Just a few questions about what skills/stats I should have before trying things.


What should I have before I try to raid anthills without luring them?

Boars.
Here's something I want to do.
How long does it take to get one to running point with a sling from a boat, with level 1 mm?
When it runs, what sort of UAC/defense stats should I have to not worry about it killing me?

EDIT: Oh, and foxes.

8-10 Unarmed

Boars. Here's something I want to do. How long does it take to get one to running point with a sling from a boat, with level 1 mm?

Forever. I'm not even sure you can aim faster than it lowers your accuracy when it twitches. Buy up to 8-10 Marksmanship.

When it runs, what sort of UAC/defense stats should I have to not worry about it killing me?

0. You have no defensive weight when moving away from combat. It will not turn around and kill you.

EDIT: Oh, and foxes.

25 Unarmed.

All correct abouts except.

Unless it runs into a deer. Then you're fucked.

It will still be passive. Animals only switch to offensive again when they break combat and re-engage it. Boars are slow enough that they should never break combat with you. So, while it'll turn around and face you, it will not attack.

Easy enough.
Thanks for the straight forward answers.
