Chapter 718 Magic Fighting Technique

After the wax golem and Walter Finn died together, both Gao Fei and Jiang Feng received system prompts.

"You have reached the main plot milestone of this chapter, and your astrolabe energy +1!"

Goofy's "Spell Thief" reaches level 8.

HP +7 (59), attributes +1 (Charisma 22).

A new professional ability has been acquired: "Pioneer".

…

Stealing the target with ease: When you launch a melee attack on a target, you can spend a "bonus action" or "reaction action" to add a "Sleight of Hand" check to try to remove a small souvenir such as a wallet from the target.

…

"I like taking advantage of others, beating and stealing, I like it!"

Gao Fei rubbed his hands excitedly.

This new skill is so to his liking!

The purpose of "taking the sheep by hand" is broader than what is literally described.

As long as the "Skillful Hands" skill is applicable, a wave of "Smooth Hands" can be added.

Stealing someone's wallet while fighting is just a basic operation.

It is also possible to replace wallet stealing with stealing spells.

Opening doors, picking locks, dismantling traps, and stealing spells all fall under the category of "Sleight of Hand" tests. With the help of "Smooth Hands", the above operations can be completed while fighting.

Open up the situation, don't just think about stealing people's things.

Engaging in reverse thinking and stuffing things into the enemy's pockets is also a "skillful" operation.

All right, why are you stuffing things into the enemy's pockets?

Do charity?

It would be too naive to think so.

As the saying goes, if you want to take something, you must give it first.

In some cases, the three melons and two dates you steal from someone are far less tactically valuable than secretly stuffing something into his pocket.

For example, while on an undercover mission, you are ordered to steal an important document from a criminal organization.

Now that the file has been obtained, you are also under suspicion and locked up along with several other NPCs.

The leader of the criminal organization believes that the spy who stole the documents is among you!

You are all suspects, but the leader is not sure who is the real spy, so you will be publicly searched.

Whoever the stolen documents are found on will be proven to be a spy and shot on the spot!

In this case, wouldn't it be possible to "steal the sheep" and transfer the files to a certain NPC without anyone noticing?

In addition, this technique of giving "small gifts" also comes in handy in battle.

For example, in a fight, someone would steal a stringed grenade and quietly stuff it into his opponent's crotch, then turn around and walk away.

While counting down silently, you can also fill a cup:

Real men never look back to see explosions!

As the spell thief reaches level 8, Goofy can steal one more spell up to level 3.

Unfortunately, this chapter does not have the powerful magic to arouse his desire for free prostitution, so I will leave this space blank for now and talk about it later.

Jiang Feng's "Temple of the Temple" has also been upgraded to level 8.

HP +7 (59), attributes +1 (Perception 22).

Level 8 "Temple" can learn the second level 3 divine spell.

Although her boyfriend was waiting eagerly, Jiang Nuxia chose the most practical "dispersion technique" without hesitation, without giving him a chance to have sex for nothing.

Gao Fei pretended to be shocked, but in fact he completely agreed with her choice.

For now, there is indeed no other third-level magic that is more worthy of Jiang Feng's elective selection than the "Dispersion Technique".

In addition, Jiang Feng also learned the powerful professional specialty "Magic Fighting Technique" - after the attack, he can release a spell, or vice versa, after casting the spell, he can launch a physical attack.

Now she has collected the two major killing moves of "Magic Technique" and "Magic Fighting Technique". What's even more wonderful is that these two major killing moves can be launched together!

For example, first infuse the Twilight Sword with "Injury Technique", and then release it through "Magic Technique" in melee combat, causing sword wounds and 10d6 necrotic damage to the enemy at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Feng can also use the bonus action to cast "Magic Fighting Technique", and then add a "Injury Technique" or "Scorching Glory" - any spell, as long as the casting time does not exceed one standard action (3 seconds). !

Calculated in this way, it is equivalent to one thrust of the sword in one round, plus two "injury spells". The spell damage alone is as high as 20d6!

This is not over yet.

Jiang Feng can also integrate the "Temple's" sneak attack expertise into the above tactics.

Rapier thrust + magic (wounding), this counts as the first wave of sneak attacks, and can bring an additional 4d6 sneak attack damage.

The subsequent addition of the "Injury Technique" also requires an attack roll. It also complies with the sneak attack rules and can also bring 4d6 sneak attack damage.

After this round of fighting, the first is the Twilight Sword, which has been strengthened by "God-given Weapon" and "Weapon Proficiency". The damage itself is not low, and then counting the double "Injury" 20d6 and the double sneak attack 8d6, the damage caused The total damage takes off immediately, and even the boss may not be able to withstand it!

Brother Martin was promoted to level 8 ranger.

HP +9 (76), attributes +1 (Perception 20).

Acquire the professional ability "Step through the Forest".

…

Walking through the forest: When walking, you will not be affected by difficult terrain such as quicksand, ice, mud, grease, etc., nor will your steps be hindered by plant vines.

…

For the ranger, the biggest advantage of "walking through the forest" is that it can be combined with the "entanglement technique" to move freely through the vines released by it.

After Martin upgrades, he can learn another 2-level natural magic.

He accepted Gao Fei's suggestion and chose "Phantom Step".

Gao Fei made this suggestion because the short-range teleportation effect of "Phantom Step" is really useful, and he also had a little selfish reason, which was to use Martin as a backup spell bag.

If there is no other magic worth stealing in the next chapter, he will steal "Phantom Step" to fill the vacancy.

Martin's hound "Landlord" did not appear in this chapter, but he also got the help of his master and got a level up:

HP +8 (67), strength +1 (21), natural defense +1 (level 6).

After the end of this chapter, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng both got a reward profession, which is Madam Lingna's "Mourner".

Compared with other bard archetypes, the feature of "Mourner" is that it is better at inflicting negative status on the enemy.

For example, at the same level 1, other bards will sing "motivational songs" to cheer up their teammates, but "Mourner" sings "ominous songs".

Hostile creatures that hear the "Ominous Song" will suffer disadvantage penalties on attack and saving throws if their Willpower save fails.

As the level increases, the "Mourner" will learn more and stronger debuff songs.

What surprised Gao Fei and Jiang Feng a little was that they did not get Eva's profession "Sword Dancer" this time.

This is probably because Eva will appear in the subsequent plot and play a significant role.

The three candidate reward feats provided in this chapter are: Weapon Proficiency, Dodge Mastery and Combat Casting.

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng have already learned the first two feats.

Fortunately, "Combat Casting" is also good. It is a standard feat for casters. It has advantages in focus checks and can be cast close to the face to avoid opportunity attacks. It is not a loss to choose it.
