Does anyone actually use block?

It is all the health combined which creates your Meaty Exterior. If you add Speed you will look slimmer.

ok here is my version of it from expirience; if you max out or pick a few ranks in the skill section first your char doesn't look all the meaty. My char has currently maxed out guile, willpower, multi strike, assassins rush, slowtime, lighting, physique and health. This is how he looks:

Physique should make the character taller. I up my Speed and Physique and he is tall and thin. Plus, the little animation in the upgrading menu also shows the guy lifting a rock turning taller.

I'm sorry I was in a rush last post and made a mistake.

For every point put into any of the 3 Strength fields, your character will appear wider/meatier.

For every point put into any of the 3 Skill fields, your character will appear thinner/ taller.

For every point put into a magic field, your character will slowly gain glowing palms and blue will tattoos.

So no, Physique does not make you taller.

[Xeon]

hmmm

Physique = bigger arms and legs
Health generally larger
Toughness = wider
guile = a little taller
speed = insane height boost

I was trying to make one Full Physique to make he looks like a walking brick wall lolz, so I started, only putting physique and like 2 levels of guile (to rush gold).

Was doing good, killed Twinblade without any problem (more speed would help a lot, but I didn't spend any xp on speed), he was growing very well, a little fatty (because of beer and meat) but ok

I gave up full physique when I had to do The Arena with no speed and no spells, very easy at the beginning, but that round when it comes 2 Rock Trolls, they treated me like a little target for those huge stones, Whisper was stopped doing NOTHING, I couldn't get up, the both throwing stones at me. Then I changed to a light weapon hoping that would give me better movements, so like magic Whisper started to attack, one of the trolls targeting her and the other targeting me, from there I could win ! I though that scorpion would be more difficult, but it was quite easy to kill without speed and spells.

But no more full physique for me, when I saw that 2 trolls f***ing me I though about the rest of the game being slow and without spells lolz.

Maybe it's difficult to play a full ninja or a full mage, but it's far difficult being full warrior, you must be very skilled with your mouse and the middle click without "space" on enemies once they come like water on a river...

I'll abandon this one and start a full mage, could be cool =P (with some guile to rush gold of course)

[Xeon]

Full Ranger/Assassin was pretty easy (only spending exp. in the skill area)
Full Mage was tough in the start (only spending exp. in the will area
Full Warrior was tough all along, you spend most of your time laying on the ground.

the last time I played I put most of my exp points in to will, and I never got the blue tattoos

edit. maybe it's because I was a really evil nasty bugger?!?

maybe thats it but the whole exp changes your appereance tends to bug a bit, my last char didn't get any bigger untill I spend two points in physique at the same time

[nateweis]

well in my fable experience i've learned that a lot of tougher enemies will get through your block anyway and hit you and you'll still take damage so my advice is keep attacking,screw block

[Joey.nsz]

Assasin's Rush + Physical Shield >>>> block

no block for me

[Amman]

Ditto Joey.nsz.
I've done a character with-
Physique maxxed
Speed maxxed
Assassin's Rush maxxed
Physical Shield maxxed
All you'll ever need; period.
Plus on a side note my character is 20 years old WITHOUT cheating, (as such)
just a hell of alot of reloads in the chapel and temple.
I haven't been to the torture chamber yet though, so chuck on a few more years for good measure. ;P

*just Physical traits... and perhaps Berserk thrown in for the awesomeness factor.

I have played full warrior but never used block on him, I was hooked up with Health potions.

[Jack of Names]

I've never used block.

i think being a witchhunter or a battle mage is the most fun in the game just because you are not restrained to one attribute.
