Risk

Risk is a stat exclusive to Vagrant Story. It slowly increases during battles with enemies. The more Risk the player has accumlated, the lower the chances of hitting the target is. Also, it lowers Ashley Riot's defensive stats. The upside of this is that higher Risk allows for a great percentage of critical hits. The Vera class of Items all are based upon lowering Risk. The Alchemist's Reagent and Sorceror's Reagent both also lower Risk.
