Stats are the player attributes in Dark Souls. They can be increased up to a level of 99. Increasing any stat will also increase the players Physical Defense, as well as the Magic, Flame and Lightning Defense. At around level 80 the player won't get increases in all defense stats, rather just a few of the defense stats each level (i.e. physical defense one level, and the next level flame and magic defense).

To all you people who say raising resistance is a waste; I'd like to see you fight 10 basilisks in a small room >:D

Would be great if I didn’t need to go to Reddit to see what Attributes affect under their shown effects

So I got DS for 360 awhile ago as a free download and finally got around to giving it a go. I've only been playing for a couple of days and am just now finding these guides and build suggestions. According to what I've gone though on here in the last couple of hours, I lucked out and chose the right class and gift (Pyromancer and Master Key); but have also made some grave errors in my leveling. Vitality - 15 Attunement - 13 Endurance - 16 Strength - 20 Dexterity - 15 Resistance - 20 Intelligence - 12 Faith - 12 Should I slightly modify a build and just stop leveling certain categories, or just start a new game file?

I have a couple of questions. First what are the soft caps for strength and dext? 40 like dark souls 3? Is it worth going past that if you are already meeting the weapon requirements?
Second, how important is Resistance? I am leveling up and every other stat seems to do the same job improving the defences so why resistance?

Obvious question is... Can a player reset their stat points in Dark Souls Remastered?

Check this. May be either godlike hardcore or something special

More details on humanity03 May 2016 19:33
Hi I'm a huge fan of dark souls and every time i play this game i happen to stumble on some new information to help me to the next game play through. I'm currently on my 6th or 7th run and I'm currently level 227, I noticed while i was leveling up my character today that humanity is at the bottom of the skills list that you may choose to level. I have seen it many times and never thought too much about it, (due to the fact that you can not scroll on it or click it) until now. I was curious to know if having more humanity displayed in the number counter in the top left of the screen has any direct affect on leveling your character. An example i could give to best clarify would be, does having more humanity in the counter increase stats higher than if i had lower or no humanity in my counter? I haven't noticed a difference while leveling but I'm not a hundred percent on this theory if someone could clarify this better for me i would much appreciate it. Humanity has a lot more purposes than i have been aware of and i don't won't to miss out on making my character as strong as i can.

The star links don’t work on mobile devices for some reason while all other links on this site work. Any fix for that?
