It may look like shit but it will offer a choice of real RPG (that is realtime) combat instead of strategy game combat, which is so rare these days. It also takes inspiration from the best RPG of all time, BG1. Hopes, fears, dreams?
>>3488656I played the demo and it was extremely bad.
>>3488657why? im playing Shadowrun: Returns and its bad but still gonna finish itis it even worse?
>>3488656Another slavshit RPG right?>from the creators of ATOMThe game that was filled with shitty Russian board culture references, whilst also unapologetically ripping off Fallout?Unless they hired someone professionally to write their game for them, it's a hard pass
>>3488656Too low fantasy for me, unlike BG1. Same reason I didn't like Witcher 3. Never go full medieval filth.
>>3488671yeah Atom was awful, half-finished slav junkthing is theres no more new real RPGs out there anymore. just some LGBT faggotry a nigger culture slop for kidsi gonna try demo if its ATOM 2.0 then fuck this game
>>3488661Yeah, combat isn't interesting at all and there's basically a focus on tons and tons of really lazily implemented skill checks in dialogue.
>>3488710eh i tried it, game crashed but its clearly early alpha. nothing special, very predictable dialogues, fights were meh. im dropping it for now
>>3488656I hope the game turns out as good as Atom RPG and Trudograd did. I think it will be fun.
>>3488661>im playing Shadowrun: Returns and its bad but still gonna finish itYou know you can stop eating garbage any time. There are good games you can spend your energy on. Other activities. You can read a book.
>>3488957>read a bookgot any recs? been looking for something new.
>>3488958Solaris by Lem
>>3488656>Atom devsThese guys are absolutely closet troons. Notice how the majority of Atom's content is for female MC. The companion roster is a total sausagefest, the only available female companion can't even fight. Every town is filled with sexual encounters where a female MC gets fucked by old men but there's barely any women for a male MC to fuck. Autogynephilia issues guaranteed. Fucking weirdos.
>>3489022already read years ago, and the cyberiad, which i prefer.
>>3489023>self-inserter tries to relate himself to otherssome people see controlling a female being like controlling a doll. and russians seem to enjoy manipulating and forcing women to do things. so i don't think it's autogynephilia, but rather misogyny.
>>3489040Annihilation then
>>3489128you have a particular fetish, huh?
>>3489223science fiction you mean?try Pale Fire by Nabokov then
>>3489042Really if you're not a misogynist these days, something is wrong with you.I don't like puppet NPCs in the first place though, all your party members should have AI.
>>3489042Russians do like putting dolls inside dolls. Lesbian MCs make more sense now.
demo sure was barebones shit
looks like an atom prg reskin, fuck off not pirating your slop
Sell me on this game. I tried watching a video of this and the player character had like 30 HP at level one, got surrounded by a pack of wolves, took 1 or 0 damage from their bites despite wearing rag cloth, and stabbed them all to death with a dagger with 2 hits each. Really didn't impress me.
>>3491471>Sell me on this gameIt's free.
>>3491432Three guesses what games the developers previously made.
>>3488656Why are the cuckold devs stealing the bg 1 plot?
>>3491699Why did the cuckolds at Bioware steal Highlander's plot?
>>3491471>Sell me on this game.They fixed the "DEX = God stat that determines your AC, chance of hitting/damage whether you're melee or ranged, your action points, your spell resist and literally every other fucking thing"-favoritism that has plagued every single CRPG's ever since third edition D&D rolled around and made heavy armor builds actually viable. That alone makes this game the single best CRPG released in decades.
LonaRPG is a thing you know, and I bet its still 100x more immersive that this shit.
>>3491706Bg1 plot was originally the highlander plot?
>>3488958Take the Dostoevsky pill
>>3492494There can be only one Bhaalspawn, says the Ku-Sarevok.
>>3492506i won't, if only to prove that i'm not a rational person
>>3492506Dostoevsky is for dumb teens.
>>3492420>sell me on this game>mindbroken D&D/PF baby starts rambling about the base stat system not being as putrid as the games he normally plays>nothing mentioned about encounter design or difficultylol ok
Reminder that the retarded paypigs on codex bankrolled this then realized it was complete dogshit like 2 days later and can't get their money back.
>>3492548Thinking it's for dumb teens tells me you're incapable of understanding it beyond the level of a dumb teen. Let me guess, you read Crime and Punishment and your only takeaway was "Raskolnikov feels bad about killing someone"? Please go back to reading "A Court of Cunts" and kindly stay out of the aisle for actual adult literature.

>>3492506not an RPG >>>/lit/
>>3492562lol did this really happen?
>>3492815Not really, there was no massive call for like with pillars, numenera or pathfinder and there was a combat demo so most people were aware what they were funding*hard to be tricked unless you fund without caring).. You can check the actual thread anyway, no need for registration
>>3492815Yeah, they donated thousands of dollars while they were downloading the demo then the thread went dead silent.

>>3492560The poster i was responding to asked me to sell him on the game, not autistically critique every single encounter in the free proof of concept demo. Play the game and make your own judgement, for me personally the most immediately exciting thing was the realization i could dump dex freely.>>3492810Why don't you post some games that differentiate themselves from the trend, then? You do know you don't have to be a contrarian retard to literally every single thing ever said to desperately try to fit in, newfag-kun? There's a reason "i am sure to win because my speed is superior!!" has been a meme for literal decades.
>>3492562For contrast, the devs came here and cried because we did not like the demo.
>>3492831>Why don't you post some games that differentiate themselves from the trend, then?ok, here we goDOS games don't do thatPoEs don't do thatAge of Decadance doesn't do thatUnderrail dex has a lot of impact, but AC stuff is agilityWasteland 3 doesn't do thatnow it's your turn, list the gamesbecause in fact the only of at least somewhat recent games that come to my mind for which it is partially true would be the PF ones

>>3492886>obviously disregarding your pathetic attempt to include games that are US legal drinking ageWoah, it's almost like my entire point was always that DEX = king stat that governs literally everything and/or is required for every "build" has been dominant design ever since 3rd edition D&D aka almost 30 fucking years, zoom-zoom.

>>3492858They literally did on the demo release day. Which you didn't participate in because you don't pay attention. Look up the last thread in the archive.
>>3492942i don't remember them crying, they came in and took their licks saying they didn't expect anything else from this place.
>>3492949yeah looked it up.
>>3491471Doesn't sound to goodShame, I like the visual style
>>3492420anon that was fixed by pillars of eternity like a decade ago
>>3493282>fixed>hey what if there was one single stat for damage and healing called might >and what if there was one stat called resilience that literally everyone dumpsCome on, now.
>>3493288You can see what Pillars was going for. They were trying to make it so nothing was a dump stat, that they would all have their use.Didn't really work out, but it seems like too many RPG players have been trained for too long in dump stats and exploits and find it hard to give them up.
>>3493294If they wanted that they shouldn't have made RES useless. They didn't even learn from PoE because RES is still the most dumped stat in PoE2.
>>3493309RES is important if you’re roleplaying and want to resolve certain quests in certain ways, and can be worth taking on the main character for that reason alone, although obviously as a combat stat it’s not great. I’ll build a tanky paladin MC with high str, high res, and a dash of int.Personally I never dump anything in pillars, I leave everything at 10 and then give everyone (custom parties are the only way to play, naturally) either a 20 and an 18, or maybe two 18s and a 12. Races chosen for roleplaying and not min maxing, of course. Agreed with other anon, the “every stat is useful to everyone” is a neat idea but poorly implemented.
>>3493294>it's the players who are wrongholy cope.
>>3493288Well it does fix the 2 issues you originally mentioned, there is no king stat since everyone benefits from every stat, and heavy armor is important for tanksI also disagree that everyone dumps res, but yes for ultimate challenges lot of builds doAnyway, from what I've seen about s:ic, you would be much better off playing pillars instead of that junk, implying you haven't already of course, as that was my impression
The real fix to attributes is to not have them. Skyrim wins.
>>3493549this. stats are a type of braindead essentialism, attributes should flow backwards from skills, they aren't static and all problems about them flow from their prominence in character creation.
>>3493294>Didn't really work outhow so?almost everyone I know dumps stats in dnd and pf crpgs, but almost no one I know dumps stats in poe games
>>3493549No, the true fix is to make them all essential. You want to use an axe? You better have the stats:>Strength to lift it>Dexterity to swing it without falling over>Constitution to swing it more than once>Intelligence to swing it at the right target>Wisdom to know when not to swing it>Charisma to look good while you do
>>3493565>almost everyone I know dumps stats in dnd and pf crpgs, but almost no one I know dumps stats in poe gamesLook at the challenge builds and how many of them absolutely dumpster res. Yeah, you can roleplay or theme build or whatever but that's just fluff in the end and you can do the same in dnd and pf if you really want to.
so judging by absence of any discussion on the game itself, i recon no one played and/or it's shit?
>>3493549>>3493555Correct. Good posts.>>3493584Wrong, possibly bait.
Manletbros, why they have to do us like this?
>>3493644Does that affect character model?
>>3493617it's a demo to fish for kickstarter money where potentially everything will change in the release. i have no interest in playing that kind of thing because i don't do crowdfunding.
>>3493650Not in this demo. There are a few backgrounds like that with "your character is visible fat/tall/short/muscular", but they don't show on the player model. Maybe it will come up in dialogue.>[Short of Stature] *You look up at Lady Arabella through her cleavage. This battle can end only one way.*
>>3493644>i can pick a lock better and be more dexterous because i'm shortDude, they are throwing you a lot of bones there. There's zero advantage to being short.
>>3493644>i'm sure to win thanks to my greater dexteritykek
>>3493605>Look at the builds a tiny percentage of players are doing-_-> you can do the same in dnd and pf if you really want to>if you REALLY want toexactly you have to really want to
>>3493759That's not my point, dude. It's that at the highest levels of difficulty Res is dumped for a reason. We're talking about mechanics here, not "for roleplay reasons" or any of that nonsense. And "if you really want to" was about crippling your build's effectiveness for roleplay reasons, not for optimizing. Reading comprehension.
>>3493617The demo is insanely bad, the thread is just full of retarded slavs shitting up the board as per usual. Of course none of them even tried the demo.
>>3493773>t. board shitter who constantly complains
>>3493771>at the highest levels of difficulty Res is dumped for a reason. We're talking about mechanics hereyou obviously either don't know what you are talking about or are dishonestduring challenge runs, the hardest thing the game has to offer, res and con are dumped due to the way people exploit meta knowledge about other systems (in particular level design, stealth system, consumables and summons) to not get hit at all. Not because res and con don't provide mechanically sound benefitsno one plays the game like that normallythe only reasonable way of telling if poe's system succeeded at discouraging dumping starting attributes is to look at the fraction of players' dumped-stat builds. And while we don't have access to such data apart from anecdotal evidence, we can compare build recommendations [for normal game modes of course] found online. And PoE will have a statistically significant 'less dumpy' builds compared to say DnD or PF. Which I just confirmed by doing a quick search and you can do it yourself
>>3493695>There's zero advantage to being shortSmaller target for incoming small arms fireMore energy efficient in terms of kilocalories required>t. Tall
this game is fucking insane because it has a toggleable isometric setting.isometric on, it looks amazing. isometric off, it looks like asset flip vatnik slop
>>3493933https://x.com/warlockracy/status/1774381459521867897I know>twitterbut its an excellent highlight.I have to wonder, maybe it's a good thing isometric fixed camera is an obscure game design choice. We would have so much garbage that is hard to distinguish from actual good games if it was more common.
>>3493925Eh,acceptable, and they make far better fighter pilots too. But, still not worth it in the context of medieval combat.
>>3488656>look like shitWhat? It looks comfy>>3488657Why? What's wrong?
>>3492420Have you been living under a rockThat hasn't been an issue for a loooong time, just take poe as example
>>3493644>manlet gets dexMeh.. seems the system is really uninspired
>>3493933It looks exactly the same. Are you retarded? Go actually fix your awful game's gameplay.

>>3498877saying huh like an idiot is a dumb use of words by a dummy too, retarded anon, when i'm calling "game's gameplay" retarded. lol, what a retard.
>>3499041games have gameplaythe wording could be betterbut what's retarded about it?sounds like you are a venting midwit ngl, hopefully you didn't get misgendered or something you kids don't like these days
>>3493824its the moeblob tranny whose whole schtick is pretending to hate games he thinks are or will be popular here.
>>3500278>gAMes hAvE GaEmpLaY>random tranny accusationok kiddo
>>3488673Whats wrong with low fantasy or no fantasy? Something like KCD or Warband are fucking amazing. Really the only thing you need to do is make it somewhat realistic.
>>3503425KCD is terrible
>>3503426KCD is great, wym? The world is genuinely one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in a video game with a good story and good RPG mechanics.
>>3503430>good RPG mechanicslol
>>3503435>Has a separation between player skill and character skill that is tied to the story and the characters background>You quite literally have to learn to read due to your character being a smith and not know how to do so, also words are visually fucked until you learn to do so>You can't fight for shit until you learn from BernardTouching on the gameplay mechanics, aesthetic choices for armor design and world building it literally mogs pretty much every other RPG, fantasy or otherwise. The only other game that comes close is Warband/VC due to both placing an emphasis on verisimilitude.
>>3503437>gameplay mechanics>it literally mogs pretty much every other RPG, fantasy or otherwiselol, lil' broski doesn't like rpgs and hangs out on an rpg board. what a maroon. what nincompoop.
what stats are essential? is an unga bunga intimidate STR build viable?
>>3503443I do, hence the reason I am replaying NWN 1 and Morrowind. Both would be better with more realistic armor and weapons.
>>3503449ngl but I've never made it more than 30 minutes in to NWN:2 because of how ridiculous and over the top the starting gear looks. It all looks like late game mmo schlock.
>>3503629Realistic armor is a really big pet peeve of mine tbqh. Most games, especially those set in medieval/antiquity settings have terrible, cartoonish armor designs. The worst offenders are anything relating to NW-Europeans who end up being a mixture between someone's homo-erotic fanfic and African bush people tier civs instead of this. European society in general is always portrayed wrong. I have no idea why considering we have so many historical sources and artifacts.
>>3503449>I am replaying NWN 1 and Morrowindlmao
>>3503642I can't help that you have shit taste in aesthetics and games anon.
>>3491471This is crap for 90 IQ slavs that think playing BG2 with cheated stats over and over again is entertaining.
>>3489023Stop projecting and sperging
>>3503425>It also takes inspiration from the best RPG of all time, BG1It's just that if the dev really wants the BG1 audience, he has to take the aesthetic into consideration. There's a magic temple and shop in every town, because it's that kind of adventure.
>>3503449lol, you sure have great taste in rpg mechanics...
>>3504211Thank you, I know. I like things to make sense narratively and tie into gameplay, and I also expect most worlds to have internally consistent logic.
>>3504232yeah, i know your type. it's called little brained autism and it leads to constant whinging about "muh immurshun" that has nothing to do with game mechanics.
>>3488671What's up with all these slavgames these days?
>>3488656>art is all asset-pack retard shitJust look at the fucking fences man. What the fuck
>>3504257> constant whinging about "muh immurshun"Being able to immerse yourself in a game world and story is quite important though. Even if the game is bad you can often power through it if the story and world space is enticing enough.>that has nothing to do with game mechanics.It often does though. Even something simple like armor types working differently against different weapons and actually being effective while looking functional is important. Look at Mount and Blade, or KCD. There is genuine progression outside of "healthbar bigger". Militia weapons and bows with low draw weight stop being effective at a certain point. While KCD's need to eat and sleep mechanics may not be as good as say, Outwards, they provide something to break up gameplay and a need to manage resources.I can't think of a single reason why you would want the badly design, mismatched ugly dogshit that is fantasy "armor" or to go with the awful tropes that fantasy games often portray about certain cultures, when the real thing is at least 10x more interesting.
>>3504184As long as they stay away from the hoity thoity british accent faggot dialogue tropes, or the anachronistic swearing new yorker in new amsterdam tropes. BG1 did it so perfectly. Having almost no voice-acting helped greatly. Come to think of it, voice acting fucking ruined RPGs
>>3504277I agree. I don't mind character barks but I find a shit ton of resources and time is wasted on mediocre voice acting, when effort could have been spent elsewhere.
>>3504276mountain blade is horribly inaccurate mechanically, aesthetics aside. bows are far too good because they are assigned piercing damage and blunt is ridiculously focused on knocking people out rather than crushing skulls. bg1 did damage types better. you aestheticsfags are invariably idiotic.>KCD's need to eat and sleep mechanicswow, very roleplay.
>>3504289Hell even "good" voice acting is terrible. BG 1 did it just right. Have a line or two voiced over so you have an idea of what the character sounds like and how they speak. Then your mind can work with that as you read the dialogue. These modern voiceover cinematic animations are doubly terrible; they speak slower than you read, and a lot of time is wasted on pauses for flourishes in animation. FUCK it's filling me with autistic rage just thinking about it. This is why I never post
>>3504308>mountain blade is horribly inaccurate mechanicallyFor when the game was made and for the gameplay style they are going for, it shits on everything else. Fuck, it even mogs most other action RPGs like TES series despite them trying (and failing) to implement directional combat.>bows are far too goodThey are good in the players hands, not so much the NPCs. They fall off fairly hard once you start fighting against anyone with mail armor because at that point you need an actual war bow, not something for hunting small game like the militia have.>lunt is ridiculously focused on knocking people out rather than crushing skullsTwo handed? Yes. One handed? No.>bg1 did damage types better.No, not really. The AC system as is present in D&D games or really any system based off D&D is pretty shit. European metallurgy reached a point where you basically couldn't kill someone without wrestling them down and stabbing them with specialized daggers through the visor / after lifting up the visor, beating them for several minutes with dozens of men all of whom are equipped with two handed AA weapons as in the Hussite war, or using guns. D&D and the AC system doesn't really represent this well. Accuracy doesn't mean shit if you literally can't hurt your opponent with the weapons you have on hand.>wow, very roleplay.More so immersion, which was your point but it does help playing a role, yes.
>>3504315I don't think I mind it as much for New Vegas or KCD as compared to any other game. No idea why but it doesn't bother me there too much. I think its the fact that the people you run into who have voice lines aren't the same 3 voice actors you have been hearing all game, especially those who are important to the main quest or followers. NWN1 bothered the shit out of me with its voice acting because majority of it was cheesy, goofy and shitty. Most Bethesda ARPGs bug me because they have the same 3 voice actors between 100+ characters.
>>3503638Any games where adventurers wear practical armour rather than full suits of plate? I mean like just a gambeson and a breastplate.
what is wrong with this retard
>>3504528Not that I can think of. Aside from KCD, historical armor is usually left out of RPGs in favor of cartoonish and Conan tier "armors".
>>3504552KCD doesn't have historic armor. What in the everloving fuck are you talking about.
>>3504553Yes it does, the fuck you mean? Some of it is slightly outside the scope of the time period, but I can't think of anything that is extremely out of place like with say, Morrowind where full plate armor exist right beside armor that should be in the 500s.
>>3504557>what the fuck do you mean>go on to explain why it's wildly inaccurate, and that's ignoring that the representation of and usage of said armor is wrong anyways>doesn't even play crpgs and is just here to turn this thread into his personal schizo blog on off topic subjects because he got bullied off /his/Alrighty then.
Crazy that every single person who actually played the demo for this game in this thread absolutely hated it.
>>3504562>go on to explain why it's wildly inaccurateWhat the fuck are you on about?>doesn't even play crpgsI am literally in the middle of replaying NWN 1 and going through all the core modules with my character. The fuck do you mean.> is just here to turn this thread into his personal schizo blogI asked what was wrong with low fantasy and stated that armor that was present in KCD or Warband was great. You then got side tracked on KCD being an awful game for some reason, even though that wasn't my main point.
>>3504570>I am literally in the middle of replaying NWN 1 and going through all the core modulesWhy would you EVER play the OC in NWN? Are you retarded? Why haven't you played the swordhaven demo? Why are you even in this thread?
>>3504570Anon, this is a picture of like one hour into the tutorial module. You've been bumping the thread for 15 days....
>>3504572Why the fuck would you not do a marathon run importing your character into the next module? I do that shit for Warband all the time and have enjoyed doing so for NWN1 the last 3-ish times I played. I am going to move onto user modules after I run through the campaigns again.
>>3504570>I am literally in the middle of replaying NWN 1 and going through all the core modules with my characterHoly fucking BASED
>>3504577>Why the fuck would you not do a marathon run importing your character into the next moduleBecause the good modules are community made and you can't even port your character to the decent module because SoU is a level 1 campaign and is a broken slog if you import in. And you sidestepped my question about the demo like a malicious kike.
>>3504575My first post was yesterday anon, what the fuck do you mean? >>3503425>>3504575See the post below yours.
>>3504572NWN fans are genuinely mentally ill and have low functioning autism. They literally don't understand what's happening around them. It is unironically that simple.
He really has been in this thread the whole time and didn't play the demo. He has zero interest in the game and is just camping in here. Jesus Christ.
>>3504583>Because the good modules are community madeWhich I intend to get to....after I do another run through of all the official content.>Why haven't you played the swordhaven demoI have but I wanted to see what other anons thought of it so far. I also got side tracked by the discussion of low fantasy being "bad" which then devolved into KCD apparently being a bad game lmao.
>>3504594THE DEMO NIGGERSWORDHAVEN THREADFOCUSFOCUS
>>3504594Has it ever occurred to you that your contributions to this board are entirely negative?
>>3504595Yes, what of it? I enjoyed my time with it other than the occasional hiccup I had due to my old PC and the UI looking like something out of a flash game.
>>3504598I could say the exact same thing about you lol. You can't actually articulate why low fantasy is bad, you just have to scream that everything is shit at the top of your lungs for some reason and then cry about shit being off topic even though you started it lmao.
>>3504605Anon you bumped this thread off page 10 and started blog posting in it about off topic garbage.
>>3504602>I enjoyed my time with itHow? Elaborate.
>>3504607>Anon you bumped this thread off page 10Uh no, it was pretty high up in the catalog when I clicked on it and only started yesterday, not 15 days ago, as was claimed.>started blog posting in it about off topic garbageBecause I specifically asked why low fantasy was bad and provided examples where low fantasy world building and aesthetics were done well in games, only to be met with "lol game bad". If you want to point the finger at someone, point the finger at the other anon for jumping down the rabbit hole of claiming those games are bad.
>>3504609I enjoyed the character creation quite a bit. I wish there were more options other than "fart sniffing peasant turned bandit" and "royalty", but thats okay. The threshold perks at journeyman, expert, ect. are pretty cool and I wish more games had them. Distinctions are neat, as are the actual weapon skills.I have a disdain for the UI, character portraits and the inventory sprites. They look fucking UGLY and cheap, again similar to something you would see in an early 2000's flash game. The actual world space (ground cover, textures, ect.) are very beautiful. I liked what was present of the architecture.The combat is nice, and the animations are well done. I didn't particularly like the absence of opportunity attacks and it was genuinely a bit jarring at first as they are ever present in most turn based CRPGs, but its not something I would drop the game over. I didn't find myself snoozing through combat like with BG3 or DOS2 and the XP gain wasn't bad. I did find myself eager to explore more and see what all was going on in the world space and what character threads I could travel down.Pretty sure its my PC (i3 and 8b of RAM) but I found game stuttering or just outright freezing when fighting the alligators annoying flying fuckers. No idea why considering it works fine for most other games.
>>3504624>I enjoyed the character creation quite a bit.Huh? Why? Its just a clusterfuck of non-descript abilities. I just dumped everything into combat and raped the game to death. (combat abilities scale dialogue abilities anyways?)>The combat is niceNow I know you didn't actually play it.
>>3504661>Huh? Why? Its just a clusterfuck of non-descript abilitiesMore so in the way its laid out. I have actually always had a hard on for Fallout style character creation where you can meticulously minmax shit and again, the passive bonuses from journeyman/expert/master were also cool. Aside from Oblivion I can't think of another RPG that did that, at least not one I have played. I guess ME1 technically did it as well but it just didn't click the same, if that makes sense?>Now I know you didn't actually play it.If you say so. I enjoyed my time with it aside from having no attacks of opportunity and my PC wanting to shit the bed when I ran into certain enemies. I don't think entering combat, or being in combat taking a chunk of your AP is a good thing but again, I was immersed and amused enough to continue playing
>>3488656Apparently we just don't have the tech to recreate 90s crpg.
>>3488656>It also takes inspiration from the best RPG of all time, BG1.Yawn. Not interested.
>>3489023>Every town is filled with sexual encounters where a female MC gets fucked by old menI will now play your game.
>>3493282Nigger in PoE perception is the king stat instead because almost every ability needs to hit and if you're accuracy is shit you will do grazing damage and your tank won't be able to hold aggro. By maxing perception on everyone (followed by dumping res and con on your damage dealers while maxing might and int) you acquire aplha strike capability which lets you win the game.
>>3506054"balanced stats"
>>3506054I’m still going to play PotD with no stat less than 10. Per is good though and I’ll max it on certain chars, like wizards.
