Telekenisis?

[Holographic]

What do points in this give me. Does it mean that I can lift heavier things? at a farther distance? Is it necessary to max out points?
And I have heard of telikenisis gloves. Do I need them to lift certain things? Do they just enhance my ability to lift heavier and farther. Do I NEED the gloves? Are the gloves a whole different thing than what points in the abilty. And do I find the gloves or have to buy them? Iam maybe 24 hours in level 4 and I have not found them yet. I still need to do a couple battles in Fort Joy. Thx

Exactly what the tooltip says. Increases the range. Weight isn't a factor this time around.

Gloves with Telekinesis just add to the skill. Like any other skill on gear.

Thx I must be thinking of teleportation.Where you can teleport people in battle.

It's probably the most useless civil "skill" :p

Well - beeing able to throw barrels from a further distance gives you some tactical options. And there are some spots where multible objects are out of reach. Of course you can teleport those itmes one by one to your spot but that takes some time...
But on the other hand the situations in which it is usefull are extremely rare and even then its more of a comfort thing than actualy essential.
Ok it IS useless. Given the fact, that you only can invest 2 civil skills in the first 5 levelups its a big waste on top.

The biggest benefits of Telekinesis are nullified by Teleport and Strength. But if for some strange reason you have no Strength characters, then it can be okay to get 2-3 points.

Sneak is the most useless civil skil by far.

Telekinesis as mentioned is worthless because you can just teleport everything and there doesn't seem to be any lava/instant kill areas with items in them anymore, but Sneak is worthless because you can teleport without breaking sneak and it doesn't cost a whopping 4AP to use.

Makes me chuckle when I see someone take Guerilla. One opening attack at 25% bonus dmg, then 4AP if you want to use it again? Might as well stack Memory or the Will/Body replacements which are also completely stupid and useless (really extra magic armor after I'm frozen? Lets get frozen... um, enemies please freeze me so I can get a paltry bit of magic armor...lol).

Unlike in OS 1 there are no insta kill areas or houses with traps etc, even proper lava :(

I will surprise you - you can use sneak on your rogue or archer that are NOT in a fight yet but party IS in a fight to make some miracles with reduced sight, while all enemies are frozen waiting for turns :)

But without managing that it's pretty useless also yep

I thought that invisibility also triggers guerilla. If not, well then RIP Shadow :( (What i play of course)
@maniaC_C It still would be more usefull, to just straight up run into them and attack them once ot twice more often. There really is no no way to make a 40% dmg buff more valueable than 3+ AP. Actualy i would even think twice b4 i spend even 1 AP for it.

What are you talking about? There's lava. You can even carry insta death zone in barrel form with you (death fog).

I don't know what the guy used specifically but, when an item passes through an enemy, it will deal half of its weight in damage.

Example:

1. I pick up a chest that weighs 50

2. I pick up a second chest that weighs 50

3. I pick up a third chest that weighs 50

3. I put the second chest and third chest inside the first chest, so they now weigh 150 as one single item

4. Every time I use Telekinesis to swing the chest around I do 75 damage (half of 150)

His tele level must have been high I guess?

Telekinesis level does not affect damage, only range. I don't know how much HP that dragon has since I'm not that far, but this means that he shoved A LOT of items into one box to make it reallllllllllllly heavy to one shot the dragon.

Oh I thought you needed a higher tele level to lft more weight. I did not realize it does not matter. thx
