Editing Abilities

Abilities are those characteristics that are innate, and cannot be improved.  Unlike [[Driving]], or [[Gunnery]], there is no training facility for a [[characters|character's]] abilities, and they don't level by use.

The following are a [[characters|character's]] abilities:
* '''Strength'''
** Affects how many hits a character can take before falling unconscious or dying
** Strong characters also are more likely to survive if they walk back to town (mainly just a guess)
** Increases odds in melee combat
*** This increase is with ''Strength-based'' weapons (clubs, sledgehammers, baseball bats, etc.)<ref name="forum post">[http://www.dark-wind.com/forums2/index.php?a=topic&t=9590&min=34&num=15 Abilities as they relate to melee weapons]</ref>
* '''Dexterity'''
** Affects accuracy with weapons
** Increases odds in melee combat
*** This increase is with ''Dexterity-based'' weapons (swords, knives, other ''finesse''-type weapons)<ref name="forum post">[http://www.dark-wind.com/forums2/index.php?a=topic&t=9590&min=34&num=15 Abilities as they relate to melee weapons]</ref>
* '''Speed'''
** Fast characters fire earlier in the combat sequence
** Affects weapon reloading speed somewhat
** Affects running speed when on foot

FIXME - add even more info about these abilities
