CLASSIC

CLASSIC is the ruleset powering Wasteland 2 and its character systems. The acronym stands for the seven primary attributes.

Attributes
The seven primary attributes determine derived statistics and are expressed in a range from 1 to 10.


 * Coordination
 * Luck
 * Awareness
 * Strength
 * Speed
 * Intelligence
 * Charisma

Derived statistics
Derived statistics are determined by the attributes.


 * Action Points: Determine the amount of actions a character can perform each turn. Base value is 3.
 * Constitution: How much punishment the character can suffer before being knocked unconscious or worse. Base value is 14.
 * Constitution level gain: How much CON points the character gains per level
 * Carry weight: How much stuff a Ranger can carry.
 * Combat initiative: Determines turn sequence.
 * Combat speed: How much distance the Ranger can cover in combat
 * Chance to evade
 * Survival points: Used to increase skills. Granted per level.

Additionally, high character attributes yield bonuses:
 * Ranged Hit Bonus: Increased chance to hit targets with ranged weapons. Every point of Coordination translates into a 1% bonus (eg. a Ranger with 10 in Coordination gains the full 10% bonus).
 * Melee Critical Hit Bonus: Chance to score a critical hit with melee weapons. Every point of Awareness translates into a 1% bonus (eg. a Ranger with 10 in Awareness has a 10% bonus chance to score a critical hit).
