Necromancer Skill Gain?
« on: February 16, 2012, 10:08:50 am »
Perusing the raws of the Necromancer Syndrome I found this.

[SYNDROME]
         [CE_DISPLAY_TILE:TILE:165:5:0:1:START:0]
         [CE_DISPLAY_NAME:NAME:necromancer:necromancers:necromantic:START:0]
[CE_ADD_TAG:NOEXERT:NO_AGING:NO_EAT:NO_DRINK:NO_SLEEP:NO_PHYS_ATT_GAIN:NO_PHYS_ATT_RUST:START:0]

Note the NO_PHYS_ATT_GAIN:NO_PHYS_ATT_RUST
Does this mean once you become a necromancer your attributes are locked?

I think that attributes =/= skills.
attributes are things like strenght, agility, musicality etc.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

That is a typo on the title, but we confirm that necromancers cannot gain attributes?

yep, since your body functions have ceased you can't build up muscles, there is a little workaround, vampire blood will grant you some attribute boost, but you can train skills normally

154. When you get the word "adamantine" on your LA vocab, you quickly cross it out and replace it with "cotton candy" and spend the next 10 minutes in fetal position rocking back and forth in fear. (Yes, I actually did this.)
...Wait. Adamantine is real?...
...155. You are no longer sure what metals are real or fictional.

Do note that only your physical attributes are locked. Focus, willpower, etc. will still rise as normal.

Are you sure? My necro didn't get any attributes to rise at all, I think.

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

Well considering that most of the skills that use mental attributes aren't used in adventure mode, that makes sense.  Unless somehow your adventurer makes trinkets or bakes cookies.
