It seems to me the Glossary in Arcanum's manual isn't complete. I come across magical items which have enchantments in the form TH +15% and SP 5% or so. Can someone explain what these do? I tried google but it gave me no answers, just pointed me to the manual...

During the game you'll find lots of items... some are cursed, hexed, unidentified and many of them have descriptions using abbreviations. Those are used to decribe the bonuses or penalties the items come with.

The acronyms are:

AC - Armor Class
BE - Beauty
CH - Charisma
CN - Constitution
D - Damage
DOT - Damage Over Time
DX - Dexterity
ED - Extra Damage
ER - Electrical Resistance
FR - Fire Resistance
FT - Fatigue
HT - Health
IN - Intelligence
MSR - Minimum Strength Required
MR - Magick Resistance NP - Noise Penalty
PE - Perception
PR - Poison Resistance RNG - Range
ST - Strength
TH - To Hit
WP - Willpower
XP - Experience Points
