Articulate Vlish KJMiller Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I keep getting blown to bits by traps in the goblin fort and I suspect it's because my Tool Use isn't high enough. I know the Tool Use stat exists (instant help and tip boxes refer to it), but I can't find it listed anywhere when I bring up character info. Any ideas? Thanks!

Unflappable Drayk John S Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I suspect you're playing as the Celts. Tool Use is not available to them at that time. Instead, increase resistance to physical damage. Luck should also be a godsend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 The base value for Tool Use without training is (INT + DEX) / 4, and I think this formula holds true even if you don't have the skill. Increasing a fighter's dexterity or a druid's intelligence will therefore help you deal with traps. —Alorael, who has just realized again how much he likes the Nethergate/Avernum system of traps. Traps should never be circular blobs that are extremely visible. A4, that would be you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish KJMiller Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 So.. Tool Use for Celts must be one of the "???". Interesting.. thanks. Will work in the meantime beefing up those other attributes. k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
