Str and Dex in 0.13

[Turukano]

As I read Str and Dex will be more important for fighting (double value?) in 0.13 than they actually are.

• This includes a slight buff for Chei worshippers and demigods, doesn't it?
• Does it imply other important changes?

The 'double value' specifically refers to the amount of bonus damage conferred to melee attacks from having high Str/Dex, that was very small before, now it is less small. It still comprises a pretty small portion of the damage done in melee.

Yes it means a slight buff for Chei/Demigods

I'm not sure what you mean by "other important changes" There are other changes in .13, some of them do involve the treatment of stats, that one change doesn't really impact anything outside itself though.

2 times x isn't a big deal when x is extremely small to begin with

It's still a tragedy every time a draconian gains str as one of his random stat gains

Alright, it's a *slight* buff for Chei worshippers and demigods. Thanks for your answers!

I will say the increase in damage from having very high strength is noticable, with the new !!!!'s and !!!!!'s in combat. Worshiping chei and having good unarmed I'll see !!!! attacks when I get a near-max roll, and can even hit !!!!! with things like blade hands.

That said, you're worshipping chei for this, and it's probably not a balance issue, but as a dirty chei lover, I like the change a lot.

Blade hands get more damage increase from strength than most weapon attacks.
