Statistics
Every vampire has four stats. Each has one job, and none can be left behind: the fights in the Arena, at the Gate and on the hunt weigh each stat against your others.
Your Lifeforce, and nothing else. Your maximum Lifeforce is (level × 1.25 + 25) × Stamina. In a fight it never counts for less than a small floor for your level.
Strength
Your damage. Harder blows, and your weapon lands harder the larger Strength stands against your other stats (from half to one and a half times its power).
Agility
Speed and evasion. More of the turns in a fight (between about a third and two thirds of them), and a chance to dodge that grows as Agility rises above your other stats.
Endurance
Armour of the flesh. It turns aside a share of every blow you take: about a third when it matches your other stats, up to 55% above them. Neglect it, and blows land up to 40% harder.
Your gear's power, enchantments, potions, your companion familiar and your coven's districts add to all of this. Every percentage bonus is counted in full up to +50%, at half rate after that, and never above +80%.
• The Insomniac Gym (Train) raises Strength, Agility and Endurance with Gym Reps. Your reps refill every night to level × 5 + 201. Time your lifts in the minigame for the best gains. The coven that holds Blood & Iron trains 15% better there.
• Gear and enchantments add stats on top. See Gear.
• A Pink Vial resets all four stats to 5 and gives the points back as AP.
After level 500, every 75,000,000 Blood earns a Paragon rank (Paragon). Each rank is a point you can bind, for gold, to a small boost that only works against the wilds and in your trade: Bloodline (+1% hunting Blood), Avarice (+1% hunting gold), Craftsmanship (+2% job experience) or Bond (+2% familiar experience), each up to 25 points. Paragon never adds stats or power in the Arena. Ranks 10, 50, 100 and 250 bring the titles Paragon, Exalted, Ascendant and Eternal, and every rank past 100 earns a Paragon Mark for Paragon-only cosmetics or to tithe to your coven.
• Hunting Skill: how deep you can hunt (three steps a level).
• Dredging Skill and your job levels: see Dredging and Professions and crafting.
• Age: one year for every night since you joined.

Level, Blood and Paragon
Blood is your experience. Each level needs level × level × 300 Blood. You can climb to level 500.After level 500, every 75,000,000 Blood earns a Paragon rank (Paragon).
