Re: Short Blades: Trainer or Book? (Spoiler request)

I read there was a problem with the stinger, this wasn't fixed in a patch? I was thinking short blades might be a nice option in some cases, but hard for it to compete when other "mainstream" weapon skills have +7 available in the game without using character points. Adamantine dagger, 5 d...

Re: Did You Ever Get Stuck and Could Not Move?

Can happen on restoring a save as well, occasionally I end up displaced from where I should be. (Just restoring again generally fixes things.) I ended up in the middle of a forest once. Most interesting example though was on the salt coast - I ended up in the sea. You can walk on the sea, but can't ...

Re: Effect of ability scores -- research

Q: If a pure warrior were to put all of his points in Endurance for the entire game, would his very high resistances eventually make him immune or nearly immune to magic? I just did some testing on this, because I thought a high Endurance build might be interesting. There are diminishing returns th...

Re: The perfect dice roll?

Ok, scratching my head now - maybe my random number generator likes me?

I moved to a different computer and rerolled.
In less than 10 tries I came up with a 107! All 14s except Dex (13) and Concentration (10).
Blinked a few extra times at that one... :D

Re: The perfect dice roll?

I saw several 101s, and then stumbled across a 106 - everything was 14 except wisdom (13) and strength (9). Maybe not where I'd choose to put that 9, but rather a nice roll I thought! :D I made him a rifter druidic healer, boosted end to 20 and perc to 25, added spot hidden and unarmed for skills, a...

Re: Skills and Attributes

I'll throw another two cents into the pot. Thought I'd try out the demo this weekend, and so far it looks very good. My biggest disappointment has been the lack of documentation on basic game mechanics / character function details / stat development. It's true that a big part of the fun is exploring...
