Whats wrong with being a boogre?

[the mighty stamar]

You know I just completed the Boogre dungeon, and I converted my characters back...

But you know being a boogre is actually pretty good. As far as I know the only side effect is your spells failing?

I kept an old save in case I wanted to keep a couple of boogre characters. Seems like if you want a tank character to fight you should make a boogre.

And for that matter, what is good about being a vampire? Seems to suck. I experimented with the vampire thing and decided the just kill the vampire.

1. Boogres are extremely S L O W . . ..
2. Spells cast by boogres fail. In my observations, level 7 spells fail with about 40% probability. Level 6 spells fail less often but they fail as well. Level 5 spells fail only exceptionally. Level 1 - 4 spells (almost) do not fail.

If you feel that you can buy it and gain the additional 100 HP then remain boogre. If you find it unbearable - like me [img]smile.gif[/img] - then de-boogre ASAP.

Well where can i test to see if boogres are slow?

I guess when all my guys were boogres I had nothing to compare it to. Is there a stat to look up boogre slowness?

As far as spells, well are all 6 of your guys going to cast spells? If you have one thats not maybe they should be a boogre was all I was thinking.

Actually I don´t think you need to test it. You notice it right away. Did you notice that you can´t attack as often as you used to be able to while being a boogre. It´s about 1 attack for a boogre while the rest of your party manages 5 or 6.

That siad, there is nothing wrong with being a boogre! Absolutely nothing wrong what so ever. Does not the Serran Holy Script say "The boogres shall inherit the Serran" as well as "Duuuuh, 5 shiny thingies is more than duuuuh 7". LOL!

1. As far as the speed is concerned, your speed stat drops by 10. But this decrease must be only a part of the penalty. The boogres are much slower, as Willow has noted. You will see in the Boogre Prison.
2. Do not mix boogres and non-boogres in the same party because of the game logic. Once you attack, the monsters can attack. If you have both boogres and non-boogres in the party, the boogres will recover all the time and the non-boogres will have to do all the work.
3. The spells. Yes, they are. I am always playing a solo character [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Can you stop the bloodlust on vampires, or at least heal them? My character just keeps dieing . I don't have any saves before he got turned into one so I just created a new one at Valeia :'(.

Healing speels will not work on vampires. They need to feed on blood which returns their hipoints. The toughen spell works though.

If you really want to get rid of the trait you can do so with the editor. I´ll find a link for you. [img]smile.gif[/img] Ah here it is.

yupz, the downside is that u need to "bite" LIVING victims (monsters that bleed red blood when u hit them) in order to regain hp, how much hp is regained per bite i do not know, juz taht u haf to be REAL close to the monster before u can bite it..... [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]
the upside is that u haf gained a special ability called "Vampire Breath" i tink, which can be accessed by ur "dragon fire" icon on the left side of the screen (sorry i forgot wat it was actually called...).......

Just a point on your 2. Having a boogre in an otherwise non-boogre party is not all that bad. Usually they on ly get two attacks per monster. BUT the second attack usually is the last one. I had a party with one boogre and two elves. The death toll:

Elf 1) Around 150 kills
Elf 2) About 200 kills
Boogre) Somewhere around 650 kills IIRC.

A Booger is good to be used with a warrior class like a Barbarian, a Booger can be a mean fighting machine. I once regreted turning everyone in my party back and it would have been good to have a barbarian booger.
