Attributes are used to represent the overall mental and physical prowess of your character. Attributes either directly or indirectly affect almost everything your character does, from trying to convince someone you're on their side, to skulking around in enemy territory, to flashy lightsaber duels, and everything in between. There are six attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma.

Strength (Str) represents the character's physical power. It is primarily used to add modifiers to "to hit" rolls and close-combat strikes (attacks with swords, quarterstaffs, lightsabers, etc.).
Dexterity (Dex) is used to represent a character's agility and reflexes. It's used to add modifiers to ranged attack rolls and the character's own defense (simulating their evasiveness).
Constitution (Con) is for health and resiliency. It mainly adds modifiers to the number of vitality points earned each level.
Wisdom (Wis) is used to represent willpower and perception. It's used both with determining the number of Force points earned each level and with making the character's Force powers more difficult to resist.
Intelligence (Int) is for factual knowledge and reasoning. Intelligence primarily provides modifiers for determining the number of skill points earned every level.
Charisma (Cha) represents your character's personality and leadership ability. It adds modifiers to both Force-based feats and Force powers.
