Gadgets and skills
   

Is there a gadget list anywhere?
I have only been able to partial make a jack-in-the- box ( need to find some sort of noise maker to go in it ). So far i have found a portal, 2 micro chips and a magnifying glass.

Also whats these expert skills i have seen mentioned? not mentioned in the manual, my chars are lvl8/9s and i have been spreading my stats around when i leveled up, will i be able to reach these skills now?( do they make much of a diference ? ) what is the maximum lvl u can reach in the game?

thank

Skills:
Str 100=Powerstrike; your melee blows will penetrate more often.
Int 100=Powercast; your attack spells will overcome resistance more often.
Pie 100=Iron Will; you will avoid more damage from magic.
Vit 100=Iron Skin; you will avoid more physical damage.
Dex 100=Reflextion; you will be harder to hit.
Spe 100=Snakespeed; you will have a higher initiative rating.
Sen 100=Eagle Eye; your ranged attacks will hit more often.

Most of my chars get Dex maxxed first--not only does it help your combat skills, but the extra AC is a treat. Other than that, my favorites have been Speed for one char who casts Haste (or drums it) and Str for Fighters/Hybrids and Int for non-Divinity Casters. There's enough anti-magic equipment and spells that Piety is really unimportant, and even a Div-Caster benifits only by faster Skill increases.
Then comes Vit, esp for a Bard, for not only the HP but also the Stamina.
In a party of 6 or more, it's hard to max more than 3 Attributes before the point where the Bonus Skill won't develop much before the end.

Yes, there is list of all possible gadgets. Sadly I have not my favorit links here.
But try link section on official Wizardry8 page. There is surely link I am talking here about.

Good luck.

You cannot make the Demon-in-a-Box or the Watchdog Alarm. Those didn't make it into the released game.

MichaelC, I would request that this thread be made sticky if the info cannot be added to our Hints.
