What character ability scores will be at a players disposal?
Jade Empire has six ability scores: three primary and three secondary. Primary abilities set the starting value for secondary abilities, but the two aren’t identical, and you can raise either as you progress through the game. The primary abilities are drawn straight from Chinese tradition: Body, Mind, and Spirit. Each of these ability scores is tied to specific conversation skills, so a character with a high Body is able to intimidate people, while a character with a high Mind is able to persuade them. These primary abilities also affect the three secondary abilities of Health, Focus, and Chi. Health is a measure of your character’s ability to take physical punishment–your hit points. Focus is rooted in the character’s Mind and reflects your ability to enter “Focus mode”, which slows opponents down during combat, and lets you race around the environment while exploring. Finally, Chi is the total of the character’s magic energy and powers certain styles, heals wounds, and dishes out sp
