Noobie question about skills and abilities


Aeden

Recommended Posts

I am new to this series and bought the game from the App Store. So far I am loving it and it brings back those old Ultima days.

 

Anyway, I have a question about skills and abilities that is probably simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.

 

I put several points in the Fireball skill with Nathalie. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to actually use this. When I try to use an ability or add it to the quickbar, the Fireball isn't there.

 

So my question is simple: How do I use a Fireball? tongue

Related Question: There are many recommendations to "pump" attributes. Are there any limits to the distribution. Eg, it seems that if melee characters need strength and dexterity and also need endurance (they all need endurance?) they won't get much intelligence even if they both do magic?

Are there minimums?

You gain every 4 levels one of each of the 4 attributes: strength, dexterity, intelligence, and endurance. The only time you need minimums is to equip armor and weapons. Once they are equipped you no longer need the minimum.

 

Fighters don't need intelligence. Especially since they are likely to suffer from mental attacks anyway since more intelligent characters do to.

Shiva tends to get quite easily charmed (or used to since no cahrmers since Mor's tower) and sometimes all three are (were) under daze or paralyzed.

Melee characters don't do magic, except with the aid of scarabs. Fortunately, offensive scarab damage is based on Dexterity for both BM and SW.

Many thanks. This is all totally new to me and your help and the forum in general are keeping me in the game.

It has taken me weeks and a lot of help to get thru the Titan Peaks quest on casual, but now I think I am getting close to being able to fly on my own and move on and up. I love this game!

But I would have bailed long ago without the kind of help I have been getting, especially from you, randomizer and Lilith .

Thanks again. smile
