Kyshakk Koan Tcheedchee Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hello, I've had the message "You gain new insight" at least twice after drinking from basins with potion. I have looked at skill points and traits, but I can't see what this message means. How does it show, that my partymembers have gained new insight? Where should I look for the effects? (Is it just ironic?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Insight basins give a base 400 XP adjusted downward by the current average party level. Kill a party member to help the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Toby-Linn Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Damn, I mostly avoided the basins.....they usually were poisonous or acidic! Now I see the error of my ways. Next time, I will go through the hassle of saving before each basin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Tcheedchee Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hi Randomizer, maybe I don't get the joke… ? That would be heading for single player in the end. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Synergy Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Any of your PCs who is unconscious doesn't count when skill points are given to your party, so all the skill points will be distributed among the remaining conscious ones. Not a joke...strategy! You can revive the unconscious PC later. -S- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 That sounds like it'll only work if you hate one of your PCs. Dikiyoba. Edit: Typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 It also works for players that want to concetrate XP in a character that needs to be a higher level because of XP penalties or it will help make a level to get a needed skill or spell.

Kyshakk Koan Tcheedchee Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 pretty tough… It'd also work to let one be killed towards the end of a fight. When you're sure, you're gonna win. On the other hand, I think it's quite critical to let one character lag behind. My slith did have a lot of trouble in the Drake Pillars/New Harston - area, because of his 'race-penalty'. Also in the beginning of the game, I had chosen to give him 'nimble feet', because I thought an Archer-Pole-Fighter might need it… Meanwhile he's become pretty useful, because we found some nice weapons for him and especially, because he has aquired a lot of battle disciplines. But boy, did that take dying! I still can't send him for meat-shield-actions. Actually all my characters have certain flaws which make them dependend on the others. If any of them dies early in a fight I never win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Sliths don't have a race penalty, to Nalyd's knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Races give bonuses to things other than experience and penalties to experience. That's how they work. Everyone is better than humans. —Alorael, who suspects Jeff of not so subtly hating humanity. The Scorched Earth Party was something of a giveaway.

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Okay, Nalyd usually doesn't consider that a penalty, and it's much less significant of one than it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Tcheedchee Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Well, than maybe it's only the nimble feet penalty. He got 12% experience-penalty, and he lags behind about five levels. On the other hand by now it doesn't really count anymore. He's got a good choice of battle disciplines. The first 10 ones… He really turns a lot of fights by now.

Hatchling Cockatrice Men are from Slars Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 That's a bigger lag than is normally seen. Are your other PCs humans with disadvantages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Tcheedchee Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 No, not at all. I have a human berserker, a human priest, a slith scout and a human hedge wizzard. The only trait I chose was 'fast on feet' for the slith. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 If the slith got killed a lot, then he would miss out on experience while unconscious. That might be part of it. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Tcheedchee Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hey really! That sounds reasonable! The solution always seems so easy, after hearing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he has a 32% total experience penalty with nimble fingers. By the end of the game, normally he should be about 4 levels behind where a human with no traits would be. Sounds like he has been missing out on extra experience while unconscious as well. -S- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
