Luncthime catchup and responses!
ch 24.4 has been updated with answers to a lot of questions, especially about Scion of the Zree.
@eaglejarl can we ask Levi whether or not he thinks we could potentially get High Roller with character actor?
Did you mean Rollup? If so then no, Levi has said that he is very confident you will not get that through any means other than being a Wheeler Dealer.
Has Taylor gotten any stat points since then?
Crawlers earn 3 stat points every time they level up, so at level 2 they have 3 points, at level 3 they have 6 points, etc. Taylor currently has (15 - 1) x 3 = 42 stat points to distribute.
We can borrow the mutable ring and the beanie for a bunch of stats if we wanna go Zree.
Those add to your effective stats, not your base stats. You need to get your
base Int and Con up to 50 in order to metamorphose.
Snowballing is everything.Being strong now lets you kill bosses quick and get tons of XP and loot, which makes you even stronger later. "I'll take a weak race now to be stronger later" is usually a bad deal, not just because you'll die but because you miss out on a ton of grinding. Avoid dead ends, but also avoid weakening yourself now.
Note that canon!Carl disagrees; every build choice he makes is oriented around long-term advantage even at the expense of short-term disadvantage. For example, taking Primal instead of Human started him off the equivalent of 5 levels behind on stats.
Fire Dancer is potentially very strong. Unfortunately it's based on fire damage, and can't even magically start fires
Check the skill description for Fire Dancing: "Oh, yeah, also you can burst into flames for up to (Skill Level) minutes, cooldown 2 hours."
Pirate Captain still isn't the best thing around. @eaglejarl the description needs an update, Calliope doesn't have Fortuna's Favoured Child.
Done, thanks.
Note: It's everyone's responsibility to make sure that their vote is tallied the way they want it to be; I'm not going to do the work of combining them. There is a large plurality of voters who want the same thing but have formatted their votes differently, are therefore showing up separately in the tally, and are therefore not supporting each other. Example:
[] Calliope: Doppleganger + Wheeler Dealer
[] Plan: Wheeling, Dealing, System Screwing alternative
-[] Leo
--[] Race (L): Doppelganger
--[] Class: Wheeler Dealer
-[] Taylor
--[] Race (T): Doppelganger
--[] Class: Sysops
This is why I asked people to vote by plan.
Also,
@Dreaming Circuit , "Combat Klepto" isn't a thing. You want "Battle Klepto". You're right that 'Combat Klepto' would have been better for the consonance, but I didn't think of it.
