Affixing a talisman

[The Total Package]

I currently have armor that is affixed with two talismen, due to talismanic sage. Can I also affix more talisman to any other areas besides my armor so I can use more per combat? So could I have two on my bow, and two on my armor?

No.

So the limit is two? :( I can't affix even one more to my bow?

The feat only applies to a single item at a time.

If you use it for two talismans on your armor, you cannot apply it to a weapon (or, more precisely, it'd no longer apply to your armor and neither talisman already there would function until you removed one).

I have to agree. The Talismanic Sage feat is applied to one item, not to the process of affixing talismans.

So you can only use Talismanic Sage on one item at a time. So your armor only if that is what you choose.

You can choose again freely. Once you use one of the Talismans on your armor, you could take a few minutes and put a second Talisman on your bow by choosing that as your Talismanic Sage item.

But you couldn't have two functioning Talismans on two different items at the same time. Only one item can benefit from having two Talismans. The other item could only have one functioning Talisman. Having two talismans on it would cause neither of them to function as normal.

Is there any point of getting Deeper Dabbler? I could just buy the extra talisman couldn't I rather than spend a feat to make them myself?

Yes. You can skip Deeper Dabbler if you want, or if you can't fit it into your feat list for the build. It will cost you more coin to have those extra talismans every day though.

The same thing can be said of Talisman Dabbler entirely. Same with Thaumaturge Talisman Esoterica. Or even the entire Alchemist class. You can just replace those with an unbounded amount of wealth spent on items.

Not quite, I need to take Talisman Dabbler dedication (for Talismanic Sage) to be able to put two talisman on one piece of equipment, no amount of gold will let me do that correct?

Yes. Also the Alchemist class does more than just give free items every day, in case that wasn't clear too.

But as far as the cost vs value consideration of Deeper Dabbler goes, the benefit of the feat is the extra items each day. If that isn't enough value for you, then skip the feat.
