Greetings Has anyone done or know of a website that has figured out precisely what benefits skills like barter and blademaster provide? I know what the descriptions say, but I'm curious if someone knows more about how they work. For instance, what percent of the value does each point of barter provide, if it works on such a scale? I know I can use the character editor to some degree to figure these out, I'm just curious if someone else already has, and is willing to share. I'm currently playing Avernum. I don't know if the skills change in the sequels or not. Ecaep Posts: 6 | Registered: Wednesday, May 25 2005 07:00 |

One point of Blademaster is equivalent to one point of Melee Weapons plus one point of Pole Weapons. Barter is more complicated. Someone once constructed a table of how different shopkeepers react to different levels of Barter. All I remember was that the point was that you only needed a few points of Barter to get the best possible prices in some shops, but you needed a lot more to get the best possible prices in every shop. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Does anyone know how useful the skills gymnastics and anatomy are, or what they do? Thanks. Ecaep Posts: 6 | Registered: Wednesday, May 25 2005 07:00 |

Gymnastics is awesome. It makes you act faster in combat, but more importantly, when you raise it to 10 or so, low-level creatures can't hit you anymore and other things have significant disadvantages to hitting. I've never noticed Anatomy make any difference, but it claims to provide a little more damage to humanoid creatures (and a bonus to First Aid, as if that mattered). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

No, undead don't count as humanoid. Give a weapon that does bonus damage to undead or something instead -- unoriginal, I know, but I keep my creative ideas to myself. :P -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Yeah, just make something like a quest at the beginning for some item that has a +20 against Undead or something. -------------------- And everybody say....Yatta! Posts: 1287 | Registered: Thursday, August 14 2003 07:00 |
