Terrain Transmutation (2 Polymorph): Swaps surfaces in two locations. Good for either clearing out paths or placing nasty surfaces under enemies. Most enemies will instantly be killed by Lava surface Fire dam

Polymorph is a skill-based around transforming the player character. These transformations give the character a short-lived ability , anything from invisibility to charging at the enemy like a bull. Polymorph is especially useful for stealthy characters with the Chameleon Cloak which gives the character invisibility. However, Polymorph becomes more useful the farther along in the game the player goes. The Polymorph skill becomes great for crowd control and leveling the playing field with skills like Terrain Transmutation, Forced Exchange, and branching narrative RPGs Equal

The go-to weapon for the rogues is the dagger. The exceptional mobility provided by the class makes them uniquely suited to maneuvering around enemies to get the big pop of extra damage from a backstab. Simply move into the radius behind the chosen enemy (depicted as a triangular field with a dagger icon) and attack as typical. It is important to note that not all abilities benefit from the backstab position - check to make sure that the chosen attack makes use of the boost to ensure that AP and recharge time are not being wasted. Rogues can also be quite effective at a distance, but many scoundrel skills rely on being up close, so it can be wise to just keep a ranged weapon on hand for a tight situat

However, some heavy items such as crates get harder to destroy when they carry heavy things. Unfortunately, dropping these heavy crates on unsuspecting NPCs can cause a ton of damage. Fortunately for some squishier characters, this box strategy might just protect them from much stronger bos

As stated before, Divinity: Original Sin II has a very fluid class system. With that being said, players can add any extra class skills they want. Depending on the player character's style, several skill lines can be useful to them. For more a support player, investing in the Necromancy or Hydrosophist skill lines can be useful. Hydrosophist can use abilities like Restoration, Ice Fan, Cryogenic Stasis, Vampiric Hunger, Vampiric Hunger Aura, and Mass Cleanse Wounds. Necromancy has abilities like Bloodsucker, Decaying Touch, Last Rites, Deathwish, and Living on the E

Though the situation may change with the release of Baldur's Gate 3 , the closest one can get to having a full-fledged Dungeons & Dragons session on console is by playing **Divinity: Original Sin 2 ** . It is not just that it is a turn-based fantasy game - those are by no means uncommon on the latest console generation; Original Sin II fully captures some of the more niche and enjoyable traits from table-top RPG experiences. It adopts such staple TTRPG features as a broad range of abilities , endlessly customizable armor and attire, and a tone that carefully walks the line between high fantasy epic and goofball comedy (the natural endpoint for every Dungeons & Dragons campaign). It is especially impressive that the console port holds up against the PC original , maintaining the complexity with a suitably streamlined control structure. Digital D&D is a difficult goal by any measure, but Original Sin 2 manages to nail the feeling and fun, building on it with an incredible range of customization opti

All that being said, the player doesn't have to invest in any other skill lines outside of the two that are given in the base class. Instead of investing in those two and Dual Wielding will be enough. In Polymorph, the most useful skills will be: Chicken Claw, Chameleon Cloak, Spider Legs, Terrain Transmutation, Medusa's Head, any of the skin abilities, Forced Exchange, and Apotheosis. In Scoundrel, the most useful abilities are Backlash, Throwing Knife, Cloak and Dagger, Corrupted Blade, Terrifying Cruelty, Fan of Knives, and Mortal B

When divvying out Attribute points, it is wise to initially prioritize Finesse and Constitution. Finesse is the governing ability of the Scoundrel skill tree, the central core abilities that make the Rogue effective, as well as boosting the damage on the lighter Finesse-based weapons that are best suited to the class. Constitution will be especially helpful to offset the lesser protection offered by light armor - while it should not be the key stat for the class, having a solid health pool to fall back on can buy the character enough time to get out of danger. Wits is also worth dropping a few points into to amplify the already impressive critical damage of the Rogues, as well as ensuring an early initiative positioning to keep mobile. Strength, while not exceptionally relevant, can be helpful to beef up for some expanded carry capacity and the ability to get some heavier weapons. While heavy armor will never be particularly useful for the class, it does not hurt to make sure that the player can always access the finest light armor and stand up or themself in a head-on confl
