That is something that has always irritated me about the IE games. Seriously irritates me. If you are stealthed and there is no one looking at you directly in broad daylight, why do you drop out of stealth when you disable a trap? It is completely ludicrous.
But going through dungeons while being unable to simultaneously be in stealth and detect traps felt risky, even if I was spamming "Q" all the time.
It's Steam though, so I'll pass.
Just to be clear, though, in PF:K, you don't exit stealth when disarming traps, and with the correct rogue talent, you can even move at full speed in stealth.
They work fine for me...
Straight Bard is probably the way to go, aye. Inspire Courage is valuable. You could mix in 1 level of Fighter, go 7 levels of Bard, and then prestige her into Eldritch Knight if you want, but she will lose inspire courage progression and 2 levels of spell progression, so I wouldn't really call that an upgrade, esp. since Inspire Courage boosts your party's attack and damage.
No. Vivisectionist Alchemist has sneak attack. He replaces the Rogue level (add in Accomplished Sneak Attacker), you take 3 Wizard levels, and you progress spellcasting as a Wizard through AT, but you still have the perks of a 1st level Alchemist instead of a 1st-level Rogue. Unless you need trapfinding, 1 level of Alch is much better than 1 level of Rogue.
Stealth is useless,it works only if the enemy doesn't see you directly.Yet they didn't bother to make a shortcut for stealth
Tell me about it. Especially early in the Nashkel Mines. At those levels, you don't want to get hit by traps, but if you try to detect them to disarm, you get filled full of holes by kobolds if you are not very careful. That is a big engine problem they had.
Here it is,tho it seems i had dropped two points somewhere around the roadIn such a way,sure. It is useless for my double rapier rogue,you get seen when you get in the enemie's cone of view. You can't even disable a trap in a dark dungeon without being seen. I don't really care about positioning,i do play on normal/challenging custom settings. Still haven't seen a battle where i need stealth for positioning. I use Valerie as a wall of destructionStealth is actually great, the main problem being that your more heavily armored allies suck ass at it. It's extremely easy to score ranged sneak attacks in the game, too, and stealth is tracked individually from character to character even after combat has started, and even for characters that doesn't have sneak attacks, it means that for the start of the encounter, they won't be targeted. It also helps tremendously with moving into position, just be careful not to get too close to the enemy with things that have a lot of armor. I gave Valerie the +10 Stealth cloak to compensate.Stealth is useless,it works only if the enemy doesn't see you directly.Yet they didn't bother to make a shortcut for stealth
Always stealth before combat. Always.,she have more than 41 AC without any buffs and a bastard sword with elemental damage + hammering the gap. She just decimates anything she touches,no need for sneaking.
Can you post your valerie character screen so I can see how you get 41 ac.
,maybe changed a shield or some buff was active. Still i am certain that she had 41 at one point,was very proud of my masonry skillz.
Just disarm traps and save scum!
The fact that the tower is littered with them and they are the only enemy you have to fight there is more annoying. Hope you have lightning resistance.
I can't be the only one that reacted to this. A wisp, you say?
They will slow down IF you select all and move. If you select ALL but stuck char they will move with regular speed.
