Foci limits?

<< < (3/3)

Mal_Luck:
I think that's just what I said about the limits of Foci strength

Vash the white:
Yep, pretty much  ;D

Mal_Luck:
I won't pretend to be an expert, I've only half-worked on one practitioner with focus items. And since the update to enchanted items I'm most definitely not an expert on those.

iago:
Yeah, the idea is intrinsic stuff (specializations) is stuff you have to build on a solid foundation of skill and so forth, which is why the column structure applies in specializations.

But a focus item doesn't have a "skill base". It's a specialized tool (and one that can be taken away from you), so that's opened up to be more flexible in terms of how you can lay out the bonuses (though some of the bonuses are narrower, as seen with the Offensive Fire Control style stuff).

And beyond that making a focus item work exactly like a specialization doesn't make it feel *different* to me. :)
