confused: different stats when challenged??

[MRCOOL1]

ok, so just lost a challenge, ( no biggie) but I compared stats first,and they looked favorable, but in the summary of the challenge, his stats were MUCH higher:

ME:

mrcool
Poker level : 10
BLF : 59
INT : 27
REA : 33
PKF : 28
BKM : 23
PM : 100%
PC : 276/276
Glory points : 26
At the end of the challenge...PM : 100%
PC : 102/276

THEM:

Player two is : xxx
Poker level : 10
BLF : 62
INT : 41
REA : 24
PKF : 29
BKM : 26
PM : 100%
PC : 281/281
Glory points : 30
At the end of the challenge...
PM : 100%


from before the challenge, their stats were:
level : 10( your poker level is 10 : you will earn 2 experience points if you win the challenge )
Glory points : 30( you have 26 glory points, you will earn 1 GP if you win )
BLF Total 57
INT Total 29
REA Total 19
PKF Total 22
BKM Total 24

anybody have an idea what happened here?[/font]

I think it could be because of the homes and boost like metal shield or others hat could be the difference when you challenge some 1 his home is used.

I think it's because when you compare stats before the challenge it doesn't show points through boosts (shown on the bar in red). At the end of the challenge it will show actual stats including boosts.
I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong lol

I think you explained it better than me lol

thanks for the replies.
ok, I'll take your word for it, i guess ive never noticed the change before now.
still confused, tho lol

if this is the case, what's the point in comparing stats if ur just gonna be guessing whether or not the person is 'buffed'?

got to be something more than that. I can't figure how you get that much extra from boosts

yes cool thats the part of the game thatgets me too. it is deff the boost from homes and other potions from the poker shop.

edit>> the poker charm you get for working 20 hours as a dealer gives your bluff stats 5 points for one time use

You can use more than one at a time. Some of the specialty boosts can add up to 9 on certain characteristics.

[M_80]

How would you get +12 on the INT

[zsazsaz]

Upgrading items and combining every boost in your inventory can add a lot to your stats

my guess would be a really nice house

[stepoff]

i do think betty said it well........

[jayccin]

mostlikely a villa

[billoz]

I think you need to assume they have the same house as yours(eg. my caravan +4 INT +3 PKF), add that on to their advertised stats, and then guess what potions could be in effect "buffing" them up.(daily poker article +1 across the board & poker charm +5BLF + 5 REA & .... etc )
