While already pickpocketing someone, become invisible to other characters’ vision cones. This is a great way to making stealing much easier, especially in crowded towns or enemy filled dungeons. Anyone can be the team’s thief by investing in the Thievery Civil Ability, but Undead and Dwarves have small advantages: the former can unlock doors with their fingers, and the latter gains a bonus to Sneaking to initiate crimes in the first place. Stealing from others is the best means of making money or nabbing key items instead of completing a qu

Spirit Vision is one of the most important abilities a player can use to uncover hidden quests, talk to spirits that have passed on, and uncover any hidden information that will help them understand the lore of the world even more. Unfortunately, this skill needs to be activated every single time, and the instances of its use aren't always that obvi

Melee attacks deal bonus fire damage to burning enemies, poison to poisoned targets, and physical damage to bleeding targets. This talent is only helpful if someone already has the Torturer talent, as it allows them to bypass enemy armor to apply burning, poisoned, or bleed. In that case, it can be good for melee characters that are backed by Necromancy, Pyrokinetic, or Geomancer. Another aspect to remember is that Intelligence-based fighters can wield staff weapons to deal fire and poison damage in me

The base Battlemage during character creation (or if you recruit a companion) is 1 Strength, 1 Intelligence, 1 Constitution, 1 Warfare, 1 Aerotheurge, 1 Persuasion; Battering Ram, Shocking Touch, Blinding Radiance skills and the Comeback Kid Talent. While Air damage is serviceable, you can cause much more destruction by beginning with Fire damage and adding in other elements la

For new Talents aim for Executioner to regain AP, Hothead for critical hit rate, and Elemental Affinity to reduce AP costs; if you are using more spells than pure melee also get Savage Sortilege to gain magic criticals. With Gift Bags, Sadist will deal Fire damage on Burning targ

Divine Talents are a completely optional feature. Utilizing them will disable achievements/trophies, so consider these new talents only if you don’t care about earning them, or are on a second playthrough of the game. To enable the talents, when in game open the main menu and select Gift Bag Features. In the next screen, toggle on Divine Talents and then apply. The game will reload (so it is a good idea to save beforehand). If the Divine Talents option is locked, it means that it was previously enabled and can no longer be disabled. If you are in a multiplayer SLG game walkthrough, make sure everything loaded and synced correctly for all play

The starting class Metamorph showcases the Polymorph line of magic. While Larian Studios provides a simple first-level build, characters can be improved by adjusting start parameters and investing in an array of combat ski

Characters gain immunity to being Stunned, Frozen, Knocked Down, Polymorphed (Chickened), or Crippled for one turn. This can only proc once every three turns. You also cannot take Indomitable and Glass Cannon at the same time. This talent is great for increasing survivability, especially for those that have low physical or magic armor. Consider pairing this further with Walk it Off for even more status immun

Circle of Suns (Ring): decide to kill Sadha inside the Arx Lizard Consulate (this may cause Red Prince to go hostile if he isn’t a main character). Gives a nice boost to Pyrokinetic and the Flaming Skin skill for f

For your first three skills consider Battle Stomp for area damage (it will deal elemental damage if you wield a staff, but will not Knock Down if the target has Physical armor). Take two of the three: Ignition to light enemies aflame, Searing Daggers to create Fire surfaces, and Haste to improve your AP regeneration. You will also have All In if you wield a two-handed weapon, or Staff of Magus ranged attack with an elemental staff. For the first Talent, Torturer will let you inflict Burn status even if enemies have Magical armor, or Opportunist to get free attacks on moving targ

Spread Your Wings (2 Polymorph): Allows you to fly nearby points. Keep in mind that if you try to fly over death fog (and aren’t Undead) you might still wind up dying. Good for movement, but cannot use Spider Legs at the same t

Skin Graft (3 Polymorph): Resets all of your cooldowns. This is powerful on its own but becomes even crazier on Fane, whose special Time Warp allows an instant second turn (though for 1 Source point, and another for Skin Graft itse

Spider Legs (2 Polymorph): Fire off webs that prevent enemies from moving and grants you Haste if you step in them. The webs can also spread fire already laid out by yourself or an ally. A great control ability, but cannot be used at the same time as Spread Your Wi

The default Metamorph build is 2 Strength, 2 Finesse, 1 Two-Handed, 1 Polymorph, 1 Persuasion; Chicken Claw, Tentacle Lash, Bullhorns skills and Opportunist Talent. This is what recruited companions will have, but your main character can tweak this to be a bit better. You can also retrain your allies once getting to a Magic Mirror for respec
