I'm a Human Swordsman/CH and I need to know what a good HAM plan is. At the moment I don't use armor and don't plan on it unless I buy some RIS armor.

it depends on what sword ou like to use power hammer uses more heal curved uses action cleaver uses about the same for each type. if you like to use more then one then i would say about 1k in health 1k in action then max out focus and put the rest in ind so you can heal yourself

A good ham plan would be to slice it thinly and layer it on some nice wheat bread with some mayo and dijon mustard.


A good HAM plan depends on what weapon you are using and what buffs you can get on a regular basis and how much medic skill you have.



  • If you are using a curved sword (high Action cost)you should max your second stat (Quickness, the one that dimishes the cost of specials) and tweak your Action and third stat (Stamina, the one that increases your regen) until you are comfortable.

  • If you are using a power hammer (high Health cost) repeat the process for your Health stats.

  • If you have some medic skill, you can save points by minimizing your regen stats (Stamina and Constitution) because you will eb able to heal yourself.

  • If you can get Doctor buffs on a regular basis, minimize your Stamina, Quickness, Strength and Constitution none of these stats will matter because they will all be buffed into the thousands. Instead maximize your Mind stats and your Health and Action so you can stay in the battle as long as possible.

Don't neglect your mind pool. The rest of your stats won't matter if you have a tiny mind pool and can be one shotted out of battle by a head hit. And if your mind can't regen fast you will have a lot of downtime, since you can't get it healed.



Good luck.

Well I plan on only using a Curved sword and I probably won't be able to get buffs often. So far I've gone with


Health-850


Strength-400


Constitution-400


Action-900


Quickness-600


Stamina-600


Mind-850


Focus-400


Willpower-400

it really depends if you'r medic, doctor, etc etc


I'll suppose the most usual : you'r a little medic, and not doctor.


Then :
- buy some crates of tatooine sunburn
- use a good powerhammer
- min your strengh (yeah I said MIN) (I have about 400)
- min your stamina (I have 450 I think, but it's in order to wear my armor)
- min also your const, you don't need to regen your health, it's quicker to heal yourself (400 here too for me)
- keep your quickness low/average. something between 450 - 500 is ok (I'm near 480 I think, not sure about this)
- put between 800 and 1000 in health action and mind (I personnaly have about 800 in each)


- put all the remening point into focus and willpower, they shoud be around 500 - 600 ( I have about 540 in focus and 630 in willpower I think)


just for information : I'm human, and I wear an armor because I surrendered medic (I went master without wearing any amor, but without medic an armor can't be bypassed)


Tatooine Sunburn boot you for1600 in str and stamina and lower your focus for 90 pt. So using it with your powerhammeryou can spam specials without loosing any point of health.

Action-900


Quickness-600


Stamina-600





Stamina is a recharge stat.If you havenovice medic skills, you can minimize it andjust use stimpacks to heal up.


Also, from my testing, points are better spent on the main pool stat (action) instead of the support stat (quickness).You could go with 1100 action and 400 quickness,still do the same number of specials, and have a bigger action pool for your enemies to hit against =youlast longer in a fight.


For an even stronger action bar, maximize action and keep the quickness high. For example, you could take 200points fromstaminaand have1100 action, 600 quickness, 400 stamina.
