Abilities cost questions

[Elric Galad]

I'm looking at the Wiki for character planning and I can't find the ressource cost of the abilities.

I would suppose that higher level abities might cost more, but is there a general rule for this ?

 

Also, is there a table of number of Spells per spell levels and character level for Druids/Wiz/Priests ?

 

Do Abilities improving existing abilities (such as Disciplined Strikes or Mule Kick) cost more ressources ?

Resource cost tends to go up when the ability is higher levels. 

 

Some classes like the Priest, wizard, and Druid all have a single spell cost for each level and cap out at 2 casts of that level per encounter.  So, at level 1 a wizard would have 1 cast of level one spells.  These classes get talent point to distribute each level like any other, and the concept of "Spells per Level" isn't in Deadfire like it was in the first game.  A single class Character gets 1 point per level except levels divisible by 3 where they get 2.  So, the get a point at Creation, a point at level 2, two points at level 3, and so on.  Levels divisible by 3 are also when you get access to a new power level of abilities/spells.  Which is when you get two points to spend.  These points can be spent on abilities, spells, and passives.  Multiclass characters develop a little more slowly, and I can't remember off the top of my head how they progress but they don't get access to level 8 and 9 spells/abilities.

 

Some ability upgrades cost more.  For instance the Rogue's Shadow Step cost 1 Guile, but its upgrades cost 3 Guile.  However, Shadow Step's upgrades are more like new abilities as you can still do the regular Shadow Step for 1 Guile.  Not all follow this pattern, only some.  The Monk's upgrade to Stunning Blow is called Stunning Surge, and what it does is give Stunning Blow's cost back if it is a Critical Hit. 

 

To find out the cost of abilities when you are creating your character click the button that lets you look at the Class Tree.  Once you are there you just hover the ability and it will tell you the cost. 

Best thing I can tell you is look at the trees and learn as best you can what everything costs and does in a particular class.

WIki in outdated. You need to start a new game and check in the character creation window. If you already started, you can also check on level up or when hiring a merc.

 

It is such a shame you cannot save before character creation. It would save much time.
