I particularly enjoyed the "?" at the end of the thread title "Noob Question?".
If you don't know whether this is a noob question or not, then you have a loooooong way to go, young Jedi.
Anyway, the answer to your question is "yes", as in "Yes, it is a noob question", or even "Yes, it is possibly the noobiest question one could ask short of "What does "WOW" stand for?""
So, next time you're in game, click on "C". A window will pop-up with your Character Screen. Browse your mouse over where it says "Stamina", or "Intelligence", and it will tell you what it does.
