Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Enhanced Edition High AP cost to move

Since melee weapons can deal ~ twice the damage/AP as Bows/Wands it would be unfair to make strength based fighters too mobile and makes dexterity builds less distinctive.
My recommendation would be to take 1 point in Air Magic, so that you can use Teleportation and Thunder Jump to get to distant enemies much faster.
