Dumb questions thread

[Final Master]

Alright, after losing yet another very promising character to someone that is invisible when I have a supposedly good see invisible rate up, I really really am confused now.

How is invisibility vs see invisibility determined?

How is stealth factored in vs detection?

What is telepathy power actually checking?

How does spell power effect spells that do not do damage?

Ect. for all the talents that run off of a 'power' number.

How is invisibility vs see invisibility determined? How is stealth factored in vs detection?

Both use (nearly) the same method as attack vs. defense, meaning that the detection chance is 50% if both values are the same, but if the difference is big enough, you end with a 0% or 100% detection chance.
Stealth is measured against a number based on level and cunning.

To prevent more 'noob question' type threads, or very direct title question threads (sorry for my share), can we maybe sticky this one as well? It's got a load of information that is still relevant and is a good place to ask your questions.

How can my non-rogue character use a second weapon in the offhand? Would that require yet another talent?

[Shoob]

any character can wield a one handed weapon in the main hand and a dagger in the offhand. no extra talents needed, just wear the dagger with the offhand empty and the main weapon slot full.

Cashmere < Silk < Elven-Silk.

...and I'd thought that Ash was worse than Elm, but I might have been mistaken.

Elm < Ash < Yew

Oh. That means I can't have a long sword in each hand? What a bummer!

There is a talent that lets you use two longswords but it's only available to one class currently (and the class isn't unlocked at start).

So - I know about classes that are designed to go dual dagger. I know about one class that's designed to dual-wield non-daggers. Is anyone designed to actually go florentine - where the dagger in the offhand is better than a shield or a two-hander, but you don't want a dagger in your primary hand?

No, not yet, and not in T4.

I just got "The Beast Within" quest, but I couldn't find the small village. Any ideas?

Look for a town in the southeast and go north from there.

Actually I feel the Arcane Blade class performs better with 2 weapons once you get your enhancements stacked, but you usually end up with 2 daggers anyway due to higher dexterity and saving generic points for dagger mastery. (But I think this isn't intended... the class just has design flaws as I see it)

I thought you can only use the Arcane Blade stunning blow with a two-handed weapon?
