Interface Attributes

All Known Implementing Classes:
Fortune, Knight, MOB
public interface Attributes
Basic "attributes" or stats used throughout the game. Anything that utilizes the states (MobileObjects, Buffs, etc) should implement this interface, so the various stats can be applied. For this version of the game, the stats are
  • armor (AC)
  • max Health (Hit Points / HP)
  • damage die used in attacks
  • hit modifier - modifier to roll to hit
If you are curious about why these are called attributes or statistics, it is common in roleplaying games.
