Stats that are as important as the default ones but are hidden for gameplay reasons.

The exact values aren't usually shown to the player, but their global effects on the character are displayed when needed (Thirsty, Tired, etc).

Links to various important stats: Hunger, Thirst, Stamina, Fatigue, Scent, Health, Speed, Stim, Pain

Radiation

Default value: 0

Cash

  • Cash represents your bank account balance from before the Cataclysm.
  • It can't be used directly, but you can access your account via ATM machines, and charge a cash card for later use.
  • Pre-Cataclysm money is a relic of the past and will not be accepted by many factions. Vending machines don't have that problem, but you need a pre-charged cash card to pay for the goods.
  • Default value: random, varying from -20,000$ (debt) to +20,000$ (post 0.D (Danny))
  • Some traits may influence starting cash.

Recoil

Default value: 0

Driving recoil

Oxygen

Default value: 0

Active mission

Default value: -1

In vehicle

Default value: false

This tracks whether or not you're in a vehicle. You may notice the UI changing to reflect vehicle stats, etc: hidden stat at work!  :-)

Style selected

Default value: "null"

Last item

Default value: itype_id("null")

Underwater

Default value: false

Whether or not the character is presently underwater. This makes the character difficult to see for non-underwater critters, generally restricts sight, and makes oxygen an important thing.

Dodges left

Default value: 1

Generally, you can only Dodge one attack per turn. Some martial arts styles teach dodging, and can therefore grant bonus attempts to Dodge. Zui Quan is notorious for granting functionally unlimited dodges (40, actually) once you've scored a hit.

(That breaks down as dodging 5 attacks from each of the 8 surrounding tiles. If you're attacked more than 40 times in one turn without something like a shocker attack or other paralysis involved, let us know!)

Blocks left

Default value: 1

You can usually only block one attack per turn. Certain martial arts styles lend themselves to blocking, and permit additional blocks or can grant buff-effects that do. Check your character screen!

Power level

Default value: 0

Your power level is how much power you have at the moment, bionics gained from using a CBM use power

Max power level

Default value: 0

Your max power level defines how much power for bionics you can store at the moment
