	Stat traits will affect your current stats, but more importantly, the maximum points you will be able to place in specific stat as you level up. For instance, the "Agile" trait costs 6 points and gives you 5 dexterity, but it also increases your maximum dexterity by 5.

For instance, the "Agile" trait costs 6 points and gives you 5 dexterity, but it also increases your maximum dexterity by 5.

	This is important for your character's future because, once you are in the game world, you may find even better runes to use, and they will have prerequisites as well. If you do not have a maximum stat value of 85 (75 for Humans and Elves) or more, you will not be able to take advantage of those in-game runes.

	This subject deserves its own article because most decisions you make during the character creation process cannot be undone once you are finished. Later, if you decide that you want to change one of these decisions, you will have to make a brand new character and start over (this is called "re-rolling"). When a character is at a permanent disadvantage to their peers, they are referred to as "gimp". An example would be choosing a starting trait that grants a bonus to your sword-wielding ability on a character that uses a bow. This is why it is important to plan out your character as much as possible, or at least avoid making choices that lock you into a specific path.
