An attribute shows some capability of the player.

Six basic attributes

These are the six basic attributes, as in Dungeons and Dragons:

  1. strength
  2. dexterity
  3. constitution
  4. intelligence
  5. wisdom
  6. charisma

Training attributes

As you play NetHack, you will see messages such as:

  • You feel strong! You must have been exercising.
  • You feel agile! You must have been working on your reflexes.
  • You feel tough! You must be leading a healthy life-style.

These indicate an increase in strength, dexterity, and constitution respectively. Strength attributes come from exercise; NetHack will periodically check and adjust your stats, upward or downward.

For example, the pushing of boulders exercises your strength; some players become stronger as they play Sokoban.

Other traits of the player

These are important, though you might choose to avoid calling them attributes.
