Aptitude

Aptitude is one of the stat modifiers that characters have, with every class having their own Aptitudes for each of the 8 main stats. It's represented as a percentage, and it acts as a multiplier to the stats gained from all equipment (increasing them if above 100%, decreasing them if below).

Aptitudes are not something that grows along with the character, and few methods exist to increase them:


 * From Disgaea 3 onwards, reincarnating a Unique character (Generics too from Disgaea D2 onwards) increases all Aptitudes permanently by 5%(stacking up to 25% bonus).
 * Weapon Scrolls (in Disgaea 2) modify some Aptitudes while equipped.
 * Certain Evilities can increase Aptitudes.
 * Class World (in Disgaea 3) lets you increase each Aptitude permanently by up to 100%, but they're capped at 255%.
 * Chara World (in Disgaea 4 and 5) and Devil Dojo (in Disgaea D2) let you increase Aptitudes permanently (no limit to how many times), but they are capped at 300%.
