[[File:stats_icon.png|140px|right]]A creature has numerous '''attributes''' which affect its performance at various tasks, split into physical factors associated with the body, and mental factors associated with the [[soul]].

Body Attributes can be viewed in the creature's Health -> Description screen. Soul Attributes can be viewed in the creature's Personality -> Traits screen. Positive attributes are shown in green, negative attributes are shown in red, and average attributes are omitted. Said attributes may be listed as follows (may have to be highlighted to be seen):<br />
{{DFtext|He is slow to tire and agile, |2:0}}{{DFtext|but he is quite susceptible to disease.|4:0}}

Attributes are associated with skills, so that shield use will raise endurance as an attribute, but not attributes like memory. Different attributes raised by one skill may not be raised by the same amount. Attribute and skill gain and rust rates are moddable in the raws as a [[creature token]].

Attributes can be viewed for individual dwarves by selecting ({{k|v}}iew dwarves, {{k|z}}, {{k|enter}}), or by going to the ({{k|u}}nits menu, {{k|v}}iew, then {{k|enter}}).

== Descriptions ==
In-game attribute descriptions are calculated based on the difference from the [[creature|species]] average<!-- caste average? -->. [[Human]]s' median attribute values are always 1000. Thus, if the median [[dwarf]] has higher than 1000 for an attribute, that means the median dwarf is better than the median human for that attribute (however, individual humans may be better than individual dwarves due to intraspecies variation). Likewise, if the median dwarf has below 1000 for an attribute, then the median human bests the median dwarf in that contest.

The tiers at which descriptions change are 250, 500, 750, and 1000 above or below the species median. Interestingly, if a species has an attribute with a median below 1000, such as dwarves' agility, the lowest tier will never be displayed.

These descriptions are not used in [[adventurer mode]].

== Body attributes ==
The attribute values given in the tables correspond to default racial averages for dwarves only. Modded dwarves or any other creature will report the same phrases, but the underlying numbers may be very different, as they are calculated based on the species average. In almost every case, a higher attribute value is better, as opposed to [[personality trait]]s where one may prefer higher or lower depending on the situation.

=== Strength ===
Alters the damage done in melee (increases velocity of weapon swings), increases muscle mass (a thicker muscle layer also resists damage more), and increases how much a creature can carry. Higher strength also increases the speed of fast [[gait]]s in most creatures, including running, soaring, galloping, and fast swimming, however, proportionate gains in muscle mass can eventually reduce speed enough to overtake the gains (more so with larger creatures than dwarves). The dwarven median of 1250 is higher than average.

{| class=wikitable style="width:400px;"
! Value
! Description
|-
| 2250&ndash;5000 || unbelievably strong
|-
| 2000&ndash;2249 || mighty
|-
| 1750&ndash;1999 || very strong
|-

| 501&ndash;750   || very weak
|-
| 251&ndash;500   || unquestionably weak
|-
| 0&ndash;250 || unfathomably weak
|}

===Agility===
This attribute affects the speed of a creature's fast-moving [[gait]]s in the same way as strength &mdash; a creature with maximum agility and strength can run faster than a creature with minimum agility and strength. The median dwarf agility of 900 is slightly below average.

Because dwarves in general have below-average agility, and because the descriptions are based on the difference from the racial average, no dwarves will ever display as "abysmally clumsy".

{| class=wikitable style="width:400px;"
! Value
! Description
|-

===Disease resistance===
Reduces the risk of contracting [[syndrome]]s, and their negative effects when active, including the [[alcohol]]-induced ones. The dwarven median disease resistance of 1000 is exactly the human average. Having a disease resistance of 5000 does not grant immunities.

==Soul attributes==
The attribute values given in the tables correspond to default racial averages for dwarves only. Modded dwarves or any other creature will report the same phrases, but the underlying numbers may be very different. In almost every case, a higher attribute value is better, as opposed to [[personality trait]]s where one may prefer higher or lower depending on the situation.

From [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=60554.msg1413312#msg1413312 this post by Toady One]:
<blockquote>
With respect to skills: most of these attributes only affect duration, when that is the only available skill effect to begin with, but they are factored into outcomes when it applies.

At the [[#Skills By Soul Attribute|bottom]] is a list of which attributes affect which skills. [[:Image:DFmental.PNG|This]] pair of charts provides an easier to read summary of the soul attributes that are useful for doctors and soldiers.

===Memory===
The dwarven median memory of 1250 is slightly above the human average. 

Or, at least, that was the case until recently. Elves, Humans, and goblins now have 5000-5000-5000-5000-5000 - completely maxed out by default in the current Steam release (50.04). The poor dwarves are presumably too addled by drink to perform cognitively at that level in front of such a large audience. Or maybe it has something to do with Vitamin D (for Dwarf) deficiency: at present, the only intelligent, civilization-forming creatures without maxed-out memory attributes are the ones who are known to embrace a subterranean existence - kobolds, dwarves, etc. Coincidence? I think not.

Notes:
*Skills have both Primary attributes (labeled "A") and Secondary attributes (labeled "B" and "C"). Primary attributes give a bonus for every 100 points, while secondary attributes give a bonus for every 250 points.
*Spatial Sense and Kinesthetic Sense are almost everywhere
*Nothing trains Disease Resistance or Recuperation
*Intimidator and Comedian, both social skills, raise Agility. Dwarven comedy is slapstick/clowning, not stand-up.
*Student skill doesn't boost skill gain except for teacher-student relations in a barracks
*Choose high-volume labors that train useful attributes for militia day-jobs/bootcamp
*Fishing, Siege Operating, and Record Keeping are useful for marksdwarves as they train the Focus attribute
*Hunting (ambusher/sneak) has identical attribute gain to Crossbow and Archer skills

== Dwarf attributes ==

Each attribute is a number between 0 and 5000, but in dwarven terms anything below 200 is rare [http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=5882] and anything above 2500 is extraordinary. In the default raws (/raw/objects/creature_standard.txt), dwarven attributes come in four levels. 

Focus and Spatial Sense are referred to as "++", or two steps above default. Their range is defined as [700:1200:1400:1500:1600:1800:2500], which sets out six ranges: 700-1200, 1200-1400, etc. Dwarves have an equal chance of dropping into any of these ranges, and an equal probability again of getting any number in that range. So the bottom one-sixth of your dwarves will be really low, the top one-sixth really high, and the two-thirds in the middle huddled around average. This also means that the median and the mean are slightly different: the mean for ++ is 1516.66... while median is 1500.

Strength, Toughness, Analytical Ability, Creativity, Patience, and Memory are +, or one step above default. Their ranges are [450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250], and their mean is 1266.66...

Endurance, Disease Resistance, Recuperation, Intuition, Willpower, Kinesthetic Sense, Linguistic Ability, Musicality, Empathy, and Social Awareness are AVG, or the default. Their ranges are not specified in the raws, but they are [200:700:900:1000:1100:1300:2000] for Physical and [200:800:900:1000:1100:1300:2000] for Mental.

Agility is "-", the only attribute to be below default. Its ranges are [150:600:800:900:1000:1100:1500], mean 862.5, median 900.

== Training attributes == 

It would seem that various skills train various attributes at different rates. For physical attributes and Willpower, military training works best - it relatively quickly gives a dwarf some extra Agility and Strength, making them walk and work faster in all areas (According to [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121573.msg3944723#msg3944723] speed is a factor in determining how fast a labour is completed).  

According to [https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/zquv8f/psa_you_can_build_a_gym_for_your_military_with/] Reddit post, strength and stamina can be trained via screw pumps reasonably quickly. The pumps don't have to be adjacent to any liquids, and dwarves will still operate them, pumping air.

Plant gathering trains Agility, Kinesthetic Sense, and Memory to a lesser degree. After a couple of years, plant gatherers become the faster dwarves in the fortress and are generally suitable for transfer to any demanding job.

Attributes are capped in Adventure mode and probably also in dwarf mode. Those caps are governed by {{token|MENT_ATT_CAP_PERC}} and {{token|PHYS_ATT_CAP_PERC}}. By default the maximum attribute values (barring increases from vampirism and other interactions) are governed by the starting value as well as the median for that caste (that is the middle value in {{token|PHYS_ATT_RANGE}}, for example 1000 for most attributes for dwarves). 
attribute_cap = starting_value + max {starting_value, median} 

The speed of learning attributes is governed by "cost to improve" in {{token|PHYS_ATT_RATES}} and {{token|MENT_ATT_RATES}}. By default CTI for attributes is 500, which means the counter for using that attribute has to be incremented 500 times for the dwarf to gain 1 in that attribute. The lower the CTI, the faster an attribute increases. According to [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=66525.msg3993120#msg3993120] the counter is incremented every ten ticks a skill using that attribute is in use. This means it takes 5000 TUs or just over 4 in-game days of continuous labour to improve an attribute by 1. The improved attribute gain from military training may stem from the fact that sparring and individual combat drills train multiple skills at the same time.

==Standard ranges==

The game comes pre-stocked with several sets of attribute ranges, some better than others. The signs that come after the numeral ranges indicate what level that range represents, but have no effect in and of themselves.
