Game Mechanics

How Stolen Realm actually works under the hood — every value verified against the game's runtime data (Steam build 20244830), not guides or tooltips. Where the community wiki or our own earlier notes disagreed with the game, the game won; see About This Data at the bottom.

Character Stats

Attributes → Derived Stats

Each point in an attribute gives (runtime values from GS 1.asset):

Monk passives (Strength/Speed ×1.33) modify the attribute values themselves, not these per-point constants. The (stat − 8) offset applies to players only — AI gets 0.

Base Values

BaseCritChance = 2%, BaseCritDamage = 50%, BaseDexterity = 5, BaseReflex = 5, BaseRecovery = 0, NumStatsPerNewLevel = 5 attribute points per level-up.

Health & Mana

BaseHealth = ceil(100 + (Level−1) × 15)      // 100 base, +15% of base per level
BaseMana   = ceil(100 + (Level−1) × 15)

MaxHealth  = (BaseHealth + 5×(Vit−8) + items) × (1 + (Vit−8)×0.01)
MaxMana    = (BaseMana   + 5×(Int−8) + items) × (1 + (Int−8)×0.01)

Level 1 at 8 Vit = 100 HP; level 30 at 8 Vit = 535 HP before gear.

Crit Chance from Crit Rating

CritChance = 2% + curve(floor(CritRating)), linear between curve points:

Examples: rating 1 (9 Dex) → 6% | rating 52 → ≈33% | rating 300 → guaranteed crits. Stealth grants 100% crit chance on the next attack.

Dodge

DodgeChance = curve(floor(DodgeRating)), linear between points, hard-capped at 75%:

A dodged attack deals no damage and applies no effects. Dodge Counter Chance rolls a counter-attack after a successful dodge.

Recovery & Downtime

• Per turn (including turn 1): Recovery × 0.5% of Max Health and Max Mana
• After winning a battle: 5% Max Health + Mana restored (percentHealthRegenAfterBattle = 5)
• Dead characters revive after battle with 5% Max Health

Experience (Levels 1–30)

XP(level) = 1000 × 1.2^(level−2) cumulative — ExperienceBasePerLevel = 1000, exponent 1.2, MaxLevel = 30:

Combat

Damage Pipeline

Damage = (BaseDamage + FlatDamage) × ElementalMods × Multiplier1 × Multiplier2
         × Multiplier3 × Multiplier4 × DamageModifier × CritMultiplier

Order verified in code — flat damage is added before any multipliers:

1. Base Damage — the action's damage expression per element (e.g. Source.SpellPower("Fire") × 1.1); see each skill's expressions on the Skills pages
2. Flat Damage — DamageFlat{Type} bonuses, added per element first
3. Elemental Modifier — each element × (1 + DamageMod{Type}/100)
4. Multiplier 1 — generic mods (additive within the group, then /100): DamageMod + DamageModBasic (basic/opportunity/counter attacks only) + ManaPowerMod (mana-costing skills) + Opportunity/Counter attack mods + Ambush (target has no allies within 3 hexes) + Call of the Grave (+20% vs targets below 50% HP) + Marked Prey (+20% per stack) + per-hex range bonuses
5. Multiplier 2 — Reflex-driven opportunity/counter bonuses
6. Multiplier 3 — Fickle Flame (random −50%…+50%)
7. Multiplier 4 — Strength of the Ymir weapon-damage reduction
8. Damage Modifier — the action's own flat multiplier
9. Crit Multiplier — last (see below)

Critical Hits

• Crit roll: Random(0–100) < CritChance + target.CritChanceTarget
• Auto-crits: attacking from Stealth, ForceCrit effects, Blind targets with See No Evil
• CritMultiplier = 1 + (CritDamage + CritDamage{Type} + CritDamageTree{Tree} + target.CritDamageTarget + AdditionalCritDamage) / 100
• Player CritDamage = 50 + (Dex − 8) × 1.5; AI crits are a flat 50%

Damage Reduction

Applied in order: General Reduction → Resistances → Armor.

General reduction (one additive group): × (1 − (DamageReduction + Resilience + TakeCover) / 100) — Take Cover adds 35 when the attacker is more than 2 hexes away.

Resistances: × (1 − Resist{Type}/100) for Fire/Cold/Lightning/Physical; Shadow and Holy both use ResistDivine. Resist cap is 75% base, raisable by effects to a hard 95% (MaxResist attribute).

Armor (last):

Physical: max(damage × 0.10, damage − Armor / 10)
Magic:    max(damage × 0.10, damage − MagicArmor / 10)

10 armor absorbs 1 damage; armor can block at most 90% of a hit (maxArmorReductionPercent = 90). Shadow damage ignores Armor and Magic Armor entirely.

Shapeshift Forms

How it works under the hood: the shapeshift skill applies a status whose ModelChangeCharacter points to a hidden player-form character, and that form's own skill list replaces your skill bar while active. All forms are dispellable, and every shapeshifter gets a free Dismiss Shapeshift skill. Nine forms exist:

Notes from the data:

• Blood Howl deals AttackPower × 0.8 physical to everything within 2 hexes and debuffs targets so all attackers lifesteal 4% against them for 2 turns; Cursed Bite deals weapon damage and cuts healing received by 50% for 2 turns. Dire versions hit harder.
• The Werewolf/Dire Werewolf melee replaces your basic attack outright — multi-hit with Bleeding on every hit, so attack-speed/on-hit builds scale with it.
• Dragonkin basic attacks convert to the form's element (Red→Fire, Blue→Cold, Green→Lightning, White→Holy, Black→Shadow — confirmed in game; note the raw basicAttackDamageType field ships copy-paste values for Green/Black, another small dev-data error).
• The Box form's skill entry even ships with the Vampire Bat's description copy-pasted in.

Weapons & Gear

Weapon Damage: Item → Character Sheet

1. ItemBaseDmg   = ceil(BaseDmgPerType × DamageRatio × (1 + (level−1)×0.23) × (1 + rarity×0.10))
2. WeaponDamage  = ItemBaseDmg × (1 + WeaponDamageMod/100) + AdditionalWeaponDamage
3. WeaponDamageAll = ceil(sum of all equipped weapons)
4. AttackPower   = WeaponDamageAll × (1 + AbilityPower/100)     // AbilityPower = Might × 1%
5. Tooltip range = WeaponDamage ± 15%  (min ×0.85, max ×1.15, floored)

SpellPower = AttackPower — Might scales spells and attacks identically.

Example — level 80 Medusa Staff (Legendary, ratio 1.3), 300 Might: ItemBaseDmg = ceil(12 × 1.3 × (1 + 79×0.23) × 1.4) = 419 → AttackPower = 419 × (1 + 300/100) = 1676

Base Damage by Weapon Type (runtime WeaponDamageBaseByType)

Item Stat Scaling

ItemStatsPerLevel = 0.23, ItemStatsPerRarity = 0.10, ItemArmorPerLevel = 0.23, DamageRangePercent = 0.15. Rarity indexes: Common 0 → Legendary 4.

End Game Tiers (Post-Campaign)

Rare+ items can roll a Tier modifier (MinimumTierRarity = 2):

Weapons get the stat boost only (no attribute points). Drop chances interpolate linearly between listed levels. Battle modifiers: 1–6 active, unlock at 30, 5000g reset.

Loot & Rewards

Loot Generation

For each player, every dead enemy rolls loot (highest point value first: Boss 7 > Champion 5 > Elite 3 > Soldier 2 > Fodder 1):

1. Personal loot — the enemy's own drop table (see Enemies page; e.g. Medusa → Medusa Staff 10%)
2. Group loot — the enemy faction's shared table
3. World loot — global pool, filtered by the rarity whitelist below

Drop chance modifier: Difficulty.LootMod × (1 + quest modifiers/100) × character loot modifier, plus each enemy mod's loot bonus. Items are created at min(30, game level). In endgame mode, bosses roll their personal loot twice. Each player receives an independent distribution.

World-Loot Rarity Whitelist

Epic never drops from world loot — for any enemy type. Epics come from personal and group tables, shops, gambling, and crafting only.

Gambling (Ulf's Wager, Act 3)

• 10 random items; price 500g × level (15,000g at level 30)
• Item level: min(30, random(player level −1 … +2))
• Rarity roll: Common 25% / Uncommon 50% / Rare 15% / Epic 8% / Legendary 2% — the only random-drop source of Epics
• Non-weapons get a random prefix or suffix; only Tier I possible (shop level caps at 30)

Gold

• Quest reward: IslandLevel × 100
• Per-enemy gold: base ratio 0.1, × enemy type multiplier (Fodder 1 / Soldier 2 / Elite 4 / Champion 6 / Boss 8)
• Item sell values scale with ItemGoldRatioBase = 4 × type multipliers; two-handers ×2

Enemies & Difficulty

Enemy Base Stats (runtime EnemyTypeStatSets)

Each enemy multiplies these by its own stat ratios (see the Enemies page — e.g. Medusa: HP ×2.5 → 242.5 base).

Enemy HP

HP = baseHealth × healthRatio × levelCurve(level) × partyMult(players) × difficulty × bossMult

Level curve (linear between points; roguelike uses its own curve):

Past 30: 264 × 1.05^(level−30) + 24×(level−30).

Enemy Damage

Damage = baseDmg × dmgCurve(level) × partyMult(players) × skillRatio × difficulty × bossMult

Past 30: 34 × 1.025^(level−30) + 2×(level−30).

Party-Size Scaling

(Roguelike HP: 0.8 / 1.55 / 2.3 / 3.0 / 3.75 / 4.5; damage identical.) Player summons use their own curves: HP ×1.5→6.5, damage ×1→25 over levels 1–30.

Difficulty

A global −25% baseline is added to every difficulty's HP/Dmg percent (HealthMod = 1 + (perc − 25)/100), giving effective enemy multipliers:

Other Level Curves

• Life steal effectiveness decays: ×1 through level 15 → ×0.7 at 20 → ×0.5 at 25 → ×0.3 at 30 → ×0.1 from 40 on
• Enemy healing received scales up: ×1 (lv 1) → ×2 (lv 20) → ×4 (lv 30) → ×7 (lv 90)
• Enemy mod chance: 0% at lv 1 → 35% from lv 4 onward
• Flat damage curve: 1 / 4 / 10 / 20 at levels 1 / 10 / 20 / 30

Enemy Spawning

An enemy needs island level ≥ MinLevel to appear (its MaxLevel is ignored by the spawn code — enemies keep appearing and scaling forever). Per-enemy skill tuning (cooldown/mana/damage-multiplier overrides) is on the Enemies page.

Events & World

Event Deck (how event repeats work)

Events use a recency-weighted randomizer — there is no "must exhaust the deck" rule:

• One deck per node type + spawn type (decks are global; terrain/time/level filtering happens per draw)
• Among currently eligible events: the most recently seen ~33% are excluded, the next ~33% draw at reduced weight, the rest roll normally at their ChanceRatio (1.0 for nearly everything; Battle filler 5.0; Mistress of Chaos 0.2–0.5)
• Repeats return naturally as an event ages out of the recent third — small pools recycle fast
• The game remembers across runs: your profile stores the last 100 events you visited and pre-suppresses them when a new run builds its decks

Time of Day

Only a handful of events are time-gated (all Night): Brawler's Brew, Petrified Party, Shrine to the Reaper, The Pale Knight, Wrath of the Righteous (plus a few night-flagged chain steps where time doesn't apply). Every other event spawns day or night.

D20 Roll Checks

Events roll a D20 (+ stat bonus if offered, clamped −2…+2; the game picks your best eligible stat) against a RollLimit.

Party scaling (only for events with rollBonusTypes set): smaller parties get easier checks —

Fortune events with scaling (full-party limit shown): Archery Competition 12, Dwarven Tomb 16, Edwin's Demise 12, Sword in the Stone 18 (so solo Sword in the Stone needs 16). Without scaling: Entangled Boar 11, Magic Mirror 18, Strange Crystal victories 16, Taste for Blood 14, Fortune Teller 11, Librarian 10, Mad Mage 3 → 8.

Event Gating & Chains

Event availability is controlled by plain data (no hidden binary conditions): requiredStatusesToSpawn, per-option requiredStatuses / hideIfHasStatuses, and quest statuses that force events (ForcedNextEvent, ForcedEventBeforeBoss). Notable verified chains — full details on the Events page:

• Ymir Trials: Strength (map spawn) → Honor → Courage (each battle chains the next) → Trial of the Ymir (Hodr) forced before the island boss; rewards scale with kill speed (Max(0, 5 − (TurnCount−1)) × 100%)
• Mad Mage: 1→2→3 (each Break grants a Touch fortune + a debuff) → Spell Council → branch: fight the council (Rune of Refreshment) or free the mage → Unleashed (Elemental Equilibrium)
• Jack in the Box: taking the Wrath of the Righteous fortune force-spawns it before the boss

About This Data

Everything on this page comes from the game's own runtime data (resources.assets, scene files) and code (decompiled Assembly-CSharp), extracted July 2026 and verified with in-data anchors (Medusa's 10% staff drop, Bottled Anger's ±20/−10 effects, Fireball's 2 AP / range 7 / SpellPower("Fire") × 1.1). Constants come from serialized assets, never from decompiled default values — an earlier version of this document made that mistake and published wrong numbers; on the six stat-scaling values where we "corrected" the community wiki, the wiki was right.

Cut, disabled, and debug content lives on the Cut Content page. Extraction methodology (tools, pitfalls, replication steps): docs/REVERSE_ENGINEERING.md in the repository.
