It is a subclass. Thus it's not supposed to be better or worse than a vanilla ranger. Once you get a weapon with elemental dmg the Arcane Archer will have no ACC penalty. So you can completely circumvent the first penalty if you wish (Essence Interruptor comes very early). The Arcane Archer will get some abilites that will trigger an (AoE) spell with every jump he can generate (Driving Flight + jumps from item enchantments). PLUS he gets a huge stackable ACC bonus when maxing Arcana (besides being able to use scrolls). THat bonus also apploies to the imbue spells. That is already very strong. Imbue: Minor Missiles will be altered in a way that it scales with PL as normal Missiles do: more PL = more projectiles. Because of that, Arcane Archer is one of the few classes atm with whitch I can clear a whole pack of dummies with one, maybe two shots (Imbue: Death has a huge AoE and if you manage to trigger it thrice with Driving Flight + Watershaper's Focus most groups are done for). Giving him bonus ACC from Arcana for all his attacks with an elemental weapon would just be OP. Ranger already can stack a ton of ACC bonuses. Giving him a penatly for normal weapons and no penalty for some others and a big ACC bonus for his imbue ability is totally balanced in my opinion. Compared to all that his remaining penalty (-15% health) is neglectable - as a ranged character his health pool isn't his most important feat anyway. So all in all - why are you guys complaining? As I already said: those are not prestige classes that are supposed to give you more power. But Arcane Archer already does this.

Sure - else it would be quite pointless, wouldn't it?

I never had any issues with this. Seems to be difficult to reproduce this. And if you can't reproduce it reliably it's hard to fix.

I wonder how many players would come and claim that it's if they only wanted to do the crit path and ended up with lvl 13. It's impossible to satisfy all gamers. Good thing that the mod support for Deadfire is better than for PoE. A "completionist" option in the difficulty menu would be nice though. But I think since modding this is a matter of changing one single value in one text file Obsidian won't invest time to develop a dedicated option too soon.

Sinking gives you the same loot but more XP overall. At least that was that case. Don't know if that changed, but I read nothing in patch notes.

Instead you respond indirectly in an edit and intentionally misspell my name - because that will immediately shut down any discussion?

Awesomest

They put that texts into the website codes (you can watch when right-clicking on the site and pick "show source") for Ethics Gradient (forum user) to find them. He is known for his "investigative" nature so to speak.

I'll add that to my list of "pros".

Ah, with 20-30 big names CRPGs you meant CRPGs whose names were written in big letters? Sorry! I misunderstood you. Weakwood Throne was really big though. Who hasn't heard of it?

By the way Aarik: you can edit your thread title with that "Use Full Editor" button.

I agree that ship combat is the easiest, fastest and most reliable way to level and make money with very little investment. Solo or not, PotD or not. I don't even bother to buy another ship. I'll sink nearly all unique ships before char lvl 8 with a normal sloop - only upgrades are better cannons. For the Deck of Many Things I like to buy the Red Dream Hull upgrade (for safety reasons - don't want to reload ) and that's it.

See?

If you use "Eld Nary's Curse" then maybe.

That's because they were imaginary big-name CRPGs.

Oh, please call it "Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson". It was surely the worst show on television until "Inhumans" came out...

You mean your computer has... hopefully...?

What exactly did you tell me? I try to memorize only the "real" facts - not the imagined ones. And even with the facty facts there's no guarantee - so bear with me. But on the other hand: there were so few that I really should remember...

Fixed it. He should be made a Knight Gradient now...

No sweat!

Which country is that? With "blah blah blah" you mean the two rather short words "Song" and "Contest"?

There are several more open positions like that - so my educated guess is Unreal Engine. They are older than the Microsoft deal.

I guess the whole point is that Benweth is supposed to annoy you and make you want to choke him to death while Xoti sings "All my little Ducklings" for him. Being a realistically good pirate doesn't seem to have been the no. 1 priority on the list.

I'm using Deadfire (Steam as well) on Ubuntu 18.04 and I don't have such problems.

Yes - it's a known bug and looked upon. I read it somewhere here in the forums and also the explanation for it (which I forgot). Should be fixed in the next iteration... I hope.
