Notes

Any investment to the attributes has a linear diminishing returns: in other words, with the same absolute increase of the parameter, percentage increase with each attachment point is becoming less and less. This fact suggests that the most reasonable to allocate the available points between two or three different attributes, as returns from such investments is 15-20% higher than if we invest all points in one attribute.

The attribute "vitality" (and constitution skill) offers the highest percentage health points increase for the characters with low base attribute "vitality", i.e. Dryad and High Elf.

The formula for the total value of the attribute:

BaseAtt*(M1+M2) + n

where M1 - the percentage bonus, granted by survival bonus, 0% < M1 < 33.3%;

M2 - the percentage bonus, granted by equipment;

n - increasing attribute in points (from equipment or activated shortbuffs or buffs).
