totem druid hard/soft bonuses

Post by godhand- » Thu Dec 14, 2017 8:21 am

Hi,

Im unsure of the difference between hard/soft bonus of totem druids?

more specifically examples:
if i went spider, is a hard bonus the same as having +2 int gift on my character, thus giving me +1 skill point per level at levelup?? - so i could then get a +12 intelligence applied on top?
If i went bear, is a soft bonus the equivalent of having a potion of bulls strength applied, in that the stat goes green and is 'magically buffed'?

You've got it correct on both counts.

For the 'soft' physicals, it's really easy to max your +12 bonus with this craftable item, aura of vitality, and maximized stat buffs.

So if you go bear, you end up without much gain, but still have to deal with a net stat loss of -12 in non-polymorphed form.
