Achilles Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Josh later stated he was surprised by how many people complained about the Might/Strength change.Same number of people who complained about the Endurance/Health change (after years of bitching about it)?

DexGames Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Nah, we all read it. Just today my high might mage had an option to lift a guy with his bare hands threatening to crush his skull.That said, it’s probably for the best. While I prefer strenght/resolve conceptually, classes weren’t designed for that system from ground up. Tell yourself that your Mage "Channels Powerful Magic, [Hint : Citzal or Llengrath], in his Bare Hands to Lift a guy, threatening to Crush his skull with his Spiritual Might". & you're good to go. EDIT : Come on man. Don't resurrect this sodding topic. , Am I ? Edited March 20, 2018 by DexGames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually reasonable to imagine that Might Wizards can channel their magic to perform feats of strength, either by empowering their muscles or using some kind of telekinetic power. When I think about it that way, muscle Wizards bother me a lot less. 2 Yosharian's Deadfire Builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think about it that way, muscle Wizards bother me a lot less. Which is exacly what Citzal & Llengrath's Magic Spells do. Citzal : Offensive Might. Llengrath : Defensive Might. And all of this, is Pure Magic.

And anyway, a Wizard who doesn't have high Might can still do the spell muscle/telekinesis thing, he's just less adept at it, resulting in less power. 1 Yosharian's Deadfire Builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedthefreak Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 So back to every single character needing a high Might score. Got it.I play PoTD and never/very rarely max Might scores. Amazingly I still get through all fights.How is this even possible? Is this even a question ? I know, right? PotD is basically baby mode. I don't even spend skill points, every stat is a dump stat, and I wade into battle naked with my only character and play with my eyes closed. It's pretty easy, just using common sense.

I guess what will be interesting is seeing that Resolve will now bring to the table. I don't really feel like 3 or 4 points of Deflection is that big of a deal, really.

Yosharian Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'd definitely disagree that all characters need to max Might, even on POTD. It is an extremely good stat, but then so is Perception. If there's an underpowered stat, I think it's Constitution, although it might be a bit more important now that they removed Health.

I also notice how she had to be naked and alone for it to make a huge difference "Art and song are creations but so are weapons and lies" "Our worst enemies are inventions of the mind. Pleasure.

As “strength” checks have been mostly moved to skills (in this case athletics or intimidation) it shouldn’t be an issue anymore anyway. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
