*'''[[Aggression]]:''' If the actor's disposition toward another actor falls below this level, it will initiate combat. A setting of 5 or below means it will not initiate combat under any circumstance, but will enter combat if directly attacked. A setting of zero means it will refuse combat even if attacked.
 
*'''[[Confidence]]:''' A measure of how likely the actor is to attack or flee in combat. It is not a die roll, but a threshhold for a complicated, deterministic calculation. A setting of 100 guarantees the actor will never flee.
*'''[[Aggression]]:''' If the actor's disposition toward another actor falls below this level, it will initiate combat (Though in the case of 0 confidence creatures, it will flee instead.)
*'''Energy Level:''' Determines how often the actor moves to a new location when executing Wander packages.
A setting of 5 or below means an actor will fight when it or its companions are in combat. A setting of zero means it will only engage in combat if directly attacked, even if its companions are in danger.
*'''[[Responsibility]]:''' Determines how willing the actor is to commit a crime. Settings below 30 means the actor will commit a crime (i.e. steal food if given an eat package). A setting of 100 means the actor can report crimes directly, adding bounty to the player without a guard being present. The actor cannot make the actual arrest though.
 
 
*'''[[Confidence]]:''' A measure of how likely the actor is to attack or flee in combat. It is not a die roll, but a threshhold for a complicated, deterministic calculation. A setting of 100 guarantees the actor will never flee, while 0 means it will always flee.
 
 
*'''Energy Level:''' Determines how often the actor moves to a new location when executing Wander packages, and may or may not modify the distance it will allow to accumulate between itself and the actor it is following.
 
 
*'''[[Responsibility]]:''' Determines how willing the actor is to commit a crime and whether or not it will report crimes. Settings below 30 means the actor will commit a crime (i.e. steal food if given an eat package). Ironically, creatures also report crimes if they have responsibility levels, though don't seem to commit crimes in the conventional sense.  
Horses, if given responsibility levels, will report that they've been stolen if they saw you when you mounted it, and remove you from guilds if you attacked it, and was part of the guild you were in.
