<br>Civil abilities are the least used options out of the bunch and most effected by wearable items. These are broken into three categories, craftsmanship, nasty deeds, and personality. If the Inquisitor is the main character they should invest in persuasion as it is the most useful all around. If not, lucky charm is great for collecting large sums of money or better it<br><br> <br><img src="https://cdn.hpwren.ucsd.edu/RT/mpo-s-mobo-c.jpg"; style="max-width:430px;float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;" alt="HPWREN Cameras - mpo-s-mobo-c - Palomar Observatory: single image" />With this in mind, the only other skills that may work well with these are Summoning, Geomancy, or possibly Hydrosophist if the player wants this character to fill the role of healer too. Summoning and Geomancy can deal both physical and magical damage depending on the skill. Hydrosophist can only really be used for healing and magical damage.

For an Inquisitor, strength, intelligence, and constitution are going to be the most useful. Strength adds to the percentage of damage melee and strength-based skill attacks do. Intelligence adds to the percentage of damage magic attacks and skills deal. Constitution adds to the player's vitality pool. Remember that some of these can fight each other depending on what the player invests in.

This is the personal flagship of Dallis, and the injured Bishop Alexander sleeps in the hull. Dallis won’t let the player slip away with both her vessel and boss, which can lead to one of the more difficult early quest encounters: Lady O <br><br> <br>The encounter with Dallis can be quite a shock if one isn’t expecting it. There are no shops between Fort Joy’s docks and the voyage aboard the Lady Vengeance. This means all shopping should be done before agreeing to depart Fort Joy, and hopefully, some merchants are still alive given the player’s ability to rampage within urban districts. One should make sure their team is outfitted with good and diverse skill books, high-level equipment, and expendables such as potions and status affecting arrows.

Players don’t need to kill her, only wound enough that her vitality drops below 400 health. As noted above, she has undead status and cannot be one-shot with Death Fog.

Try to focus down on enemies in isolation and those on the fringes, ideally disengaging and moving away from larger clusters of foes after the damage is done. Given the Scoundrel skills that allow cloaked teleportation ability, it is especially helpful to target ranged combatants; the worst-case scenario is that they are forced to displace, sometimes costing the opportunity to shoot at the party, the best is that a threat has been completely elimina<br> <br>As far as skill goes, the Scoundrel category offers a lot of diversity and a lot of mobility. On top of the starting skills of Adrenaline, Throwing Knife, and Backlash, some solid early picks for the Rogue are Gag Order and Rupture Tendons. These two work together to fill in what are some of the small gaps in the class; Gag Order allows magic users to be silenced, allowing the player to cut down on a primary source of ranged danger and level the field into a physical fight, while Rupture Tendons causes ongoing damage while the effected enemy moves, punishing any pursuit of the rogue. On top of this skill set, it can be helpful to grab a handful of skills from Huntsman, like First Aid and Tactical Retreat, to help bump up the Rogue's mobility that little bit furt<br>
