>>7174

looks good, but judging by the stat lines of the companions it feels like it's missing a page regarding another stat boost

>>7174

The android angel narrator's text is kinda hard to read, but I'll give it a shot anyway, even if it may or may not be missing a page according to the other guy (though I didn't get the same impression as him). There's also several fuckups in multiple places. Spelling errors here and there, the dialogue colors for Mia's bit are fucked, the unique events are cut off, etc

>Orc

I pretty much never do this, but with the stats waving in my face everywhere I decided to say screw it and go for a powergaming build instead of just whatever I think is cool. I'm taking the attunement boost that orcs get for some reason.

>Ravager

And this is why. Ravagers need endurance and attunement, which is exactly what orcs offer.

>Thorn brand

I really hope that having abysmal skill won't come back to bite me, but everything here just sounded so good with Ravager. I'm already at 18 endurance and 21 attunement, and I reflect back the damage I attract

>Shield (Ten essence into it)

I'm not sure I'm quite understanding how purchasing stuff here works. I'm currently going under the assumption that you get everything in all the tiers that you've put in the essence for. So by putting 10 of my 16 into shield, I get the 2 basic arts (bash and wall), the 9 tiered arts (Waters of life, solid step, soul of the martyr, etc), the ultimate art (Honor of the pure), and the 4 passives (strong arms through red mist).

>Heavy arms (the other 6 essence)

I only get the first two tiers of passives since these ones are a lot more expensive, but I still get all the arts. Synergizes very well with shield. My left hand protects and heals; those who stand behind me will not fall. My right hand kills and destroys; those who stand before me WILL fall. Mastering the ultimates of both the shield and heavy seems to make me the unstoppable force AND immovable object, since I'm constantly attacking and healing and cannot die. Oh, and it doesn't matter that I'm one-handing my giant axe since the level 2 passive, Might of the Ancients, says I can do so without penalty.

<Stat block:

>Strength 17

>Agility 8

>Endurance 23

>Skill 10

>Attunement 21

Body too long, making a second post for the rest

>>7202

<Ascension

Again, Is this stuff free so long as I meet the requirements? If so, then I qualify for:

>Blood ritual

Since I'm an orc with the Soul of the Tyrant ability from my heavy blade tree, though the way it's set up makes it seem like I probably did something wrong? I don't know. Assuming my assumptions are correct, though, I gain blood magic that scales with strength and endurance, which is cool

>Envoy of the Storms

From my Gale Guard shield ability, I now do extra wind damage when applicable, and activating my brand refreshes buffs

>Titanomancy

Arc of deliverance from my heavy gets me this, which increases earth damage done. If I decide to toss my shield I can do bonus damage by actually two-handing my two-hander

>Crystal thorn

Frozen bulwark earns me a dark damage buff, and my thorns apply stacking poison. Detonating any auracite effects also gives me cdr on my brand

>Winged Rider

From soul of the martyr, or holy storm, take your pick. Holy damage up, if I'm standing on holy ground my brand recharges faster

>Web of frost

Again, my frozen bulwark. I move faster while my thorns are up, and ice does more damage

>Call to arms

Courtesy of Soul of the Tyrant, water damage up, and I get bonus hp for each nearby ally as long as my brand is active

>Cataphract

Unfortunately I can't get any of the weapon-based things (having shit skill ended up biting me after all), but at least I get the specialized class. I now can do bonus damage to weak points (not that I'll be finding them much with my low agility) and all auracite applications now get increased by my strength (which is in turn increased by my endurance)

>Nightbreaker

Holy storm and honor of the pure are each enough to get me this. Holy ground I make now gives more buffs, and allies can expand it for full effect, and while on holy ground I gain strength and endurance, meanwhile out of it I get agility and attunement. Nice.

<Ul'khan

So there's nothing about actually taking any companions, guild offers, or quests, but I just wanted to specifically give a shoutout to this guy for having his priorities right.

>>7179

I'm not sure why you think so. I didn't go through the effort of checking how to get whatever specifics (nobody had the same build I went with), but they seem relatively in line with what you could expect from somebody around your powerlevel. Chances are the creator didn't actually make builds for anybody and instead just pulled up whatever numbers seemed good anyway. In fact, I take issue with Mia's statblock not for being too high, but for being too low. Humans start with 10 in each stat, how the fuck does she have a strength of 9? And she's supposedly one of the guild leaders (even if she if she's clearly the most inept of them). The other guild representatives have some crazy high stats, but they're all from the first wave and have been through a lot, probably leveled up a few times to get things like Yoel's 32 agility, or Valenor having three stats of at least 23.

Whoops, I posted >>7372 in the wrong thread.
