We love Pillars of Eternity. It's not just a great story-driven RPG, it has a challenging combat system that's rewards strong tactical thinking.
If you've played Baldur's Gate or any of the other Infinity Engine games, you already know where to put a wizard. But for those new to the genre, some questions need answering, like 'what's a disengagement attack, and why should I care?' and 'what do I do when my ranged DPS guy's engaged by a high-DR fighter, and what are all those words I just said?'
We're here to help. In this guide we'll cover essential aspects of combat that will help you survive, including a few mechanics that aren't immediately obvious to newcomers. Pillars of Eternity does a great job of decluttering the old D&D systems that powered Baldur's Gate and its ilk, but it's still relatively complex by modern RPG standards, so let's demystify things a bit, starting with the most important button on the keyboard.

Hi.
I made this mainly for myself but I'm guessing a lot of people want more portraits to choose from for their heroes. The portraits are picked from the internets and slightly edited to be quite similar in style so it doesn't jank you out of the Pillars of Eternity feeling. YMMV of course, and naturally it's mainly humans because those are the most common art portraits found online, but there are quite a few elves and others too.
