I’ll freely admit I was once upon a time traumatized by spirits (not soloing so my defences were .. what’s a defence? ) that’s why pale elf sounded cool (heh) Moon it is!

Again, thanks guys. I think I’m going to make the changes you guys outlined and see how this works . I’ll brb oh btw, pale elf is still a reasonable choice right? Or should I have gone Aumaua or boreal dwarf or moon godlike or something else? Since you’ve made solo runs I thought I might ask

Hi again anyone knows if this is still true? “We can't use Second Wind from Athletics because you will hit yourself with Battle-Forged's burn retaliation when using Second Wind (bug).” curios if the bug was ever fixed?

Wow thanks for all the info! Also, I blame my iPads spell check, Raedric gets corrected into that based on this feedback I now have.. and after a very unsuccessful cave fight at lvl 2 with like 4 con (hey I was curious! ) I went with : pale elf with mig 16 / con 10 / dex 10 / per 16 / int 18 / res 8 I did a quick bear cave test and it worked like a charm! Pre-cast chill fog just on the edge of bow range, so bear didn’t aggro when the cast broke stealth. Pre-cast veil1. Shot bow, instantly switched to hatchet and small shield (fun fact, the AI that supposedly doesn’t advance most certainly advanced when I switched to melee weapon.. so one panicky run back and disabled AI later..) cast wizards double. Barely made it before Bear and baby bear got into melee. Baby got blinded. Big bear grazed for 21 (ack) cast summon healing staff. Attack baby bear. Kill baby, get health back. Panicky veil2. (I don’t have spare spells for another wizards double!) hit with arcane blast which dazed big bear. Another healing hit. Big bear is dead. Wohooo! I was about to pop a healing potion, which I didn’t sell cause I thought I’d need it here. so it seems 10 is like the slowest possible dex value with breastplate. Anything slower and you’ll suffer too much. But I was happy with 8 res and the extra def from hatchet and small shield. I’ll probably walk around with +2 dex gloves until I get gloves of speed. (Sorry.. swift action ) my spells hit hard (yes I missed once but I also critted twice for 25ish on chill fog) I’ll try to keep records and maybe write about my success (or failure and need to respec lol) in any case, thanks again, you’re a star. ps: I reloaded a save just before resting so I could reach gilded vale on the right day to get my mantle of freeze (ZERO chance I’ll remember that name correctly) , fun fact, playing on a big screen tv on a lazy boy with the Xbox copy, the loot tables weren’t fubar’d

Hi everyone, After having a blast (heh, sorry..) with Boeroer’s Hurtsacker in a small party (Edér, Fire Priest, Hurt) I realized I wanted to push things solo. I don’t, necessarily, have to use melee weapons for damage, although the staff summon looks appealing, and I think there’s a nice high level lance too? Regardless, if I need to park myself behind a tower shield (or a small shield) that’s what I’ll do. Some considerations: I like min-maxing, functionality is most important. So my first instinct was tank dex, However after Hurt I don’t know if the much? slower spell casting won’t be a huge downside. I loved nuking the crap out of that witch in Roderick’s keep at lvl 3 with Hurt (chill fog opener, combusting wounds while Edér knocked her down, 2x arcane blast and 2 auto attacks killed the entire group on hard. I think priest cast accuracy prayer) I tried a much more conservative approach first by blocking the door and omg the wizard + witch murderized us with fireballs and lances and I don’t know wtf else. So I’m afraid a slow caster solo would have ..unfortunate results. I’m also seriously concerned about tanking res because of interrupts. I mean, if defence is high chances are it isn’t as big an issue .. until you get hit with an AoE or insect plague or something. I don’t know about race. I was thinking maybe moon godlike for the auxiliary healing, or Aumaua for the bonus vs prone and stun (might help vs spirits and dragons?) or pale elf (vs spirits cold dmg.. maybe with the mantle it’d be enough..) or maybe fire godlike, since I’m likely going to be getting grazed a lot, does retaliation add damage to such? Is it viable? lastly, I don’t like not fighting encounters. I don’t care if I have to rest after every fight, I do hate not fighting it. I’ll retreat if I 100% have to (not fighting Roderick at lvl 3 solo no matter what, but I will kill his keep at lvls 3-4 if I can do it. Bear has to die, lvl 3 the latest Please note I’m quite willing to learn in spite anything I’ve said so if I’m totally wrong, correct me! Also advise me on spells , skills, etc, so far, and 100% willing to change it I have: Mig 15, con 14, dex 10, per 19, int 18, res 3, moon dude, hatchet and small shield, chill fog, staff, w.double, aim, infuse vital essence, siphon, …and that’s as far as I got. Oh and arcane veil lol. I was thinking maybe a bit of stealth to try to sneak into better positions and ofc mechanics and lore (how much both?) any athletics or survival? Random thoughts: I think I need something to nuke casters with when I can’t close in. Would fire ray and missiles work? Or just try to land paralyze? But then how to kill them effectively even if paralyze works. Can you somehow run away and break engagement? So far I’ve only seen two enemies break off pursuit.. can you use figurines to escape? For that matter I think even at 6000 I should buy that initial figurine? Does shield penalty still affect spells? ok I’ll shut up now lol, thanks for any replies.

Wow thanks for the thorough responses, I really appreciate it. So that’s why elf wasn’t considered either, it simply pales vs nature godlike or human bonuses, once those are triggered. Wohoo, one step closer to understanding the nuances of this game. Heh. Only 95% to go

Hi, I have a question. Why is intelligence more important than perception on this kind of build? Wouldn’t the extra to-hit (and thus crit) be pretty important/possibly more important? I mean if you crit a debuff it lasts longer than whatever int does, but.. I completely appreciate I don’t have the experience or knowledge you guys have, so I’m trying to learn speaking of learning, would a moon godlike work for your engineer to try to make his tanking last beyond 45 seconds?

The console version is …ok. Perfectly serviceable. Compare it with the pathfinder:kingmaker controller UI (available both on steam and console) or with Solasta controller UI ( also available both on console and steam versions ) and its.. bad. But I’d still pay a dlc fee for this “ok” implementation on PC vs a big fat zero, lug an xbox if you want portability on a big screen approach. (And having to buy a separate version of the game which just adds insult to injury - yes, I did it, no, I’m not happy) I’ve tried a wireless keyboard + mouse + docked steamdeck and it’s a worse experience than xbox by far.
