Additional Stats
<HP> - Determines your resilience. Once this reaches 0 your character dies and is reborn at the bonfire. Souls and humanity are lost.
<Stamina> - Determines your longevity. Once this reaches 0 your character will tire and be unable to attack or use skills and spells. Wearing heavier armor will reduce stamina regeneration, whereas lighter armor will inhibit it less. Being wet or cold can also impede stamina regeneration.
<Hunger> - Determines effectiveness in combat. As hunger decreases, the character will begin to experience penalties in stats, such as reduced HP due to a Vigor stat penalty, or the inability to use a high-level sorcery due to an Intelligence stat penalty. At 0% hunger, a character will have recieved the maximum amount of penalties to their 3 highest stats (up to -5). At -100% hunger, a character will begin losing 50 hit points per second. Dying of hunger will restore the hunger meter to 25% upon respawning at a bonfire.
<Thirst> - Determines effectiveness in combat. As thirst decreases, the character will begin to experience severe penalties in abilities, such as greatly reduced movement speed and stunted stamina regeneration. At 0% thirst, a character will have recieved the maximum amount of penalties to their stats (up to 35% reduction). At -100% thirst, a character will begin losing 150 hit points per second. Dying of thirst will restore the thirst meter up to 25% upon respawning at a bonfire or the Nexus.
<Sleep> - Determines effectiveness in combat. As sleep decreases, the character will begin to experience penalties in judgment, such as reduced accuracy of weapons and slower swing speeds. At 0% sleep, a character will have recieved the maximum amount of penalties to their stats (25% reduction). Undead cannot die from lack of sleep, but the hollowing process increases with lack of sleep. Resting at a bonfire will restore the sleep meter by 5% each time. Sleeping for 8 hours will restore 100% of the sleep meter.
<Will> - TBD
