Whoa, thanks for all your contribution. I don't know if I'll be able to use immolation, ad I'm ranged... but if I can I will. Chanter is too... autopilot for my tastes.. and I like kana too much to take him out...

I'm currently level 5 with my pally, and doing good so far. He's a pefect sniper, and does a fairly high amount of damage... (almost 90 with a good hit). However, noticing that he only strikes 1 foe at a time, I began to wonder if something like an AoE hitter actually exists. I know a mage can cast a fireball and so on, but... Taking out mage, priest and generally speaking casters, is there a way a non-casting MC can actually affect a large area in AoE attacks? Something like an exploding arrow, or a huge area massacre from a barb... dunno... I was just curious..

Hi there, fair enough. Problem is: you can't do it right away. This game is not linear, and this means that eventually, you'll have to go elsewhere, level up, recruit people then come back to do what you left behind. This will occur in a number of occasions, and it is perfectly normal. I play easy too, because I enjoy story, not fights. Eothas should be done around level 4 and with at least Durance in the party. Wanna be even safer? Go until Caed Nua and take Kana. 5 people plus Lion and you're good to go.

Looking forward to it!

Here I am, willing to thank you again. I'm almost in Caed Nua, and will take Kana soon. My "sniper" already approaches 70 damages per shot.. really tough. I'm beginning to consider the idea to quick switch towards melee... but will see. for now it's slow...but not so much. But when I'll switch to Arquebus it'll become very slow..so we'll see then. I'll keep you posted my friend. G'night!

Many thanks my friends, this bg is shining indeed. I'm poor of imagination myself, so I'm in awe in front of such background. This bg screams of colonist as far as I can tell.. pity that there's no "exact" referral to something similar to your background.. but It's the most fitting for this character. I'll have a try asap and let you know. For now, accept my deepest thanks for taking the time to make me happy, I really appreciate. Edit: Mercenary would also fit... there's an option that states "I fought for the wrong side"... Edit2: Also Dissident: we won the war but the new government was worse than before.

Monsieur Galad, I'm in need of an advice from you since you kinda created the character. I read that the shieldbearers of st. Elcga are somehow diplomats and defenders, and I'm willing to give my char a proper bg. Despite the name, the shieldbearers seem more like ambassadors and honest talkers to me, rather than warriors or priests... they are mainly elven, and come from Aedyr. How can I translate all these concepts in a solid background in game? I'm asking you, because you gave me all the details in a previous post, and thus I'm willing to follow the concept that you originally intended for the ranged paladin. Thank you!

I left her melee, due to vielo vidorio. She was great in the front line along with Eder... Any further thoughts on bg? Since noone has answered yet, I'll add that, according to another forum user, the Clergyman BG has 4 unique answers.. I bet they can be crucial in solvin something without violence or something similar?

I thought of colonist, but I didn't quite like it for RP.. Hunter was an option but it gives stealth.. non so useful... Clergyman was the preferred but the options are kinda dull...well...they're very priest oriented.. So I'm still speculating

Ok done about a hour just to see how it fares... it's good, definitely. Now time to start over putting all in the right place. What background can I choose? I was thinking of clergyman... suggestions?

I started it... it's a f***ing sniper! First FoD I did hit for 57 damage keep you posted!

Ok I'll take all considerations into account and choose accordingly. One question, if anyone can help me: in an old post someone wrote me the dialogue options available per class, race, faction and so on, but it dates back to 2015. Anyone got an updated version? Maybe including wm1/2?

Shieldbearer then if I get it right? Ps. Nice name!

Well..that's ok, I'll take that in GV and then move on to find something better as the story goes on. Thanks for the warning Boer, I wasn't aware of the bug... Looked for it in the wiki... a paladin can't use it anyway.. problem solved..

Purrrfect. I'm gon try this MC this afternoon. If I remember correctly, the first fine arbalest is in anslog, so not too far. Will put Eder on the front line, and I also like Kana on the front. Would you advise Goldpact or Shieldbearers?

Ok let's put it all together: wild elf, high mig and int, possibly high per, medium Dex, 10 res and 10/8 con. Shieldbearer or Gold pact, Armed with arbalest. Wf soldier, what about ranger cross class? What bg do we pick?

Yeah maybe you're right.. res should stay at least 10... he he.. you like wood elf for the role?

If you aren’t a dump stat guy (I’m the same as you) I like the 3 fives and a three rule. Fives in your major stats and 3 in the minor. 15 might 10 Con 13 Dex 15 Per 15 Int 10 Res I think would be great for a ranged Paladin, the PER with sworn enemy it’s more then enough on the marked target. Yeah well... I can tolerate an 8 in a stat but not less and not on many stats... so your set is ok, or you can bring res or con to 8 if you want...

I agreed with Elric and stared blabbering about how good quick switch on a Paladin is. My bad lol Don't worry, no problem. I'm just not to much into micro, so once the fight starts I like to concentrate on inflicting damage..

Both the two benefit from wf soldier... interesting... I don't like dumping either.. a 12 in Dex should be enough... but per is a thing I really like..

High int I guess, and you chose shieldbearer right? Is per important too? I like to be able to choose in dialogues.. which weapon to use before you get to pliambo? Also.. the rifle is very slow.. did you give Dex?

I don't want to ignore FoD at all! I like it a lot in fact! But want to exploit its strength with a single weapon, not using an arquebus and switching...

You are all posting quick switch builds which are good but ot. I don't want to switch, I wanna stay with the same ranged weapon be it a bow or rifle...

I'll follow this topic, I always liked ciphers, it has a fantastic lore in the story, if you come out with a nice build, I'll be grateful!

It's an elf alright, but it's melee.. can it work ranged?
