Dragon Age: Origins (Finally Doing This)

[AndrewRogue]

Welcome to the Dragon Age stat topic, where I once again attempt to convince the DL that WRPGs are awesome and need to be ranked. But since no one listens to me, I expect this to go utterly unread.

Jerks.

Anyhow, assisting me in this project is the ever cool Pyro who will be going through a lot of trouble to work out the raw numbers and such. I think. So, this is my shout out.

Let's get onto the meat and potatoes here.

STATS
HP: Run out of these, and the Darkspawn win.
MP/Stamina: Run out of these and you can no longer work your special mojo, if you know what I mean.

Strength: Increases damage for non-crossbow/staff weapons and increases melee attack.
Dexterity: Increases melee attack, ranged attack, defense, damage and physical resistance.
Willpower: Increases mana or stamina and contributes to mental resistance.
Magic: Increases spellpower and contributes to mental resistance.
Cunning: Contributes to armor penetration and mental resistance.
Constitution: Increases health and physical resistance.

Attack: Your chance of hitting things with your death dealing attacks.
Defense: Your chance to not get hit by opposing death dealing attacks.
Armor: The amount you reduce damage.

Mental Resistance: Resistance against mental effects (effectively mental status resistance).
Physical Resistance: Resistance against physical effects (effectively physical status resistance).

INTERPRETATION ISSUES
Determining PC Stats/Skills/Talents: This one is pretty straightforward. For the purposes of the topic, all PCs were levelled using the auto-level feature, which, generally speaking, follows the logical paths for the character's progression. These are not necessarily the ideal options, but they tend to be the progression of the options that the character comes with.

Determining Average Damage/Damage Period Length:

Character Crafting: Several PCs have the options to create items using their own personal crafting skills. Some of these are relatively unique to the character in question (notably poisons for Rogues) while the rest are universal use items (healing kits, etc). I will list the noteworthy things that are available to a character, but will not be including them in the averages/rankings unless people push for the inclusion of certain elements.

Equipment Options: For the majority of PCs, equipment is shared and, as such, per standard DL procedure, I will list each PC with whatever generic equipment there are enough bits to share of. In addition, there are unique pieces of equipment (relegated either to the character or their specialization) and, given no two characters share a specialization (except with the main), I will list these options with the PC as well.

Both Shale and the Dog have unique equipment categories that belong purely to them an have no competition.

Glyphs will not be counted on equipment on account of being really generic. If people want, I'll list them as options, though.
