- 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.)[1]
- Dexterity
- Affects accuracy with weapons
- Increases odds in melee combat
- This increase is with Dexterity-based weapons (swords, knives, other finesse-type weapons)[1]
- 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
