[ PART 5 - Grinding some more exp ]
Hello everyone, I'm Scaly Muzzle (aka Nyrrion) and today I have a very important question for you: what happens when a dedicated_theorycrafter yet far_from_professional DOS2 player, who only ever finished the game twice - on 'story mode' - decides to take a (HUGE) step forward? Stupid tactician challenges arise!
And oh boi, this first one will hopefully turn out spicy enough to overcome the difficulty... wish me luck, for I will need it :'D
On to the challenge specs!
► game version: vanilla Definitive Edition (latest patch)
► difficulty: tactician
► party: 'Dragon Priestess' (custom lizard) & 'The Red Prince'
► weapon restrictions (from the start): [ Priestess ] daggers only ~ [ Red ] spears only
► armour restrictions (as soon as reasonably possible): [ Priestess ] Devourer set ~ [ Red ] Tyrant set (temporary switch for upgrading reasons allowed, for I'm not completely masochist... yet?)
► build targets (after first 4 'general setup' levels): [ Priestess ] maxed 'passive' dodge (no potions or evasion spells) ~ [ Red ] maxed leadership
► RP restrictions: [ Priestess ] she's pretty much a mad specist lizard obsessed with draconic superiority, so... NO attacking/damaging/killing/stealing from fellow kins, but any other tail-less character is a potential prey (pickpocket/murder/whatever) or is immediately blacklisted if they disrespect either the Priestess, Red, or any other kin (kids are safe) ~ [ Red ] no particular restriction (he's already sassy enough on his own, isn't he?)
► got any CHEESE? I will try to not abuse of cheesy strats and such; this is an incomplete list of dairy things to expect and not to expect: deathfog is allowed ~ cratemancy is strictly for funny moments ~ no infinite AP/turns ~ Corbin Day's services are allowed ~ no merchants save-scumming ~ no 'during combat' bedroll buffing ~ (list may grow)
