    Yeah, if you get unlucky neither drops nor shop will have what you want... I didn't find a single +dex or wisdom item on my double monk run...

    Make sure you talk to dragon again and ask him who he wants you to hunt down. You have to do it every time you retire. It should update your quest log and then on the next 10th floor the boss should be there. If the quest log doesn't update, the bosses won't spawn from what I can tell. So far I've done Fallen Priestess and Captor/Captive.

    I did, still haven't seen the boss though, if by 40 I don't see another 1 I will retire and retry. If I had the option of using a different weapon, I would not have selected weapon focus at level 1 and just seen what was provided to me, but the way I had planned my character, made quarterstaff the only viable option :/

    Is there a mod that converts the game to 2nd edition yet in the infinity engine? Combat encounters in this game are awful. Lets give the enemy ridiculously high AC score! Boils down to bringing along a alchemist or spell caster with touch spells.

    Interesting. Shame it doesn't scale very well. Unless the acid damage from each bite is a separate instance? I'm guessing not.

    Well, newest version has a settings.json file where you can turn off some of the stuff. It isn't visible from the ingame Unity mod Manager menu though.

    you can turn off his companion improvements (all including Tristan domain), animal companion nerfs (but it is actually closer to PnP), skill point reduction.

    just set all the 3 options to false, if you only want the classes and fixes; without his "balancing"

    ....? It's a level 1 druid/ranger spell. It scales extremely well for its niche.

    The thing with the highest AC I've found so far was the dragon and I killed it with no problem using nok-nok as my main damage source
    I'm playing on unfair

    1d4 per round on one target? That's almost worthless, especially compared to many other excellent first-level spells.

    You're not paying attention to the spell. It's 1 minute/level (which is way stronger in rtwp than it is in tabletop), it scales every 4 levels (not the best rate, but hardly poor, especially when it comes to Druid/Ranger spells), it works with Sneak Attack, AND it deals damage of an elemental type. I'm not arguing that it's a god-tier spell, but it's definitely not shit, and it is VERY useful on certain builds in the early to mid game.

    Complete aside: All this talk about druids and acid made me think of a PnP campaign where some xenomorphs get loose in a bumfuck forest somewhere in Fantasy land. Imagine Orc/Xeno hybrids. Imagine DIRE XENOMORPHS. IMAGINE A GREEN DRAGON XENOMORPH QUEEN. :shredder:

    NOTE: Changes to animal companion bonuses, npc companions, and class skill points are optional and can be disabled (set corresponding values
    to false in your game_folder/Mods/CallOfTheWild/settings.json)
    Hm looks like you can turn off this somewhat retardo changes.

    It's an amazing lvl 1 spell that scales marvelously. It lasts for a long time and adds per-round damage even without attacking. Even at lvl 4, assuming your animal companion is attacking one specific enemy each turn (more if you're alternating) it adds a minimum of 2d4 damage/turn, and that's to an attack that usually only does between 1d4 to 1d8 damage. For a 1st-level spell, this completely outclasses most (all?) other lvl 1 Druid Spells. What're you going to use instead? Flare Burst? Snowball? Sure, Magic Fang is basically mandatory, but you'll be using Greater Magic Fang as soon as you can.

    A Druid without 1-2 Acid Maws is an idiot. It's a great level 1 spell.
    Which is it? And it's not really that lvl 1 spells are bad, it's that Acid Maw is quite strong for a lvl 1 spell, limited only by time, which mostly means 1/encounter in tabletop, but not in a CRPG.

    On a random note, did they actually fix Tristian (so that he actually gets Good/Healing Domains) and Ecclesitheurge (so that they can actually prepare extra, relevant, spells?).

    As far as I'm aware, yes.

    It's just that Tristan has Good as primary Domain, and pretty much all Good spells are already on the cleric list.

    Owlcats kinda attached Healing domain to Tristian with superglue. It stays with him even after complete respec with the mod.

    Ecclesitheurge feature with using all spell slots for primary domain spells is working ok for quite some time.

    Entangle that actually allows ez Unfair.

    But yeah Maw is useful against trolls which is why I was a bit sad when I realised that my Elk wouldn't finish trolls in mega dungeon with acid hooves and acid horns.

    I got lucky and dropped the acid gloves in my last run, it solved for easy troll disposal.

    Just beat trolls. Game is okay so far noticing quite a bit more POZ especially in regards to morality (CE letting a guy experiment on a troll to get troll regeneration for humans as an example).

    Load times are a bit better too. Almost ragequit when my EK build didn't work properly really should have tested it before trying to beat the game with it. So I respecced into Slayer.

    Slayer has to be one of the best classes full BAB and sneak attack and free ranger dual wield? Why even pick rogue?

    You get more SA with Rogue, Rogue Talents, dex to damage if you're going that route, and skills. The real question is why pick either when you have Vivisectionist.
