How does leveling affect stats?

[Jarlek]

If my memory serves me right, in Native, AGI does increase swing speed 0.5% per point, it was changed in cRPG because the AGI builds got swing speed bonus from their AGI and also had massive amounts of WPF.

Could be wrong, but I'm quite certain AGI did increase swing speed by 0.5% per point in Native, which seems to be mostly what this game is still running on statistically.

It DID give you a 0.5% swing speed bonus. But that was, as I mentioned earlier, in ORIGINAL Mound and Blade. NOT Mount and Blade: Warband. When they made Warband they removed it but forgot to change the text. So in the first few versions it still SAID that you got the bonus speed (but you didn't) and the only thing the patch changed was the text. So Native always had it so that AGI never gave a weapon swing speed bonus (although the 5 wpp could be spent to increase your wpf and thus speed).

Long story short: In Warband, AGI never gave you speed bonus to attacks, that was only for original Mount and Blade.
