Another option is to cast lvl 6 Entangle and take the buzzards out yourself. :twisted: It's best to use Entangle when your opponent is at least 1 step away from you. Alternately, you can step away and come back for the full benefit of the spell. :lol: Predator Sight and Bless at lvl 6 with hide in s...

Any crypt or cemetary that I'm familiar with will have already been thoroughly looted. Where am I supposed to find some ash, other than reloading for the next few days? :) Try buying some from one of the shopkeepers in Aridell, Bordertown or Blackwater. I'm willing to bet that at least one of the 5...

That's funny. I seem to recall it working just fine and then finding a book of shadows. Maybe it was the other way round? :? It has been checked ,and (hopefuly) will be fixed via patch. Then I must have gotten the book first. Couldn't remember if I had happened upon the book before the cloak or not...

I haven't gotten that far myself, but given that others have finished the game; I would say that there might be some part of Vela you haven't investigated. If it's carried by a meanie, perhaps the bag is hidden behind another object (wall or other terrain feature.) I know I've almost missed bags bec...

Don't bother investing in hide in shadows. There's a cloak that grants 3 points that shows up regularly once I get to blackwater. Additionally, I am almost positive I read a book of shadows at one point. Except that the cloak doesnt work if you dont have at least one point in hide in shadows. That'...

A great place to get rid of excess torches is in the quest for the blacksmith's divine ore (blacksmith in Blackwater)

Repeatedly opening the mercenaries hidden door will vaporize 6 of those buggers at a shot. Never see them again!

Yes, a section in the rulebook explaining what potions do, plus a spell list would be nice. I actually really liked discovering spells along the way. Made the discovery part of the game much more exciting. "Hmm, Bordertown. What scrolls are here? Lockmelt? Oh sweet!" Then later in Blackwa...

only problem is that you reap fewer XPs. No biggie with the 'manders, but I prefer to kill everything myself. :twisted: :twisted:
