Stats

Stats (short for Statistics) is an umbrella term for all quantifiable data related to a Dark Souls III character.

See also: Wikipedia: Statistic (role-playing games)

Attributes

Attributes directly control most of the other character related stats. They can be increased by talking to the Fire Keeper in the Firelink Shrine and spending souls to level up. A character's level is the sum of its attributes minus 89 (E.G. a level one character, starting with the Deprived Class, has a combined total of 90 points distributed over all primary attributes).
