Okay, so my party leader, an ambidextrous edged weapons user, has progressed through the levels nicely. However, now his strength and dexterity are 20, edged weapons skill is 20, defense 10, assassination 5, and poison 4. And I still have skill points and can't quite justify what to use them on.

What's the most useful non-core trait that I should use them on?

By the way, I really hope you went through Nephil's Gambit or something to get that Poison Use skill rather than actually spending skill points on it.

Assassination and Defense are both important, both are good to hurt the enemy, Defense weakens his attacks too, so I would take this skill. But if you want a quick striker, use Ass. which doubles your hits if you got enough skill in it.

The decision is yours. :P

You know, why the Sliths are green - because of their scales.

Maybe you know why some slith eyes were once red - ´cause the demons, which led them were red.

But why are the eyes of the Slith Lord Followers red? Because they see the remains of their enemies always before the battle begins!

Urr, sorry. I just use a get a couple levels just because, you know. I suppose it's not all that useful anymore since I've got Major Blessing.

Anyway. Assassination, defense, and luck. Got it. Anything else?

Higher Assassination is always a boon in BoE, since you'll eventually outlevel every monster you meet, and assassination can even let you defeat invulnerable foes. Stareye's recommendation of Luck is pretty sound, too - with 5 Luck, you will notice a marked decrease in your dying. With 20, you will be utterly shocked if you are somehow killed.

Poison Use is really worthless, sorry.

Each level of Luck does save you from dying once, sometimes twice (or never) per round. With enough Luck, you are nearly immortal!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

I know that, ´cause I tested it very often myself. :D
