All numbers use the repository tuning defaults (Resources/Prototypes/_Misfits/Special/special_tuning.yml) and the curved effect scale:

1 → −5, 2 → −3.5, 3 → −2.25, 4 → −1, 5 → 0, 6 → +1, 7 → +2.25, 8 → +3.75, 9 → +5.5, 10 → +7.5.

Strength affects melee damage, heavy/large-weapon handling and carry/pull speed.

Melee damage: multiplier = 1 + (curvedDelta) * 0.02 (tuning.StrengthMeleeDamageMultiplierPerPoint).
Carry / pull speed: endpoint at 1 = −8%, at 10 = +10% (curved-scale interpolation).
Heavy gun handling: angles & recoil scaled by keepFraction = 1 + curved-scaled value (endpoints +18% @1 → −10% @10), clamped to [0.70, 1.40].

(See quick table above for per-level values.)

Perception affects ranged spread/recoil, fire cadence, and mining speed.

Spread/recoil: keepFraction interpolates from +15% at 1 to −25% at 10.
Fire delay: FireRate is multiplied by 1 / (1 + modifier) where modifier is the curved-scale interpolation (clamped to avoid extreme values).
Mining/action delays use similar endpoints: +25% delay at 1 → −25% delay at 10.

Endurance changes survivability, needs decay, stamina recovery, and toxin resistance.

Health thresholds: modified by interpolation from −20 (at 1) to +20 (at 10) added to soft‑crit/crit/dead thresholds.
Hunger/Thirst decay multiplier: interpolates from +15% decay at 1 to −12% decay at 10.
Stamina recovery multiplier: interpolates from −15% at 1 to +20% at 10.
Toxin damage types (Poison, Radiation, Caustic, Cellular) are multiplied by toxin multiplier interpolated: +12% at 1 → −15% at 10.

Charisma influences trade prices, loadout points on character creation, and presentation hooks.

Loadout point modifier = RoundAwayFromZero(curvedDelta * 2). Example: Charisma 1 = −10, Charisma 10 = +15.
Trade price modifier: buying/selling amount × (1 + curvedScaledModifier) where scaled endpoints are ±10%.
Chat font size increases by +2 for Charisma ≥ 7; low Charisma produces examine/speech flavor text.

Intelligence speeds medical/timed actions and reduces lathe production time / material use.

Medical/timed actions: speed multiplier = max(0.1, 1 + (I − 5) × 0.1). Action delay = baseDelay / speedMultiplier.
Lathe production time: linear interpolation: Intelligence ≤4 increases production time with +15% per point below 5; Intelligence ≥5 reduces time linearly to min multiplier (default 0.50 at 10). Example multipliers: 1→1.60, 5→1.00, 10→0.50.
Lathe material use: only rewards above-average Intelligence; at 10 material use multiplier ≈ 0.75 (25% discount) with linear scaling in-between.

Agility affects movement speed and action cadence.

Movement speed: interpolates from −7.5% at 1 to +7.5% at 10 (small but consistent).
Action/melee cadence: action delay interpolates from +8% delay at 1 to −10% delay at 10.

Luck drives critical hits and chance-based reward hooks.

Single‑shot critical chance scales to 25% at Luck=10. Implementation uses curved Δ proportion of the endpoint and clamps to [0,1]. Revolver-style single-shot weapons double this chance.
Unlucky chance: low Luck introduces small chances of an unlucky hit: Luck 2→5%, 3→3%, 4→1%.
Generic luck rolls (loot, etc.) use GetLuckRollChance(baseChance, chancePerPoint) where chancePerPoint is tuning-dependent (default tuning.LuckLootChancePerPoint).

Core implementation: Content.Shared._Misfits.Special.SharedSpecialSystem.cs
Tuning defaults: Resources/Prototypes/_Misfits/Special/special_tuning.yml
Stat consumers: Content.Shared._Misfits.SpecialStats and server combat/lathe systems.
