A few questions need answering

[Endaar]

Minor Spiritual Spell #110 (Unbalance) - Just what does the description for the lore training mean when it says it "increases the power of the attack upon a successful cast"? Will it increase the chance that the target is knocked down, or does it merely increase the blood loss of the victim?

Enhancives for ability scores - Do enhancives stack with maximum ability scores? i.e., if I have a 100 Wisdom (which is 25 Wisdom Bonus, or at least that's what it lists on the character sheet), does wearing/using an enhancive that offers "3 to Wisdom bonus" now gives me a 28 Wisdom Bonus total? Or does it simply not work?

Magic Item Use / Climbing / Swimming - how much of these skills will I REALLY need? Have never been able to get a definitive answer for tis.

For MIU, I want enough to : do well at alchemy (eventually), do well at blessing spells into gems (with Holy Receptacle), do well at activating the most difficult spells in the most difficult ways (opposing-school level 20 spells by raising, for example), get longer durations for small statues, black crystals, etc (is there a diminishing returns on the value of MIU here? or does the duration steadily increase with the amount of ranks?)

For Climbing / Swimming, come on, no bogus answers. To reach the endgame areas at, say, a 75% success rate, what level of swimming/climbing do I need?

Thanks!

I think the acrimonious sentiment in our country's political landscape is due to the desperation of both political parties trying to hold onto power.

Flat damage increase. Think something along the lines of a DF increase.

You can go above the max. +20 to the bonus, or +40 to the stat.

20-30 ranks of MIU at cap. You could get away with less, but you would suck. Climbing 50, Swimming 50 to access every area of the game with a nice chance of success.


For MIU, I want enough to : do well at alchemy (eventually), do well at blessing spells into gems (with Holy Receptacle), do well at activating the most difficult spells in the most difficult ways (opposing-school level 20 spells by raising, for example), get longer durations for small statues, black crystals, etc (is there a diminishing returns on the value of MIU here? or does the duration steadily increase with the amount of ranks?)

That changes things. Black crystals do not have durations, neither does Blue crystals (for the most part). I imagine you mean white, which is strength. There is no diminishing returns for duration increases. It is 1 psuedo-spell rank for every 2 ranks of MIU, I believe.


For Climbing / Swimming, come on, no bogus answers. To reach the endgame areas at, say, a 75% success rate, what level of swimming/climbing do I need?

You could get away with 40, but you would fail every now in then in the Rift and at the Nelemar swim. That Ta'Vaalor path into Ta'Faendryl may require a bit more than 50 ranks in each skill. So, between 40-50. A bit more if you want to go from Ta'Vaalor to Ta'Faendryl.

+Rep for Fallen for wicked and honest answers. Thanks!!!

-Rep for the two losers above that.

Yay fallen. Very informative.

[Nuc]

On a side note, you can probably expect to drown hunting on the 2nd floor of Nelemar with 50 swim if one of the tritons grabs you.

I'm concerned I might never recover from this negative rep. Whatever shall I do?

This advice works in so many instances.

[Archigeek]

Note: there's a cap for max bonuses via any and all means. I'm pretty sure it's +50 totaly bonus to stat, (or +50 skill bonus via enhancives above training in a skill).

I recommend 65 ranks in climbing if you're going to be using the threads/stairs in the rift, if not, 40 ranks is enough to get you up the mountain. Actually 40 is enough on the stairs/threads so long as you're not encumbered, but the whole point is to be able to leave encumbered...

RE: MIU and scroll reading, it really depends, as was alluded to by Fallen, on what you intend to use them for. If you have nice items, you're going to want more ranks for longer duration. Also, if you're going to be working on alchemy and blessing items as stated, that's an entirely different ball game. I would think you'd want a pile of ranks if you're a cleric, but that's not my area of expertise.

That sounds like one of those Courage Wolf sayings.

Yes.

We're all set now! When we go to India we know where to order saunas!

[Kamkor]

Not just any sauna...but an infrared one!

For one brief moment, we will know what it is to be a Mc'Donalds burger.

Necroing my own thread :-)

Another mechanics question :

For spell 118 (Web) --

Warding version : According to the official text, this does not take into account SL:Summoning ranks at all, and only the MnS casting strength. Is this right?

Area version : Seems clear enough.

Bolt version : Is this like other bolt spells in the sense that if I do not have any Aiming skill, this version of the spell will be useless to me?

Thanks in advance...
-E.

[Asrial]

Warding Version: Yes, only your Minor Spirit Casting Strength determines success of the hit.

Bolt Version: Yes, if you have no Spell Aiming training, this will be a useless version to use.

Masturbating into an envelope sounds like a remarkably good idea, untill you get excited and paper cuts ensue.
