| Combat rounds | 3 at 0 to 8 stamina, 65 at 247 to 250 |
Stamina decides how many rounds a fight lasts before it ends. It converts to combat rounds on a fixed ladder, from 3 rounds at the bottom to 65 at the top.
Like strength and dexterity, it starts at 5 and sits on the more expensive of the two training curves, costing twice what fighting ability or parry cost at the same value. The full price list is on the skill points page.
Stamina to combat rounds
The conversion moves in steps rather than along a smooth curve, so a trained point either changes nothing or adds a whole extra round. Everything from 0 to 8 stamina gives the same 3 rounds. From 9 to 29 each step is three points wide. Above that, steps of three and four points alternate, with four becoming the norm, and the first five-point step starts at 130.

Why heavy equipment costs more than it looks
Almost every item held in either hand or worn on the body takes stamina away. No two-handed weapon adds any, and the worst of them, a handful near the top of the two-handed range, take 34. Armour goes as low as -15 and shields as low as -14. Rings and amulets are where stamina comes back, up to 30 on the best ring, along with a few one-handed weapons that add between 1 and 4.
On the item table, a penalty of 34 next to a damage range of 160 to 184 looks like a rounding error. Set against the ladder, it is anything but. A knight with 100 stamina fights 30 rounds; take 34 away and the remaining 66 stamina gives only 21. That is nine rounds lost before the first blow, and fewer rounds mean fewer chances to land a good hit.
The trade cuts both ways. Fewer rounds also mean less damage taken in total, and players on the battlefield deliberately keep stamina low against opponents whose level is well above their own.
Training Cost Per Point
Every attribute starts at 5, and the price of the next point follows from the value you already hold and nothing else. Stamina sits on the expensive curve: ((current - 4) x (current - 4)) x 2, twice what fighting ability and parry are charged. The second column is the running total, the gold a knight has spent in all to reach that value from the starting 5.
Both columns are computed from the two published formulas rather than copied from the source's printed table, which disagrees with itself on three rows. The full comparison is on skill points.
| Current Value | Cost Of The Next Point | Total Spent To Reach It |
