Spell Aim

[Dwarven Empath]

Does this help 1106, in any way, shape or form?

How much spell aim do you have Nakiro?

Thanks.

[Apotheosis]

it has no impact on 1106

111 is affected by spell aiming and spirit summoning lore
1110 is affected by spell aiming and telepathy lore
1106 is affected by First aid training and manipulation lore (smart people 3x FA and 1x Manipulation), 1106 is also affected by stance and items in the hand.. so open handed offensive = teh win

2x spell aiming is a guidline for training, as well

1110 is affected by Manipulation, Divination, AND Telepathy lores, along with spell aiming.

also transformation lores, which is the most important in my opinion

1106 · Bone Shatter [BONESHATTER]
Duration: Immediate

Type: Attack

As is evident by its title, this spell shatters the bones of the target on a successful cast, using the Empath's Casting Strength (CS). Depending upon which bones are affected by this spell, the target could be killed instantly.

The power of the attack is enhanced upon a successful cast on a target with ranks of Mental Lore, Manipulation.

Bone Shatter will only work on targets that have bones.
Using the CHANNEL command instead of CAST for Bone Shatter with an empty hand will increase damage done.

1110 · Empathic Assault [EMPASSAULT]
Duration: Variable

Type: Attack

Through concentration of will, the Empath becomes capable of focusing his awareness upon his own essence, gaining control over the energies coursing through him, and redirecting the flow until it manifests into a radiant sphere of energy which can be hurl toward opponents.

The successful Empath can infuse the target with his own essence, establishing an initially jarring connection through which he can overcome the natural energy flow of the target.

Training in Spell Aiming is a necessity for the initial bolt attack portion of the spell.

Training in the following lores provide added benefits to Empathic Assault:

Mental Lore, Transformation increases the bolt Damage Factor (DF) of the spell.

Mental Lore, Manipulation increases Casting Strength (CS), starting with +1 at 3 ranks, and reaching its maximum bonus of +13 at 105 ranks.

Mental Lore, Divination decreases the foe's Target Defense (TD) by a maximum of 13.

Mental Lore, Telepathy increases the number of CS attack cycles.

They changed the official documentation to say:

"Removed: Mental Lore, Manipulation increases Casting Strength (CS), starting with +1 at 3 ranks, and reaching its maximum bonus of +13 at 105 ranks.

Added: Mental Lore, Manipulation modifies the warding margin on successful wardings."

Does it make any sense? Is it now better? Worse? Same?

personally, I think empathic assault is over-rated, although it does have its uses.
Someone prove me wrong

[isebumples]

Empathic Assault tore up fire mages when I went there, and I was very young, no, too young to be there. I'm keeping my spell aiming for that reason, and 111 is quite nice for croud control, especially if you have some multi-opponent ranks.
