@armor: if the burn AR is higher than CW's PEN you will underpenetrate with the ticks.

[Guide] Permanent bonuses / Approach for a "no rest" run
That's because I was testing Rekvu's Fractured Casque on a Warlock some time ago and didn't want to nuke myself with Necrotic Lances all the time.

Do you mean me? I draw them as vector graphics. You can scale them to any size without quality loss. I send them to Phenomenum as high res PNGs then since that's easier for him to work with than with vectors graphics. I don't know how Phenomenum transforms them to 42x42 pixels. I can always deliver the source SVG files if needed. I think the details of stuff like Tumbling and Dirty Fighting look ok on the screenshot by the way. Somebody gave the Dirty FIghter pants. I prefer the naked or spandex look. Not because I'm a nudist but because the cleaner lines scale better to smaller pixel sizes. Makes it more clear. EDIT: just installed he mod and generally speaking: the stuff looks great. No comparison to the bland icons that we had before. Some tweaking is needed but my first ingame impression is super positive.

Tomorrow I will be flying to Sicily with my family (Easter vacation). So you won't see new icons from me for a whole week - I promise.

I also saw the ingame preview now - and at least on the screenshot the icons look pretty awesome compared to the original stuff. I didn't think they would scale down so well.

Exact centerinf is difficult if the picture has an even number of width and/or height (42x42). Doesn't matter too much to me if it's perfectly centered. Nobody will notice and mist icons are not symmetrical anyways.

[4.1.2 MAJOR BUG] Broken core mechanic: Afflictions not supressable/not removable by inspirations
Boeroer replied to thelee's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)No, that was thelee. I had problems with afflictions not getting removed by fitting inspirations. But when I start a fresh playthrough I can't reproduce it either.

[Guide] Permanent bonuses / Approach for a "no rest" run
Since it's very easy to give yourself injuries via console I presume something like Blessing of the Dawnstars should be equally easy to apply. You just have to find the name. You can do that with the find<whatever> commands.

If you give yourself items with the console anyway: why not use the console to reapply the resting buffs?

[4.1.2 MAJOR BUG] Broken core mechanic: Afflictions not supressable/not removable by inspirations
Boeroer replied to thelee's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Maybe they are using a more recent game build. But when I do testing stuff with the console I also have troubles reproducing it. It seems you have to meet special circumstances in order for it to occur.

Forgotten Sanctum and insta death without injuries
Boeroer replied to Valordin's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Just to be sure: you don't have the pet "Grog" equipped, have you? OP didn't and I assume you also don't use it, but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask...

[4.1.2 MAJOR BUG] Broken core mechanic: Afflictions not supressable/not removable by inspirations
Boeroer replied to thelee's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)They cannot reproduce it. At least that was the last thing I heard. Maybe it "accidentally" got fixed while doing other stuff.

[4.1.2 MAJOR BUG] Broken core mechanic: Afflictions not supressable/not removable by inspirations
Boeroer replied to thelee's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)They have trouble reproducing the bug on their end. But it seems they are waiting for this to get fix before releasing the patch. I see a lot of complaints about this bug. But when I asked around for savegames, screenshots, videos or other hints how to reproduce it I didn't get a lot of feedback.

How much sleep do you get and how do you feel?
I sleep like a stone once my head connects to the pillow. I will lay there like a dead man and not much does wake me up. I also fall asleep asap in plains, trains and other vehicles (if I'm not steering). I did 30-min-naps during lunch break when I was still employed (and not self-employed like nowadays). Just lay my head on the table: *snore* I drink a lot of coffee. Like... maybe more than 2 liters a day. I just love that stuff. I can drink coffee 5 min. before gong to bed - the only negative effect for my sleep is that I most likely have to get up in order to use the bathroom. Maybe that's why I seldomly sleep more than 5 hours a night. I go to bed at 1:00 am or so and will wake up at 6:30 - don't need an alarm clock. So far I'm quite healthy at an age of 42. I did lots of sports (Basketball and Volleyball mainly and also a lot of weight training) when I was younger. I completely stopped with ball sports after my last sports injury which was a severe disc prolapse in 2009. That was one year after a meniscal and cross band surgery. So I though "Screw this!". My blood values and stuff were always nice (and still are until today). Funny thing is that I feel a lot better ever since I stopped with those ball sports.

Can Anyone Mod Deadfire Class System into POE 1?
Boeroer replied to Marigoldran's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)The use of the console to spawn any enemy you want will solve this problem.

Politics and Statesmenship: A Forum Special Report
We had mandatory service in Germany from end of WWII until a few years ago. Like many other countries on earth that I wouldn't call slavers. The idea (at least in Germany) was that you'll have a sound cross section of your actual society in the military (or an alternative service like fire service, Federal Agency for Technical Relief, community service - if you don't want to fire weapons and stuff). Also lifts the average IQ in the military quite a bit. I think that's a very reasonable point. I didn't go to the military but did community service in a home for wayward children (13 months). And while it was a hard time I also learned a lot. I met people I would not have met if I would have just went from school to university. My best friend did community service in a home for trisomy 21 people. At new years eve we would meet with them and celebrate - and this was honestly one of the nicest parties I ever attended. Meanwhile very decent former schoolfellows went to the military and left their footprint there. Then Germany switched to voluntary service. Guess what happened? And guess if it was a good thing for the military, the civil sector (think about hospitals, elder care...) and the society as a whole.

Let's talk Fire Spells
Yes. Same with Wiz + Druid if one casts wall of Flame and the other Wall of Thorns - or two ciphers casting a beam each or a Wall of Flame + Hand of Weal and Woe... But Combusting Wounds doesn't work with DoTs. Only with pulsing damage like Walls, Chillfogs, Beams and so on.

Yes, there's too much going in in terms of color and gradients and glow and blur and stuff in Dragon Age's icons. One thing that bothers me a bit with the Deadfire icons is that the "special" passive ones Obsidian designed for certain classes (e.g. Constant Recovery) use a totally different style than the generic ones that they (re)used for most passives. Those are just white silhouettes with no added color and so on. While the "special" ones have a lot more shmancy-fancy graphics. I actually like the simpler ones more (look a lot cleaner) and that's why the "new" icons I did follow that latter style. Also because it's a lot easier to create that many icons in that fashion of course - since I can use vector graphics which is a lot faster than creating pixel based icons. But this also means the special ones which Obsidian made will stick out. Would be better if all passives had that simpler look - and actives' icons stayed like they are (= more flashy). Maybe (but only maybe) I should make monochrome versions of the "special" passives? Just use the symbols Obsidian used but redo them in the "simple" style? Compared to all the others I did so far there are not too many of them...

Ways to take freeze damage on purpose?
Chilling Grave's Chillfog is foe only - except if you are a confused Berserker, killing skeletons.

Combusting Wounds + Wall of Flame. That's it.

Deadfire Polishing Poll
Great. Thanks y'all for the continuous feedback. Now... what about the "new" Combat Focus? Did anybody notice the changes of Overbearing Guard, Critical Defense and Toughened Fury? And if yes: what about them? I wanted to amp up the fighter icons a bit because they looked a bit boring compared to Barb's and Rogue's.

Okay, let's see if this is any better (mostly redid Rogue stuff that was addressed above):

That something is dirt. Dirty Fighting, eh? I like the look, but it was supposed to be a joke because I had no idea what to depict. Kick in the groin like suggested by heldred might work well. Have to try that next. @Persistent Distraction: first impulse was to use the silhouette of a curvy woman. @Slippery Mind: He's slippery like an... naaa? Fist impulse was banana peel... on the top of the head. @Wall of Flashing Steel: ROFL. Why cigarette? Was supposed to be a flashy pirate, But I also don't like it too much. Next attempt maybe something more musketeer/duelist-style?
