    I don't have any of those anumlets or the alter. What do those do? I'm only just in ashbury, so I probably haven't come across that stuff yet.

    I don't know about the amulet, but if you haven't started on the Gods Quest, you can start with Torg's Alter. It's really easy to find, if you haven't found it yet. Just travel from Shrouded Hills to Tarant, and you'll see it. Talk to the people in Tarant University to find out more about the Gods Quest. And what IS shadow shift?

    I have no idea what shadow shift is actually.. heh. The character generator put that in. That's 2 bugs already in it actually (the other was using dex for firearms).

    I usually use the teleportation spell.. so I guess I'm going to miss some stuff on the map then.. bummer.

    The heal master wears the amulet of Kan-el (+4 con).

    Okay

    My character level is around 37 or so. I have all the conveyance and force spells. I also have agility of fire. I have 12 in strength, 12 in dex. I actually have 14 with the gloves of dexterity and with the agility of fire, i have 18+. Right now I'm using the filament sword and nothing is even posing a treat. I have 9 in Constituion, 18 in willpower, 6 in perception and 9 in all the other stats. I have a necklance that grants +2 to beauty as well. I have all the dodge and melee ranks full and I have melee master. I have 3 in haggle and 1 in persuasion.

    Now the big question. I actually saved 4 points, and I have about 14 points to get through leveling some more. What the heck to put them in? The character I wanted to realize is already done (a lot sooner than I thought). She's a kick-arse elf with a sword and dread armor beating everything up. If I can't kill it, I disintergrate it. Travel? I teleport. It seems I have everything. So should I put the last 18 points in strength and fatigue? Any other skills worth using for this kind of character? Many thanks.

    You might as well max out dexterity - you get the bonus speed of 25! If you're magickal, it might be worth putting two extra CP's in willpower too - immunity to virtually all spells!
