'''Attributes''' are six defining statistics that represent the core of your main character (MC) and have a significant impact on many of the things you undertake in Masters of Raana.

In Masters of Raana, you take the role of a male protagonist that's recently inherited a large house from his disappeared brother. That makes you one of the lucky ones. The world of Raana is harsh and unforgiving, where might and influence determine who you are and how the future will remember you.
And the future is truly yours. Masters of Raana is an open-world with endless possibilities. There are no guiding hands or set goals and there is no end except when you choose to quit. Your background is also highly customizable during the character creation progress and your choices there affect how the inhabitants of Ikaanos perceive and remember you.
Masters of Raana features an advanced old-school skill system. There are no levels - you get better at the skills you actually use, and you can further tune your character's focus with skill books, personal trainers, and by taking courses at the academy. |
Attributes[edit | edit source]
Attributes are six defining statistics that represent the core of your main character (MC) and have a significant impact on many of the things you undertake in Masters of Raana. Each Skill is dependent on an attribute, and in some cases, attributes give a small boost to every skill check you undertake during gameplay. Basic actions such as breaking down a door (Strength), jumping or climbing (Dexterity), or enduring a sexual orgy (Stamina) are all determined solely by an attribute check, whereas more advanced actions such as gambling, hacking computers, or firing a weapon are determined by a skill check.
