They went for Hardened Physiology because it works well with Honed Edge. The problem being that it's a hack-and-slash combo, and if we wanted hack and slash we should've voted for it earlier because investing in it now is just a waste. So now we're half poison build, with no realistic method of applying that trait, half hack-and-slash, and thus, subpar at both. We ARE pretty tanky, BUT considering how many options we have for tearing through defenses one way or another, which Awakened Beings would realistically have access to any of and more, and considering we have no method of applying our corrosive blood on-demand... Well, anything we can't cut, we can't kill, and anything with good enough regen, we also can't kill. And anything we can't kill, and can't deal significant amounts of damage to us, will still most likely kill us via attrition.
even if it does, skill would be an issue, no? We have Swordsmanship, but even that's just the big, standard swords Claymores are trained to use; hence why Sabers would've been the Dueling skill if we had chosen that instead of Honed Edge.
Ooh, high-frequency sword!
But what would we use it for that we can't ALREADY do?Ooh, high-frequency sword!
We'd use it for especially tough Awakened Ones we run into that we can't cut otherwise.But what would we use it for that we can't ALREADY do?
Our blood is corrosive! We can soften them up and cut through them even without a vibroblade! It's redundant!
It is a bit redundant, but it would do the job faster especially if we run into something that no sells our red kill juice.
