Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-DLC Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Fedora Master]

An encounter with two Flame Strike traps that are bugged so you can't see the red outline with the switches to disable em on the other end of the corridor, a bunch of babaus as body blockers and a Vrock Votary to cast more Flame Strike and Blade Barriers.
I was using both Resist and Protection, too, but as you can see it doesn't help.

 

[FriendlyMerchant]

I'm not sure why lump everything about Gish into Prestige classes or Magus. I want a Hexblade. Not a Magus archetype. I want a non-good, Full BAB, arcane paladin with the curse abilities, familiar, and four spell levels like in 3.5 but with the armor restrictions fixed.

It's a shame that the closest thing in this ruleset is Steelblood Bloodrager.

 

[Fedora Master]

See it? No you don't.

 

[Jackpot]

Man, I was joking before but I finally got to playful darkness and am failing hard.
I'm too stubborn to just move on but too dumb to actually beat it.

What spells even fucking do attribute damage? None that I took at least.
I've tried all the positive energy damage I can, I can take maybe like 200 HP off him, but that doesn't even dent his health bar.
The only reason I can even last a few rounds is because Seelah has the Mythic feat where she won't die for a few rounds per day.

As a practical workaround until it gets fixed, just use dimension door.

 

[Ontopoly]

Anyone use the cleaner mod? Did it make any significant changes? My load times and save times are getting a lot longer, unbearably so. The load times in the beginning were quick and now every time I quick save it all pauses for a couple seconds. My pc is shit so that's obviously the problem but would the mod make a significant enough change? My save files in the beginning of my chapter 4 playthrough are about 15 MB.

I did it by trail and error. The correct side is the left of the hallway.
Weirdly enough I don't remember this part from the last time I did Drezen, but maybe I just moved in from the other end.

How to do you even play this game without ssd when every 5 steps you get loading screen

 

[Fedora Master]

I keep my saves to ~5 and don't notice any issues. 2 manual saves for critical situations and 2 or 3 quicksaves.

e: TB is a fucking pathfinding nightmare and worst of all you end up losing your entire turn and cant even cancel the broken move order.

 

[Ramnozack]

So I picked Azata path and now I have some kind of gerbil following me around. How do I make this thing go away? Rat traps?

It’s same as with kingmaker, cleaner mod is a must have to prevent save file bloat.

So for any fellow Demon Path choosers, at the end of Chapter 4, did you

Spoiler

Stick with Nocticula or decide to betray her and side with Baphomet instead? The 43 Will check is not an issue, but I'm wondering what gameplay impact the choice actually has.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Based Regill.

Brown fur transmuter and Skald, buffers of heavens. They even could make

Stauton

viable with their abilities.
Thinking to roll melee invulnerable rager lich and hire those two as mercs. I'm pretty sure I can "solo" every counter with right feat setup.
This game is truly a build porn game and I'm loving it.

My go-to solution for now is to make Seelah into the Skald. She is perfectly statted for one, and 1 lvl of the paladin is not exactly wasted since I plan to get the second much later for Divine Grace.

You sure you can't stack enough AB?

 

[Fedora Master]

Even the bosses use monk dips. That's telling.

110 hours later finished Drezen, 10 hours in Drezen itself

Wow, thought my 70 hours to finish Act 2 was long.

 

[Shadenuat]

Gaah, the rp stuff around the Azata path is pure Tumblr faggotry. I really wanted that zippy magic but I didn't realize it would come with such a heavy price tag. I feel my character is soiled now

afaik azata can be switched from into other paths just like aeon and some others can later.

OK, but ask the average person if they want to be Frodo and/or Sam.

Average no. Experienced player would gladly play kind hearted Sam.
Who, btw, was aside from Aragorn, the only one to get waifu in the end.

how to actually select companions.
the guide.

Spoiler

a quick list, very important for LICH HEADPATS playthrough

very quick

TOP TIER
Regill: respects Ember and takes what she says seriously.
Daeran: seems to be amused enough with her.

UNDEAD TIER (3 companions)
theyre already dead. very good.

SKELETON TIER (tolerable)
Sosiel: first says she has no place in party. then apoligizes for not giving her home.
still zombie tier because of Toughness and Medium Armor. give him Cleave or something??

NOT SURE TIER
Aru: couldnt trigger dialogue with her.
Dwarf: couldnt trigger dialogue but he has family and goes around watching his ex wife and daughter in house windows. better to turn into Skeleton to be sure.
Nenio: nothing there but, she s sperg retarded probably wouldn't steal headpats.

ZOMBIE TIER
Seelah: generally is annoyed with Ember
Wenduag: couldnt trigger dialogue but she is Wenduag
Woljif: thrown stones at Ember when she was little
Lann: says Lann things

RATFOOD DIER
Camelia: she is Camelia.

[Even the bosses use monk dips

you don't need monk to get crane, just some feats afaik.
i was thinking about dumb punch-fighter build.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

No spirit of a dragon here, buddy.

 

[Cryomancer]

HOw you guys spend 70 hours in two chapters? I completed the game in 54 hours... Played in RtWP mode with a small parfty. Was casting tier 8 magic in chapter 2(merging spellbooks). While in kangmaker, in my first run, I ended in lv 16.

I take my time. Just returned to Drezen after finishing with the Abyss.

(It should be noted that I did go a few times through the prologue and first chapter until I finally settled on a character tho.)

 

[Volourn]

Turn based combat takes longer. I'm at nearly 70 hours at the clock though I'd probably take 10-15 hours off due to reloads and A LOT of reading. I'm not quite finished Drezen as I just passed the balor 'fight'.

 

[Ontopoly]

Almost 100 hours and in mid chapter 4. Only spent 7 hours outside of this playthrough. Do you do every quest and location you get? Rtwp btw
