Rotghroth Rhapsody The Reverend Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Looking at the 5th Avadon 2 screenshot, it appears that it will be easier to get to the top-tier skills. They look to only have a single prerequisite (either left or right), rather than two prerequisites they had in Avadon 1 (left and middle, or right and middle). Maybe this will make them more reasonable to target/allow more build flexibility? In any case, I'm looking forward to trying it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Sounds like the skill trees are going to work pretty much like they did in EftP. Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Death Knight Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The skill trees will work well for all the classes including the new class: Tinkermage. Im not really into turrets so much but it looks like a very interesting class based on the walkthrough that Craig Stern did on the class and other classes. I wonder how he will work out with strengths/weaknesses compared to the other warrior classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who haven't seen the preview Death Knight mentioned, you can find it at: http://indierpgs.com...s-out-avadon-2/ The Tinkermage class seems like it might allow for some interesting tactics. Getting excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 You now get to find out the secret of Avadon 2: The Corruption, you start out in pest control fighting rats. Tinkermages don't need friends, they can just create turrets when they are lonely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Death Knight Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Im hoping that Jeff will eventually do a unarmed class with gauntlets like the monk fighter you fight in Avadon. So far only Fallout 1 and 2, Planescape Torment, and Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 have done good versions of that with Planescape and Fallout as over the top. Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 have more of a martial artist version which I don't prefer but is still awesome. I guess Eschalon could very well have that as a class but like Baldurs Gate, is more of a martial artist. Maybe its just me, but a warrior that wields a cestus or spiked knuckles is just the coolest type of fighter you can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Eschalon lets you play an unarmed combat specialist, however in Book 2 you can't get parry like the weapon users. Still it is a fun build especially when you skip armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its much easier to just hit things with a sword or axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
