[santino27]

People in Discord are saying Steam has just updated the private branch instead of the public one. Probably gonna few more hours wait before it appears on publick.

Yep, downloading now.

*waits patiently*

Also, 4Can was right and Wenduag is the 11 th companion

Wendaug is not 11th companion - there's another yet to be revealed (but I won't say anymore)

EDIT: nm you guys already know who it is (Nenio)

 

[gurugeorge]

Is the Scroll Master different from the Scroll Savant?

 

[Roguey]

You like, Codex?

Extremely kawaii.

 

[Desiderius]

My God they’re trying to cram more classes in here than CotW.

 

[Shinros]

My God they’re trying to cram more classes in here than CotW.

Indeed, working through the content as a fighter and going to prestige class into a Hellknight. Planning to test the Aeon again. To be truthful, I think I'm going to have trouble picking a main when the game releases considering the wealth of choices.

 

[InternalRevenue]

Any kind soul with alpha access have the gumption to list the new archetypes?

 

[Desiderius]

Both Wandering Marksman and Colluding Scoundrel for Hunter. Forester (petless Hunter) gets Terrain Mastery which gives you Favored Enemy Bonus vs everything on your Favored Terrain, which is kind of nuts. Also Urban and Divine Hunter.

 

[Desiderius]

Martyr Pal has Bard Songs. Five Pal archetypes (and Pals get mounts), five Cavalier archetypes too.

 

[Desiderius]

Five Barb Archetypes. Looks like they’re shooting for five each. Five Bards (Tranquil Whisperer), five Bloodragers, five Clerics (Devilbane and Angelfire), Five Inq, Five Kin, Five Magi, Five Monks, Five Oracles (Enlightened Philosopher), Five Rangers (Demonslayer), Five Rogues (Sylvan Trickster and Underground Chemist), Five Skalds, Six Warpriests.

You can now right click on prestige classes to see what they do.

 

[santino27]

I think during the KS they'd said they were going for 5 archetypes per. And then the stretch goal achieved made it 6:

For Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, we had already decided to increase the number of archetypes to five per class. But now, with your incredible support, we may have an opportunity to increase this number even more, to six archetypes!

[InD_ImaginE]

Some classes are going to have 7 due to race specific archetype (like Dwarven Paladin got its own archetype for example).

 

[gurugeorge]

More reports please!

 

[Cyberarmy]

Damn I was thinking to play Path of Exile but just saw the second alpha is on.

Owlcat is behaving like Warhammer Dwarf. They made more classes than us ? GRUUUUUDGEEEEEE

 

[Lacrymas]

Too bad some/most of these subclasses are terrible and pointless. That's an inevitable outcome of Pathfinder's class design philosophy, though.

Paladin 20.

Once Owlcat is fed up with useful official content, they might start adding funny 3rd party stuff like the piper, who starves and dies if you stop him from singing or listening to music:

• Soul of Music: Music is part of a piper’s sustenance as surely as food, sleep and air. A piper must have music. Being prevented from performing or listening to music has the same effects as starvation.

Not a fan of paladins. Why not just take an extra cleric, give it some armor, and call it a paladin?

There already is such a Cleric - the Crusader.

Because Pathfinder's Paladin has a lot of unique features that make for completely different playstyles from a mere Cleric.

Just three class features are enough to justify the addition of a Paladin to your group:
- he adds Charisma to all saving throws, making him incredibly resilient;
- Smite Evil completely wrecks encounters against evil bosses or a single strong enemy: it adds your Charisma to all attack rolls and your level to damage rolls, it adds your Charisma to your AC, and it lets you completely ignore damage reduction (all that for the entire encounter);
- Divine Bond allows you to play with any weapon you want (and in WotR will probably allow you to have some sort of animal companion).

On top of that, the class is full of more "minor" features, but these three are enough to make the character amazing.

Sure, but clerics are better and walk around talking about gods just the same.

Your title is very accurate my lord.

"Mere" Cleric.
