God Stat is roleplaying gamer slang for a character statistic with a particularly unbalanced effect compared to the other characteristics. It is the opposite of a Dump Stat. God stats are often accidentally created by GMs as a result of their house rules; sometimes, however, they are present in the system RAW. In combat-related games with point-based character generation, for example Inquisitor (a Warhammer 40,000 RPG and skirmish-level wargame), it is often a stat that governs the number of attacks or actions-per-round the character is allowed (in this case, Speed, a stat derived from Initiative).
Dexterity is the most common god stat, often allowing one to hit more, be hit less, and move faster.
