Template:StatBonusRollDef

The endgame stat-bonus fallback pool — 12 rows, class- and faction-invariant. When the hero's main skill-roll pool can't supply 3 valid offerings on a level-up (because they have no learnable new skills available and fewer than 3 non-Expert skills they could rank up), the engine fills the empty offering slots from this table instead.

Each row is a "pseudo skill" granting a flat permanent bonus to one primary stat. There are 4 stats × 3 magnitude tiers = 12 entries. Empirically extracted from Core/DB/heroes_skills/skills/pseudo_skills.json and the [-2] band of any skills_by_level_tables file (the band content is byte-identical across all 24 standard + arena files, confirming the universal-pool reading).

Total fallback-pool weight: 202,020 = 4×50,000 + 4×500 + 4×5.

When does this fire

Player-observed behavior: the fallback only appears in late-game runs. Specifically, an offering slot gets filled from this table when the engine's main roll cannot produce a valid offering — i.e. when every weighted draw from SkillRollWeight resolves to either "skill the hero doesn't have a slot for" (8 slots full and the rolled skill isn't already learned) or "skill the hero already has at Expert" (so it can't be ranked up further).

Concretely:

• Early game (1-2 skills, plenty of empty slots): zero fallback rolls per level. All 3 offerings come from the main pool.
• Mid game (slots full, some upgrade paths remaining): zero fallback rolls — the upgrade slot mechanic absorbs the "I already have this" rolls.
• Endgame (most skills at Expert): increasing number of fallback rolls until eventually all 3 offering slots come from here.

The +3 bonus tier is statistically near-mythical under current mechanics. With a per-fallback-roll probability of 1 in ~40,000 and the fallback firing only in endgame, a typical player will never see a +3 stat option. Could be design-space padding for a future high-level mode, intentional easter-egg, or vestigial test scaffolding — JSON alone can't disambiguate.

Localization

The 12 rows share a single name_sid (skill_pseudo_name) — the player-facing name is the same generic label for all twelve. desc_sid differs per row (skill_pseudo_1_desc through skill_pseudo_12_desc), with each describing the specific stat and magnitude granted.

Translation rows live in the Translation table under type='stat_bonus_roll', one row per (language, target_id) for the desc; the shared name gets one Translation row keyed on skill_pseudo_name with a free-floating target.
