And done <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Very informative and well-designed website - great work! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Very Nice! I have bookmarked it in case I need it. Thanks for all your hard work! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Today I've added the last of the skill descriptions to my website.

However, there are a few skills about which I'm not sure how they work.
If anyone can help me out here I'd be very grateful.

1. Durability (warrior-melee-...-durability and/or warrior-defensive-armour durability)
I've tried putting points in this skill, but I can't see the difference.
No changing of maximum durability...
How does this work? Does the item degrade slower? Can you have a negative durability? Anything else I didn't think of?

2. Armour usage (warrior-defensive-armour usage)
Wherein lies the difference? (and: Is this what causes the "NO DAMAGE" messages?)
Does your armour degrade faster when you use this skill?

3. Turn traps (survival-traps-turn traps)
Does anyone know a trap on the ground in A3 or A4 I can use to make a screenshot of this skill?

4. Age objects (wizard-ethereal magic-age objects)
Is there any real use to this skill and what?
I can't say I noted any difference when using it (maybe that's because my chars are pretty much one hit-wonders)

5. Whirlwind (warrior-whirlwind)
Anyone have practical experience with this skill?
How much is the initial stamina cost?
How big a chance do you have to stun an enemy and how does this improve when adding points to stun?

6. Slow (wizard - body magic - offensive)
Did anyone see a difference when using this skill?
If anything the attackers seemed to run out of stamina slower, thus being able to pursue me for a longer amount of time when I used this skill

7. Flash and Swap places (wizard - ethereal magic)
When I used this skills I didn't succeed in transporting anywhere if there was a wall or door in the way. However I remember reading a post about someone using this to swap places with an enemy in an unreachable area (wall in the way). Is this possible, and if so, how do you do it?

8. Combine (survival - alchemy - combine)
The only potion I know how to combine is restoration up until large potion (permanent didn't seem to work).
Are any other combinations possible and if so, which?

9. Spread Instant/Missile (wizard-elemental attack-spread-instant/missile)
Did anyone notice any effect when adding points to aperture?
I would have expected the cone to have a bigger opening angle, but as far as I could see this didn't happen

10. Circle Missile (wizard-elemental attack-circle-missile)
Anyone know how to use this skill?
I could invest points in it, but when I cast it I got just a pretty pic of my mage doing something, which did cost me mana but didn't seem to cause any damage to my enemies.


Well, that's it.
Any other comments about the site are always welcome of course...

Hi Desdemona:

Have been using your site for awhile now. It's been very helpful for me and would like to thank you for your efforts and time putting it together.

One problem I've had though is that the link to the Teleportation Quest in Act III does not seem to work.

Again great site and well assembled.

Well I've fixed the link, thanks for reporting the problem!
(Note: in order for it to work, you might have to refresh the a3 pages)

lynn

any chance we can get a sticky on this??? or a sticky for the site alone? or at least keep it bumped up toward the first page?
this is great info and (i believe) deserving of a spot 'of honor', so to speak.
besides, when someone wishes specific help, something i'm perhaps not fluent in, i like to reference this material to at least find out if that something particular is included. and it's becoming a chore to find it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> it was all the way off on page 8 when i found it just now!
anyway, thanks for the considerations.

I agree with Lego but my idea is only one sticky with the links of the great sites about Beyond Divininity :
- Grim's Beyond Divinity walkthrough
- Desdemona's Beyond Divinity walkthrough
- Hellfighter's Beyond Divinity Karten
