Actually, Reflex is a type of saving throw in Dicks & Dykes.

Relatable.
Because it is.
The entire genre is as pozzed as American comics.Kugelfisch wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 8:36 pmHe was asking for a cRPG that delivers the classic adventurers going dungeon crawling experience
Yeah, it fucking sucks. Strength is Might now and it's the same stat that governs how much damage your magic does and how much your heals do, too. So it's all the same shit. Every class wants to pump strength, con and dex now and every class is good in melee because every class has high strength, dex and con.Newhalf wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 5:43 amRelatable.
But really, this weird trend started some while ago that all characters have to be able to do everything so no one feels left out or something.
Incidentally, wasn't it pillars where they renamed strength to power or something and it also affects spell damage? So that weirdo RP fags can have their strength mage without gimping the build.
I faintly remember that people also disliked Alpha Protocol (at least I think that's what it was) because it wasn't possible to make a character that excels at absolutely everything. That's why System Shock had to be dumbed down even more for bioshock so everyone can shoot, hack, and psionics equally good and no one has to make "hard decisions" about what to put the points in. Or why in Diablo 3 you no longer allocated stat points by yourself.
I just like my min-maxing too much to enjoy this kind of babby crap. Making everything equally pathetic cuts out really powerful, specialized builds.
Which probably means Cleric or Druid since this is 3.0 where CoDzilla reigned supreme. Probably also Wizard if you can survive the early parts.
I don't disagree, but the thing is, you can multi-class starting at level 2 and you can have 3 different classes at the same time. Take Human and you don't even incur the xp penalty, unless I looked that up wrong. But you won't incur a penalty regardless if you level them evenly.
