Alchemist Development
|
| An Alchemist's true power lies in their magic. Dexterity is the primary
controlling attribute followed by Intelligence for the Alchemy skill, and
each should be a main focus for development. An Alchemist with the expert
skill of Powercast is a sight to behold. Even late in the game where monsters
tend to be most resistant the cloud spells of a powerful Alchemist can
take a heavy toll on the enemy.
If your Alchemist is to be the main caster of the Elemental Shield spell
you will want to concentrate on developing the Speed attribute as well.
One thing to keep in mind when incorporating an Alchemist in your party
is that they have more armor choices than some magic users and can make
use of most shields. Well developed Shield skill has multiple benefits.
The overall boost the skill gives to Armor Class combined with the ability
to block ranged and close combat attacks open up more options for them.
Party formation issues revolving around protecting vulnerable characters
can be alleviated by a shield toting Alchemist. |
