Newbie Questions

Post by Mr. Clark »

Hey guys. I just bought Planescape a couple days ago and I have two EXTREMLY newbie-like questions:

1-Where are places that you can rest? I have look around for inns but can't find any of those, and when I try to sleep in the streets it says that it is to dangerous.

2-I looked at my character sheet and saw that I have 4 unused proficioncy(sp) slots. How do I use them?

thanks for the help :D
I will crucify him...real bad

There's a flop house in the section of town east of the mortuary. You have to find a trainer to be trained to increase proficiency. The first one is right near the flop house. You'll have to do a small quest for him before he'll train you.

1) Places in the Hive where you can sleep:
  1. NE sector - Open Tomb & Angyar's House (after you help him)
  2. NW sector - Flophouse
  3. SW sector - Office of Disease and Vermin Control (ask the man inside how he ended up there)
  4. Ragpicker's Square - Midwife's House (ask Mebbeth if you can sleep there)
    [/list=a]

    2)Allocating proficiency points: There are several people throughout the game, who, when you talk to them, will train you in different weapon styles. Each time you train in a style, you add another * to the corresponding weapon proficiency. You must have the fighter class active when doing this.

    *Note - It really pays in this game to talk to everyone with a name, including your party members.

There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Throughout the game, as you complete quests or meet new people, places to rest become available to you. Don't worry, there are plenty.

Ah, the Habiki School of Travel. :D

Really, you can *try* and sleep anywhere--if it's not allowed, you'll know at once. Abandoned houses (truly abandoned, not used but currently empty) are good choices. Be sure you save before sleeping in potential battle zones, however.
