What's daunting presence testing with/against?

Some number based off your constitution stat vs the enemy mental save. Doesn't work on fear immune opponents.

Physical power vs. mental save, actually. The bit that scales with constitution is how much their stats go down.

But the code says:

Code: Select all

target:setEffect(target.EFF_INTIMIDATED, 4, {apply_power=self:combatAttackStr(), power=t.getPenalty(self, t), no_ct_effect=true})

and then

Code: Select all

--- Gets the attack using only strength
function _M:combatAttackStr(weapon, ammo)
	return self:rescaleCombatStats(self:combatAttackBase(weapon, ammo) + (self:getStr(100, true) - 10))
end

so I think it tests Strength against Mental Saves, or have I misunderstood the code?

Hey that reminds me... is there a way to split gems so that you can do what I just suggested, keep a couple and sell the rest? If not there should be...

You can sell part of a stack in the actual shops, yeah. Nothing like that for the transmutation chest, though.

That is your accuracy, but swapping STR and DEX, still rescaled like a normal tiered power.

(lines 913-940 in Combat.lua for the curious)

Can you still get category points for talents after level 30 through leveling?

[stinkstink]

Not unless you're in the ID, in which case you get one at 40. There is a way to get one more category point in Campaign, but it involves a boss that appears in the West after you return from the East.

My character just died and I had a ressurection vial of some sort, I didn't see the option to use it. Should I have used it beforehand or equipped or...?

Well, that sucks. Thanks anyway.

You're meant to drink it beforehand! I made the same mistake when I first played the game :(

It's description could be a little clearer. I think quite a few people make this mistake. Sucks to die with a spare life sitting in your inventory.

How do you make a character dump ready for posting?

[Grey]

People generally link to their online profile instead.

This one's offline, unfortunately.
Just made out a dump, didn't notice that 'd' on the character sheet saves it.

Frenzy
Assault nearby foes with 4 fast attacks for 30% (at 0 Hate) to 61% (at 100+ Hate) damage each. Stalked prey are always targeted if nearby.
At level 3 the intensity of your assault overwhelms anyone who is struck, reducing their attack by 13 for 3 turns.
Damage and attack reduction increase with the Strength stat.

What is the "attack" being reduced by this talent? Is it accuracy? Is it physical power?

[Mewtarthio]

"Attack" generally refers to accuracy.

[wobbly]

Is there a way to change the standard bump to attack to say bump to channel staff?
