Story Cipher build?

[Marcos_DS]

Greetings, i'd like to build a main character (cipher) that can get most out of storyline checks (both stats and skills). She doesn't have to be combat-effective at all (thats my parties job)... So, with that in mind, what would you consider good stats ?

Oh! But don't worry my friend, one of the best builds for the cipher have per and int max.

Attributes:
MIG 19
CON 10
DEX 10
PER 18
INT 18
RES 3

Resolve has quite a lot of dialogue options but they aren't so interesting and they don't impact DPS and the stat is better for a tank character, but INT and PER can heavily help you and even give you more options for quest endings - WM II can have a completely different ending dialogue if you have INT - and MIG have a good number of dialogue choices, some are really good if you want to have a more agressive approach.

Skills:

LORE and SURVIVAL are really important for more dialogue, so give the mechanics for someone else in the party.

The most important spells are:
Antipathetic field - you will have to position yourself properly but it can do a vast amount of damage.
Whisper of Treason - charm enemies and I believe it will give some dialogue options.

If you are desperately wants resolve and don't like an agressive approach you can make this:

MIG 10
CON 8
DEX 10
PER 18
INT 18
RES 14

The damage will drop but you will have all of the dialogue options, just eat some food before the dialogue to get the resolve higher.

I will probably use your second suggestion and use her mostly for crowd control in combat, so the drop in damage won't be that problematic. Didn't know about might in dialogue, maybe i'll drop con and dex a bit to get MIG, PER, INT and (to a lesser degree) RES.

I'll only play hard (not PotD) so low con should still work i hope.

Thank you very much!
