-The primary attribute describes the most important [[Ability Stats|ability statistic]] of the [[Character Class|character's class]]. When a player [[Character Creation|creates a character]], the player improves the character’s survival if the highest roll is  placed upon the character’s primary attribute.
+== Experience Bonuses ==
-For example, a player has decided to be a [[Fighter (class)|fighter]]. The primary attribute for fighters is [[Strength (ability stat)|strength]]. A fighter’s minimum strength is 9. Under the rules, the player is free to assign any stat above 9 to their strength in order to meet the fighter's requirements — but a fighter with a mere 9 strength would be a poor fighter.  Placing the highest of the player’s six rolls would be wiser.
+Two of these require a strength of 16 or better in order for the bonus to be received: fighters and paladins.  A ranger requires that both strength and [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]] be at least 16.  Mages require a 16 intelligence; clerics and druids require a 16 [[Wisdom (ability stat)|wisdom]]; thieves require a 16 [[Dexterity (ability stat)|dexterity]].  Four classes cannot receive an experience bonus, regardless of their stats: [[Assassin (class)|assassins]], [[Bard (class)|bards]], [[Illusionist (class)|illusionists]] and [[Monk (class)|monks]].
-So the primary ability is a guideline for the player when choosing stats.  It's not a requirement — but often it's good policy.
+== Constitution & Charisma ==
-Seven classes provide a 10% bonus to experience if the character's primary stat is above a given number.  These seven include [[Cleric (class)|clerics]], [[Druid (class)|druids]], fighters, [[Mage (class)|mages]], [[Paladin (class)|paladins]], [[Ranger (class)|rangers]] and [[Thief (class)|thieves]].
+[[Charisma (ability stat)|Charisma]] is the primary ability for bards.  It's also of particular benefit to paladins and druids, and to a lesser extent to all players, as charisma can open doors and win [[Morale|loyalty]] and [[Follower|followers]] through game play.
