Tenderfoot Thahd phantom Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I paid Liese to train my sword skills, but when I went to the stats to see what improved, there doesn't seem to be any difference my skill levels. Does this actually improve anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Check out your special items. Trainers work differently in Avadon than in Avernum and Geneforge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fledgling Fyora phlupple Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 1) Do the Hunter's Eye and Hunter's Blade improve only the player's character, or all characters in the party? 2) Are these items essentially useless to a Sorceress using a staff/rod and magical abilities, or do 'magical missile' attacks count as 'missile attacks'? Apologies if this has been asked & answered already. I tried to search for the appropriate thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 1) All characters, I believe. It shows up as a special item. 2) I think it is just bows. Sorceresses and Shamans can use bows and javelins respectively, and this is useful when dealing with abundant fire and magic immune creatures that become more common as the game progresses. I think I've seen analysis claiming the javelin was actually the best weapon for a shaman if you invest in very high dexterity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Shamans can't use bow, only Sorceresses and Blademasters. Sorceress can't use javelins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 On me (pc 1.0 version) Jenell can't equip bow (Longbow, Sage Bow, Black Oak Bow) and Cordelia can't equip javelin (tried several which party has gotten during adventures). I won't believe otherwise until some1 posts pic with Cordelia having javelin and Jenell having bow and even then I suspect photoshopping.

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 No-one is contradicting that. The word "respectively" is key to understanding what Stareye wrote. In other words, "Sorceresses and Shamans can use bows and javelins respectively" means that Sorceresses can use bows and Shamans can use javelins.

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Confirm Stareye's response to your question? Sure, I'll confirm it. Except that it's bows and javelins, which is a little unclear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 And razordisks, for completeness' sake. —Alorael, who realizes they don't fit in the parameters of the original question. But this post will spare someone else from not reading closely enough and asking that question. Everything that goes in the main weapon slot is unaffected, be it a sword, a spear, or a long, straight, magic-shooting thing. Anything thrown or shot from a bow is fair game for improvement.
