Re: Double Strike Broken?

That's an interesting example of crazy damage. This is exactly the opposite problem though. I'm NOT seeing high damage from each hit. Not only does it not say Critical in the text but the damage is consistent with regular, non-crit hits. My standard hits are 50-80 (level 20 in Power Mode with ~50 sk...

Double Strike Broken?

After multiple play throughs with multiple different melee builds I realized something disturbing with my most recent Piercing spec rogue. I never seemed to score a Critical hit when using my weapon feat of Double Strike. All my other melee builds would often combine Critical hits with weapon feats ...

Re: Unarmed / Monk Build

My experience with playing two Nefarious builds so far (one bow spec and the other piercing spec) is that it provides a 5% chance to do an extra 50% damage. Pretty sure it worked for both ranged and melee attacks. I don't recall if it stacked with Critical hits or not. Very cool benefit for any non-...

Wow... Ultima 6 was a long time ago. I loved that game!! What a great idea to revisit it!

Re: What to play while waiting for Book III?

Avernum sounds like a winner! Thanks for the tip! The website says no PC version of Escape from the Pit until April though! (No Macs here)

Maybe I'll try the second trilogy (Avernum 4, 5, 6)

Anyone else have any favs?

What to play while waiting for Book III?

I'm about to finish my 4th run through Book II (I did Paladin/Cleric, Pure Mage, Unarmed/Monk, and Archer). I can't think of another class I want to play through now, so I guess it's time to find another game until Book III arrives! Any suggestions on games similar to Eschalon? I love the multiple c...

Re: Seem to be very underpowered at the moment

Would be useful to know what kind of character you're playing and how you've spent your stat/skill points. If you haven't spent a good deal on your primary weapon skill you may be having trouble damaging enemies?

Re: A New Year, a new update!

Crushed! Was dearly hoping to have Book III in early 2012... sounds like it'll be late 2012 at best. Oh the agony of waiting... Gluck with continued development though. Rather have it right than rushed!

Re: Hit Points & Mana Points Guide

If this all seems accurate, maybe we can make it sticky or part of the FAQ list? Thoughts?

Hit Points & Mana Points Guide

On my third play through, I finally realized the existing posts about how to calculate Hit Points & Mana Points weren't entirely accurate. I don't know if formals have changed in 1.05 patch or what, but here's what I've learned so far. I. STARTING HIT POINTS: As posted by others, the formula for...

Probably can't make 30 Dodge, but 20 should be easy! Thanks for the info!
