The doom crossbow unaccessable?

Remove all ads!

I used my mage (15 int) to speak to the duergard. He said something about he is amazed and about aleesser version, thats all.
I tryed (reloaded that part) with a lower int character ad the text was different and said I couldn't do it. I assume that my mage might not be enought intelligent, but then why did i get a different message from the dwarf?

 

You need 16 Int to sound not too impressed so that you can help him design an improved version.

 

15 INT is bad for a mage anyway, unless it is multi-classed ofcourse. Shame there is no INT raising spells. There are a few items, but you need to find them in the future. I recall a +1 INT ring.

 

Compared to the "hell bolter" you get when you kill the duergar it's nothing.
Experienced characters can also do more damage with bows or other missile weapons.

 

@kmonster:
I totally agreed with you, give the Doom´s crossbow to your mage and the "hell" version to your sorcerer and see how they migth be also helpfull in the heat of the battle when the cool spells runs out.

 

Yes, you get the improved doom bolter from his body, but only if you helped him design the weapon first.

 

In this case it's probably better to go to the monks and earn access to the passage (but don't enter it yet). If the XP gained is sufficient to raise the int stat return to produce the bolter and kill the duergar, else win the composite bow in the battle squares which gives temporary +4 in a random stat if the user is hit in melee to increase the int stat (not sure if the bow can give extra int however).

 

Or you can make a new character with 20 Int and put him into this party long enough for you to get the doom bolter if you really think you need it. You can simply delete him from the party afterwards.
