Stats (short for Statistics) are basically the numbers that represent your character's abilities, and they're used to calculate how well your character will do at various different tasks (e.g., {{Strength}} being used to determine jumping height, damage dealt on attacks, or the number of objects that can be carried at once). They're mostly associated with combat-oriented gameplay, although any genre that offers goals and a chance of success or failure can have them (e.g., a DatingSim). While some stats are common to the point of being almost universal, there's no actual law determining what or how many stats a game uses in its system. A given game can have anywhere from 1 to over 400, and chart anything from HitPoints to [[Webcomic/ProblemSleuth Pulchritude]].
