Would it be possible to list whether cheats (BB for stats bonus) were used in character creation, maybe under difficulty? Hard to know if a build will work without them, and I'd rather not have to click and read each one to know. I hope it's not too much to ask!

How do we get in on the beta for this? I've seen comments about it, and I was in the backer beta for deadfire.

Debonair seems good for a ranged rogue build, since you could negate the penalty pretty easily by standing close behind allies for cowardice and already don't engage from range. At that point it's all upside.

Perhaps streetfighter/blood mage could be used effectively together. Load up on self buff spells, damage self to get into bloodied hp level, and get into melee. Definitely will try it out my next run. Many of these new subclasses seem like they would make great ranged characters, which is something I've been wanting more of.

If you get the palm sail, you can outrun basically every time. I get it early on for convenience.

Very excited about this patch. I want to brainstorm ideas for the new subclasses. I'll throw out some wild (crazy?) ideas. Maybe rogue could get a subclass specializing in range attacks, where they can use their melee weapon from range (counts as melee) and it flies back to them with some kind of technique or magic? Drawback could be a significant limitation on what kinds of weapons they can use. Maybe some weapons are too heavy or clunky to have it fly back, etc. I'm hoping they came up with something interesting for warriors. Maybe a light armor type of warrior where they get an armo

Yeah this has been a thing for a while now. I found it irritating too because limited resources like this tend to make me want to never use them.

As stated in the title, I used Chorus of the Lost, and it put the debuff on a summoned tentacle that was in the area of effect. If this is a situational thing, I can go about getting the save file and all that.

The village just before Drowned Barrows.

In order to be affected by increased power levels for spells and abilities, does it have to have the keyword in the description? For instance, I know that an item that gives + Fire Power Level will work with Flames of Devotion for sure because it has the keyword Fire in the description, but does the chanter invocation that deals shock damage improve with an item that gives + All Electricity Power Levels even though it doesn't say electricity in the keywords (just says Chanter Invocations)? I would just like some clarity on how to determine what affects what. Thanks! Edit: Okay, I found out

Upon selling loot at Marihi's Metalwork, I received what looks like half of what I should have received. Attached is a dropbox link to watch what happened and a link to the save file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dqmga5sisulozef/PillarsOfEternityII%202018-09-26%2000-07-36-62.avi?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/hotvd3prlcx1ba7/Zulthu%20%283f156fe0-b15b-44de-b0c8-1c65ce76921d%29%20%28LAX-ABCDF%29%20autosave_0.savegame?dl=0

Get in a choke point, wait for the fighter to gain a little aggro, then send in other melee classes.

I haven't done this before. Do they usually expand the beta to other parts of the game for us to test later on, or are we just helping with this piece?

Haha, sounds awfully "diablo-y". Grimoires are pretty functional items, so I hope that the other classes will also receive something useful and not just thematic "placeholder" items. Yeah that does sound like more fun, though some classes are inherently more active/flexible than others in how they are played. I haven't played Diablo, so I'm not sure what that system looks like. Was it fun and engaging or no?

hmm I wasn't aware of these. maybe warriors could have scabbards, rogue could have poison vial, paladin/priest could have some token of their religion, druid could have some kind of magic stick lol. Not sure about others but this would be a fun thing to guess about/discuss.
