divinity enhanced edition character builds

EDIT2: respec does exist later in the game (around level 13-15), but its not worth it since you lose ALL your skills learned from books.

Can anyone please link me to some usefulhelpful build depositories for DOS1, or maybe some general tips would be appreciated Im planning on running an ArcherSniper and a Melee battlemage but Ill appreciate any suggestions on builds in general.

I think you can reset your characters at some point if I make mistakes, but I cant get a clear answer on that either.

This is all I really found: Thanks for the help.

The main thing Ive found was that warriors and rangers work best when specializing in strength and dexterity, respectively.

That means warriors cant use spells effectively (you need 8 intelligence even for rank 1 spells to not fail half the time), except for summons and teleport.

Strength affects the knockdown Rangers can use the scoundrel spells effectively since both scale with dexterity, so giving your ranger 1 point in scoundrel is excellent for the utility.

Two points are probably not worth it since most adept scoundrel abilities require daggers.

All youre missing out on is the second master spell in each school.

Personally I thought having two master spells (which means 5 skill points) in both aero and hydro was worth it though.

Aero gives you chain lightning and make invisible, while hydro gives you hailstorm and mass healing.

Chain and hail are invaluable for crowd control while make invis and mass healing are excellent both in combat and outside.

Regarding attributes: your main attribute for each class should be maxed ASAP (dex for roguearcher, str for warrior, int for mage).

Every character needs at least 7 speed and 8 con to optimize start AP and AP gain.

You only get an extra turn AP on uneven speed scores (7, 9, 11 etc.) After that, its up to you.

I gave my mage extra speed (I think he ended up with 9 which meant an extra AP), extra con for warriors (both max AP and health) and I just maxed speed on my ranger (she ended up with 13).

Perception is not important, you can drink potions to find stuff and get it from gear later.

Bigger and Better and All Skilled Up are both great for any build.

The marksman focused skills like sidestep, avoid opportunists and elemental ranger are fun and fluffy, but ultimately weak.

Bully is an excellent talent for phys damage dealers since enemies are often knocked-down if you play your warrior correctly.

Warriors get picture of health and possibly the elemental resist talent (forgot name.) Mages need far out man and possibly elemental affinity.

EDIT: my little write-up here was mostly from experience playing the game, but this FAQ explains the mechanics and thoughts behind builds really well.
