    Skill Change Proposals
    At the moment, each point in each skill gives the following:



    Current Situation

    Adding strength (str emphasizes survivability, at the expense of damage)
    - Each str point gives you 0.02 dmg per hit, so you need 50 points of str for 1 extra dmg
    - Each str point gives you 0.03 crit, so you need 33.33 (recurring number) points of str for 1% extra crit
    - Each str point gives you 0.025 dodge, you you need 40 points of str for 1% more dodge
    - Each str point gives you 0.02 H/S, so you need 50 points of str for 1 H/S more
    - Each str point gives you 0.05 armor, so you need 20 points of str for 1 armour more (this one is unverified)
    - Str points also increase your hp reserves. Every 2 points of str increases your hp by 1, rounded down.

    Adding dex (dex emphasizes maximum weapons damage at the expense of survivability and mana)
    - Each dex point gives you 0.15 dmg per hit, so you need 6.67 points of dex for 1 extra dmg
    - Each dex point gets you 0.167% hit, so you need 6 dex for 1% more hit
    - Each dex point gets you 0.032 crit, so you need 31.25 points of dex for 1% more crit
    - Each dex point gets you 0.0125 dodge, so you need 80 points of dex for 1% extra dodge
    - Each dex point gives you 0.01 H/S, so you need 100 points of dex for 1 H/S more
    - Each dex point gives you 0.025 armor, so you need 40 points of dex for 1 armour more

    Adding int (int is like a compromise between everything)
    - Each int point gives you 0.08 dmg per hit, so you need 12.5 points of int for 1 extra dmg
    - Each int point gets you 0.1% hit, so you need 10 int for 1% more hit
    - Each int point gets you 0.02 crit, so you need 50 points of int for 1% more crit
    - Each int point gets you 0.005 dodge, so you need 200 points of int for 1% extra dodge
    - Each int point gets you 0.005 h/s, so you need 200 points of int for 1 h/s more
    - Each int point gets you 0.02 m/s, so you need 50 points of int for 1 m/s more
    - This one is not yet confirmed, but every 2 points of int increases your mana reserve by about 1 (the game seems to have some oddities with rounding)


    Proposals
    I motion for the following to be changed:

    Strength
    - Each str point gives you 0.03 crit, so you need 33.33 (recurring number) points of str for 1% extra crit
    - Each str point gives you 0.025 dodge, you you need 40 points of str for 1% more dodge

    I propose that this be changed with instead
    - Each str point gives you 0.1 armor, so you need 10 points of str for 1 armour more

    Dex
    - Each dex point gets you 0.032 crit, so you need 31.25 points of dex for 1% more crit
    - Each dex point gets you 0.0125 dodge, so you need 80 points of dex for 1% extra dodge

    I propose that this be changed to:
    - Dex points also increase your hp reserves. Every 2 points of dex increases your hp by 1, rounded down.

    Int
    - Each int point gets you 0.02 crit, so you need 50 points of int for 1% more crit
    - Each int point gets you 0.005 dodge, so you need 200 points of int for 1% extra dodge

    I propose that this be changed to:
    - Int points also increase your hp reserves. Every 2 points of int increases your hp by 1, rounded down.



    So after my proposed changes, the skills add
    - Each str point gives you 0.02 dmg per hit, so you need 50 points of str for 1 extra dmg
    - Each str point gives you 0.02 H/S, so you need 50 points of str for 1 H/S more
    - Each str point gives you 0.1 armor, so you need 10 points of str for 1 armour more
    - Str points also increase your hp reserves. Every 2 points of str increases your hp by 1, rounded down.

    Adding dex (dex emphasizes maximum weapons damage at the expense of survivability and mana)
    - Each dex point gives you 0.15 dmg per hit, so you need 6.67 points of dex for 1 extra dmg
    - Each dex point gets you 0.167% hit, so you need 6 dex for 1% more hit
    - Each dex point gives you 0.01 H/S, so you need 100 points of dex for 1 H/S more
    - Each dex point gives you 0.025 armor, so you need 40 points of dex for 1 armour more
    - Dex points also increase your hp reserves. Every 2 points of dex increases your hp by 1, rounded down.

    Adding int (int is like a compromise between everything)
    - Each int point gives you 0.08 dmg per hit, so you need 12.5 points of int for 1 extra dmg
    - Each int point gets you 0.1% hit, so you need 10 int for 1% more hit
    - Each int point gets you 0.005 h/s, so you need 200 points of int for 1 h/s more
    - Each int point gets you 0.02 m/s, so you need 50 points of int for 1 m/s more
    - This one is not yet confirmed, but every 2 points of int increases your mana reserve by about 1 (the game seems to have some oddities with rounding)
    - Int points also increase your hp reserves. Every 2 points of int increases your hp by 1, rounded down.


    Why?
    The point of this is to first, give a bit more health to the different classes, and to make strength a bit more of a "pure damage" oriented class.

    The other issue is that I took away crit and dodge. Under my proposed changes, this would be needed since crit and dodge now are useful beyond the cap, so it's best to make sure that it's provided purely as a result of equipment. This leaves room for future cap increases and makes it easier to balance the classes.
