Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Okay, so my party leader, an ambidextrous edged weapons user, has progressed through the levels nicely. However, now his strength and dexterity are 20, edged weapons skill is 20, defense 10, assassination 5, and poison 4. And I still have skill points and can't quite justify what to use them on. What's the most useful non-core trait that I should use them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 By the way, I really hope you went through Nephil's Gambit or something to get that Poison Use skill rather than actually spending skill points on it.

Garrulous Glaahk Slith Lord Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Assassination and Defense are both important, both are good to hurt the enemy, Defense weakens his attacks too, so I would take this skill. But if you want a quick striker, use Ass. which doubles your hits if you got enough skill in it. The decision is yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urr, sorry. I just use a get a couple levels just because, you know. I suppose it's not all that useful anymore since I've got Major Blessing. Anyway. Assassination, defense, and luck. Got it. Anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Interestingly enough, he shorthand version of assassination is assass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Higher Assassination is always a boon in BoE, since you'll eventually outlevel every monster you meet, and assassination can even let you defeat invulnerable foes. Stareye's recommendation of Luck is pretty sound, too - with 5 Luck, you will notice a marked decrease in your dying. With 20, you will be utterly shocked if you are somehow killed. Poison Use is really worthless, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Slith Lord Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Each level of Luck does save you from dying once, sometimes twice (or never) per round. With enough Luck, you are nearly immortal!!! I know that, ´cause I tested it very often myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
