Re: Has persistence hunting been made more difficult? IDK if it's gotten harder. Feels just the same amount of suck that I remember.

I've got a 5mph Kaumolais with (it appears) at least 85% in all his stats because I rollscummed HARD. I never take one without maximum agility and strength for maximum spearchucking. Don't know how people are running at 7mph!

I've never run down an Elk without first laming or crippling them, at which point I switch from my bow/javelin to Kaumolais Spear and calmly walk them down, then bonk 'em on the head until dead. Then again, I've never made a character with sub-80 skills in tracking, spears and bows. Stealth seems mostly useless but I generally bump that a bit too. I try to stealth before I take my shots and I have no clue if or how much that helps.

The elk's faster, of course, but the animal walking in circles combined with my high tracking and hearing means I can usually keep a good bead on it even in dense spruce.

The name of the game is to keep following until they're in sight, then peg 'em with an arrow or javelin. Rinse and repeat until they're lamed/crippled... then calmly follow with spear to give the CDG when they're breathless. In a few previous saves I used a masterwork mace for the CDG but I don't think that's necessarily worth the extra weight if you have a kaumospear.

I don't bother chucking javelin unless they're within 5 squares. And I only ever bother USING javelins when I don't have at minimum a hunting bow or longbow.

Because - I hope I'm wrong here - it appears that javelins do LESS damage than arrows when, in reality, they should do nearly SIX TIMES the damage. The game stats also imply that longbows do more damage than hunting bows, when the game text implies the opposite.

Sami really keeps a lot of important stuff close to the vest and that frustrates me sometimes.

Raft teleported onto rock too big to climb Zoomed into a water tile on a coastline intending to land. Raft and everything on it was on an elevated rock in a 4-square mini-island.

Couldn't not paddle off the rock because it was too high.

Managed to push the raft onto another tile, but couldn't climb down except into water. So I hopped into the water... then promptly drowned because I couldn't climb back onto the mini-island because you "can't climb while swimming". Don't have a save for you because... you know.
