A few things.
1. 10 points in Strength doubles your average damage. 10 points in Dexterity gives you another 10% chance to hit, plus a few other things, which still don't do anything like doubling average DPS.
2. Combat is a pretty small part of the game. Heck, stats are pretty minor, outside combat and mystery. Some people aren't trying to optimize their characters for combat.
3. Magic is also useful.
4. I'm considering bringing in a version of Minmax to mock Akroma's character design concepts.

« on: February 03, 2014, 02:27:20 pm »Generally, if both alien invaders and singularity seeking traitors are desperately trying to get their hands on a single, specific human being, you'd probably want to prevent that even if you don't know what element is causing them to go after her.Reasonable...although it doesn't hurt to check why so you can consider letting them waste their resources on each other.
Speaking of which, wouldn't it be neat if some missions had aliens and EXALT fighting each other?
Or if, in the sequel, some aliens fled to Earth or something and had a melee a trois with XCOM and the Threat?

Ah, yes, Dexterity, the classic Stat to Rule them All.
You could always do what some games in the RtD section figured out and split it into Agility and Dexterity.

« on: February 03, 2014, 01:52:50 pm »whoops. Well...Will should flirt more, I guess. The whole beastiality thing with Stella...Call it bestiality to his face. I dare you.
Stella's a person, too. A human person who happens to be half-dragon. And in a strady relationship with Will, who isn't interested in polyamory.

I agree with what Will said earlier, there is a middle path between grunt and final bossfight...this one doesnt seem very midling to meUm, I'm not Will. I just play him

« on: February 03, 2014, 01:37:32 pm »I am aware that fire =/= laser, I meant similarly to a laser, you should *concentrate* your fire as a precision weapon, rather than just blasting the whole thing. A deep, intensive burn on a crucial place may do more than just burning the entire areaNuriel conjures fire. She doesn't conjure heat. Anyways, unless you're getting really, really hot, it's usually better to burn the whole body than just one spot.
In addition, we usually face enough enemies that burning a bunch at once is useful.
Ah, right, Nef did a thing. It's easy to forget that she is actually a real character with real stats, rather than just the gag that came when Will flirted with a wallHow the hell do you confuse Will and Kyle?

« on: February 03, 2014, 01:30:54 pm »why not aim to burn specific body parts? If the fire is just kinda going everywhere, it's not doing much, if you concentrate the intensity of the flame into a narrow flame...laser? and went for, say, the eyes, it already does a lot more than just damage. the damage stays the same, but it also does stuffFire =/= Laser

or aim for a fir hydrant, to blast the enemy with scalding hot steam like standing in a geysir, or maybe similar to what rag suggests, melt asphalt, let the enemies feet sink in it, and then have another players (are there any water or ice powers?) freeze the damn thing to trap the enemy?Fire hydrants are important. And also not made of wood. She summons flames, not machine guns.

edit: or surround the enemy with a fire-wall to block their movement without actually hurting them (possibly in preparation of a very slow, but very devastating blast the next round)Um, the mere proximity of fire hurts people. Convection is a thing.
But good idea.

The community looks to be in favor of some kind of subforum, at least.

Hey, I'd be a lot more interesting if I wasn't A. so often joining combats late and B. giving my characters magic with so little ability to vary. I mean, I've done fancy stuff from tie to time, but frankly all of Nuriel's variations have just been pinning adjectives and adverbs onto "blast with fire".
