Re: IQ rise and talents
I intend/hope to play a Gargoyle Wizard. Being able to buy talents/spells uncoupled from IQ is pretty central to the concept.

Re: IQ rise and talents
Gargoyles start with ST 13 DX 11 IQ 8 with no spare points but he could start out knowing ALL the IQ 8 spells, or all but one plus Literacy Talent, and will have enough ST to use them a lot. 200 XP will get him up to IQ 10 and another 200 XP will boost DX to 12. At that point he can start using XP to buy IQ 9 and IQ 10 spells.
The drawback of a Gargoyle Wizard is that Staff II is an IQ 11 spell, so a Gargoyle can't get a Staff that has a Manna stat. OTOH a high ST Wizard whose skin stops 3 hits and punches for 2d damage could be a nasty surprise for someone. Last edited by bill_seney; 10-02-2018 at 11:32 PM. |

And hey! You get claws that are the equivalent of a broadsword and (I think) you don't have to spend Talent points to use them. I'm not sure what they're like in HTH combat. You get basically "free" chainmail-equivalent armor. You move a little slower on the ground, but you can fly. I think it'd be a fun character. Probably not mechanically optimal, but there's a lot of RP potential there. |
