Character Sheet
(Base stats at the end of book 1)
Name: Elorion Edwards
Race: Human
Age: 19
Level: 260
Health Points: 2500
Mana Points: 5000
Endurance: 800
Attributes
Strength: 64
Dexterity: 100
Constitution: 100
Intelligence: 100
Wisdom: 1003
Stat Points: 15
Attributes Drained
+14,741 HP

+66 Str
+37 Dex
+71 Con
+207 Int
+103 Wis
Note: These stats are permanent as long as you use Vampire’s Might at least once in the next 7 days and once a week after. If you do not find another creature to drain within the next 7 days these stats will be lost at a rate of 3.33% a day until the end of a full month when your stats will return to normal.
As you drain targets, the benefits you receive will depend primarily on the purity of the source. Once your stats have reached a certain level, you will not be able to drain from low-level creatures to improve stats, only to sustain them.
If no stats are lost in a year’s time, they will become yours permanently without having to continue to use Vampire’s Might. All attribute gains through use on multiple targets of Vampire’s Might stack. The one-year timer does not start over with each gain of more stats. Each creature drained starts a separate timer.

Due to the relationship between fast twitch muscles responsible for Dexterity and how they help when lifting heavy objects, for every 5 points of Strength, it will be as if you have an additional point of Dex.

You are now able to lift things 10% heavier. Because it is so much easier for you to handle lighter weight, all damage with melee weapons is increased by an additional 10%

This +25 is included in all damage and skill calculations but does not apply to Leveling Bonuses.
