Their summons are still hostile to you, but this also means their summons are hostile to them, for as long as they're charmed.) For a while there I was confident enough to wander through underground tunnels unbuffed and out of combat mode, which is normally a no-no for torment singletons, because if I met anything I could charm it.īut I'm happy to say that I'm using pretty much everything. (Charming hostile spellcasters is awesome - they'll buff you, and that usually means giving you an old-style Speed spell, or even a Spine Shield. So then suddenly things became doable again, and charming is still a workhorse tactic. With my high spellcraft it was pretty consistently effective. I found everything doable but gradually getting harder, to the point where it was beginning to get frustrating, until I learned Control Foe.
I probably won't bother with any priest spells past Ward of Elements, but I plan to go all the way to Arcane Blow on the mage side. Gymnastics is high enough anyway that I'm in no rush to unlock it, but I'll probably open Lethal Blow in a few levels, since it is supposed to work with spells, too. I have so far unlocked every special skill except Gymnastics, Lethal Blow, and Riposte. No serious effort in archery, but my nephil skills make my bow worth using occasionally.
#Avernum 6 gnass quests plus
I've mostly used sword and shield, with some dual wielding, plus both mage and priest spells. Otherwise, I'm a Divinely Touched Natural Mage nephil named Macavity. It's just that not being able to open things or find things is very annoying, and this is still supposed to be a game. Editing up the Lores with a singleton makes sense to me, since it costs a singleton ridiculously much to reach the Lore levels that a party of 4 can get dirt cheap. Important note: I'm cheating inasmuch as I have edited up my Arcane and Nature Lore, and Tool Use, to enormous levels. (There are two accessible bad bosses that I've decided I can't handle yet, and there may be a few things that I skipped earlier and have now forgotten, but I've been able to accomplish pretty much everything, with some patience. I have a torment singleton who has just gotten his boat, after finishing almost everything that is doable up to that point. So this part is actually boring as I plinked away with a bow.Īnyone else want to discuss running a singleton?
The ability to avoid most attacks mean that the goblins and bats on the lower level of the mines as you crossover on the platforms is 1 to 2%. A trip around the outside of the Depot and it's off to visit Lord Trinket. You finish off the Deep Storage quest just below making 3rd level. So spells are saved to heal at the start. Mage and priest spells at 3 give all the starting spells and only 15 spell energy.
There's nothing wrong with retreating into a corner or doorway. If you take advantage of terrain then you can reduce your attackers to two or less at a time. The goblins are even worse with the goblin warrior at 18%. The huge rats have only an 8% chance and the diseased rat is 18%. Gives an evaision chance of 62% which prevents most monsters from hitting you in the Castle Food Depot and the Goblin Mines. The parry ability and increased carrying capacity from elite warrior aren't enough to beat armor when the best armor pieces in the demo are bulky with to hit chance penalties. There are too many area effect attack places not to have heavy armor as soon as possible. Because there are several places in the demo area where you can't turn back for healing after you start fulfilling a quest, I decided to follow Slarty's advice for a character build in Avernum 4 that emphasizes evaision to avoid taking damage in the first place.Ī nephil with divine touch and natural mage traits is the starting point. It's been a while since I started this game to see if it's possible to play a singleton character at torment difficulty.
