Proposed Canon

Everything that fights is a Unit.^Erf-b1-p040a Units may be grouped into stacks.

Classes

Units come in classes. Classes determine unit abilities and limitations. Known classes include:

• Stabber
• Piker
• Archer
• Knight

There are classes of special significance:

• Caster
• Warlord
• Overlord

Unit Stats and Abilities

Statistics are numerical values that are used by the Combat, Magic, or other systems of the Erfworld universe. Generally, the higher the number is, the better the Unit is. As these values increase, power increases linearly. ^[1]

Every Unit has four statistics (stats) visible to Units with Leadership^Erf-b1-p040a:

• Move - Distance a Unit can Movement during its Turn
• Hits - Amount of damage a Unit can take before croaking
• Combat - Offensive combat value. Sometimes referred to as Attack.
• Defense - Defensive combat value.

Units may also have a fifth visible statistic:^{Erf-b1-p050Erf-b1-p145}

• Level - Relative strength of the Unit. Level is affected by Experience.

Units also have two hidden statistics:

• Loyalty - how strongly a Unit is aligned with its Overlord^Erf-b1-p084a
• Experience - How far a Unit has progressed towards gaining its next Level.^[2] Experience is (usually) gained by croaking enemies.

Units may also have one or more Natural (or Special) Abilities.

Natural Abilities

Some units have abilities that can achieve unconventional results, and can be used when not on Turn.^[3] These abilities are named Natural Abilities^Erf-b1-p040a and are sometimes referred to as Special Abilities.
