Re: My Character Creation Tips

Is it better to play an unarmed rogue or warrior? Considering you only have 50~ skill points available. I've been debating that one myself. Considering my front line is warrior/rogue. My internal debate was that unarmed would be great on the warrior as 20 evasion would seriously enhance his moderat...

Re: My Character Creation Tips

I just finished the game and barely hit level 13 before the boss.

I'm looking forward to replaying on hard as warrior and 3 rogues.

I found Toorum's Remains on level 11 and brought them to a Life Stone which unlocked the achievement and secret character. I'll look forward to running it again as Toorum only (create a single character with his name after the achievement), he's really fast and has great stats!

Re: I needed help on character creation

I just finished the game with an evasion rogue, can I recommend not maxxing dex? I would instead split between str and vit to start. The evasion you get from dex is negilible compared to getting it from armor and 24 points in dodge. I think I had 88 evasion at the end and I started with 12 dex. She ...

Re: My Character Creation Tips

I completely agree with Skilled being the hands down, most valuable perk, and that every Minotaur needs it too to break that 50 mark. unless of course you use the +5 skill tome on them, which is what I had to do on my first play through. I have an over abundance of food on normal, I'm looking forwar...

My Character Creation Tips

I love this game and am taking my sweet time with it, after a few restarts I just wanted to share some observational tips I've come across. Currently character level 8 on dungeon level 6. I'm finding weapon skill is much more important than stats, Weapon skill adds to your damage and accuracy somewh...

Re: Things the devs didn't think through

I suspect there will be new dungeons or expansions/customs that will utilize higher levels and skill points

Re: Evasion vs protection?

I haven't tested evasion yet, but I do know that's how the resists work, % reduction which caps at 100, and at 100 you are immune to that damage type. Since that mechanic is being used, it is plausible that evasion could follow it as well. Who knows, maybe protection is % reduction to physical damag...

Re: Min / Max / Mechanics Thread

I'd like to challenge the Vit +2 is better than +15 hp. From my testing, hp gain is your Vit bonus, which is +1 for every 2 Vit over 10 with 1d3 added per level-up. Which is unfortunate for me because it means many save/reloaded when it is leveling time to make sure I get mostly the +3 mods. To elab...
