly on offencive magic with spells such as Fire Toss and Soul Arrow, and miracles are more healing and survival based magic with miracles such as Heal and Second chance (a miracle that you cast before going into battle and if you die you are simply revived on the spot and are able to continue fightling, and this can be used multiple times...if you have enough MP.
Luck: This stat controls drop rate from slain enemies...theres not much more to say about this. OH wait, remember that this stat increases how often you your enemies drop loot but not how good the loot is.
now i could sit here and tell you how to build a character and what to do with your stats but then i would be taking awa what Demon's souls is all about, and that's making your character what you want it to be. So what i am going to do is read through the stats list and from that, decide what type of character you want and then try it out in the game, good luck and i hope you love the game as much as i do.
