I'm pretty psyched to play this game, seems like dragon age except better. I'm definitely gonna play a ranger, but I've just been having problems googling the answers to some questions that are troubling me.

1.) Does intelligence/dexterity affect the damage of Explosive arrow?

2.) Does Way of the Ranger/Ranger Strength/Destruction/Way of the Battle Mage affect the damage of Explosive Arrow? I've been reading conflicting information regarding this.

3.) Does Confusion work with explosive arrow?

4.) Ranger stat points. Do I need to increase strength (is this needed to wear better armor?). Do I need to increase spirit for mana? I plan to take at least one point in life tap. I'd also like to take 5 points in mana efficiency, but that seems like a huge spend on mana alone.

Basically, how do I build my ranger in a way that I don't have to drink some mana potion every minute?

Finally, has anyone done any hair mods for this game? Not a big deal, just wondering.
