Stats..

I was wondering, am I the only one who is bothered that the stat screen does not change to reflect food, protect, absorb-stats or other buffs such as defender? While wholly unnecessary, I think it'd be a nice touch to be able to check my stats and have those things reflected on my window. I would like to know, how far does my attack dip with defender II vs defender, whats my defense boost? I can look and tell a difference with or without it but sometimes it's more subtle.

I'm not saying fix it today, or that it MUST be done, I'm just saying it'd be nice so I could make more educated choices on which skills/foods I use. Is anybody with me on this?

I've noticed the same thing. Likewise for gladiator the equipping of a shield is not reflected in the Attributes screen to show how the shield affects the player. Although at the moment I don't really think this is a big problem since stats don't really seem to have much of a substantial impact on the player yet anyway. Once they redo all the formulas (probably 1.19) to better factor in stat increases, I think we'll see an updated Attributes panel.
