Intelligence
Spell Level: The highest level of spells a wizard with this intelligence can comprehend and use.
% to Learn Spell: The percentage chance that a wizard can learn a spell and add it to his spellbook. This number also represents the wizard's chance to successfully cast a spell from a scroll. For every spell level higher than the wizard can comprehend, the wizard receives a -10% penalty. For example, a wizard who can cast 3rd-level spells trying to use a 5th-level spell scroll, has a -20% penalty.
Max # Spells/Level: This is the maximum number of spells that a wizard can have in his spell book per level of spell. That is, a 3rd-level wizard with an Intelligence of 16 could learn a maximum of 11 1st-level and 11 2nd-level spells.
Lore Bonus: This bonus is added to the character's Lore ability. This is cumulative with the Lore bonus for Wisdom.
Wisdom
Mag Def Adj: Applies to saving throws against magical spells that attack the mind.
Bonus Spells: This is the number of additional spells a priest receives for exceptional Wisdom. The bonus spells are cumulative as you move down the table. Thus, a priest with 17 in Wisdom gains two 1st-, two 2nd-, and one 3rd-level spell as bonuses to their normal spellcasting abilities. These spells become available only when the priest can normally access spells of the appropriate level.
% Spell Failure: The chance that a spell attempt by a priest or druid character will fail before being successfully cast.
Lore Bonus: This bonus is added to the character's Lore ability. This is cumulative with the Lore bonus for Intelligence.
Charisma
Reaction Adj: This is the penalty or bonus due the character when dealing with NPCs or intelligent creatures. For encounter reactions, the computer generates a number between 8 and 12, then applies the modifier. The results indicate the reaction of the encounter to your party:
1-7: Hostile reaction
8-14: Neutral reaction
15-20: Friendly reaction

OK, first, we have the groups of weapons in which you gain proficiency in. I don't know if the Euro manual has this info, so I'll put it in just in case.
There are 8 groups of weapons in which you can gain proficiency. Proficiency means you can use the weapon without looking like a fool (and without penalty to hit.) The less combat oriented your class (ie, like a mage or cleric is less battle savvy than a fighter), the worse the penalty to hit with a weapon type you're not proficient in. The groups and the weapons that belong in them are in the table.
Weapon speed : How fast your weapon is. In AD&D, each character and monster rolls 1d10 (a 10 sided dice) to see who goes first. The lowest number is fastest. However, if you are wielding a weapon, you add its speed factor to your roll, and then any other modifications (like Haste or Slow spells). This final result is used to see who goes first. For example : John, a fighter wielding a long sword (speed 5), is fighting a wyvern (natural weapons - speed 0.) John rolls a 4, and the wyvern rolls a 7. However, since John has his long sword, his final speed is 9, which means he goes after the wyvern in combat. So, how is this important? Well, imagine a 1st level character and a hobgoblin in a setting without initiative (speed.) Let's say that both hit, and both do enough damage with each hit to kill the other. Who dies? Or when a mage is hit while casting a spell - did it happen before he finished casting? Etc. Note that spells have their own speed factors - generally, the rule is 1 point/level of the spell. So a 1st level spell is +1 to your speed, while a 3rd level fireball is +3. Also, magical weapons take away 1 point from the speed for each + the weapon has (eg, a long sword +2 would be speed 3, instead of 5.)
Weapon Type : Either piercing, bashing/blunt or slashing. Clerics can only use blunt style weapons, which consists of the blunt group and the spiked group. Other classes are limited in other ways - thieves can use long swords but not two-handed swords, even though they are both slashing and both in the Large Sword group. This is pretty transparent in the game - when you buy items for a character, and have that character selected, it'll mark in red the items he/she can't use. Anyway, how is Weapon Type important? Well, some monsters can't be hit by this or that weapon type, and other monsters take half damage from some kinds of weapons (eg, skeletal creatures take only half damage from non-blunt weapons, since they have no flesh to slash, just bones to break - at which blunt weapons excel but slashing and piercing weapons suck.) Finally, different types of armors have modifiers against slashing, piercing and bashing weapons - a warrior in full plate gets a -4 bonus against slashing weapons, since full plate is specifically designed to protect against them. These bonuses are listed in the armor description, and do have a decent effect on the game - nothing critical, but might save you or hurt you a few times.) -- ed.
