Pathfinder Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition - now with turn-based combat

[Pink Eye]

Unfair also boosts the stats of enemies. Which means, they hit harder, and can take more hits.

Hm, I want to test this. And not, not like one "tester" here - I will just write down inspection data on Hard and Unfair.

Thank you for the information.

You're cute sometimes, you know.

Thank you for the information.

You could just open the difficulty settings a look at the differences between Hard and Unfair.

Hard has:
Enemy stats adjustment: somewhat thougher enemies
Damage to party: 1.0
Enemy difficulty: strengthened (enemies' abilities are increased by 4 and their attack bonus and AC are increased by 2)

While Insane has:
Enemy stats adjustment: moderately tougher enemies
Damage to party: 2.0
Enemy difficulty: insane (enemies' abilities are increased by 8 and their attack bonus and AC are increased by 4)

Enemy stats adjustment: somewhat thougher enemies

Enemy stats adjustment: moderately tougher enemies

Those are very nice, quantitative measures.

AC and attack boni are sginificant, though.

Sorry, I thought you were only interested in enemies' stats adjustment, since that's what the ongoing discussion was about.

You can find all the information you need here:

“Somewhat tougher enemies” increases enemy attack and AC by 2. The default option for challenging and hard mode. It is kind of separate from other settings here, and we intend to move this setting into “Enemy difficulty" instead.
“Moderately tougher enemies” increases the DCs of saving throws of enemy abilities by 2 and DCs of skill checks by 4. The default setting for the unfair mode.

I feel like trying Pf:Km again soon, probably when the DLC's are in promotion or something.
What mods (asides from TB) are recommended?

If you heavily rely on buffs, there's Buff Bot, which lets you execute your buffing routine with a single click.

They were going for the double counting record. We're going to give the enemies higher stats, AB, chance to hit, accuracy, and Thac0! Combat log says +4 from Difficulty for both Unfair and Hard, so who the fuck knows what they ended up doing. Pretty sure the people they had doing bugfixes and updates never played Pathfinder, let alone P:K.

I wish I can force them to play early Unfair Iron Man.

How much UMD do you need to use a Wand of Lead Blades? Is it static DC of 20?

I changed all my melee builds to 2-handers. RIP two-weapon fighting

Pretty sure Wand of Mage Armor is 21. Not that big of a deal for buffs other than convenience since you only burn a charge when you succeed.

DEX-based melee is almost always better TWF or one-handed. The double-counting on Enlarge effects is what makes Two-handed so good with STR-based. They all work well depending on the build.

As little as you have the patience for if you buff before combat... something like 5 would do. Maybe 7-10 for convenience?

And congrats on switching to the Might side!

 

[Haplo]

The Hidden Feats at the heart of Haplo's ridonkulous numbers are Perfect Strike and Perfect Crit, Sword Saint exclusives. He'll have 2.5x whatever anyone else can put together.

Hm, true. And they are resource limited. Though you can at least leave Perfect Critical on most of the time, it doesn't eat trough the Arcane Pool quite as rapidly.
Then you get smaller numbers:

That's weird because my dude had like 13 UMD or something and he couldn't use the wand.

That's weird. Maybe some mod? I was definitely using Lead Blades with less (like 7 I think).

 

[rashiakas]

DC is 20, yes.

 

[mediocrepoet]

UMD gets rolled each time, so you can fail to use it even when it's in your quickbar. Unless you mean you can't even equip it.

 

[Yosharian]

I equipped it ok but its greyed out

Face me! FACE THE NEW LORD OF MURDER!

I wasn't kidding when I said monks can solo the Stag Lord. But no one believed me on Steam. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW! HAA! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!

I think my favourite part of your monk video is how he's basically a sickly, inbred mongoloid (base con, int, wis scores).

Other than that, I'm not sure if it's just because it was a demonstration video, but it was weird that you were using cure moderate consumables for like 3-5hp of damage, instead of your giant stack of cure lights.

>I think my favourite part of your monk video is how he's basically a sickly, inbred mongoloid
It's a challenge build for hard. Unfair Iron Man burned me out of Unfair. So I am doing a hard playthrough. I've been doing all kinds of things to spice up my hard playthrough. Because hard is too easy for me, unfortunately.

>but it was weird that you were using cure moderate consumables for like 3-5hp of damage
I thought moderate potions healed for more than light potions? Maybe I just got bad rolls on the heals?

They do, but you were using them when your guy was only down 3-5hp. They won't take you over max.
