For an additional source check the XP Table on the Dragon Age Wikia. As for which skills to obtain, Coercion is a good choice, for obvious reasons, but I personally off-loaded most 'crafting' skills to other party members saving my main character's skill points for combat training, tactics and survival - but then I was a rogue so had more. The skill calculator allows you to choose the skills in advance of your characters.

For Dragon Age: Inquisition on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Updated skill calculator?' Just wondering if anyone has found a skill calculator anywhere online. I really enjoy planning/mapping out my build ahead of time. New Dragon Age 4 concept art posted by Christian Dailey.

The following is a list of measurable statistics for playable characters which may be found throughout the Dragon Quest series. Other than normal level progression, there are seeds that can enhance a character's capabilities.

Hit Points[edit]

Hit Points (HP) determine how much health a character has remaining. All damage subtracts from this score, and if it reaches 0, the character can no longer participate in battle, and must be revived. HP can be restored via medicinal herbs, healing spells, resting at an inn, etc.

In Dragon Quest III and IV, Resilience directly determines your character's maximum Hit Points. The more a character's Resilience score increases upon leveling, the more Hit Points a character will receive upon the next level increase. In all other titles the maximum HP a character has is generally determined by their level and, if applicable, vocation. Martial artists, warriors, and paladins have the highest HP on average.

Any character can consume a seed of life to increase their maximum HP.

Magic Points[edit]

Magic Points (MP) determine how much mana a character can expend to cast spells. Each spell deducts from this pool at a set rate, and cannot be cast if MP is too low. Some very special spells like Magic Burst will consume all remaining MP when cast. Starting with Dragon Quest VI, skills were introduced that also consumed MP.

In all versions of III, and IV, Wisdom directly determines your character's maximum Magic Points, paralleling the Resilience stat. In all other titles the maximum MP a character has is determined by their level and, if applicable, vocation. Prior to Dragon Quest VI, non-magical characters had no MP pools as they had no use for them, but with the addition of skills, most characters began accumulating an MP pool even if they never learned actual spells.

Any character can consume a seed of magic to increase their maximum MP.

Strength[edit]

Strength measures how physically strong a character is, and is added to a character's weapon bonus in determining damage inflicted upon an enemy. In later installments, some skills depend on Strength for determining damage output, ignoring if a weapon is equipped.

Any character can consume a seed of strength to increase this attribute.

Resilience[edit]

Resilience (formerly localized as Vitality) measures how durable a character is. Resilience is added to a character's equipment defense in determining how much physical damage they endure when struck. Any character can consume a seed of resilience to increase this attribute

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

In all versions of III, Resilience determines a character's potential Hit Points. The maximum Hit Points at any time is between 195~205% of the character's Resilience score.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]

In the NES and PSX versions of the game, Resilience acts as it does in III. As of the DS port, the stat has been modified to influence defence directly.

Agility[edit]

Agility determines a character's priority in turns, utilizing a Gaussian Curve with simple calculations. In the NES versions of the first four games, as well as all versions of Dragon Quest III, agility also contributes to the character's innate defence. If a character has no armour or other defensive gear equipped in these titles, then their defence will be half (50%) of their agility. Any character can consume a seed of agility to increase this attribute.

Dragon Quest[edit]

Turn order is strictly dependent on the enemy in the NES version, with a 100%, 50%, 37.5%, and 25% chance for them to strike first.

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line[edit]

(Agility/2) + N, with N being 0~255. NES version only.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

(Agility + 20) * (N/256), with N being a random number between 0~255.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]

Currently unknown.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit]

SNES version is calculated as Agility * (75 + N * 26/256)/100, with N being 0~255.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

All versions are calculated as (Agility + 20) * (N/100), with N being 50~100.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]

The original and remake use the same algorithm as found in VI.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]

Turn order calculation is slightly tweaked, with enemy agility directly involved in the algorithm instead of just being measured against. The chance for a character to act is (ally Agility)/(enemy Agility) * 50, with the result being converted to a percentage.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]

Turn order is calculated the same way as in VIII.

Dragon Quest X[edit]

The tenth game operates in real time, so players can act as quickly as they can input commands. Agility reduces the interval between actions, which is the period of time between when an action is executed and when the command window appears again to input another command.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]

Currently unknown.

Wisdom[edit]

Wisdom (formerly localized as Intelligence) measures a character's natural cognitive ability. Any character can consume a seed of wisdom to increase this attribute.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

In III Wisdom determines a character's potential Magic Points, with the maximum at any time being 195~205% of the Wisdom stat. Additionally, the stat determined how quickly a character could learn a new spell: learning a spell could be delayed or expedited by up to five levels. This aspect was reduced in subsequent versions of the two games, with the influence being three levels at most.
