Stats are utilized in various IC events, the most notable being duels. They can be gained through IC events and though the pack leveling system. The different Stats and their purpose are as follows.
*It should be noted that pack statistics are used for purposes within the pack and, at the time, are not applicable to interactions with rogues and other packs unless otherwise noted.

Strength (STR)

• A measure of a wolf's raw strength. Wolves with a high STR have strong attacks. This stat is most notably used in duels when a character is attacking.
  Defense (DEF)
  
• A measure of a wolf's defense in response to attacks. Wolves with a high DEF are able to withstand attacks, whether it be from blocking or from evading. This stat is most notably used in duels when a character is being attacked.
  Stamina (STA)
  
• A measure of a wolf's stamina. Wolves with a high STA are able to endure physical tasks for longer. This stat is most notably used in duels as a sort of HP measurement, but can also be seen other physical contests.
  Speed (SPE)
  
• A measure of a wolf's raw speed. Wolves with a high SPE are quick on their feet. This stat is most notable used in duels to determine who attacks first, but is also seen on other physical contests.
  Perception (PER)
  
• A measure of a wolf's ability to perceive what is going on around them. Wolves with a high PER are attuned to their senses. While this stat isn't seen in duels, it can be used in other IC contests and events that involve activities such as hunting or scouting.
  Wisdom (WIS)
  
• A measure of a wolf's mental capabilities. Wolves with a high WIS are mentally strong in various fields. While this stat isn't seen in duels, it can be used in various contest and events that revolve around other pack professions.
  
  
  Gaining Stats
  
• All wolves that join the pack ICly as adults start with a base 10 in all stats.
  
• Wolves that are born in the pack start with a base 10 in all stats when they reach adulthood, plus bonus points that the player may choose to allocate how they wish with the IC implication that the youth was an apprentice under a specific profession. This bonus is increased if the apprenticeship was RPd at any point. A pup may apprentice in up to three apprenticeships via RPs, though one will be a 'primary' apprenticeship and the other two will be 'secondary' apprenticeships. The bonuses are as follows:
  
  • One bonus point is awarded to all pups as they age up and are posted with any apprenticeship, whether or not they are RPd. This bonus point may be applied to any stat. This also applies to adult wolves that were ICly born into the pack, but OOCly joined as adults.
    
  • If a youth posts a RP in which they apprentice as a warrior, they gain an additional one point each for STR, DEF, and STA if this is a primary apprenticeship, or one point for STR if this is a secondary apprenticeship.
    
  • If a youth posts a RP in which they apprentice as a healer, they gain an additional one point each for SPE, PER, and WIS if this is a primary apprenticeship, or one point for PER if this is a secondary apprenticeship.
    
  • If a youth posts a RP in which they apprentice as a caretaker, they gain an additional one point each for STA, PER, and WIS if this is a primary apprenticeship, or one point for STA if this is a secondary apprenticeship.
    
  • If a youth posts a RP in which they apprentice as a historian, they gain an additional one point for PER and two points for WIS if this is a primary apprenticeship, or one point for WIS if this is a secondary apprenticeship.
    
  • Due to the aging timeline in Kells, an apprenticeship RP can be backlogged. You have THREE MONTHS from the receiving of a pup to RP an apprenticeship, with the RP being backlogged to the wolf's youth.

• Bonus points will be awarded as a wolf 'Levels Up.' For this information, see the 'Levels' post.
  
• Bonus points will be awarded in IC events.
  
• All points must be posted for, as they will be kept track of in a master post. See below for the forms for the various stat claims. Open the spoiler for examples of each post.

Levels are gained from experience points and/or RPing. Experience points are gained from duels (see the 'Duels' post) or from events. As a wolf gains levels, they gain a bonus to their statistics. See below for a breakdown of the levels, their prerequisites, and their perks.


• As a wolf gains levels, it needs to acquire new EXP and RPs. That is to say: the EXP or RPs used to grow a wolf to level 2 cannot be used to grow the wolf to level 3.
  
• For leveling purposes, a non-dueling RP must be an RP or SRP with 500 words, or an ORP in which a wolf has posted 500 words.
  
• If a wolf has excess prerequisites, the excess will be carried over to the next level (I.e., if a wolf is growing to level 2 with 5 EXP points and 2 non-duel RPs, it will have 1 excess EXP that can be used for the next level.

Duels are commonplace within the pack. They utilize STR, DEF, STA, and SPE stats. As such, official duels that use this format may only take place between adult members of the pack. See the following page/s for an example duel.

How to Duel

• Post the following code in the first post of the duel:
  
  [size=14][b]Let's D-d-duel![/b][/size]
  [size=11][b]Wolf 1:[/b] [Name] played by [Username]
  [b]Level:[/b]
  [b]Wolf 2:[/b] [Name] played by [Username]
  [b]Level:[/b][/size]
  
  
• Post the following in each of the wolves' first IC posts:
  
  [b]STR:[/b] [Strength Stat value]
  [b]DEF:[/b] [Defense Stat value]
  [b]STA:[/b] [Stamina Stat value]
  [b]SPE:[/b] [Speed Stat value]
  
  
• The wolf with the higher SPE stat attacks first.
  
• An attack post contains a random number between 1 and the wolf's STR stat, and an IC post.
  
• The following post is a defense roll from the other post, where the defending wolf rolls a random number between 1 and the wolf's DEF stat, There is no IC reply in this post. The defense roll is subtracted from the attacking roll..
  
  • If the resulting number is less than 1, no damage is taken. To make the RP more interesting, the attack can have hit, but the wolf would have brushed the attack off and taken no damage.
    
  • If the resulting number is 1 or above, that number is subtracted from the wolf's STA
    
  • Feel free to vary how hard a hit was ICly based on how much damage was taken!
  
  
• The following post is a response from the defending wolf, where they damage. The wolf also attacks, rolling a random number between 1 and the wolf's STR stat, and an IC response is posted.
  
• This continues until one wolf's STA reaches zero.
  
  Gaining Stats
  
• The Losing wolf gains 1 EXP
  
• The winning wolf gains 3 EXP if their level is lower than the opponent
  
• The winning wolf gains 2 EXP if their level is equal to their opponent
  
• The winning wolf gains 1 EXP if their level is higher than their opponent
  
• To officially gain the EXP, post the following at the end of the RP and I will post who gains how much EXP:
