"Neus" Wrote:Q. How does stat point distribution work?
A. This is a rather important question so I decided to address it first. The way it works is, you have a number of stat points that can be allocated in any amount to any stat you choose. You receive 3 stat points (currently) per level, including your first level, for a total of 180 points that can be freely distributed. Which might make you think, 'why don't I just max my damage stat and one shot people? Not very different from now, is it?'. It's true you can freely distribute these points, but there are a few caveats.

• Diminishing returns. The effect of points in a specific stat decreases in effect after you distribute 40 points into it; every point into, say, VIT beyond your racial base + 40 are only half effective. If VIT gave me 10 HP per point, this would mean once I hit that cap, it starts giving me 5 HP instead.
  
• You can only distribute up to 80 points into a single stat, making your base cap 80 + racial base.

So, you could definitely sink 80 points into your main damage stat if you wanted to, if you're willing to sacrifice point efficiency for extra damage. However, by giving you a realistic 'fall off' point, it feels less bad to avoid doing so.
