    been playing a technologist gnome & am currently stuck investigating the dwarf clan bit, I got the looking glass rifle but all the fire golem things keep killing me so:

    1. how much dex do you need to shoot the looking glass rifle twice a turn & how is this speed worked out?

    2. does the healing jacket come in gnome size? Is there another way for tech characters to rest back health?



    this smilie is here purely because I liked it :throwup:

    the healing jacket can be made in gnome size, but you can't find one in the game.
    The best way to heal tech charactes is to get Jayna to make you potions and heal you with them and with bandaages.

    you cant MAKE one in the game? or you cant FIND one? which did you mean? and if you cant do either in the game then thats just lame, arcanum is a great game but its got some shortcomings...
    i guess you could always use the editor to put one in the game and then go to that location and get it, if you dont want to feel guilty about it, just learn your character up to the point where he could make one and then find all the ingredients and throw one away, youll have gone through the same process a normal size character would have needed to go through in the first place, so youll be guilt free

    You dipshit, the Huggle Master clearly stated that the small healing jacket can be made, but cannot be found already existing in the game world like the medum jacket is! Jesus christ I knew Virginia was a backwater of English comprehension, but GOD!!!

    Oh, sorry Snow. Didn't mean to post. The dipshit made me do it. Hey, did I ever tell you I used to have a cat named Snow? I was four when I got her; I know it's not very original. Brilliant Siamese mix who later in life discovered that she could train dogs to do her bidding.

    I was just teasing about the non posting anyway. That's kinda funny, because I have a siamese too! He's so sweet, and when I stare into his funny crossed eyes, I know that I'm in love. He even comes when I call for him.

    > you cant MAKE one in the game? or you cant FIND one?

    Umm.. Neither, I'm not very far into the game and I'm getting my arse handed to me, thought I'd better find out where the best place to put my points was before doing stuff, I couldnt see a small version on that item database thingy on the main page & thought hmm. Thanks for the info guys

    Is it worth upping my dex to increase my speed with the rifle? I kill most things in 2 shots but if I get mobbed I'm dead :-(

    Also whats a huggle master? I'm all confused :-?

    With an apprentice status you should be able to make two shots at speed 12 (usually equals to DX 12 unless you're encumbered).

    The healing jacket question had been answered.
    Alternative ways of healing for a technologist:
    Investing 1 point in Herbology to be able to make healing salves
    Investing into Heal skill to heal yourself using bandages
    Get a healer follower (Virgil can heal with bandages, Franklyn Payne can make and use healing salves, Jayna is the best as she can do both)
    Sleep for some time
    Pay Doc Roberts in Shrouded Hills or the Herbalist for healing you
    If you keep your tech aptitude at 25 or lower, you can be effectively healed by magic wielding followers (Virgil, Dante, Perriman Smythe) or heal yourself using scrolls, some megic items or those little red bottles that you always find plenty.

    Two points in electrical for 2 charged rings. + 2 DX each. Get Janya, her Therapudics will give you +2 each DX, ST, PE.

    Run a search.

    may be flaming posts like this are why your post count is so much higher than snow's. fuck off. couldnt ou find a better use for your time than flaming people for asking questions? his statement left some things unclear in my opinion, i was trying to get them clarified. YOU on the other hand just figured your opinion of me was what i was really looking for. it wasnt. i promise i'll put a little more thought into my posts if you promise to do the same.
