Combat Insight Talent

[Lauro]

Hello all can someone explain this Talent ... so since the operative will ALWAYS have 10 Perception or more.. does this mean this is a Free AP ??

Perception bonus is perception / 10, rounded down. So a 10 perception would give a +1 perception bonus. To get a 10 perception bonus you'd need a perception of 100.

To rephrase what tempest said, the stat bonus referred to in a talent is the leading digit of the stat. If your stat is 59, your stat bonus will be 5.

So.. this is just like a LATE game ( or really good gear ) kind of situation ?

That, or maybe buffs, or a combination of all of those.

Not that late. There are ways to get stacking attributes. A lot of stuff in this game stacks up to infinity. I forget what the one for perception was called but it's in there ... somewhere. There's also one for willpower that gets my navigator to >200 quite reliably. That, combined with the talent that makes enemies take damage based on will when they try to make a save against her powers... Yea, it's a bad time to be on the other team.

Late game, good gear, or perhaps taking the right combination of talents in early game. As Nightfish said, some classes benefit from synergy throughout a fight. For example, there's an ability that gives the Navigator certain stats for every free turn taken, and if the player character also gives free turns, this can get cranked up pretty early on.

I'm really trying to avoid reading about other peoples meta-builds, so I can play this game at my own speed, but I'm sure some cheesy stuff is possible.
