Important Class and Item Info Should Be Displayed

There are two categories of important information that should be displayed to players in order for them to better understand classes they plan to buy or are playing:

Class Characteristics
When viewing class info (left clicking on class sign) things like player size, speed, health and hunger should be included in the description. Speed and health are most important as they directly impacts combat interactions and are important to know before buying a class. Size is already indirectly visible in class display stands at lobbies but still nice to have along with hunger. A 'characteristics' category can be put in class description to accomodate these values.

Item Characteristics
Can also be used in general but specifically for unorthodox food items (that are not the same as the minecraft food items) like lembas bread, maggoty bread, cooked venison etc. There should be info on their item regarding what they do, how much hunger or saturation they restore and how quick it is to eat. If numbers are not given then a more general description of their effects should be added either serious or more lighthearted.
E.g Maggoty Bread: More filling than Manflesh but harder to chew

I am aware that things like speed, health and hunger are displayed in the wip EmpireWar wiki but it would be nice to have something in game too unless that defeats the whole purpose of the wiki
 
We are looking to make classes more descriptive in the way of summarizing what the class does in a concise form instead of just displaying pure stats without much context. However I think displaying all of these stats is a good idea as well. However, I'd have to ask, for the items, how do you think items like food should be described? Currently, the biggest challenge I see is displaying it while being as short and concise as possible to fit the rest of our information in this, just so it doesn't feel like bloat to the user. Same with class characteristics.
