SHADOWRUN DRAGONFALL SLAPDASH PISTOL UPGRADE
The only drawback of these boni is, that modified attributes/skills dont count as modified when upgrading a skill/specialization that depends on them with karma: If you buy cyberware that increases your Intelligence form 8 to 9 (Cerebral Booster, Enzephalon) you still cant upgrade your Drone Control above level 8. The example above works as well with the Golden Boy outfit, which only gives the bonus on Drone-Combat, but not the boni on Int and DroneCtrl – but you still will get the +2AP bonus from Drone-Combat level 9! Another example would be the small goody of biotech 2 (so you can see enemies health) + Pain Editor for casters: You dont need the Int anymore once you got Biotech and can get an additional point for the much more important Willpower attribut. This saves you 27 Karma, enough to bring an other attribute to level 7!Īn interesting point considering bonus points is, that you dont need to take care of prequesites. So you only need them on level 8, which means you only need 107 (35+36+36) Karma. But if you plan to wear the Victory Industrious Coverall you will gain a bonus of +1 to all three stats. This adds up to a Karma-cost of 134 (44+45+45). To get Drone Combat on level 9, you first need to raise Drone Control to level 9, and before you can do this, Intelligence must be 9 as well. If you want to maximize the use of your drones you need Drone-Control on level 7 and Drone Combat on level 9. Since the cost for higher levels of attributes, skills & specializations keeps increasing it is often usefull to gain the last needed levels with equipment and/or Cyberware. Outfits are extremly important when planning your Runner in Dragonfall, because they can give great boni to your attributes and skills. Writing this down seems trivial, but to me it has always been helpfull to see the numbers, so I can easily add them up. I will list here the total cost for each skill level (attributes cost the same -1): The math is easy: Each new level costs the same ammount of Karma as the new level. Next you need to know how much Karma this will cost you. So now you know how much Karma you have and what Skills you want. Spirit Summoning: 3 for Totem (cheap bonus spell for everybody) 5 for 2 local spirits 6 for the best item-spirits.
Conjuring: 2 AirBarrier 6 for Fire Barrier and Haste III 8 for Hellfire Barrier and Haste IV.Chi-Casting: 2 for magic resistance and spellbookslot (cheap magic-protection for every build) 5 for Martial Defense I and Counterstrike 6 for Chi-Onslaught 9 for Pain Resistance 10 for Martial Defense II (only reachable for dwarves).Spellcasting: 5 for Healing Wounds II and Weaken Armor III 6 for Aim III 7 for Powerbolt IV 8 for all the high-end spells (Elemtal spells with fire-, lightning- or acid-effects will still need up to 4 Intelligence, Petrify and Confusion will need 4 Charisma).Drone Control: 4 for having 2 drones 7 for the best drones.Decking: 6 for Mark Target III 7 for the best deck (Excalibur).Throwing Weapons: 5 for awesome 1AP grenades 6 for Spread-Throw.Unarmed: 5 for Ripp Armor 8 for Disarm.Melee: 1 to have thurst as an Attack for adepts once Chi-Onslaugt and Chi-Fokus are used 8 for Disarm.Close Combat: 6 gives defensive bonus 8 gives access to the best close-combat weapons.Rifles: 3 for Auto-fire 7 for Headshot.Pistols: 5 for all Revolver-Skills 7 for Chainshot 9 for Disarm.Ranged Combat: 6 if you want to play with revolvers, since it unlocks the warhawk 8 for the top weapons of every specialization (except for the minigun, which needs 3 in Ranged Combat and level 7 in strength).I will now list some of the more important levels in the different Skill-trees (imho ofc): Once thats done you can decide where to dump your remaining karma: Increase damage output (quickness for firearms, strength for melee, Willpower for Spells, etc) or your toughness (body, Dodge, etc). You will want to watch out as well for important/usefull abilities, that will be only unlocked if you go deep enough into a skill tree. Most items and spells have requierements you need to meet, if you want to use them. To know, how much points you need in every attribute or skill, you need too check, what kind of equipment you want to wield in the endgame.
