    Oh yeah, forgot to comment on the shouting mod.  The only shouting mod I feel like I need for playing this build is maybe... this one?

    Oh, and it's not like I revived her after decades or anything.  She was around for NWN2 last in the video game realm, as far as I remember.  I've really moved on from RPing her in any context, though... nowadays it's usually about her quadruplets and their misadventures.

    This one's a bit of an esoteric question, but how often did you use Sneak with this build?  Even without being perked, I find it really useful for hunting, especially with early game bows.  And there's no denying the usefulness of minor scouting in bandit camps and dungeons!

    It's interesting because Edana and I actually used sneak quite a bit differently. I used it like you're using it, for hunting and scouting and such, but Edana more or less abstained from sneaking. In the end, it didn't end up changin gameplay significantly enough to include as a skill, but it can change the pacing of gameplay. Which is a long way to say that it's up to you! Whatever you think is more fun or natural for Edla is totally fine.

    Interesting... I tried a bit of stealth in Embershard and it did feel kinda off, but that place is easier to blitz through with stealth archery compared to most. I'll stick to sneaking outdoors and not rely on ambush tactics too much with bandits and legionnaires. :D

    Mythic rank!

    I love this build, so detailed and role play orientated.

    I love hunter builds and great job!

     I actually wonder if they'd get on well or if they'd end up... locking horns...?

    A bony finger pointed at me. The storm of ravens changed their flight, and then their form, turning from black to a burning orange as they spontaneously caught fire. I was engulfed. I felt the grim flames lap at my boots and cloak. Such depraved magnificence!

    “As the blessings of nature protect me, Kyne grant me fortitude!”

    The burning blackness was instantly dismissed. In my hands I held a spectral bow, bound to my form. I notched an arrow from the air, as worry encroached across the hagraven’s expression.

    This excerpt from the hag and hagraven entry of Kyne's Challenge is intriguing.  Maybe I should add the bound bow to my playthrough?

    Oh dang, I just remembered this comment. This is a VERY interesting excerpt, Librari. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Huh, so I think you definitely could add Bound Bow. We had stayed away from magic because we thought it might be a slippery slope into shock destruction and we wanted him to feel more salt of the earth. If you wanted to use Conjuration though, I think that could totally work! Just drop Smithing and pick up Bound Dagger too..? Let me know what you decide to do and if that's what you're going to stream. I'd be really interested to see how that plays.
