Exile Plank - 48kg weight

[VoiD]

From what I've read you need 2x the weapon's weight to swing a heavy weapon fast enough, do you really need 96str to use this weapon?

Also, besides block speed, dex adds nothing?

Hi. Plank/Falling Sun also have cut damage apart from blunt. Dex will add increase output for said damage. Remember that aside from the required str, injuries will diminish said stat to some extent rendering such weapons useless if the stat is greatly reduced.

You need twice the strength. You'll have to use STR limbs to reach the number if carrying weights is taking too long, 25% str increase on each arm should help. Do note your strength skill will take much longer to level up if it's excessively boosted so switch to other arms if you feel you need to increase your base strength

I see, thanks

About the training issue, so lowering stats temporarily makes it easier to level them up and raising them might make it impossible?

Yes and no. Yes, lowering your stats makes raising them a bit easier. But having high stats doesn't make it impossible to increase them further. It just slows things down. The only way you'll stop gaining strength, dexterity and whatnot is when you hit 100 in the stat, which due to scaling takes a very long time.

Strength gains will start slowing down around 84-86, then get progressivly slower from there. I've got a dozen characters with strength of 97 atm from purposely working their strength up (set up waypoints with a mod and have them constantly patrol while at 800% encumberance and carrying corpses on thier backs for maximum xp gain), at the rate they're currently gaining strength xp it will take a year to hit 100. Normally I wouldn't bother training like this, but I've been doing it for roughly 9 months now as a test of what it would take to max out all stats.

wow, that's a very long time.

I suppose getting str high enough may be possible with 2 lifter arms, though a big Shek would look a bit weird.

A good way to train strength, once it's high, is to let your guys starve. This will reduce their stats a lot and allow for easier training!
