 All Strength is going to help you hit like a tank (but still miss a lot) and eat a lot of damage (but fail to dodge a lot). Strength is your best defense against magic since it cannot be dodged.

+All Dexterity will allow you to evade most opponents and land most attacks. Your damage output with revolver will be high. You will usually be able to avoid a lot of bad status effects like poison. Dexterity is probably the strongest stat in the early game.
 All Intelligence will lock you into playing a magic user. You'll effortlessly cast high level spells with an insane amount of damage but you'll be extremely susceptible to close range combat. Playing in vampire form with all Intelligence will be exceedingly difficult.
 A balance of stats will work well. Put in enough Dexterity to get a good hit rate, especially early on, and enough Intelligence to cast the spells you want to cast. The rest is up to you.

-'''Speed''': Speed affects how fast you can move or perform actions. If a monster has 20 speed and your speed is 10, that monster will be able to take an action on average 2 times as often as you can take an action. The actual effect of monster speed is variable however, ranging from 50%-150% of their base speed. The result is that kiting slow monsters is never perfectly safe and even monsters that are your same speed will sometimes appear to take an extra turn or skip a turn.
