Hallo! Returning player with a question about stats...
« on: November 30, 2017, 09:16:29 PM »
Most of you probably don't know/remember me, I played years ago and have decided perhaps to come around again to see how things have progressed along. I can't remember my old login, so I guess I'll start over.

One question though as I'm building things in my head... I cannot remember if this server has equipment that adds to your stats (like +1 Str gloves or +2 Dex belts or such) or if those things are too high-magic for the server.

Just trying to figure out how to build the stats. If the only thing available is potions and buffs (like Bull's Strength's +5), then I can end builds on an odd stat like 21 or 15.

Hello and welcome back! At the moment, no, there's no available gear that boosts your ability scores, only maluses.

Regardless of that, I hope you have fun in your return!

That's perfectly fine, I just could not really remember how low that Ravenloft's "low magic" was for building purposes.

Stat potions and buffs (Bull's Strength, Cat's Grace, et al) still exist and are the way to go, I take it? 1d4+1 points for all?

If so, guessing most builds finalize on odd numbers, then? (19, 21, etc)

Not necessarily for the latter, but caster classes would. Potions and buffs do still exist and are easily obtainable.
