Strategy

  • Whitehooves have an enormous advantage over their western undead brethren: access to medical injectors, and thus to potent healing and curing options that ghouls and skeletons lack.
  • Whitehoof characters should spend either very few, or a large number of generic points on racial skills.
  • Characters planning to invest heavily in crafting skills or in powerful class-based generics can run something like 2/0/0/0, gaining a lot of status resistance and enough speed for basic kiting at almost no cost.
  • Characters with fewer generic options, and players familiar enough with the crafting system to spend their points carefully, may wish to go 5/3+/4+/0-1, gaining up to 30 flat damage reduction and +25% damage.
  • Characters with other speed bonuses can more easily keep their racial stacked
  • Characters who use weapon attacks may wish to limit their investment in Combat Accuracy and find other ways to make sure attacks hit.
