Added bonus...

Hiya...

Simple question enought, what are the added bonus in ID2.

As far as I know, there is

- a +2 wisdom and -1 dexterity bonus in the battle square(nice for the cleric, or for a character that need to reach wisdom 13 for an item or skill).

- a + 1 feat(greater fortitude, iron will or lightning reflex, nice way to give a better save to a "tank" that don't have many feats(barbarians, paladins and rangers mostly)) with Vese quest when handing in the items he ask from Orrick tower.

Anything else? I just play the game once, and I would admit I would not have understand the battle square thing if not for the nice walk throught of Batholomew, yet since he didn't mention about that last bonus he either didn't know or don't care since the game is so close to over at that step(or I lack at reading his walkthrought *giggles*)).

 

If you slay the guardian, you'll get +hp and +acid resistance.

If you are a transmuter, you can do some hokuspokus in the drider cave to add some hp.

 

I found another permanent effect potion:
Potion of clear purpouse: Constitution -2, Wisdom +1. I do not remember where I found it.

And Oswals Fiddlebender leaves you a potion that increases resistances after he leaves the crash site of his ariship - you have to return to this crash site to get it.

If you recover the Holy Avenger ALL your paladins get +1 to strength and +1 to wisdom.


I do not remember more "bonuses".

 

if you are a dreadmaster of bane you'll get a very nice +2 wisdom bonus for killing hephastos, the mad banecleric in kuldahar, in your god's name.

 

The potion of clear purpose (CON -2, WIS +1)is found in the Andorian village treasure cache.
Also in the pally and bane quests, in addition to stat increase they get a +5 HP bonus.

And Sherincal carries the potion of arcane absorption, which gives permanent +2 spell resistance.
ANd I think that the potion of magic resistance (+1 spell resistance) can be found while revisiting the ice temple for Nickademus quest.

 

Hmm... are you sure that no other class gets anything? I find it pretty surprising that the stat increase should be limited to paladins, transmuters and Banite clerics. Isn't there anything nice for monks in the monastery, especially after the trials? Could be nice for multiclassed characters, hehe.

 

afraid not chevalier
but speak of the devil, a monk1/dreadmasterx sounds very nice with this +2wis bonus right ? you can get it again in HoF of course.

 

Just to clear things up: You are speaking about the dreadmaster of Tyrannos, right? I did not see any Banite in the game. (Or maybe I am more blind than I thought.)

 

How about the one that greets you in Kuldahar Fabius Maximus?

 

Is he a Banite? If you say so.
But you cannot play one. The only "evil" clerics available are of Tyrannos, Mask and Talos. Or is this only in the german version?

 

Must be the German version. In English one he's still Bane. Hmm... a cleric of Bane in normal and HoF would get a total of +4 WIS. Add potion of holy transference for another +4 (at the cost of 2 DEX) and you have a nice +8. Start with Aasimar - and you have at least 28 near the end of HoF. AC +9 from WIS will work better than any armour and DEX bonus will still apply. I don't know if monk WIS bonus to AC allows shield or not, but that would be at least +4. Rings or cloaks of protection are up to +3. With even 18 DEX you have a nice AC of 30 without any spell buffs.

 

Hmm, we have some good MOD ideas here.
