Everybody else starts off with 50 or so. The difference really is significant, as I have found out with Kilbright.

I was able to start off with 3 in every spell section, some herbcraft, 1 in melee and slings, luck, fairy lore, and some small investment in to my physical stats. Can't remember what right now. I think I was able to raise everything up to two.

So far, I have found running backwards for three spaces and summoning a wee beastie is sound practice for combat. Wee beastie than goes and eats a few goblins, while I brain them with my sling.

Go back and make sure you finish the first quest.

Party creation? in Nethergate

Both Romans and Celts.

How do you create the perfect party for your adventures?

For those folks who play singles, how do you do it? I know there are single Romans, but what about Celts?

I'd love to see how different people do things.

If you had clicked the link near the top of the forum, you would have had the answer right now.

You need a pair of shaped gloves, some demon bile, and some mandrake tincture. Mix the two liquids together and then use the resulting potion on the gloves.

I did finish the game.

However, it reached a point where I could no longer do the full clears as I had intended. I ended up avoiding some of the end game areas. I did not fight the Titan. I probably could have... But I didn't. As it was, the final battle took a long time.

I finished, extremely loyal to the shapers. In the end, I had Coldclaw, Vlindaloo, and Dingbat. I became, more or less, a walking healing battery for my pets and others around me. Much to my amazement, I managed to keep Alwan and Miranda alive right up to the end.

In the end, the warrior falls flat. Sorry, but he does. Sure, you can do 200 or 300 damage with a reaper baton, but you can only do it to one creature at a time, and ammo is limited. Swords fail miserably.

Regeneration is an extremely powerful, if somewhat subtle spell. Most classes will never realise this, because they don't need it. Mage types blow stuff up way to quick, and shaper types pound their enemies with swarms of monsters, never taking damage. Warriors, take note. When you are hacking away with a sword against a swarm of melee enemies, you probably don't have the time to down a healing pod, and they don't do much good anyway. Every turn spent downing a healing pod is a turn where the enemy is not taking damage, BUT YOU ARE. Regeneration, paired with life steal type items, like life drain from a sword, and various vampire items, while it might not seem like much at first, it adds up considerably, but you must be devoted to it. I would get back considerable hit points from regen, and top off a little more from life steal. It was worth it. I still had to cast heal, but if I took 200 damage in a round and gained back 100ish or so hit points, I was ok enough to keep fighting a while longer. It really slowed down how much time I had to waste healing.

I did manage to get my self the shaper trueweave. Yeah, I took down the soul taker twins and the old golem. Yes, it was hard. Yes, it took some reloads. I didn't wear it, but I managed to get it. Mostly, I needed the ring you get in there to boost blessing magic.

The oozing blade is a really good sword. I had lots of good swords. But the oozer is the one I kept at the ready most of the time. If you are going to go down fighting, this is the blade to do it with. It will last you through to the endgame.

I don't mean ALL rogue creations... Just some. Have, say, one of each creation type, hidden through different areas of the game. A fyora. An artilla. A roamer, etc. They would start out with a blue ring. With the right leadership and the right kind of food, they could be lured in to your care. Failure to tame them would make them hostile.

You could even make them special types... In this manner, the player could have submission vlish, burnout fyoras, icingdeath roamers, the different sorts of unique creature types.

In battle, special care of these creatures would be needed. Instead of being filled with terror and running away, said creature would return to a rogue state, maybe even turning on you.

How about the ability to lure rogue creations in to your care with food? Seriously. Why not? I mean, you can adopt creatures like Greenfang and all the others in previous geneforges...

Ok. I might not be a mod in this section, but I don't think we should all be pig piling another member just for being a little weird.

Really. Cut it out folks. This isn't cool. This is not what makes a community strong.

You know what? War trall attacks should be painfully obvious.

They should throw big black anvils!

And it should even have a comical cartoony anvil sound.

Of course, the best way to make a trall more effective would be the ability to 'sacrifice' a baton by dropping it on to the character icon, allowing said creation to be 'armed' with it.

It would make fetching the reaper baton down where the Titan is both worthwhile and reasonable.

Script question about Creations in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

I have ideas how battle creations could be vastly improved but it would make battle creations that you encounter much harder.

Very simple ideas.

Hominoid battle creations, such as thahds and the whole alphabet gang, should all be two fisted fighters. In one round, two attacks, one from each fist.

Bugs should cause paralysis. A very small chance for clawbugs. And they should deal extreme poison damage. The plated bugs should have a higher chance of paralysis, and deal acid damage with their sting. Paralysis wouldn't just be a stun effect, it would be stripping enemy action points down to zero.

Rotters should have an acidic vomit ability. The ability to projectile vomit blobs of acid at range. (Spray acid attack) The upgraded form should have burning flatulence. Hey, it is a corpse, remember? A cloud of acid effect. Also, they should have a revenge effect. Attacker takes acid damage on striking. To simulate the spattering that would happen when struck.

Tralls should have a spine effect... Natural spikes, and lots of them. Attacker takes heavy physical damage in return, and the damage would continue for several rounds to simulate the spines being lodged in their body. (think porcupine) Instead of rocks, tralls should be able to launch spines out of their body. These spines would do massive physical damage on the first round, and would continue to do damage over several rounds. Shock tralls would be much the same, only higher damage on the thorns return. Instead of a single spine, they would launch a nova of spines in all directions, striking everything around them with spines that would continue to do damage over several rounds.

Shotwell was somewhat sturdy, she is a missile character after all. She didn't do a whole lot of damage, but she did help.

Mostly she was nice for roleplay and background.

I dunno. I have walked through the game using nothing but battle creations, as a recreation of my infamous Goon Squad™. I've done it in each and every Geneforge game so far.

They have some shortcomings, but are perfectly workable. Even Tralls can be quite good, provided that you know what you are doing.

Single most important aspect in a Goon Squad™, numbers. If you have an open roster slot, you are doing something wrong. Enemies should be swarmed and pounded under a flurry of punches, pinches, stings, and or hurled rocks. Never underestimate the tender loving care that 4 or so battle betas are capable of, even on torment. Plated bugs are excellent shock troops, especially when hasted.

Disposable Thahds are actually good for a Goon Squad™.

Especially fun if you give your pc and all your pets Mafioso names.

"Vinnie... Guido... Go break this bum's legs and teach him some manners."

"Alwan, tonight, you sleep with the genetically modified fishes."
