Protective Runes and Sigils

[Lampros]

Does this thing work against either Alps sleep or Hexen charm spells?

Also, I just found out that trophies compete with dogs for the same slot. WTF. Bad design. Why can't we open up the top right slot?

Yes. And the undead necklace gives immunity. And witch hunters get their +20 bonus against them.

[Sai Kyouji]

Yeah, we need another slot for animals

Probably to make it a choice, rather than enabling players to stuff their brothers with everything and anything.

Wow, so Witch Hunters are very useful with the new DLC then.

That always has been the case. Seeing the huge potential advantage a dog gives I disagree about it being bad design, it´s a solid balance choice. Pretty much what Holy - death said.

This DLC pretty much means you can no longer make a group of universal soldiers that can destroy everything in their path. You need to adjust weapons, armor and utility items to the task at hand for everything thats not your average band of brigands.

It's a balance choice that makes no realistic sense.
Why would keeping a dog prevent anyone from wearing a necklace

Yup. Immersion-breaking, if anything.

Not that much, once you consider to keep a dog from rushing into battle would require a leash and collar (and also probally a proper belt to hook them too, so one could still use weapons and fight). That would easily take up the gear spot of any necklace or sash (remember seargent sash, which goes across body also takes the slot, so shouldn't think of it as necklace slot to start.).

Which is why we want a neck slot, though.
Sash and leash can take the strap slot.

So what? A game needs to be balanced. It's not a sim.

It actually isn't balanced.
