I mean, I don't run over them because I want the xp from the lizards, but even so that debuff does almost nothing. 3 turns, 4 HP damage? Pft. And yeah the resistance reduction, but still. I'd rather see a far more powerful debuff that lasts until you defeat the demon.

You also lose 15% of HP every time you step on those... considering some other users are asking to being able to use the potions between battles, you have to realize that probably you're a power player at this point

Yes forgot to assign a different id! Fixed it now.

If you hit from the backrow with melee, damage is reduced obviously, while ranged not.

yayswords wrote:Pre-battle positioning for flashbacks. Can has? For Krimm's flashbacks I leave her alone in the frontline, at least for the animal battles, and now for Chalassa's... first she starts right in front of Ormond, I use her first turn to move her away, guards show up, and then she's BACK in front of him.

Nope, that's impossible sorry. Was a requirement to do those flashback using a "fresh character" with lower level. If I tried to add the positioning would lead to all kind of errors

Yes but it doesn't deal normal ranged nor normal melee damage. It deals twice the damage of a ranged attack, whereas the tooltip says it should do "normal" damage. I'm not making a fuss about back row penalty or which weapon it uses, just that I'm getting twice the damage I should be getting.

Also it reduced mana on the fire demon (=boss), at least according to the combat log

you have to realize that probably you're a power player at this point

At this point? I'm fairly sure I realized it already in Loren

Hey, I just want nightmare to hurt! I don't want to mess up the other difficulties. But one cast of Purification negates every single consequence of stepping on a steam vent

Ah yes, somehow I had stuck cDoubleAttack=True

fixed

Is intentional since 5SP each hit is not a huge thing so can work also on bosses.

Code: Select all

    if scene11_cookedbysteam:
        if party.difficulty=="Nightmare":
            $AddEffectToParty(BurningEffect2,25)
        else:
            $AddEffectToParty(BurningEffect1,5)

There you go - around 19hp damage (depending on resistance) each turn for 5 turns. Now that should hurt

Crash

Spoiler:

Okay not crash, could ignore and continue, but still :D

From the log I can see it's the 0.8.22 so not the latest version (0.8.22.3), is the one with still the bugged AI

Oh right, there's that yeah

Wait, I can't buy more Clearmind Potions? Can't you make the families visitable on my last tour of the city before the final battles? I don't wanna go back to the arena with 1.6k gold but the shops haven't restocked and I've bought all their good stuff

Posted: **Thu Jul 24, 2014 11:01 am**

Ah yes, by mistake enabled it only on that day. Will change that on next update!

Can you just add 1 minimum damage to everything? Static Lullaby hits Mirror Image A through E for 0 damage.

Posted: **Thu Jul 24, 2014 11:53 am**

I'll do that for the bard songs since for the others is not needed, but they are so weak for direct damage that's probably better.

Spoiler:

And now the levels after receiving the quest xp. Know that I have been very meticulous about milking the act for xp. Act one not so hardcore since I held back on shopping, but I got all three to level 7 on the guard waves. As for act two:
- Finished all quests, discovered all locations.
- Killed all mercenaries whenever I could. This includes entering/exiting their areas to provoke a third pack.
- Rerolled all opponents until I got a full party (or as full as I could get the first day). I MAY have messed this up on the Lizardmen only, but all those fights were at least 5 mobs.
- Krimm tavern brawl, cleared the steam tunnels, fought the holy warrior, bla bla, pretty much sought out violence as much as I could. Didn't ask the arena slaves questions, always started a fight first.
- Family quest done: Galanna, though not for theorizing it would yield the most xp, although that's certainly possible.

This resulted in the following levels...

Spoiler:

And now to talk about Yeldin. Very tough fight. I would say "especially since I decided to include Chalassa", but fact is he killed her the first round and she lost her disease when resurrected. With Jariel's song she could use No Chances a lot and certainly wasn't a burden. I wanted to use Sudden Strike, especially seeing now afterwards that I couldn't win until I ran him out of mana, but I decided not to to since it's miscoded and doing double damage right now. But... no consumables used
