They drop nice loots like the robe in my avatar. So kill them all and loot.

Not a specific issue with the cipher, mobs target your squishiest characters first. You need better tactics, try rusing in your tank(s) first with your squishies out of agro range, then bring them in after all the mobs are engaged on your tank(s). Also try having one decent defender backline char that can swap to emergency tank if mobs do reach your backline. On Potd I manage with two max defense fighter tanks, and a DPS paladin backline protector. If mobs get past the tanks, swap my paladin to sword and shield weapon set and engage those mobs while my squishy rogue and casters run away.

So $80 maximum digital tier was the the best. Royal and Hero edition keys.

Potd is better. Normal 1 bear. Hard 2 bears. Potd 3 bears with +50% all stats. And all the hordes of mobs are so much more massive that you def need two tanks. On Potd that is, 1 tank is still sufficient on hard.

I had to murder a supporter NPC to get it.

Its now my avatar.

The Rod? LOL. Shes a Wael priest with a rod! Need to get to level 6 though for the +10 accuracy talent.

Super pretty! BUT WHY CANT I ENCHANT MY HAT?

I read this comment somewhere online: 'I do like obsidean games, hope this one comes to consoles' NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I like how this game has loads of forest areas to explore like BG1, rather than BG2 being mostly based in one city.

I never swear for I am The Lord God.

Sorry, but I am the one true Obsidian overlord. <---- title.

On POTD that 4 damage would matter a lot. Also its +4 damage per hit, so if you hit 10 times that's +40.

They do have a range on them because its listed in the tooltip and it is increased by int. Your 'stats don't matter' mantra isn't accurate in any way at all, they do matter. And not just the auras, they can also get a lot of AoE head and buffs.

They could have just kept it entirely digital and not used a publisher though? I do love game boxes but they are expensive and add excessive costs.

You can faceroll Potd with 6 chanters. I'm not sure how, but they can also tank good somehow.

Well paradox are a nice company because they support and publish awesome games.

Just wait until some time later when I'm on my PC again and can post my pretty lady priest. Lovely feather hat and lovely defiance bay robes looted from killing those supporters.

My wizard has 3 resolve and 3 perception now. I keep him the hell away from mobs and be is fine.

Even with two dedicated tanks, I still get mobs through to the backline, so being able to swap the paladin to sword & shield and run my squishies away is an extra line of defense. 3 dex sucks though with arbalests, but I couldn't gimp his deflection. I think though he would still work fine with 10 con and 10 dex. I'll keep that in mind for future ranged paladins.

I'm using one arm as a backup backline tank and it works amazing. Wish Id gone wood elf instead of human. Max int is important if you want your auras to hit all your party from the back. I'm using the defense aura atm but you can also take the accuracy one for more damage. Though I actually dumped dex on mine so his DPS is lowered, I did 18 might / 18 con / 3 dex / 10 per / 17 + 1 int / 10 resolve because I also needed him to protect my backline if anything gets past my tanks. Add a arquebus priest and gun chanter, then whatever else you want. I'm using an arbalest on my Paladin though. I need him to hit hard enough to get kills because he has the heal and +7 all defense AoE buffs when he kills stuff, plus I went kind wayfarer so he can heal the party with flames of something. And I don't have a chanter cos I didn't know about the gun buff so nvm, arbalests for me. 17 con / 19 int would have been more ideal for mine, every bit of int counts for the auras and wayfarer heals and buffs.

Wizards in the front ... Nope. Id rather just give em penetrating blast and let them spam attacks with the fine wand found early in the game. I might try out dangerous implements too.

But 750 gold

I'm not a fan of the 3 con as I play on POTD. Dump resolve instead, its much less useful. And take the +1 dex background for faster hits. I don't bother with sneak attacks, so far for feats I took blind shot, marksman, 2 feats for 20% passive bonus to crit, then the raw DoT. I should have kept the INT at 10 and dumped resolve more as duration affects the blind and dot.

They have low HP / Endurance though. Id only use them with a ranged or reach weapon.
