Articulate Vlish Shaper Mateus Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hi i was thinking about making a servile singleton that can only use a baton (crystals are acceptable too). For that i would put most points into missile weapons (maybe up to 20 or something). As anyone ever tried to do something like this? is it effective? What kind of spells should i use to support myself? (battle magic is out of question, blessing is a must, and healing craft too to some degree, will mental magic help me?) I've just finished the game with a pro-shaper, canister free infiltrator with 25 in battle magic and 15 in spellcraft, so I'm kind of a magic dependent freak right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Delicious Vlish strongly recommended a baton/missle weapon approach since submission and later reapers will be as devastating as melee weapons if you raise missle weapons and dexterity. Crystals are sometimes overlooked, but they need only 3AP so they can provide an extra attack or two even when not hasted. Mental spells are a must since daze, strong daze, charm, and mass madness will keep groups of creations from attacking you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Shaper Mateus Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 i was just thinking, what type of damage do batons deal? thorn baton is obviously physical, while the acid and venom batons are probably 50% magical/50% physical. I'm not sure about the submission baton, i thought that maybe it had a bit of magic too, and I'm blank with the reapers. Forget about mass madness I've seen all endings except the canister free pro-rebel, so unless anyone tells me how that ending goes, I'm not gonna use a single canister.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Venom and acid thorns do physical damage, but they cover the target with poison and acid. Submission thorns do physical damage and stun the target. Reapers just do a lot of physical damage. Dikiyoba likes submission batons the best. Stunning is really nice when you're hasted and a safe distance away from the target. Edit: Typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Shaper Mateus Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 in case anyone cares (which i doubt), my baton servile has reached illya by now. He can deal around 55 damage with venom batons with 8 in missile weapons. Using 2 icy crystals and one regular attack in a turn can be quite devastating (i dealt ~110 damage to Shaila with the crystals and ~50 with the baton, therefore killing her in 1 turn) The servile's endurance and daze also helps a lot. It's going better than i thought. EDIT: does anyone know where the first acid baton appears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 There's one in Rocky Point (in the northwest corner) and another in Eliza's Bunker (near the thahd). Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Shaper Mateus Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 well I'm off to rocky point then, thanks (I probably shouldn't go near Eliza for the time being, with all the pro rebel stuff and all...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Shaper Mateus Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 meh ended up without ammo before i got to moseh, probably due to bad management, so i decided to edit scripts (i love doing that). Now batons didn't need ammo, but i was still bored so i decided to make a living tool that acts as a weapon and shoots reapers out of fun, needless to say that made me get bored even quicker oh well... better edit more scripts to check the possibilities, thanks a lot Jeff for giving me the opportunity to wreak havoc among the people of terrestia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 ...hmmm. Batons that don't need ammo. The simplest edit yet, and I can't believe I never tried it. For somebody like me, who goes crazy if he has to conserve his primary offense, that would make playing a missile-based character fun again.

Articulate Vlish Shaper Mateus Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 just delete the "nº of charges" also, delete the nº of charges of crystals as well and... well you know what will happen (3 attacks unhastened, resulting in catastrophic damage every turn, especially with madness and torrent gems) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Zummi Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Meh.. Just put (it_ability 58;) under a weapon name and poof! You get an unlimited Reaper Baton-like weapon..
