Need educating on Resolve

[Sir_Blaze]

So i know what resolve does, and I know where to find resolve, what I don't understand is how your resolve is set. ie I have my standard characters my main is resolve 7 and the rest are all 5, how are these numbers gotten to, can i increase them by raising stats, a lot of google searching and it all seems conjecture and incorrect at that , ie a lot say it's based off of fellowship (with 2 different formulas) yet main has 30 fellowship like 2 others and 1 at, 35 if it was based on fellowship shouldn't they all have 5 or 7 resolve ?

in an abandoned playthrough i have a toon with 45 fellowship and only 6 resolve whilst a 30 fellowship has 7, and the main of 25 fellowship has 6 resolve and it's also not based off of will power because the 6 resolve main has 50 willpower whilst the 7 resolve has only 45 :|

Your resolve boosting stat is Fellowship. You gain one extra point of resolve equal to your Fellowship Bonus, which is your total Fellowship divided by ten rounded down to the nearest tenth.

The starting resolve for each character I believe is 1.

I say that because most of my characters have 4 base Resolve with 30 Fellowship (1 Resolve + 3 from Fellowship Bonus), Heinrix with 5 Resolve with 40 Fellowship (1 Resolve + 4 from Fellowship Bonus). Cassia with 8 Resolve at 71 Fellowship (1 Resolve + 7 Fellowship bonus) etc.

My main however has 106 Fellowship and 13 Resolve (1 Resolve + 10 Fellowship bonus). Where did I get the extra 2 resolve from? A bonus talent from Protectorate or other in game choice I believe, being "Mercy of the fallen" that gives +2 resolve. Which equals 13.

When in doubt and the above calculations are not adding up, you're most likely missing a resolve source from equipment, talents and abilities. Which there are a lot of them especially for certain archetypes. :)
