Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks magic lockpicks, arrows, extra skill points, polym

I don't know if anyone found these already, but I'll throw them out anyway.

Did you know you can EQUIP arrows? the ones you find lying around on the ground near orc camps at times?
I had two strange things happen with I did so. First, when in battle mode, he would turn invisible when he stood still.
The second time he did so, he spun in place when he stood still, weird?

My male warrior, before he even reached level 2, got a very mysterious extra two points added to my sword mastery and augment damage (one extra for each).
I have NO CLUE where these came from, and I know by calculation I did not spend my own points on it. Any clue?

Polymorph seems to last FOREVER! This sucks since I want to kill them weakened as their original form and see them on my trophy list, I don't want to see a bunny on my trophy list in its place. bug?

I was able to BUY BACK finnigans magic lock picks from the merchant window, from finnigan himself! I was also able to do this with the eye of the cyclops.
I don't really carry them around, though, it's almost like cheating with that much more agility (mine is already at 100 at level 29).
But still, it makes me wonder, are there any other items that raise your stats just by having them in your inventory (not the stupid haliberd of the rock).

no bug about his lockpicks. yes people have noticed about the arrows, and it must have been a bug about poly. and yes, other people have noticed that skills going up.

Hi,just sell the arrows.Don't know about the 2 strange things. The extra skill points may have come from equipment,charms, books. That come with these bonus points.[you lose the points when you unequip them.]Never used polymorph.Although I was once turned into a frog.Often times you can buy back things you sold by mistake.But not if you sold them to the black market guy.You would have get them back before he goes to jail.

FYI if you are a thief I would not suggest turning tingalf in....thou the new patch helps he is still the best source of trap ingredients, lockpicks, etc

Equiping the arrow: a bug.

Free skill points: a bug. If you have level 1 in Sword Expertise or Augment Damage, and you save and re-load your game, you get a bonus point in each for free.

Polymorph: Yeah, it kind of sucks. I didn't think it counted as a critter on your trophey list, though. Try it on something unique, like the Executioner, and see what comes up on your trophey list.

Buying Finigans Lockpicks: Oooh... Gonna have to do that when I give them back...

And welcome to the forums! Enjoy your stay!

In a game started after installing the 1.33/1.34 patch, Finnigan is also a very good source for lockpicks and traps. In a game started before the latest patch, he is not, and will not sell you back the magic lockpicks.

Finnigan's lockpicks are the only item in the game that gives you a stat bonus by being in your inventory. There is a limit on how much agility will raise your offense/defense, so consider carrying them because they are unbreakable, even if you feel the +20 agility bonus is cheating.

Hey!

Would you mind telling me what that limit on agility is? I would raise it to 200 if I could get away with it.

What would you reccommend? And are there any other limits for the other stats too?

no limits, i put in a cheat that gave me unlimited stat points, i have 1500 and raising. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

There is no technical limit on agility, but at some point there will not be any benefit to adding more, since the maximum chance to hit is 94% and the minimum chance to be hit is 19%. Depending on your character level (and class), 200 may be a little higher than you need to reach these limits.

There are no other limits for stats. A survivor with a constitution of 1000 will get a bonus of 5000 hit points and 300,000 stamina, for example.

See differences between classes for a just-added example on the maximum effective agility.
