Awesome Stats?

Even with crazy good wisdom; I still have other PCs zip past my character in skill and and combat proficiency. And then die and reroll a new character to do it again.

So I'm pretty much at a loss.

Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

Your guild may or may not affect your skill progression in certain skills.

subguilds? (meaning guard, thug, mercenary, etc.) prioritizing strength? i heard like three people on the gdb say that strength has too much importance with coded fighting.

gorgio: someone who is not romani, not a gypsy.
kumpania: a family of story tellers.
vardo: a horse-drawn wagon used by British Romani as their home. always well-crafted, often painted and gilded

It's pretty easy to figure out how to train your PC if you just read the help files. All the info you need to skill is right there.

I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

yeah guys all you need is some baseless direction with a vague explanation to surpass people who have a firm grip of knowledge on how to lean the code in their favor

I can't be sure, but I THINK I got two AI stats on one character once...  Whatever I rolled, I remember it making my jaw drop.  Of course, it seems like the characters with the good stats are always the ones to go quickest; this is most likely a result of getting too cocky.

Still, my best characters have always had terrible (average/below average) stats, so I don't really sweat stats in the first place.

Regular practice is important; spam practice is pointless; challenge yourself.
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

Bro, stop being a noob.

Noob question:
"How do I get better at a skill?"

QuoteOffense                                                            (Combat)

   Offense is a universal ability which measures one's power to land blows
on opponents. It is a very basic statistic, and deals only with one's
specific knowledge of how to hit an enemy. The more times you miss, the
more your offense will increase, as with any other skill.


Everything in Armageddon with very few exceptions either works how you would think it would, i.e. makes sense within the context of the world, (Zalanthas, not Earth.) Or: can be easily found out through experimentation/study/reading of help files.

My forum namesake had the following:
Strength: Exceptional
Agility: Exceptional
Wisdom: Good
Endurance: Exceptional

Managed to get two PCs in a row with Exceptional Agility with the first roll.

I wish your account, where it has the description and bios of all your characters, it also kept your 'score' from when you died. Would be nice to see.

I don't always act superior... but when I do it's on the forums of a text-based game

I've consistently gotten an exceptional or AI along with an extremely good or very good several times in a row, now. I'm just that lucky.

Yes, I said it, two AIs, some 15 characters to date.  :P

Absolutely Inconceivable!

That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I had a character with 3 poors and an AA. He kicked butt.

I can't honestly remember a character I've had that EVER had an AI stat.
:/ bad luck on my side

In all of my years and nearly 70-80 or something characters.
I've only had 1 or 2 with AI for any stat.

So its not just you, its pretty rare.

My current stats are ridiculous. Three exceptionals and an extremely good. It's stupid awesome.

Dead in a week.

Just because of this post.

Low wisdom simply sucks. It takes FOREVER to learn something. Sure, I prefer RP over stats, but... it's just frustrating not to see that stat go up after a long, long time without trying to twink.

Wis = top priority with my next char, fo sho.
Sometimes, severity is the price we pay for greatness

I always roll full-random, and always do a reroll. Usually leads to some fun results.

I always go random. I've lost track of my AI's

My current PCs stats would make many cry and I did not even check the reroll.  ;D

I did this and let the other stats just go random.  I got lucky and they're all pretty decent but strength got the low end and is iffy.  Since I'm in a combat role...uhh.  It's annoying having to rearrange your EQ every time you get a new, much better but slightly heavier piece.  That and having your blows deflected by sandcloth.... :(

I'm pretty sure I'm going to app a half giant next time around, let wisdom be damned.

I do that, but sometimes, I undo the roll.

Best stats, to date (that I can remember) lasted me a good 2 and a half years.

Exceptional Strength, Very Good Agility,
  Average Wisdom, and Absolutely Incredible Endurance

Prioritized each stat.
