I coded that, it should be in the characters level up code.

No no, we don't need to do anything if the traits are gained automatically. However that means we have 12 skills and 12 skill points, so "character build" is now just a matter of order in that regard. I think from a design perspective, the traits should require skill points :) seeing as I just lost most my interest in figuring out skill builds.

Or well, whatever you do, it shouldn't be possible to get all skills in the end. Whether that means fewer skill points or more options.

Also not sure you saw it the first time but, even with all sound muted I hear some sound effects in combat.

The automatic traits did work. I wish I had known from the beginning of this beta (as in act 1). I would have raced to the stats ASAP, not just planned to get them when I felt it was time to devote a skill point to the trait :P

Krimm does not regain mana from Rage when she blocks attacks. Makes defense a little double edged.

OH EM GEE that was a generous reward Jariel. Go back to act one and teach those Ninim cheapskates how to appreciate a hero.

Yes he is.

I'm a little skeptical about MotP taking 1/3 my gold when I get back. I just keep making sure to have items to sell in my bags instead of gold, so I'm still as rich but he can barely take anything. Don't spend it all in one place matey!

Speaking of which, I went to bet on the insect fight with a grand fortune of 1 gold coin. When I tried to bet 15 coins, it said I don't have that much but the plot continued as normal, and I won 45 anyway.

Krimm's kick is too damn good <3 three turns of the debuffs even on a boss. I really love Krimm. Her resource system is great. Maybe Rowinda's too but only had her for one fight.

I think thief front row tanking needs some thought. The initial idea is good, allowing hunters and presumably Jariel/Chalassa to be in the front row. But when you force an enemy archer into the front row it's only really exciting for the warrior in front of it, the rest do really meh damage. Maybe a surprise factor that doesn't let the thief damage reduction kick in until the thief's next turn?

I just encountered another bug. I've completed Chalassa's flashback mission but two fights later I had alerted Horus guards popping into normal group fights with mercs replacing the entire back row of enemies. When the fight was over it kicked me back into the end of Chalassa's flashback mission.

I've also noticed another issue with trying to buy stackable items from vendors. When I use the clicker to increase the amount of potions or whatever that I'm trying to buy it stops at one and locks up. The only way I can select more is to right click back to the options menu, then back into the game.

Soo... Riley's quest. Nightmare mode. Did anyone beat that "fairly"? I found myself scrolling a lot so that his wild tricks would work and I could avoid most encounters (I fought two guard packs only). I didn't realize from square one that he had regular potions too, so I could have fought maybe 1-2 more guard packs. I also theorized that his attributes affected his success with his wild tricks but it seems down to blind luck.

When Chalassa wants to hear a story from us, I can only ask Krimm and Riley to recount the same stories they've already told.

Krimm is the weakest hitter of her story party unless you figure out to swap her weapon. Fire damage when the scorps have 95% resistance, really. I'm pretty sure Riley always got an earth damage staff too, which was perhaps the worst element for his quest.

Damage caps? I can get Chalassa's attack up to pretty crazy numbers (111), but Aimed Shot and Bleeding Strike never go above 49. Two targets with 61 and 35 defense respectively and both take 49 damage.
