Chapter 96: Weapon Specialization

The poet, the mad warrior, the combination of the literary young man and the barbarian, the scholar meets the soldier. The style of painting is quite inconsistent, but it cannot stand up to its practicality!

After the "violence", sing a "motivation song" to yourself to dispel the exhaustion. This is called "humanoid perpetual motion machine".

Berserker Priest, "God-given Weapon" selects the weapons that the Berserker is good at, which increases the hit and damage, and can also give yourself milk. It is also an upright and simple combination.

For priests and thieves, "God-given weapons" choose weapons that the thieves are good at. They have an advantage in attack rolls. "Sneak attack" makes it easier to hit, and the damage can also be calculated into the perception correction.

For priest warlocks, "divine weapons" and "contract weapons" are superimposed, and the damage is also included in the perception and charm modifications.

Rogue Warlock, this is forcing the cosplay of "Trickster".

The warlock can awaken a ray attack magic at will, such as "Fire Arrow", quietly sneak up on the cat in the woods, aim at the enemy's back, and happily launch a long-range sneak attack.

There are more ways to play with this kind of mask combination that are worthy of further exploration. Gao Fei decided to wait until his free time to think about it, and first took the bonus feat in this chapter.

The three candidate reward feats are "Powerful Attack", "Parry" and "Weapon Focus".

In order to enrich the list of "free feats", Gao Fei first excluded the powerful attack already obtained in the Berserker module.



Parry: When an enemy attempts to attack you, spend a reaction action to give the opponent disadvantage in this attack.

Weapon Focus: Choose a type of weapon you are already proficient in (slashing, piercing, bludgeoning), and gain advantage on attack rolls with that type of weapon (winter of the die). This feat can be learned repeatedly, but every time

Each time you have to choose a different weapon type.



"Parry" and "Weapon Specialization", the former reduces the enemy's hit rate, while the latter increases one's own hit rate. They complement each other perfectly. It would be perfect if you get both, but unfortunately you can only choose one of the two.

In fact, as far as the "imitator" profession is concerned, there is no shortage of means to gain attack advantages, such as the "fighting style" of the "warrior mask", the "divine weapon" of the "priest mask", and the "warlock mask"

"Contract weapons" lack defensive means, so it seems that "parry" should be chosen.

However, Goofy has obtained "Intuitive Dodge" in the last chapter. The moment he is hit by an enemy, he can spend a reaction action to offset half of the damage.

"Intuitive dodge" and "parry" are both defensive specialties, and both require reaction actions. This creates a problem of competition for resources.

Goofy hasn't got "Combat Reflexes" yet. He only has one reaction action per round. Should he use it to activate "parry" or "intuitive dodge"?

The overall performance of "Intuitive Dodge" is better than that of "Parry". Since he has "Intuitive Dodge", Gao Fei decided to take "Weapon Specialization" first.

Most weapons in the world can be divided into three categories: "slashing", "piercing" and "bludgeoning".

The sharp blades are mostly "slashing weapons".

Spears, crossbows and firearms are "piercing weapons".

War hammers, clubs, fists and feet are "bludgeoning weapons".

"Weapon Specialization" corresponds to the above three weapon types, and one type must be selected to gain attack advantage.

From the perspective of general usability, we should first exclude "blunt strikes" - among commonly used weapons, blunt weapons are the least popular and are not very powerful.

There is actually no clear dividing line between the two weapon types of "slashing" and "piercing".

For example, a long sword can be used to cut or stab people, and has both types of damage.

If you select "Weapon Specialization (Slashing)", you will not be able to gain attack advantage when thrusting with a long sword.

In addition to the "traitor" rapier, other sword weapons, as well as battle axes, giant axes and throwing axes, are all slashing weapons.

Goofy's magic scythe "Thunder King's Fang" and the beast-taming whip presented by Sister Claire are also slashing weapons.

Generally speaking, melee weapons focus on slashing, while long-range weapons focus on piercing.

Goofy prefers melee combat to shooting, so he ultimately chose "Weapon Specialization (Slashing)".

This is the end of Chapter 3 of "Duel Agent". Gao Fei exited the game just after 12 noon.

Jiang Feng and Ma Yun teamed up to attack the Berserker module, and they had just finished the third chapter, so the three of them went offline together and went to the restaurant for lunch.

Xiao Ma was so addicted that after lunch he took Gao Fei and Jiang Feng to continue exploring the third chapter of "The Wizard of Oz".

Entering the game again, the three of them returned to the Fairy Wilderness, where they found themselves in a forest camp bathed in the lazy afternoon sunshine.

Gao Fei opens the team page and checks the status of his teammates.

Jiang Feng's "Berserker" has been upgraded to level 4, and he has obtained all three bonus specialties, "Endurance", "Powerful Attack" and "Survival Expert". He is carrying the refined battle ax captured from Captain Kos on his shoulders and wearing

It's the exquisite breastplate that Ma Yun made for her.

Ma Yun is still a level 3 "Weapon Master", and is followed by two NPC teammates, Scarecrow Vita and Tin Man Nick.

Coupled with Gao Fei, a level 4 "imitator", the five-person adventure team left the camp where they took their lunch break and continued to move toward the Emerald City along the road paved with yellow bricks.

About half an hour after walking out, the roar of wild beasts suddenly came from the dense forest ahead.

Jiang Feng, who was exploring the way ahead, quickly stopped and turned back to signal his companions to get ready for battle.

The grass and trees in the forest swayed, and suddenly a golden lion came out!

This guy looks majestic, but his demeanor is flustered. He holds his head and wails as soon as he appears.

"Oh! It's terrible! Evanora, Kalidas, please don't hurt me! God, come and save me!"

"If my ears weren't rusty..." Tin Woodman Nick held his battle ax tightly, with a surprised look behind his visor, "The lion opposite seems to be speaking human language."

"Yes, my friend, that is indeed a talking lion." Scarecrow Vita walked towards the lion curiously and looked up and down at the panicked beast: "I bet this is a rare enlightened lion!"

Nick took the words expressionlessly: "As rare as the 'Enlightenment Scarecrow' and the 'Enlightenment Tin Man'."

Goofy glanced at Nick, and he didn't expect that this cold Tin Woodman could tell bad jokes!

Of course, it's possible that Nick was just stating the facts.

"There is such a talking lion in the original work of "The Wizard of Oz"!" Ma Yun's eyes shone with excitement, "Great, we have a new teammate!"

"Don't be too happy yet. I remember this guy is a coward."

Jiang Feng walked towards the Lion of Enlightenment carrying his battle ax and shouted loudly:

"Hey! Talking lion, what's your name?"

It’s the last day of 2021. Those who still have monthly votes remember to vote.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon again, and there are a lot of trivial things at home during the New Year, such as visiting relatives and friends.

I'll try my best to update four times a day... If I can't do it, I would like to ask my book friends to bear with me.

thanks for your support!
