how do stats work now?

[meowster]

Im playing this game after nearly a year, and saw a rework of stats again in jan. I dont understand it completely.

im starting a new playthrough. I used to have a human noble charmer for +3 pres, what made the companions hit way harder and changed into thief bcz I didnt want to play as charmer , it was only for the stats. but with the new reductions to leadership is it still worth having pres maxed ? I dont summon, either.

and agility is nerfed too? so do I even need it? or even a pc with no investment in agility now still hits, hows accuracy affected?

what are viable builds now? how do spells calculate whether they hit or miss?

Spells still use your accuracy but target their magic resistance rather than evasion. Agility is still good as it increases evasion and accuracy both of which are good. Presence is good if you haven't got another stat you need. Spellswords with charge weapon are probably still the strongest build.
