Overview: (22)

Learn about Viconia's unique strengths and weaknesses in Sword of the Sea, focusing on her high Dexterity, magic resistance, and low Hit Points. Get her early!

Alright, let's talk about Viconia. She's a character with a really high Dexterity, which is great for dodging attacks, but her Constitution is pretty low. You know how it is – you can't have everything!

The good news is her Armor Class is usually high enough to keep her safe from most physical hits. And for spells? Well, she's naturally 50% magic resistant. That sounds awesome, right? Unfortunately, the folks at Bioware thought this was a bit too powerful, so they made her Magic Resistance a special kind. It blocks *all* spells, whether they're friendly or hostile, except for those cast by Viconia herself on herself. It's a bit of a bummer in this game, making her a liability sometimes, though thankfully it works normally in the sequel, only blocking hostile magic.

Her Strength isn't much to brag about, but she can still function as a secondary warrior because she's so good defensively. Plus, she's a Cleric, and a really good one at that! Did I mention she's a sequel character too? What more could you want?

Now, here's the catch: she's one of those characters who is really sensitive to Hit Points, so you absolutely need to recruit her early. As soon as you can get her, at level two, she'll already be down four Hit Points. And as a Cleric with a poor Constitution, she just doesn't have the Hit Points to spare. By level four, she might only have 18 out of the possible 32 Hit Points a Cleric her level should have. And by level six, she's looking at only 27 out of 48 Hit Points. Ouch. Definitely something to keep in mind when you're building your party!
