Abraxx Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I have no clue why I can't enhance my skill in Riposte. I have Blademaster 9 and Parry 9 without being enhanced by items. And nothing wearing to enhance Riposte. Are there more requirements to it or do I need to find a trainer for the first level of the skill? Or can it only be raised with items? Any help appreciated, thanks Abraxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Pliss Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'm probably wrong, but i think you have to a a item enchantment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that this was a typo, so let me clarify what I think he said. You've probably got an item that raises your Blademaster and/or Parry to that level, and you have to meet the minimum level without item bonuses. Remove those items, and gauge how far you have to go still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxx Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well, as I wrote already, I don't have any items on this character which enhance Blademaster or Parry. Hey, I tried raising skills several times now with the character being naked So, no, there must be another reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmisary of Immanence Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 One thing that might be the problem is that you have to raise your skills to the necessary levels for Riposte and then accept the changes and close the training window before you are able to train in Riposte. —Alorael, who thinks that was chosen as the easiest way to prevent people from raising Parry and Blademaster, adding Riposte, and then lowering Parry and Blademaster back to their original levels.

Lilith Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 The Elite Warrior and Divinely Touched traits raise your Blademaster skill. Just like item bonuses, these bonuses don't count toward the prerequisites for Riposte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxx Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Thuryl, thanks, the Elite Warrior trait could explain it. Have to see what happens after leveling more in Blademaster then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Chauncy Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hello Chaps and Chapettes, I have recently bought the game and just finished it (woot) and was wondering about this exact same thing myself. The special skills that you can learn but cannot train in from the beginning, like Parry, magery and Riposte, have minimum requirements to allow you to "unlock" their training. The thing is that I don't know what these requirements are and upon doing a search for this, I can't find a list or post that shows this info. Can anyone actually point me towards a link? The kind soul who provides will get a picture of fish or something. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Chauncy Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Please ignore everything I just said in the post above: I am officially a plonker and a sad day has dawned as pictures of fish will not need to be provided. I know that I could have edited the post but I feel that unless everyone points and laughs at how stupid I am not to look in the very place that you are told to look if you have any questions, the Avernum 4 walkthrough , then I shall never learn. I await any intelligent, scathing yet witty responses with understanding and acceptance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Far be it from me to make you feel more of an oaf than you already do, but editing rather than double posting is considered good etiquette around these parts, especially when there's such a short time between the two posts. No harm done, of course; just something to keep in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
