Reposter Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Hi guys, Its been a while since I played tabletop D&D but I was wondering which edition is Deadfire based on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstone Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Pillars of Eternity doesn't use the D&D ruleset (nor any of the D&D settings). But if you are familiar with D&D, you will probably feel at home fast with the Pillars ruleset. Edited May 8, 2018 by pstone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wormerine Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 PoE1 is inspired by Infinity Games, which were isometric real time interpretations of 2nd and 3nd D&D. However, Deadfire uses its own ruleset, adjusted to be better suited to cRPG. A lot of mechanics should be familiar, but how they work and are calculated will be different. Especially in Deadfire, which rather than “inspired by Infinity Games” I would describe as a “sequel improving upon a game which was inspired by IE games”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reposter Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Ok, thanks for the info. Does the Steam version come with a game manual explaining the rules? Or is there some other wiki or website that explains Deadfire's rule set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedrefilos Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Here https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Official_Pillars_of_Eternity_WikiAlthough its easier to google first then come to forums. Also the manual is not needed that much since the game has tutorials and tooltips. In addition, Youtube provides a plethora of videos explaining mechanics and everything else.

Ganrich Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 In game certain keywords will have hyperlinks to explain things as well, and this shoupd cover most game mechanics. There is a good bit of the hyperlink stuff in the character creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerekKruger Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I believe it's based on D&D8.5 but I might be mistaken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
