Damage: The amount of hitpoints you take away from a character when you attack them. This is frequently a range determined by dice rolls.
Attack Rate: How many times you attack in a round. An attack rate lower than one means you attack less than once per turn, perhaps to "charge up" an attack or reload. If an attack takes more than 1 round to complete, then with a higher attack rate you can complete it in less rounds.
Defense: The amount damage taken is reduced by. This may come from items and some types of damage ignore defense.
Experience Points: Gained through killing foes, completing tasks and evading or surviving obstacles. Sufficient experience will help you grow a level.
