The problem with your suggestion is that all of the things you listed are contingent upon the attack succeeding or not. You want to interrupt, you need to hit first; You want to debuff, you need to hit first; you want to do more damage, you need to first; etc. Anytime you add accuracy back into the attribute mix, it becomes the most important stat.

Is Rogue Mandatory?

Yes your ranger can learn mechanics. However, she can only do it on level up even if she has unspent points. -
Feedback on game
illathid replied to Suna's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Hey OP, thanks for letting me know there's no voice acting in the game! I guess I was just hallucinating when I heard Aloth and Calisca talking to me. I'd love to talk more but I need to find a sanitarium so I can commit myself. Thanks again! -
I've tried a few different builds for Paladins, but given the faith and conviction bonuses, I'd try to not have a ton of true dump stats. They can easily have some of the best defenses against every type of attack.

Review Watch?
illathid replied to Fenwick's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Make that "the best classic tactical CRPG in the last decade" and I'll agree... Nope, best RPG of the decade bar none. -

PRE-LOAD is now available!
illathid replied to Slish's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Most videos are released at the same time to backers - And early builds are on CIG PC's at conventions so the media can't take it home and play for hours before backers. Respect is what I am getting at here - Obsidian has very little for its backers it seems. The devs of game still months, if not years, before a release and one going to be released in less than a week or two vet different beasts. It's like comparing how one person acts at the start of an exam and another two minutes before time is up. Regardless, of what you think Obsidian did what they thought would give them most profit, and as a backer I'd be upset if they didn't. I gave obsidian hundreds of dollars because I love the games they make and I want them to be successful. If you feel like obsidian trying to be successful is disrespectful, than you have no idea what "disrespect" actually means. -

Star Citizen - seems to be making money hand over fist - Largest Crowd Funded game ever. 75 Million Dollars to date - Chris Roberts does this by putting the fans first and he gets way more respect from the media - because they report everything he does even though they don't get review copies. Still not released yet. It could crash and burn. There's also been press events where they've seen builds/video before backers. Seriously you need to settle the **** down. -
Official Keys Thread v 1.01
illathid replied to VladWorks's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
At the top of this forum there's a sticky thread called "tiers to SKU" it has all the info you want. In fact, by the information you've given I'm going to guess you have the champion edition. Happy? -

No it's a respect issue. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/03/23/pillars-of-eternity-the-first-half-hour/ http://www.pcgamer.com/were-livestreaming-pillars-of-eternity-from-3-5-pm-pdt-come-watch/ And a whole bunch more https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=pillars+of+eternity&safe=off&tbm=nws There was even a documentary released on media sites - I wasn't aware of. http://www.incgamers.com/2015/03/pillars-of-eternity-saved-the-company-says-obsidian-documentary They released it to the media first because that's how the industry works. If they didn't there'd be no day 1 reviews and everywhere you'd see stuff like "no review means it's a another buggy obsidian mess." So if you want obsidian to succeed and for more games to be made in the genre you need slow your ****ing roll.- 487 replies

Accuracy bonus for flame of devotion
illathid replied to dunehunter's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
yeah, it can be a boring class, but that is a selling point for some folks. boring to Gromnir is blessed low-maintenance to another player. even so, we woulda' liked more options for abilities that required player involvement, but we woulda' wanted stuff such as sock suggested earlier in the thread. improve paladin by including more abilities, optional abilities, that would still be defensive and support in nature, but would require more player monitoring, for those o' us micro-managers who have control issues... or whatever. HA! Good Fun! Oh yeah, don't get me wrong having a low maintenance build for the paladin shouldn't go a way. I just wish there was a way to have a more active build too. But if wishes were fishes... -
Accuracy bonus for flame of devotion
illathid replied to dunehunter's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
My beef with the paladin right now is that there's no real way to build a more "active" paladin. Most of their abilities are passives or reactive in nature. Compare that with the fighter which can built to be very active or completely passive. -
Installing pillars on 2 pc's
illathid replied to budyn's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
No. it's been like that since the mid 80's at least. The majority of case law since then has stated that EULA's are valid and enforceable contracts.
