Shattered Kingdoms

If I aim upper, i have a smaller chance to hit, does this affect trip or dirt kicking?

And question #2 is, a human, gets +3 stats or what ever to its primary attributes, but if i type attributes does it show up i.e. str:strong, is that including my extra stat bonus or is that without the stat bonus?

Thanks

1) Aim upper is smaller chance to hit but more damage. That is it. Aim lower affects tripping/dirt kicking

2) You aren't suppose to know what the stat maximums are. Although, after you play for a while, you can figure it out.

2) The +3 to your main stat affects the potential stat max, not your current stat. When you type ATT it shows what your current stats are.

You might want to use the slightly looser community site's Newbie Section.

The Newbie Help section is the second-to-the-bottom. I find that it has just enough help to let you understand the game without just handing you everything on a plate.

To clarify, your aim does not affect your own dirt kicking/tripping/bashing, but aiming lower will affect those that are done upon you.

....only in the sense that if you mangle their leg they can't do it anymore.

Wow, fun with missinformation.

Don't listen to these jerks.

Just play the game.

There is alot of debate on what does what and only the coders know for sure and they ain't tellin.

I'll answer the second question first.

Your +3 indicates that you can rise 3 points above a human's maximum (20 in all attributes). Eventually this means that a paladin can become titanic with a maximum (through stat mods or trains) 23 strength, while a warlock can become a genius with up to 23 intelligence. There is no 'invisible' benefit - so if you are at 'strong' (between 11-15 strength) you will not fight as though you are a higher strong, or a low powerful (14-18 strength).

The first question is tricky, because I don't know for sure. If you have a smaller chance to hit while aiming at a different area it's pretty negligible. There are other benefits, however. If you aim upper, you will only be hitting a person in their head and chest, both of which can sustain mortal blows. If you aim at someone's middle area you'll be hitting their chest, stomach, and arms, and the damage you do to someone's arms won't kill them (though it can sever arms and their associated equipment, including weapons). Some races have less capability to equip armor in some body parts, so you might find yourself aiming for wherever they're wearing the least armor for example.

Where you are aiming will not affect your chance to dirt kick or trip an opponent.
