After the wax golem and Walter Finn died together, both Gao Fei and Jiang Feng received system prompts.
"You have reached the main plot milestone of this chapter, Astrology Energy 1!"
Goofy's "Spell Thief" has been upgraded to level 3.
HP7(59), attribute 1(Charisma 22).
A new professional ability has been acquired: "Pioneer".
…
Stealing: When you launch a melee attack on a target, you can spend a "bonus action" or "reaction action" to add a "Sleight of Hand" check and try to take away a small souvenir such as a wallet from the target.
…
"I like taking advantage of sheep, beating them and stealing them!"
Gao Fei rubbed his hands excitedly.
This new skill is so to his liking!
The use of "leaving sheep with ease" is broader than what is literally described.
As long as the "skillful hand" skill is applicable to the situation, you can add a wave of "smoothly pulling sheep".
Stealing someone's wallet while fighting is just a basic operation.
It is also possible to replace wallet stealing with stealing spells.
Opening doors, picking locks, dismantling traps, and stealing spells all fall into the category of "Sleight of Hand" tests. With the help of "Smooth Hands", the above operations can be completed while fighting.
Open up the situation, don't just think about stealing people's things.
Engaging in reverse thinking and stuffing things into the enemy's pockets is also a "skillful" operation.
All right, why do you stuff things in the enemy's pockets?
Do charity?
It would be too naive to think so.
As the saying goes, if you want to take something, you must give it first.
In some cases, the three melons and two dates you steal from someone are far less tactically valuable than secretly stuffing something into his pocket.
For example, while performing an undercover mission, you are ordered to steal an important document from a criminal organization.
Now that the file has been obtained, you are also under suspicion and locked up along with several other NPCs.
The leader of the criminal organization believes that the spy who stole the documents is among you!
You are all suspected, but the leader is not sure who is the real spy, so you will be publicly searched.
Whoever the stolen documents are found on will be proven to be a spy and shot on the spot!
In this case, wouldn't it be possible to "steal the sheep" and transfer the files to a certain NPC without anyone noticing?
In addition, this technique of giving "small gifts" can also come in handy in battle.
For example, in a fight, someone would steal a grenade and stuff it into his opponent's crotch, then turn around and walk away.
While counting down silently, you can also fill a cup:
Real men never look back to see explosions!
As the spell thief reaches level 8, Goofy can steal one more spell up to level 3.
Unfortunately, this chapter does not have the powerful magic to arouse his desire for free prostitution, so I will leave this space blank for now and talk about it later.
Jiang Feng's "Temple of the Temple" has also been upgraded to level 8.
HP7 (59), attribute 1 (perception 22).
Gu Gong
Level 8 "Temple" can learn the second level 3 divine spell.
Although her boyfriend was waiting eagerly, Jiang Nuxia chose the most practical "dispersion technique" without hesitation, and did not give him a chance to have sex for nothing.
Gao Fei pretended to be shocked, but in his heart he completely agreed with her choice.
For now, there is indeed no other third-level divine spell that is more worthy of Jiang Feng's elective selection than "Dispersion".
In addition, Jiang Feng also learned the powerful professional specialty "Magic Fighting Technique" - after the attack, he can release a spell, or vice versa, after casting the spell, he can launch a physical attack.
Now she has collected the two major killing moves of "Magic Technique" and "Magic Fighting Technique", and what's even more wonderful is that these two major killing moves can be launched together!
For example, first infuse the Twilight Sword with "Injury Technique", and then release it through "Magic Technique" in melee combat, causing sword wounds and 10d6 necrotic damage to the enemy at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Feng can also use the bonus action to cast "Magic Fighting Technique", and then add a "Injury Technique" or "Scorching Glory" - any spell, as long as the casting time does not exceed one standard action (3 seconds).
!
Calculated in this way, it is equivalent to stabbing a sword in one round, plus two "injury spells". The spell damage alone is as high as 20d6!
This is not over yet.
Jiang Feng can also integrate the "Temple's" sneak attack expertise into the above tactics.
The rapier thrust magic spell (wounding spell) is considered the first wave of sneak attacks and can bring an additional 4d6 sneak attack damage.
The subsequent addition of "wounding" also requires an attack roll. It also complies with the sneak attack rules and can also bring 4d6 sneak attack damage.
After this round of fighting, the first is the Twilight Sword, which has been strengthened by "God-given Weapon" and "Weapon Proficiency". The damage itself is not low, and then counting the double "Injury" 20d6 and the double sneak attack 8d6, the damage caused
The total damage takes off immediately, and even the boss may not be able to withstand it!
Brother Martin was promoted to level 8 ranger.
HP9 (76), attribute 1 (perception 20).
Acquire the professional ability "Step through the Forest".
…
Walking through the forest: When walking, you will not be affected by difficult terrain such as quicksand, ice, mud, grease, etc., nor will your steps be hindered by plant vines.
…
For the ranger, the biggest advantage of "walking through the forest" is that it can be combined with the "entanglement technique" to move freely through the vines released by it.
After Martin upgrades, he can learn another 2-level natural magic spell.
He accepted Gao Fei's suggestion and chose the "Mistake Step".
The reason why Gao Fei provided this suggestion was not only that the short-range teleportation effect of "Lost Step" was very useful, but also had a small selfish motive, which was to use Brother Martin as a backup spell pack.
If there is no other magic worth stealing in the next chapter, he will steal the "Wandering Step" to fill the gap.
Martin's hound "Landlord" obviously did not appear in this chapter, but he also took advantage of his owner and followed him up a level:
After the end of this chapter, both Gao Fei and Jiang Feng received a reward job, which was Mrs. Lingna's "Mourning Singer".
Compared with other bard types, the "mourning singer" is better at inflicting negative status on the enemy.
For example, at level 1, other poets will sing "motivational songs" to cheer up teammates, but the "mourning singer" will sing "ominous songs".
Hostile creatures that hear the "ominous song" suffer disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws if they fail a Will save.
As the level increases, "Mourning Singer" will also learn more and stronger debuff songs.
To Gao Fei and Jiang Feng's surprise, they failed to get Eva's professional "Sword Dancer" this time.
This is probably because in the subsequent plot, Eva will appear again and play a very important role.
The three candidate bonus feats provided in this chapter are: Weapon Proficiency, Mastery of Dodge, and Combat Spellcasting.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng have already learned the first two specialties.
Fortunately, "Combat Casting" is also good. It is a standard specialty for spellcasters. It has an advantage in concentration checks and can cast spells face-to-face to avoid attacks of opportunity. It is not a loss if you choose it.
