Now for the awful truth.
Outside of magic resistance and certain spells that scale off of it, aptitude does not matter in many cases.
Your spells will not fail, your weapons will not blow up in your face. The game lied to you. Troika failed to correctly implement the one thing that set the God damn game apart.
Cannot remember what the full list is, but I know for certain that fire magic is exempt, as are flamethrowers, all technological bows and Bronwyck's gun. Oh, same goes for all buffs. Buffs, the final nail in the coffin.
From a character building standpoint there is no reason why anyone should not be constantly under the effects of two stacks of Strenght of Stone or Agility of Fire. At starting human CON you have enough fatigue regen to maintain them without loss, and that means that you have either +8 str or +8 dex from level 1. Which means that you'll be reaching the broken 20 dex bonus even earlier and can max out combat stats rapidly.
This is ofcourse utterly soulless. And it does just go to show how badly stiched together the systems really are when oversights of this scale made it past the devs.
