Thank you! I was surprised to see you too. Lovely coincidence. Yeah. I'm sure a post on the esrp would be appreciated and at some point i really wanna get dod rolling again.

Could I ask for a brief clarification of the stats roles in the game world before I gen them for my character? 

I'm guessing:
Strength is the raw hitting power of a character. It sometimes dictates carrying capacity too.
Defence reduces the amount of damage taken and increases the odds of blocking with sword or shield.
Speed is the rate at which special moves load and at which characters move
Dexterity is the precision with which a character can move and dictates things like, the likelihood of an attack hitting, the likelihood of dodging an attack and increases possibility of a crit.
It is simply resistance I am not sure of.

Also might a hp stat make sense?
