Kingdom Come Deliverance Skills

It’s not entirely unfair to compare Kingdom Come Deliverance to the likes of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, especially when its upgrade systems basically work in the same way.

• Alchemy - Used for brewing potions.
• Drinking - Toughens you against the effects of Alcohol.



• Herbalism - Allows you to collect more Herbs with a single action.
• Horsemanship - Governs your horse’s stamina and how often it’ll rear up.

Kingdom Come Deliverance Stats Guide

Under the main Stats tab of Kingdom Come Deliverance, you’ll find all the statistics of Henry, the protagonist of the Medieval adventure. Just below, you can find a complete list of all the major stats in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, as well as how each one affects the way Henry plays:

• Strength - The stronger you are, the less stamina you use up during combat, and the further you can sprint. On top of this, Strength increases the capacity of your inventory, affecting how much Henry can carry at once.



• Agility - Simply put, Agility is a measure of your speed. Not only can you move faster with a higher Agility statistic, but you also have an increased chance of avoiding enemy attacks entirely, and you’ll also be more accurate with Bows.
• Vitality - Increased through simply running and climbing, Vitality affects Henry’s overall stamina, the rate at which it regenerates, and how long Henry can last without getting tired.
• Speech - This Skill affects how well you’re able to persuade someone, into either backing down from combat, or giving you a better price for goods that you’re trying to sell. Speech is improved by talking to people and successful persuasions.
• Charisma - Influenced by how clean you are and the state of your equipped clothes, Charisma affects how much you impress people.
• Visibility - The lower this Skill is the better, as it actually affects how easy you are to spot in the environment, affecting how well you can sneak your way around. Visibility is affected by the color of the clothes you’re wearing at the time.
• Conspicuousness - Dependant on your clothing, this Skill governs how much you’ll stand out in the environment.
• Noise - Another Skill that’s governed by your weapons and clothing that you have equipped, the Noise Skills affects how likely you are to be heard wherever you go.
• Speed - Derived from your Agility Statistic, this Skill governs how fast you can walk, run, and sprint.
