so, new player starting this game but im hoping to get few things clarified first.

1. What sort of build a battlemage should do. Ive read little bit about them and seen suggestions for both melee-based ones and caster based ones. Is the caster based one basically just wizard with heavy armor? What about the melee-based, im little confused about the attributes, is it something like max STR, around 10 INT with bonuses and rest CON and SPD? Im hoping people would suggest on attributes, talents and abilities. How well do hybrids work anyway, do they need alot of help from gear? Do you have to do alot of saving/loading for gear for it to work?

2. What talents would work for pure casters, seems Glass Cannon,Know-It-All,Far-out Man and Picture of Health atleast seem good, anything else? Does Know-It-All raise the max INT by 1, so you can later take 16 max or should you take it later when you have max INT so it raises the cap that way?

3. Ive heard that max amount of Attributes you can get at max level is 15, does that include the 5 points when you create your character or are those 5 points separate from the 15 you get at level ups?

Thanks for answers, will ask more if anything comes to mind smile
