![]() Luck: This stat is allegedly tied into saving throws against magic and traps, however not enough information has been gathered concerning this to determine just how much, if any, effect it might have. However, if your character is a class that doesn’t cast spells, it can be safely dumped. Intelligence: A higher Intelligence score will factor in your MP per level gains calculations, so any casters will want to prioritize this stat. This is relevant to everyone!Ĭonstitution: Higher Constitution scores give better hit points on average during level-ups! As you progress in the game, you WILL encounter enemies who can damage your ‘back row’ (more on that in a bit), so even your casters will want a good Con score if possible. In addition, Dex is factored into turn order, the higher your Dex, the better the odds you’ll go first. As a result, this is a dump stat for any caster.ĭexterity: A high Dexterity score (17+) actually reduces your AC (remember, we’re using the old-school THAC0 system where a lower AC is better!).

I would advise making sure the Party Inventory Divider is turned on. ![]() The Minimap Alpha just determines how prominent it is on the screen. You might actually not want to max out your scroll speed, because in larger combats, important information might scroll past before you can read it! Of course, YMMV. Use is typical, set it to however you prefer. The hammer icon is the sound effects volume. I actually don’t suggest turning it off because it can be a useful audio cue when your bard’s music runs out, but YMMV. I suggest turning it down to around 25%, so you can still enjoy the music but it isn’t going to be loud and annoying. Since it isn’t immediately intuitive for everyone, and there isn’t a mouseover indication, here’s the options: You can try toggling it to see the difference and if it works for you. If you are playing with a monitor that is 16:9 resolution (720p, 1080p, 4k), I strongly suggest using this option, as it makes things just easier to see.
