I like the builds on this list but I feel like some basic builds for every class would be really nice. Some of these are a really specific I think and having some basic ones should set beginners on the right track. Items don't have to be included in such builds, just some recommended attributes and first couple talents or a brief description of them and how they can be used most effectively.

I plan to play on Hard. Hmm, interesting. So taking 2 points from MIG and putting them in RES might not be a bad idea? I have dabbled with this game a little, but most of my experience with these kind of games comes from years ago. Didn't want to go crazy with PoTD on my first legit playthrough.

I think I have found a nice stat spread with your help, so Ill share it here maybe there is someone else that wants to play a diplomatic paladin. MIG: 17 CON: 9 DEX: 5 PER: 15 INT: 17 RES: 15 Big thanks to you, I am always kind of bad at deciding how I want to play my character but I am very happy with how this one turned out. Will start playing right away!

Could I take some points out of DEX and put them somewhere else and if so where? Or would this be a bad idea for what this build is trying to do? Really appreciate the help so far!

Was hoping you would leave a reply, you seem to have a solid grasp on the game Thanks for the tips. Was also wondering how important dexterity is for casting, does it improve the recovery time as well or only attack speed? I don't really understand how to whole recovery time system works, is it a combination of armor/weapon type and dexterity?

So I want to play as a boreal dwarf paladin because I found a very nice looking portrait. http://imgur.com/a/0eR0m The order I have chosen is [The Shieldbearers of St. Elcga] I have mainly looked at the dispositions when making this choice because I want to play an honest guy who tries his best to solves problems diplomatically where possible. I have also looked at the [Goldpact Knights] but don't like the fact that gold is king for them, but I don't know that much about them so I might be wrong here. I have chosen for [Deadfire Archipelago - Mercenary] background because I read most boreal dwarfs are from there and from all the options available mercenary seemed most likely for a paladin in that region. He is supposed to be a diplomatic guy that tries to resolve conflict with words rather than swords, but does not back away from a fight when someone is asking for it. I plan to play with the NPC's and my character will try to protect them at all costs, he wants to get to know them and help where ever possible. Now for the combat and stats part, I want to play him as a off-tank, support character that buffs his allies and keeps them in fighting shape. The stats I have in mind are; MIG:15, CON:9, DEX:11, PER:13, INT:17, RES:13 I want to be able to take most conversations options but also be decent at healing and buffing, are these stats any good or should I adjust a little bit? So, does this make much sense lore wise or are boreal dwarfs not known for being paladins? Thanks in advance!
