Great. There's another thread in which someone found out that Powerstrike is also relatively worthless, as well as Snakespeed.
Anybody testing out the other "Bonus" Skills?
As to the Bishop, i'd much rather run a party of 3 with a Bish and 2 hybrids anyway--the game's no harder, unless you refuse to let them learn the skills they need to survive, and they advance plenty fast as a trio. Even with 4 "seriously crippled" chars i level faster than with 6 "pure" ones.
Bard-to-Fighter at L11 is my favorite changer; she can buff up the party fine, and i leave the offensive magic to the Bishop, because by L22 (total--11 Bard, one Rogue and 10 Fighter) i do SO much more damage berzerking with X-Cal than a Bard ever dreamed of.
I'm also playing around with Gad-to-Fighter, for the 3rd member of my next start--i'll run either that or a straight fighter, just because i haven't done it yet.
And i'm starting to feel a little ripped off, that my hard-earned skill points are worth less than my level in determining my effectiveness, it seems poorly balanced; tiny little boo,hiss to Sirtech on that count.
