From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki
There are four attributes. Each has its own specific purposes, and you'll want to develop some more than others depending on how you want to play. Characters only gain one point per level (not counting character creation), so choose wisely. Attributes are used both to directly increase some aspects of the game and also to determine how much characters can advance their skills.
