Stats
Stats have many settings and configurations that make it possible to design your game exactly how you want it and with extreme depth if you want to.
Stats in RPG Builder were designed after some of my favorite ARPGs such as Grim Dawn, PoE, Last Epoch etc.
You can create any stat you want, with any name you want.
