Talk:Blades of Light and Shadow, Book 1 Choices/@comment-44997839-20200220171721/@comment-37915141-20200220191042

Have you bought the 1st lore tablet and the Gauntlet of Pain? You need that 2 for the max, they're 15+20=35 diamonds.

Which skills do you have? You should have Bows, Seduction, Medicine, and Beastmaster (the 5th one doesn't matter as of now but maybe Brawling is a good choice so you can use the Gauntlet of Pain).

You should also get the choice correct where you're running from the shadow hounds in Chapter 2 or you'll get injured and lose out on XP from the last choice in Chapter 5 (unless you went with Mal in Chapter 2 and got the Healing Salve).
