A statistic is an attribute that describes a natural characteristic of a player character, like their might or speed. Their values are listed on the character's Statistics screen.
The initial values depend on a player character's race but can be adjusted to some extent when the character is created. Statistics affect how a character performs and will typically increase by various boosts, potions and item enchantments during the game. These effects may be either permanent or temporary.
Thresholds
The effect of statistics (and some other attributes) on a character's performance is nonlinear. This is realized mathematically with the use of thresholds. A statistic's value of 13 is neutral and results in a base effect (e.g. damage done is equal to a weapon's property). Values less than 13 have a negative effect. Thresholds are the same as in Might and Magic 6 through 9.
