Agonizing at each level up

Post by farley2k »

It is so hard to decide how to spend those 3 points! I am ending up making saves before each level up and playing for awhile to decide if I like what changes. I wish I had a better understanding of how much benefit extra points give. For example how much will it help me to put a point in swords when I already have 7? Is it worth it or will that point be better spent in Heavy armor (which I only have 3 in)? I am probably thinking to much about this!

I recommend to raise at early levels heavy armor (if u are skilled at it...) and your preferred weapon at least at 10-15 on each.

I raised h.armor until i had 10% dmg resist then I bumped sword to lv 15.
Honestly u dont need so much defense until middle of the game.

I hope it help

Put points in Dodge. At 10 you will thank me later. :D

I had H. Armor at 16 near the end of the game.. and it did not seem to do anything(?). VERY occasionally I would get a Damage reduction message when I was hit. It was just too random.

Dodge will save your butt.

Weapon skills will add half of themself to your ToHit and Damage rolls, at least that's the way it appears to me. This means you should try to have it at an even number. ;)

Next level up, I'll investigate armor! ;)
