Character builds?

[Painmace]

Hi, just started playing the mod.
I play alot of cRPG and i have tried out Merc, how different is the character building in this?
And are there any  guide/typical builds?

You'll enjoy the levelling up more, it doesnt feel like grinding because Exp is shared through all builds.

For this reason i dont think standard builds are as much of a big deal here, if you dont like you're build you can make a dozen new ones with subtle differences at the same level for no cost.

Back when it was possible to attack whilst sprinting i felt that Str builds were the best in melee as you could sprint with high Str to gain surprise and speed bonus. Now it's a little more balanced i'd say, but i still do well with 30/6.

Final tip: Plate armour works in this mod, it feels like plate, dont attack it with a cut weapon unless you're a Str-build or you'll die. Blunt is good, or high Str is good for opening tincans. I know people say the same in Crpg, but you'll notice a huge difference here.
