Topic: [DONE][Perk] Fleet Foot

You are naturally quick on your feet.  You have an easier time eluding predators, and they have a harder time fleeing from you.

+10% bonus on your flee/keep up roll per level

I think I've experienced this deja vu before...

Re: [DONE][Perk] Fleet Foot

I think this one will almost be NEEDED for those damn deer! I spent at least 60 moves trying to kill one, and when I finally did... No pelt! Those bishtards.

Re: [DONE][Perk] Fleet Foot

I used the sling (bigger effective range), and stood where I could hit the spots where I saw them spawn mostly.

Please share Sam smile I've sworn at my screen too many times to not get help :S

Yeah...I tried the suggestions Brother Erryn gave me.

Spoiler:


Use the slingshot, rather than the sling.  At least, that's what Brother Erryn said.  I had better luck using the sling....not that it matters much because of the next tip.

Try moving towards the deer and trapping them, rather than shooting right away.  Once you get next to them, they do start to attack rather than flee.  This slingshot will do more damage because of the missile attack (5), but if you're next to one of them, they're in melee range anyway.

Supposedly, there are good spots to camp out to catch the deer...I'm not convinced of that one yet.

They improved things very slightly, but not very much.  My score after spending all of today and part of yesterday on the

Spoiler:

about 60 actions spent on the quest
5 deer killed
1 skin
all other deer successfully fled

The biggest problem I've been having is that deer my character can't even see because they're behind four lines of trees on the other side of the map trigger a combat.  They flee, and it costs me an action.  If they were close enough for the character to see and then successfully fled, I'd have no problem with that being an action.  When they're 25+ squares away and trigger a combat when my character can't even see them...

There's going to be a LOT of swearing in this quest...

Re: [DONE][Perk] Fleet Foot

So all those tips, I pretty much already figured out myself. The only problem I have with trapping them is that it usually will take 4 moves to get to a close 1, 8-10 for the fairly close spawn, and like you said, 25+ for the annoying f*kers.

P.S.

Re: [DONE][Perk] Fleet Foot

It does make for realistic hunting. If you've ever been deer hunting for real, you usually get one shot when you spot them, at which point they're either dead, or gone.
