I was talked into partaking in some edibles last night and was useless to play more DS other than some mindless farming, but did get my VIT to 30. It may be to my peril, because I did ignore some of the other stats.
Nah, you were pretty well balanced last time you posted your stats, and damage stats aren't that important for a first playthrough. As I said, your weapon upgrades are enough to make your damage output sufficient. You want enough to meet the requirements of a bunch of weapons you might want to try, but overinvesting into a damage stat when you might find a weapon you like that scales with a totally different stat is not a good idea. Weapons that require more than 20 of a stat to wield are usually highly specialized and shouldn't be pursued unless you're sure you're going to stick with it. There's probably another, more standard weapon of that category around that has lower requirements, if you're just interested in trying that weapon type. HP is always important and stamina lets you do more consecutive attacks and block more regardless of your weapon choice, so they're pretty safe to invest in. Just don't go above 50 Vitality and 40 Endurance.
Also don't let that undead merchant lady talk you into buying Dung Pies, they're not safe to eat.
