Spellhold Question

Post by Owen »

I am playing a pure figher as main PC I did recieve some bonus speels (bottom far right corner star) slow poison, heal, 2 vampiric.

During the dream I chose wisdom (like I need as a fighter :-) )

OK, I wanted to protect my 18s in strenght, con and dexterity -

I dropped 1 in wisdom from 9 to 8. But did lose my "bonus" spells..

ALSO, during my trek through the 3 levels (taking my time) during the last level (2) I suddenly met Bohdi and transformed into a 'Slayer' Bohdi freaked and went to tell her brother and I then turned on my group. I then recovered (i periodically feel 'different')

I rested shortly after and upon waking AGAIN turned into a Slayer and turned on my group.

Question is.....

Is this in the fold of things and what am I to expect/do going forward????

Your special ability are not based on your stats..(I believe)..

As for the Slayer...you will control it after all this happens.. there should be a button to control this.

I will play (my char 'ring' turns purple during the slayer transformation) around with it - I am curious as to why my special abilities have disappeared. Was this due to my imprisonment/dream??

It's because Irenicus has stolen your soul..

And once you get Slayer form, you lose all your special ability anyway. I think.

Once you are past the point where you turn it to a slayer and attack your group..you will gain control of that ability...the only thing is you lose 2 points of rep each time you use it.

Appreciate the input, it appears part of the plot - thought perhaps I triggered an incorrect path.

As far as the Slayer aspect, I did not intentionally trigger - I am assuming it is indeed that my soul has been taken, and I am "fighting" for control.

That is it..just remember to watch your rep if you decide to use the slayer ability.

Is it true that you will lose HPs slowly if you stay in the Slayer form for too long?(I've never used it so I was just wondering if it's true)
