Attributes in The Technomancer are what defines Zachariah. They determine how successful he will be with in combat, dialogue, crafting, etc. Attributes increase the damage you do, your resistance, and the chance you have of making a critical hit. These attributes also determine if you can wear certain equipment. There are 4 attributes: Strength, Agility, Power and Constitution.
Below is a list of each Attribute along with a description of what they do. There are 4 main attributes, each with 5 levels where you can spend points. You will earn a point to spend on Attributes at the following levels: 4, 7, ??

For people like me who saw these low numbers and assumed stats were all but useless for the most part, these numbers aren't exactly correct. Strength is incredibly good, because the +1 damage to attacks is added per swing. For example with the staff a basic attack chain would do 19->37->56. With one additional point in strength that damage increases to 20->39-40->60. You're getting an additional 1 damage on the first hit, 2-3 damage on the second, and 4 on the last. That isn't the same for all weapons. For example, a mace and shield with an additional point in strength adds 1 damage on the first hit, 1-2 on the second, and 4 on the last.
