Attributes

Developing attributes is associated with passive bonuses to statistics. For example, developing the Body lengthens health and endurance bars, and increases the damage inflicted in melee combat. It will also unlock more perks related to a given attribute.

Each upgrade of skill will give you a bonus to stats or a free perk point.
