Shattered Kingdoms

Hmm. This gots my gear rolling.

How much strength and dex do you loose with old age? I for sure do not want to be a prisoner to mod-gear.

Also, priests can train 7 times in ART?

Yes str has to be the most important. Raycosus has a Natural str of 215 I believe and I have a hell of a time holding anything really with my armor. Though there a plenty of str mod eq out there which can and wilil be really helpful. If you are having trouble holding a polemace, try making it a size smaller. That tends to help out.

As far as mentoring points go, I have recieved three so far and I do a a decent amout of mentoring. I swear it is hit or miss from month to month.

Your potential max (not necessarily your actual attribute) will lower by up to three points, assuming you play your character that long. See help age.



More than that, but you have to consider what you're buying. Healing and counter-spells aren't affected by art. Neither is your high-level damage spell Harm, nor even Holy Word IIRC. What you get is less resistance to Spear of Faith, Gate, Summon, and staves/scrolls. If the last is what you care about, staves max at 3 art, and scrolls 6.

It's a decent stat for priests, but maxing it definitely isn't for everyone. You may prefer hp, or even mana for healing endurance against NPCs.

I personally wouldnt do more than 6 art for 'sooth's reasons, nor would I waste my time with str or hp on a priest (you get into melee with anything other than another priest you're done, so why waste the points?). Dex and mana would get my points--dex for the reflex saves and mana so I can chuck more harms.

Personal preference.
