Fledgling Fyora Morrowless Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 According to the damage calculation sheet linked in strategy central, Nephil get bonus damage from Move Mountain. Is that true? If so, seems like a pretty good incentive to use Nephil, combined with dex stats and missles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Quiconque Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Huh? I just double checked and the damage calculation sheet does nothing like that. This also doesn't make sense. What are you talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Morrowless Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Well that's strange. I put '1' next to Nephil and you can see that it raises Missle damage by 10. And that in turn affects Move Mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Quiconque Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Aha... you meant that being Nephil gives a bonus to Move Mountains, not that it gets a bonus from Move Mountains This is indirectly true, because Nephils get a +10% damage bonus to all physical ranged attacks. That's what you were seeing in the "Missile damage" row. (Note, this will only actually be 10% if you are starting at 100%; if you have other bonuses, it will be proportionally lower.) None of those are really great incentives to use Nephils, unfortunately; it's not that they're bad, it's just that humans with their huge number of bonus traits are better. If you do have a Nephil and you are going Dex + bows (which is also suboptimal in this game, unfortunately), Move Mountains is absolutely a good spell to use... but a regular spellcaster will still dish out a lot more damage with other spells (and run out of SP a lot less).

Fledgling Fyora Morrowless Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yes.. grammar is hard. Too bad about the Nephil. Hopefully Avernum 3 remake gets more useful racials.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
