yeah some of the skill descriptions are vague as well.


What they guy is wanting, I guess I am as well, is not the definition of the skill but what it acutally does.


Like unarmed lunge sounds cool but in practice is pretty sad in that they get up before you can swing again.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD....


*cough* ok sorry...


I respect the question about toughness, but for the love people.. if you hover your mouse over the name of the ability in your skill tree you will get what I considered to be a GOOD description of the ability.

Meditation allows you to stop bleeds, poisons and nasty effects to your character over time, at the highest level it allows yout to come back from incapcitation, and heal your own wounds, it also ups your regeneration rates on your HAM. Most of what I just said can be found on the description in game.

The same thing is true for power boost. Go look at the descriptions for yourself.

Hi,


I'd like a bit of clarification on when meditate can be used. Palitrine mentions that you can use it "any time". By that, does it mean:


a) Out in the field with no camp, house, etc.


b) While standing, sitting, kneeling, prone.


c) While walking, running, burst running, burst running away from an angry durni that has aggroed on you.


d) While fighting.


Please check all that apply.

Stop with the OMG YOU PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS posts... they don't help...



As for meditate the description says it stops bleeding blah blah what everyone else said. Every level you train you get +15? more points for meditate. Please, someone who made an "OMG" post tell me where in the game it says what those 15 points do. All it says is that itincreases your meditation.


Here is a concrete answer, unfortunately only for novice tk meditate:


When you hit meditate while bleeding you will get a "the bleeding has decreased" message until the bleeding stops or you die. The same as the Medic skill which decreases bleeding. I can tell you that if you take a HealthShot2 from a pistoleer novice you will probably die before novice meditate can stop the bleeding.


HAM regen? At novice level I see no increase in H A or M regen over sitting. While chain healing dancers in a cantina I actually ran out of Mind faster whem trying to meditate between heals; 1) because you sit then stand then meditate (kind of annoying animation sequence) just to get to the meditation postion. 2) you can not click a stim pack from the med. position so you have to stand up, heal, then hit med. again.


Wound healing? not at novice. If someone wants to prove me wrong be my guest, but there is no way I'm going ot sit there longer than the 30 minutes I did to see if my wounds will start to heal. So if it does heal wounds at novice it's VERY slow and not worth the time.



With all that said, can anyone giveany numbers on what the +15 skill mod does with each level?

I am a few boxes in balance short of TKA master ( i have mastered the power and the meditation lines).


Meditation drastically increases your regeneration rates. At advanced meditation, you can stop bleeding if you meditate long enough. At Master (ONLY AT MASTER) Meditation, you can heal wound when you meditate. This works in coordination with your regen. At master meditation, you will heal any HAM wounds first, then after your HAM(health, action, mind) wounds are healed, your secondary stat wounds will begin to heal. At Master Meditate, I heal about 11-20 pts every 3 seconds, of either the primary stats or one of the secondary stats. SO, if your entire 3 bars are black, it will take about 10-14 minutes of meditating to heal all your wounds up to full health.


At Master TKA level, your meditate is even better. I was a master tka in beat. It only took me about7 minutes of meditating to regen my stats to full health, when most of my 3 bars were black with wounds. I know at master TKA level, you can heal bleeding, poison, disease within ten seconds of meditating(some of them will not heal if you are lower than master meditation).



POWER BOOST adds about 300-400 pts to your health and action bars, for about 30 seconds. YOu have to be meditaing first to use it, and you get a huge mind wound in the process(pointless to use unless you are master meditation or master tka so you can heal the mind wound later).


Hope that helps

Elanae, where were you sitting when you did this? Just curious becuase I know if you are sitting in a house you will regen some of your wounds back also.

I think you're not paying attention. The change in HAM rates at least on my character is dramatic. Yes, this includes all 3 bars.


Wound healing? not at novice.





You're right about that. Just open the skill tree and read the boxes. It says right in the box for meditation master that you just then start to heal wounds. No time before.

I dont remember where I tested it. Was some time last week. Just remember sitting with my character screen open and saw the #'s change and was like omg it worked. But I know I was not in a medical center. I'm not that dumb. Perhaps it was a rare flook. I'll try again and see what I come up with.

Meditate = Sitting at novice for regen rates. If your meditate increases regen then one of us is bugged which I wouldn't doubt.
