Is there a safe amount of cannisters you can use before your dialog options start changing and you get a worse ending? I'm playing through as a shaper-aligned lifecrafter and havent used any cannisters yet, and i was wondering if it was safe to use one or two without changing the game at all

From what I've seen by looking through the scripts, the lowest check is at 5 canisters and the highest is 12. (The check at 5 is just somebody telling you that he knows you've used canisters, though; it doesn't affect your interactions with him.) I'm pretty sure it takes at least 12 to affect the ending as well.

Keeping canister usage low means you can choose your fights in a few places. You still want them, but you want a chance to buff yourself.

So, Leadership is not as useful to avoid fights when one has used a lot of canisters?

Actually I was wondering how much effect would the canisters even have on one who already used the geneforge. I mean the forge has got to hit you pretty hard just by it self. I'd think the canisters effects would be small compaired to that.

When you get to a dialog choice like Swamped Crossroads or Frostwood you will find that canister usage number outweighs leadership.

With high leadership and low canister usage you can "avoid" the fight, collect some experience, and then kill them one at a time for more experience.
