Can we get some clarification on what these things actually do?

* Alignment: Whether your character leans toward good or evil.

* Charisma: People are more likely to send gifts to those with high charisma.

* Defense: Decreases the amount of ego you lose when a thread attacks you.

* Frugality: Reduces the cost of items you purchase, and increases the amount you receive for selling them.

* Luck: Good things come to those who are lucky (ancient internet proverb).

* Offense: Increases the amount of pwnage you inflict on a thread.

* Upkeep: Decreases the amount of damage your equipment receives.

It would be nice if Luck actually described what it did, or Frugality gave an exact -% of item cost per point in it.
