Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Enhanced Edition Vindictive bonus?

I am not sure exactly how traits work but looking at a table on the wikia site it indicates that if you get Vindictive you gain a 20% chance to hit on attacks of opportunity. I think one of the talents is opportunist which if I understand is the only way to be able to gain the ability to make attacks of opportunity right?

If so does this mean that the vindictive trait is worthless on a character who doesn't have the opportunist talent?

Also are the 2 PCs the only ones who can get traits or can your other companions get traits also?

Only the 2 PCs can have traits, and yeah the trait is useless if you don't have the opportunist talent.

Same thing with the backstab trait (compassionate / heartless).


Managing builds is a strange experience in this game, but fortunately it's secondary because not that much necessary, and the game is dynamic enough not to be completely dragged down by a strange static balance.
