***** Hints and Tips *****

NPCs gain 1-2 more action points per turn so they are likely to attack an extra time per turn.

On average a point in Bodybuilding / Willpower increases resistance to status effects by 10%.

Consider getting as much Bodybuilding and Willpower as you can on everyone.

Leadership at 4 gives +10 Initiative which helps more than you expect.

To increase the chance of a status effects increase the attribute that is related to that skill.
(Ex: For Crushing Fist every point in Strength after 8 increases knockdown chance by 5%).

Buff and Debuff Skills are very useful (Ex: Fortify & Divine Light).

Divine Light warrior skill lowers both BB and WP by 2 (even though it says it only lowers WP).

Enemy Archers carry 2-4 special arrows, but they will use them on their first few turns.
Archers are easier than the rest to disable, but it won't work all of the time.

Your Summons have half their default HP. Use them for flanking not tanking.

If you encounter enemies two or more levels ahead of you then you are in the wrong place.

You may feel a difficulty spike on some enemies that are levels 5 to 6.

***** Experiencing Bugs? Updating to a New Version? *****

Make sure to pay really close attention to these steps!


If you are playing in Multiplayer make sure all players do this as well.

***** Patch History *****

Refer to the Change Notes

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/290019800

***** Current Plans *****

I do not plan on adding any more new features to this mod.

Although I might provide balance changes based on player feedback in future versions.

***** Conclusion *****

The mod was designed from player feedback, from players with very different skill levels,
playstyles, and party compositions so I was conservative with some changes. I tried to
take all opinions into consideration and tried to view them from many perspectives.

Various planned features and balance changes ideas I had were canceled because
I either could not find a way to implement them, they would cause crashes/bugs,
or those changes could break saved games when new official patches are released.
