Interesting. I didn't pay too much attention when watching the LP, so my character knowledge is mostly based on the old games

In what world is Kratos DISpassionate.

@BoeroerIMO Sword and Sickle look pretty cool together. Like sword and kopesh or something

Exalted Endurance vs Charge? Focus seems meh...

Found an Aumaua with a bear AC on the wiki. Will stick to bear then They are majestic beasts

Which animal companion would be the most fitting for a Huana? Bear seems not too fitting. Boar? Thinking about the old druid on Maje island... Sucks that there is no tiger AC I would prefer to go for Stag for flavor, but read a lot about how bad it is. Is it good enough with CP and Balance mod? And also I have not found a single stag in the game so far, so I am not sure how well it is to RP... In general, it seems like there are felines, canines, boar and that's about it for normal animals in Deadfire... At least I am finally decided on the class xD

It looks nice enough with a Battle Axe imo

I think I will go for Xoti's Sickle after all, and just RP that I am knowledgeable about religions, even though I don't trust the gods xD Because 60% bonus dmg sounds just far too nice to pass up

So far I find the double FoD healing pretty great, so I am inclined to stay with DW after all. If it falls off in usefulness later, I may switch to Ngati's Tusk

As much as I'd like the dmg and speed buffs from Xoti's Sickle for a dps unit, I find it hard to justify leveling Religion for this char from an RP pov... I thought to go for Survival, because bonus Stride from Walking Cloak and bonus damage from Mohora Tanga seem nice. Or are those 2 meh?

As a fEmInIsT I find boob-plate armor very annoying xD

With 4 Stealth and 7 Athletics, I can get to 18 Arcana on Shepherd, so that seems nice. Everyone gets 4 Stealth and 7 Athletics, tho.

About Stalker's Patience. Is it worth dumping all my leftover skill points into Stealth for the Flanking bonus? If I can do math correctly, it should only boost the damage by 1% every 2 skill points. Doesn't seem worth it to me, but maybe I am missing something. The (imo) better alternative would be getting Arcana to 15 to have every scroll available to cast.

Do I screw myself on PotD if I keep my Shepherd only have 13 base MIG? I would *really* like these over-the-top base 22 PER xD Mathematically it's only 6% less dmg/healing (because the alternative is 15 MIG and 20 PER) At least early on MIG doesn't have that much of an impact, but PER very well does. And I will go for crit-fishing later on, so more PER should be quite impactful... And yes, I restarted again because I like the new Orlan pic in MaxQuest's portrait pack so much

Less jpeg, moar smooth, btw still my favorite elf pic Forget it, you already updated it I think your mod is the most-downloaded-by-me portrait pack ever xD

FFS @MaxQuest would you please NOT give me new ideas for my chars xD

Brand Enemy is insane for this then. May have to respec, picked Sworn Rival instead. For some reason I confused it with Stalker's Link + Torc from poe1 xD

Question though... Do Sword Enemy and Marked Prey stack for AC and main or are they mutually exclusive? As in, does both on the same enemy surpress one of them?

I went for Shepherd now, Stalker/Kind Wayfarer, and so far it is gorgeous. Did Digsite Drake at level 3 without breaking a sweat (even though my bear died at the end - killed by a straggler Wurm), and even Gorecci Street was possible (albeit incredibly rough) at level 5 - first time ever did I manage this one that early! My mindset changed from /Druid to /Paladin simply for the fact that I find it hard to... 'justify' a au naturale Druid supporting such a tech-heavy faction like the Vailians xD

@Sozoma If you are like me and find the 'brightness' a bit jarring compared to the game's own pics, I played around with the last one a bit in GIMP. Still need to figure out how to do that with the Island Aumaua, not as easy as this one...

So, yeah, I am reading/watching vids up and down about Ranger and Shifter right now. 15/10/15/20/15/15 seems like a not so bad idea. Won't be my main tank anyway, so that is fine.

Looking at Druid and Ranger abilities, I feel a bit indecisive (or overwhelmed?) about what to pick from each tree, at least if I want to make good use of the pet. Will go for SC Stalker first, finish that and chances are very high I will go for a second run afterwards

@thelee How did your stats look for the Shifter-Stalker? Did you max PER or INT, or did you go for a balanced spread? I am a bit torn between either going 15 across the board (RES/INT/PER need to be medium-high for me because talking stats) or lowering CON and/or MIG to bump PER and/or INT higher for this. And yes, I will go for Shifter/Stalker now, that sounds really fancy Also no armor effects in Spiritshift means I can savely go for Fire Godlike without FOMO

So, you did a Shifter/Stalker? That actually sounds pretty cool xD

I will probably use the mortars when I don't have to engage or have too large groups. Wish there were more than 2 mortar style weapons...
