Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer Hints

How should I allocate my bonus pool?

  • 1 of 5: Verrrry carefully.
  • 2 of 5: Read about the seven attributes on pages 14 and 15 of the Player Manual.
  • 3 of 5: You'll want to increase attributes that are requisite for the class of character you've chosen (Might and Endurance for Knights and Trolls, Intellect for Necromancers, etc).
  • 4 of 5: Also, decrease attributes that are totally irrelevant, such as Intellect and Personality for classes that don't use those at all.
  • 5 of 5: You can also subtract from Speed and Luck in order to get even more bonus points to spend elsewhere. Why? Because there's a nice well in the village of Blood Drop that will increase your luck to 16 or 17 no matter what it starts out as, and a guy in a hut a little further out that will make you a potion of Pure Speed (that's a big +50) when you gather enough reagents, which is very easy to do.
