Stat: Definition

Stats are a new addition, used only in electronic CYOA. They are particularly important to storygames that use trunking, as they can change the outcome of a decision that is based on the of the stats, adding much more interest and diversity of choice, a problem that such CYOA often have trouble with.

Stats can be anything from physical traits (strength, speed) and mental traits (willpower, charm) to items (money, weapons) and how you are perceived by NPCs (romance development, trust).
