Title: Special encounter scanner build?
Post by: Horatio on November 02, 2012, 01:11:42 pm: C&C please. I chose Energy weapons because of easily replenished tool for raw damage deal to critters in TB with Magnetolaser pistol. FastShot trait and 10 LK look stupid, i know, but i think 2 shots, (50 DP,)later 3 (75 DP)and 5 shots(100 DP) in one TB round are worth it. LK is used primarily to finding special encounter, but a ocassional succesful crit is mere a nice sideeffect.
My goals are also to maximise the IN and leveling speed.

Luck doesn't affect special encounters. I found all special encs with 1 LK. I still got screenshots if you want proof.

@roachor : you can find only 1 special enc with each alt? is it true?

It isn't true. You can do more than 1 special enc with one char.

I found Bomb Shelter and Family Grave with 1 char, not so long ago, about 2 months. And that char got 1 Luck.

As attractive the availability of the 12ga. shells is, Roachor, it still lack range for the prey i'm hunting in TB. And it doesn't wear metal armor, but has less laser DR than normal DR for a high-XP game. Centaurs.

If i would buildup APs, though, then it would be laser rifles with its Long Range perk.

Also, with BRoF, i can shoot 3 times a turn.
