hello, I've been searching for these mods but I could not find any of them apart from a IE (collection of) mods all merged into one.
I'm pretty sure that is a troll post.

Yeah mod authors got cease & desist from Obs about a month ago, they must have removed them...tho in reality there are no such mods I made them up.

I'm pretty sure that is a troll post.

Wasn't exactly my intent.

Am I getting reverse-trolled or didn't you know Obs is such an evil corporation? They don't want filthy modder hands on their games messing with the balance!

Does Sawyer personally shoot people who try to write mods?

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
Game is part of next month's Humble Monthly. Not bad to get this and some other games for $12.

I'm doing another playthrough cause at the time i've only finished the vanilla game, now i'm doing all stuff i excluded the first time, like Od Nua dungeons, twin elms and white march ofcourse.

White march is pretty cool (i'm doing part 2 right now), Od Nua not so exciting but there are nice levels, Twin elms is absolutely boring and feel kinda rushed, why they even added it to the game, could be a single location instead of 4 districts full of nothing lel

Party is lvl 13 now, can i go to Cragholt or better finish WM2 first?

stretch goals lol
The Siege of Cragholdt has one of the hardest encounters in the game. I'd save it until after WM2. It's not really related to it on the narrative side so it doesn't matter what order you do it.

Best survival bonus? Is it worth getting the flanked bonus or only go for accuracy? As a Priest of Skaen rogue-type sneak attack character.

Generally Accurracy but Flanking is better against easy-to-hit creatures especially bosses and on particular party builds (many moonlike for instance) there's an argument for healing received.

Depends on the fight. If you're playing a priest of Skaen you're presumably going for damage, in which case I'd pick the flanking bonus most of the time, or the bonus against (creature type) one if I have a specific fight I'm prepping for.

Well, more than that since you gain access to better versions of the good bonuses on higher levels.

I want to invest points into stealth, too, though. Can you invest 12 points into survival and enough points into stealth so it's not overly gimped?

As I recall, you can basically only focus on 1, max two skills? I went for 3 skills on my last playthrough and regretted it.

So it's worth investing 6 points into survival basically?

Yeah, usually. You need a lockpicker, a loremaster is nice because of high-level scrolls (far from essential though, especially if you're already rocking a priest), someone with Athletics 6 or so is nice for CYOAs and a single pip for Second Wind, but you might as well put the rest in Survival. Those bonuses aren't huge but they do make a difference.

Edit: if you want pump stealth, then leave Survival at 6, tops. You need about 5-6 stealth for it to be genuinely useful.

For survival specifically the skill is only checked when you rest, so you can swap a "survivor" item beforehand to up your bonus, then equip your regular gear. Survival up to rank 6 is worth for a lot of chars, but the other extreme with everything into survival let's you get triple bonuses. For combat there isn't a better skill.

Dunno how much stealth you need to melee someone from stealth, but I think it would be tight with 12 in surv.

Since I'm missing the combat invisibility of Rogues I have to compensate with stealth and go into combat in stealth.

Why though?

Stealth is pretty pointless without backstab talent, doesn't do anything for regular sneak attacks. Missed opportunity for Skaen priest imho, since they also get the mace.
