Pathfinder Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Edition - RTwP incline from Owlcat Games

Your friends are casuals. Kingdom management is glorious.

And fuck the Smilodon. I'll never use it as a pet. I'd rather pick the Centipede because I don't like groupthink.

 

There is nothing possibly about this guy...

 

There's an option to not only play with it on easy but also with it automatically managed for you. Your friends might just be retarded.

 

Rewarded for putting this game off with enhanced edition. Rewarded for putting off PoE2 with turn-based mode. Why the fuck ever play something day one I guess.

 

These are not iterative attacks from what I understand. More like... growth/level upgrade.

 

It should be fairly easy to test with high level Ekundayo. But I doubt there is something like this in the game.

 

Dog and wolf both get 2 iteratives at 6 and 11 bab. All of them are bites so it gets 3 trip attempts at max level when leopard has only one. If I remember correctly, dog's bite also treated as 2-handed weapons with 1.5 str bonus to damage.

Thanks to higher str and size they are also ~3-4 CMB ahead of leopard. When kitty's best advantages are being small and fast.

I usually take dog (wolf) when I want Trip and smilodon when I want DPS and shared Team Feats on Sacred Huntmaster. Everything else is kinda flavor.

 

Arent the swordlords already ingame?!?!

 

Since dog's and wolf's trip are based on hitting enemies, their 2nd and especially 3rd attack are not reliable to trip anyone. Also BAB goes into CMB calculations and trips with iterative attacks should also get the same penalty.
Leopard's 3 attacks and Smilodon's 5 attacks don't have any attack penalties.

 

Kensai, swordsaint, take your pick.

 

If you enjoy making your own party members why not,myself and most people here i think prefer vanilla npcs for the added difficulty(most npcs thougj are really good in their roles).

 

The changes in the beta look excellent and I really respect Owlcat for continuously working on the game instead of dropping it after a couple of patches. The "Mixed" review on Steam is undeserved but casuals gonna casual.

 

Still, it's another attempt and you may roll much higher this time. So not a total waste, particularly the 2nd.

 

Aldori Defenders are in. A Fighter Archetype focused on Dueling Swords.

Now they are introducing Aldori Swordlords - a duelist style Prestige Class with some intimidation tricks.

 

Slayer works nicely with archer build - 2 Eldritch Archer/4 Thug/14 Slayer is my current run (I was thinking about 4 Thug/16 Slayer too), but I have a hard time trying to fit Aldori Swordlord somewhere. It has decent 1st level ability fort DEX to damage for Dueling Sword, but everything else is meh. Main feature is better debuff for Dazzling Display (but if I understood correctly you need to score a crit for it), some Intimidation bonuses, bit of situational AC.

I have seen some interesting changes in first chapter already (Spoilers!).

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

1) I have found 3 new locations. 2 are small, but third one is pretty big and I'd score difficulty even above Ratnook Hill. Now I am a bit paranoid about my perception and wasting all Linzi's feats on it.
2) Some locations are moved or changed places, more difficult encounters now farther from Oleg's post.
3) Spider Lair for Bokken quest got complete redesign. It is five time bigger now and you do not need to fight swarms to get berries. But fights after are even nastier than old version (and berries turn sour on timer so rest is limited) and I see even more potential butthurt in comparison. I suspect some elegant trolling from Owlcat here.
4) Game breaking bug at Stag Lord fort. I hope for a patch or workaround today.

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention new +1 or Masterwork weapons everywhere for missing weapon types, mostly exotics. I have found a Dart!

 

oooo yea from the olden tymes i much desired to play swasbucklers! aldori defenders rock,with one lvl of monk and you can tank and dish out some damage.
lets hope this time if you are an aldori swordlord jamandi will take notice.

 

Are there even any decent Darts for end-game? I don't remember seeing any

 

No, I just like to have fun with a game, not copy what everyone else is doing. I think it's dumb if everyone uses the same pet, where's the fun in that? I also don't min/max or follow build guides for the same reason. Level up.

 

I'm too cool to math.

 

Math is boring in a CRPG if every outcome ends up the same - same pets, same feats, same everything. Fuck that. I'd rather wing it and just have fun taking things I find cool.

 

I was just poking fun. I understand not wanting to pick what everyone else picks, I do it too sometimes.

But the Smilodon is so much more powerful than the other companions that it's absurd. This isn't like the Smilodon is a little bit better than the others, it's like it's literally 5x more powerful than some of them.

 

my sylvan sorcerer picked a bear because bears are cool

 

Even more reason not to use it IMO. If it's that overpowered I'd probably avoid it anyway since I like challenge and don't want a cakewalk through the game.
