Learn all Schematics by level 50!

I went back to my save game for my tech character. I had wanted him to either build or lay hands on as many schematic products as possible, as well as have the 4 main tech followers. I skimped on putting points into other things but I still put away too many to become professor of all fields this time. When I level this character up to 50, he'll be a couple points too short.

It turns out by level 50 you'll have [64] character points!
....5 (from start)
+50[-1]
+10 (bonus every 5 levels)
=[64]

Since there are 7x8=56 learned schematics, it is possible to get them all and have [8] points left over!

I used Essence of Intellect to put the points into the tech. Then I used the manuals to wise-up to build the items. Unfortunately besides firearms, I put points in melee, charisma, persuasion and frivolous things. But if I had just done (3pt) firearms and the altar blessings, I would have been better off. Also, it's possible to use Brain Builder to increase your right stats (IN, WP, PE, CH) at the expense of left ones (ST,CN,DX,BE). However, if you go too low in strength you might not be able to carry the manuals and make the robots. And if your DX is too low, you won't have the speed necessary to get off more than a shot or two a turn. Oh, and Vivifier adds 1 to all your stats, too.

 

Duh. Counting is part of math and math is hard.

 

That's what the character editor is for.

 

But it made you feel good, didn't it?

 

Haha! You gunsling, yet you put points in Melee. That's funnier than Pee Wee Herman.

 

Whereas knowing all the schematics and getting killed by a timber wolf is a... good thing?
