Creature Intel
There are numerous types of creatures in the game and, if you want an edge in combat, it’s important to gather as much information about them as possible. A high Lore value is an indispensible trait in a party. It allows the group to record the stats of a monster in the game’s Bestiary. Depending on the Lore value and type of creature, it can take several encounters to fully reveal a creature’s secrets. Fortunately, you can immediately access the full details on any creature with this guide!
A Tactical Edge in Combat
Many battles are won or lost before entering combat. Use Scouting mode to sneak up on foes you are about to engage. When the cursor is placed over an enemy, its defenses can be revealed if its stats have been stored in the Bestiary. A quick glance at this completed Bestiary reveals the enemies strengths, from their attributes, as well as their weaknesses in defense. The foes Damage Reduction is clearly listed, along with what specific type it can resist. By glancing at its four defensive categories (Deflection,Reflex, Will, and Fortitude) and damage reduction, it should become clear which attack type that creature is most susceptible to. Alter weapon choices and spells to prey on enemies’ relative weakness and avoid attacking its area of highest damage reduction.
