  • @powersofdestruction5694

    Generally in this type of game you want to spec into a single "thing" per character instead of making them well-rounded: a backline assassin doesnt need healing, a damage increase is much more valuable to him. And Jim would have made it if he had 20 hp to spare.

    Funny that I've never heard troubadour in English before, though here in francophile Sweden I believe it's often used as a translation for what commonly would be referred to as a bard.

    • @foldupgames
      @foldupgames 2 роки тому

      It's used in English, but not often. As you'll certainly know, English imports plenty of words directly from other languages.
      Fun fact: the TV show "Gilmore Girls" had a character who was the town troubadour.

    Ok, so there are 5 different class buildings, each has 3 levels of upgrades and each upgrade seems to give a different class so far. That gives 15 different base classes, but assuming that each folk can only be trained a maximum of twice, that gives 15x15=225 different hybrid classes!

    • @sotnosen95
