Seasoned Roamer SacredPath_82 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm wondering, does Anatomy work with Bows? Also, what monsters are considered humanoids (except humans and giants ) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Anatomy only works with melee attacks; it doesn't affect bows or thrown weapons. It's not really a great skill, especially since the Intelligence prerequisite is a waste of skill points for a fighter. I believe that nephilim, sliths and vahnatai all count as humanoid.

Garrulous Glaahk Tarson Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Doesn't it say that anatomy doesn't work with missle weapons in the discription? Or was that just geneforge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on it being wasted on a fighter, though maybe not on a fighting pries/mage. Depends on what creatures are meant by humanoids, though. The description mentions giants, and I take that to mean ogres as well. Goblins maybe too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yeah, I forgot about goblins, although by the time you have access to Anatomy you won't be fighting many of them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 If you need anatomy to kill a goblin, then there is something definitely wrong with your character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't judge my characters until you've read my respective thread and even then don't judge too harshly Just sayin', you could be as high as Level 16 when you encounter your first Swamp Goblin. If your character is i.e. a third slot support cleric with minimal offense and a melee weapon, and he wants to kill the darn goblin in one hit, then yes anatomy could help. But actually, I just mentioned goblins for completeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
