Garrulous Glaahk Bushwhacker2k Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I've been looking around and I just can't seem to find specific information on what the traits do. If they were different every game I'd be okay with experimenting, but they're using the same traits so I want to know which ones will actually benefit me.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The Blades of Avernum traits guide will be fairly close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Bushwhacker2k Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Okay, I'm getting some from this (wish we had specifics somewhere though lol). I don't understand the part near the top about Special Skills. Hmm, if that's all toughness does then I'm never getting that again...

Unflappable Drayk stranger Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 They are pretty well explained on the strategy central threads and in the walkthroughs. Are you sure that your spamming of the boards is necessary? There is a search feature you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that your spamming of the boards is necessary? There is a search feature you know. Not sure that needed to be so confrontational, I've been googling the terms a lot with no success at all. In the future, actually give me a link then explain how to go about finding it.

Unflappable Drayk stranger Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 And check the gamefaqs link on the front page of this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hey now, play nicely please. Stranger, there's no need to insult other members. Bushwhacker: A lot of the information for the original Trilogy is easier to find in walkthroughs on external sites, rather than in threads here. This is because Strategy Central threads just weren't around at the time. Anyway. At the top of the forum page (underneath the "Avernum" game logo) there should be a series of links for each game. The information you need is in there (in A2's case, for example, clicking the only link available takes you here: http://www.harehunte...s/mainmap2.html. Clicking "Character Stats" across the top will get you the information you needed on traits and statistics in A2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Bushwhacker2k Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks, I did find a page here and there but nothing quite as specific as I was hoping. W/E I'll roll with what I can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 there was thread in old forums about traits but that link doesn't work anymore and those might not been added to current forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk RainbowDashRadical Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 By own experience, most of the traits in first avernum trilogy don't give such advantages as they do in the later games. Few are good, but most I think are just plain bad. I'll go ahead and list what traits I think are worthwhile in getting. But this is only opinion! Just so no one misinterprets anything. Natural Mage - Important for all mages. Elite Warrior - Good for your front-line fighters, and maybe your priest if he does any fighting. Fast on Feet - My personal favorite. I've found that the extra attack comes more often than I thought. Very useful for warriors and archers alike. Toughness - This is OK. I usually choose this one if I can't decide what to really choose. Strong Will - good for your priest, though I am unsure on its effectiveness. The others I usually just ignore. Hope this is useful. ~RainbowDashRadical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Nobear Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I can't find the answer to this anywhere else: does Elite Warrior affect both melee and pole weapons, and what about bows and thrown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I can't find the answer to this anywhere else: does Elite Warrior affect both melee and pole weapons, Yes. and what about bows and thrown? I don't think so. Nobear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Thoukydides Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The link Randomizer gave above is very useful. However, in Blades of Avernum, Great Renown was removed in favor of Strong Back. Not that it matters, Great Renown is bad anyway. It also appears, unsurprisingly, that between A1, and BoA the trait effects have been altered a little. This link contains very detailed information on the traits in Avernum 1 - http://spiderwebforu...-trait-effects/ Much of it will probably apply to Avernum 2 and possibly 3 as well, minus whatever bugs Jeff fixed between games.

Tenderfoot Thahd the shadow Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I can't find the answer to this anywhere else: does Elite Warrior affect both melee and pole weapons, and what about bows and thrown? I'm currently playing Avernum 3, and I can confirm that Elite Warrior affects accuracy and damage for melee, pole, bows and thrown.
