I was told that raising your defence reduces your encumburance.... Some of my fighters have defence up to 8 or so and still if you have encumburance=5 then you get AP penelty. So i cannot use plate mail without a penelty or a can use chainmail and then no helmet, what do most people do?? Posts: 62 | Registered: Sunday, August 14 2005 07:00 |

I don't have this problem at all. My fighter ussually wears a steel helmet, steel plate mail, pants of speed (which I got in backwater calls, ussually he wears normal pants), gauntlets and a greatsword. Maybe you should try taking his shield? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

This is one of those things that was changed between Avernum 3 and BoA. In A3, it's actually Hardiness that reduces your encumbrance, not Defence.

Anatomy lets you do a little extra damage against humanoid monsters, like nephilim, sliths, ogres, or Empire soldiers. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

I don't think anyone here suggested that healing potions were terribly useful, either. Sure, I could drink a Healing Elixir, but I could also just cast Healing to do better than that for like 2 SP. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

That's got to be because there was no kind of "Major Heal" spell (in-between Minor Heal, Heal, and Revive) like in Exile. Now there's just Heal, and Divine Restoration, but at different levels. -------------------- "Sometimes I get all hungry! And then I catch some flies! They fly into my webs!

quote:It's also quite expensive though, and in Avernum 3 especially, when you hit the damage cap early on, it just doesn't make sense to go for it. BoA makes it all a lot better. First Aid though... it can be useful, but only if you have no energy potions or alchemical ingrediants. Otherwise, as Imban observed, it's easier to cast Heal. Plus, heal is guarenteed to restore HP. First Aid can kill you. Not too clever when that happens either. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?
