Every time you level you have to choose three attributes to raise. Endurance is always a good choice, but other than that it's based on your style of play.

Some attributes have a +1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 next to them. These are bonuses that are based on which skills increased. For example if you gained 4 skill points in block and then level you will have 4 bonus points in Endurance. This means that when you choose endurance you'll get 5 for one level instead of one. You'll usually do this without knowing but to create the most powerful character you'll need to carefully maximize your bonuses each time you level.
Some attributes have a +1, +2, +3, +4, or +5 next to them (+5 is the maximum, you don't get any +6, if you've played to up the level of a skill by 12 points). These are bonuses that are based on which skills increased. For example if you gained 8 skill points in block and then level you will have +4 bonus points in Endurance. This means that when you choose endurance to level up you'll get a +4 bonus for one level instead of +1 bonus or nothing. You'll usually do this without knowing, but to create the most powerful character you'll need to carefully maximize your bonuses each time you level.


The best way of doing this is to exercise minor skills. If marksmanship is a minor skill and you gain 5 points in it then you have 5 bonus points in agility yet you're no closer to leveling. Using minor skills in this way is crucial to getting the most out of every level.

Be careful or else you'll level up all of your minor skills too fast and still not level up in a way that will make the game satisfying to play.
