Yes, is the fractional value of speed rounded according to the standard rules?

I would have already taken it if I were sure. And I would have taken Lifestyle as well, but with a strength of 5, I suspect there will be a lot of back and forth...

With a strength of 5, a single attack, and the enemy having resistances, Life Steal seems more useful for assassins, considering the damage multiplier from a backstab.

Well, I guess that's how it should be. -Poison, -Decapitation. +Death Avoidance. And add some hit points to agility. 99 should be enough to withstand one hit (it should be, right?). And the rest of the time, we'll dodge/parry. Mana isn't really used at all this way, though.

99 should be enough to withstand one hit (it should be, right?).

You can probably survive one regular hit from a one-handed weapon or a spear. Maybe you can even survive a shot from a bow or crossbow. But a shot from a rifle, a katana strike, a two-handed weapon strike, or a medium-level spell? Hardly.

Overall, things are bad. It's a shame about the poison, and the initiative too. It doesn't quite make sense to attack someone who has already moved in a round when there's a target with an unspent turn.
Is specialization definitely needed to exploit the religion bonuses?

When I asked, Revan replied that it was needed. Of course, I was only asking about the Sylvan branch, but other religions also have talent trees (if they exist) designed in a similar way.

It's a pity to waste poison.

It's a pity for the Sylvan faction.

If you're going to redo the build, I would build something more stable, in your place. You have low damage output and you're hoping to kill opponents with an ability that will only work in 28-29% of cases.

Yes, it is...
In your place, I would at least give up the scout, Uran. We already have one, and you need something that will make you a bit more durable. Although, what exactly... Well, and you need endurance.
I would do it like this: -scout -onslaught -god of death
+ death evasion and either charge (then shift some points from agility to endurance), or paralyzing spear (then leave agility as is).
Perception should be partially shifted to endurance in any case.
Something like that. Otherwise, I have doubts about 18% instant kill, you won't live long enough to get to that... Although, decapitation should be kept, yes.

Ment, decapitation will only happen once per battle and might not even trigger. A different build is needed here. The battering ram is also used with heavy armor and requires the skill to wear it, so it's also out.

In general, Uran, if you want to rely on the "God of Death" and have an effective combat character, you should take the one-handed weapon branch. And ideally, also either be a follower of Ormhild (+2 melee attacks from the skill and ignoring enemy parrying with the passive from worship) or learn the "Fanaticism" style from the "Paladin" talent branch. But this will require some creativity in terms of backstory (although, an Assar worshipping Ninsharra is also not a common sight).

The ram is also heavily armored and requires the skill to wear it, so it should be scrapped as well.

Sorry, I messed up.

The execution ability will only be usable once per battle and might not even trigger.

Of course, but it depends on what Uranus wants. In duels, it would be very good. Although, maybe it's better to scrap this too... At least because he also needs strength, otherwise he won't meet the requirements for his half-experience and will receive penalties!

Here's something else I wanted to ask... Uran, are you sure that the Assyrians are long-lived and slow to mature? I don't remember that information, to be honest, especially the latter part.

Writers, you've got a long way to go before you can claim a spot in the TARDIS; you'll have to rewrite your application to avoid looking like a fool with just three lines. You'd be better off writing stories for a festival.

Ment, they live for about 400 years. Kosha, Hugen's quest in Erathia was a whole paragraph long. And it wasn't even a very informative paragraph. In your place, I wouldn't worry about the quest being too short.

Ment, they live for about 400 years.

Okay, they are long-lived. But how long does it take them to mature?

I don't know (or don't remember) that particular detail, which is why I didn't answer about it.

My character is decent; he uses the "Desperation" skill.
