Choosing Talents and Weapons For Your Character in Solar Echoes (part 5)


You can see how many of the choices made in character design are inter-related. Sometimes, you may have your heart set on a particular weapon, and you'll end up designing your entire character around that. Other times, you may find that your weapon choices are made to supplement the style of your character. Talents can also be equally defining for your character, and in the case of my Archaeloid, one of my talent choices was made to exemplify his personality. My Archaeloid is a very devoted, loyal protector, and regards his team as his own family. He can now literally take a bullet for someone with the Sacrificial Shield talent, which enables him to quickly shift 5 feet and step between a nearby ally and an oncoming ranged attack. It may not seem like the talent of choice for most people, because my Archaeloid suffers the damage if the attack hits him, but I just had to take it—it's what he would do!
