The Devil of Caroc confirmed cameo? I doubt it, since she's one of the least likely to appear, but still :p I've always found it weird that she's called a devil, since nobody in the setting ever refers to such creatures and afaik the setting itself doesn't have devils/demons.

Well, I guess the Devil of Caroc sounds better than the Cean Gwla of Caroc.

In an earlier tweet already posted somewhere in here Josh responded that The Devil was just the name of the player character he was using at the moment.

Was it just me not reading closely, or did Pallegina feel pretty generic as a personality - woman-soldier, commanding type, less comical than Jaheira but somewhere in the same ballpark, still kind of insecure about her godlike nature yet on the outside appearing to wear it like a badge of honor?

I'm not commenting on whether or not the rest of the companion NPCs were remarkable characters.

I think your interpretation of her feelings about her Godlike nature and the "commanding type" comment show that you don't have a good grasp of the character.

I'd say she's one of the less boring and generic characters, but that's based on vague memories from 2 years ago. She also has one of the more useful unique abilities (Vielo Vidorio).

I really hate how PoE displays percentages. I'd much rather have the raw numbers, and no rolls with decimals.

Should have just stuck with a d20 system.

How does that calculation work? Those bonuses should be additive and they add up to %83 without the second sneak attack. 7,9 to 15,3 is a %93 increase. I wonder what that "conditional" sneak attack is and how it affects the damage.

Hmm if the original damage roll is something like 7,94444 and the sneak attack bonus is multiplicative with might (making it a %27 total might bonus), then the result is 15,25 which reads 15,3. Makes sense for the sneak attack damage to interact with might but not with pork. Though I wish they telegraphed these calculations better.
