![]() That makes things really easy for returning players who may not have played in awhile, as even the descriptions of the Subraces remain the same. If you know what you liked to use in the PoE then you can play that again in the second game in most cases without any changes. Just like Pillars of Eternity, you can select from the exact same Races and Subraces, which have nearly exactly the same bonuses as they did in the first game. No longer adds a bonus to Concentration, because Concentration is now handled differently in game, and certain abilities actually give you Concentration. You won’t need this Attribute if you aren’t being Hit often. The -% Hostile Duration and Will are much stronger than the Deflection bonus, and will serve those who are on the front lines in good stead. Resolve – Increases Will and Deflection as well as decreases Hostile Duration. Because it’s calculate by a percentage, it will work better for Durations and AoEs that are already long or large, so take that into consideration when deciding how much you want to invest. This Attribute affects many Active Abilities in the game and is useful to just about every class. Also increases your logic and deduction of puzzles. Intellect – Increases Duration and size of Area of Effect Abilities as well as Will. Perception no longer grants a bonus to Interrupt like it did in the first game, because Interrupts are handled differently. This Attribute is particularly important for casters because they don’t gain bonus Accuracy to their spells from their Weapon or from playing One-Handed. By increasing your Accuracy you not only increase your chance to Hit, but also your chance to Crit, making it effective at increasing your damage. Perception – Increases Accuracy and Reflex and also allows characters to spot Traps an secrets. These will primarily be spell casters and those who utilize Firearms. Because this calculation is done by percentage, it is more effective on characters that have long Cast Times, Reload Times or Recovery Times than it is on ones who don’t. Action Speed not only affects Attack Time, and Reload Time, but also Recovery Time and Cast Time. Many passive abilities in the game give you a bonus when you are Hurt, Bloodied or Near Death and this Attribute helps allow those conditions without you being as close to death.ĭexterity – Increase the characters Action Speed in combat and Reflex. This has changed slightly from the first game, because it no longer increases Endurance, as there is no longer Endurance in the game. This Attribute is good for anyone, but especially front lines types, because they will get Hit more often. Helwalker Monks can obtain the highest Might in the game.Ĭonstitution – Increases Health and Fortitude. ![]() Something you maybe didn’t know about Might is that it increases the Damage after every other calculation has been completed, therefore making it the most effective percentage boost you will get. ![]() Whether you’re a Wizard or Fighter it doesn’t matter, you’ll need some if you wish to deal decent damage. Might is a great Attribute for nearly any class because it boosts nearly all forms of Damage and healing. Might – Increases Damage and Healing as well as Fortitude. Let’s take a look at (or refresh if you’re a returning player) just what these Attributes affect so we can get a better sense of how to choose a Race when making a Character. Before I get into Races, however, I want to talk briefly about Attributes and what they do, so that moving forward you’ll have a better understanding of how to Build a good character from each Class.Īttributes and their distribution are more important than ever in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire because players have options they’ve never had before because they can “ Multiclass“. You begin by choosing your Gender, which has no immediate effect on your character’s Attributes, but does have implications in terms of romance and dialogues. When the game begins you will watch a cutscene and then you’ll have to walk a bit and speak with Berath, then Character Creation will begin, which is similar Pillars of Eternity. Let’s jump in and have a look at this overwhelming facet of the game! Pillars of Eternity 2: Character Creation In this article I want to cover some of the changes from the original PoE, explain how some of the new changes work, as well as give some advice when it comes to Character Builds. Obsidian has really outdone themselves with the possibilities, and I can’t think of another game to date that has the extensiveness of customization that Deadfire has. With the release of the Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire, we’ve gotten some hands on time with the game, especially with Character Creation and Class Building.
