A brief ascension primer (Silverwood event log) 09/25/2020 01:29 PM CDT

I normally don't post logs of mentor events, but someone specifically asked this time and I know it can be confusing to make sense of the sprawling new system that is ascension, so... here we go, enjoy!

I got down to the end of the Ascension part, right before OSA, and seeing the part about "melee characters need STR and their weapon ranks and CM and..." reminded me:
- Will adding enough points to AGI/DEX be able to kick your weapon RT reduction up even more?
(80 stat points between them, is another +40 net bonus. That means that <all of the "4" (except for Half-Krolvin) or "5" races> has a notional max cap of <race> [normal maxed stats] +40 [full set of Enhancives] +40 [Ascension] == 145 or more == -10s off.)

It will indeed! That's exactly where my first ATPs went for my melee characters of races that were only 3 bonus away from a threshold. (Without enhancives, that would be aelotoi, dark elf, forest gnome, half-elf, sylvan, erithian, and human.)
