Grand Maximum istheorically 70 i.e. rank 14 but the toughest (level 10) spells tolaunch require a 60 ( and a spending of 55 Steam ahem).)-With 1275 AP you can purchase 40 levels of FB worth 820 AP20 levels of CM worth 210 APand 5 times 9 levels of stats worth 225 APSo there is room for a FB increaser, 4 times from *2 to *5, each timeworth 5 AP, but to get one you must raise one class to 10th level ( soafter reaching GL 40 you may reach 250 FB).A skill or power (s o p) requires 1 point to climb a level, but you aresomewhat limited by the domain it refers to, see belowDomain Level 1-4 5-9 10-13 14-16 17,18 19 20s o p Level is DL+3 DL+4 DL+5 DL+6 DL+7 27 29To a s o p Level you gain exceptional bonus based on Domain LvlDL 1-4 5-9 10-13 14-16 17,18 19 20bonus +0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6Finally you get a bonus ( or malus) based on your stat scoreSo, to obtain a natural +44 to a s o p you need to be 20th DL plushaving spent 29 points in the s o p plus having a +9 stat.One thing to keep in mind here is that although at low level you can bea dreadful fighter but a poor wizard, at high levels you are bothdevastating and unbeatable...Near the end of the game, each domain will eventually have four classesattached to it, one Major, the second minor, the third being knowledge,and the fourth a bonus.Actually, each Class gives some points per level to the Domainso that one can purchase skill levels etc :--a Major Class gives 10 points per level--a minor Class is worth 6 per level--a knowledge Class but 3 per level--a bonus Class 1 per levelAs each class may attain 10th level, a given Domain can grow to100+60+30+10 or 200 points. The stat associated with the Domain givesan additional stat( magic included) times Domain Level increment - maxis ( +9( +6))*20) that is 300 more points.So max points should be around 500; alignment modifies this total asexplained below...Player's Alignment is based on AD&D i.e. nine possibilities, seebelow:<-Lawful: Empathy is doubled, Steam is halved->Chaotic: Steam is doubled, Empathy is halved/\Good: Music is doubled, Technics is halved\/Bad: Technics is doubled, Music is halveda True Neutral Player may get up to 1000 points in physics, and 500points in every other Domain; every other Player will have a limitationin at least one Domain which will lower it to 250 points at best;for example, Players GL 50 with +6 enhancement in each stat will looklike this:Al LG NG LN CNT 250 250 500 500E 1000 500 1000 250M 1000 1000 500 500P 500 1000 1000 1000S 250 500 250 1000As is revealed, an extreme Alignment gives two weaknesses, whilea partly Neutral is very skilled in magics.Let us now examine the 20 Classes :(capitalized is the Major Domain, whereas the minordomain is in minuscule)(remember, T or t stand for Technics, E or e is Empathy,M or m is Music, P or p is Physics, and S or s is Steam)Tm ArcherTp AssassinMs BarbarianEp BardMe BeastfighterMp DruidPs ElementalistSp FarmerTs FighterTe HealerSe MerchantPt MindcrafterEs MonkPe NecromancerEm PaladinEt PriestMt RangerSm ThiefSt WeaponsmithPm WizardSay your first Class is Farmer, then you pick Elementalist, followed byBeastfighter, and Paladin, i tell you there's no fifth Class for you totake and you're limited to GL 40 with no great skill in Technics, i.e.no M nor m in T.</blockquote>
