I respect this streamer. Didn't even know you could stack all the Blade Barriers like this. I wonder if you could put Grease on top of it. Looks so fun.

I double blade barriered the dragon in kingmaker after he casted all that protection spells. He played too dirty. Otherwise it's horrible cheese. But my characters survived Polar midnight longer than he lasted after double blade barrier.

 

[Yosharian]

Oh snap, so if you already have weapon training from another class you only have to dip 1 into Sohei?

That is fucking interesting...

 

[Yosharian]

I've learned a fun fact about Sohei Flurry. If you have Weapon Training from Fighter levels, you can flurry with any weapon you have Training in. So essentially a 1 level dip in Sohei gives Fighter multiclasses an extra Full-BAB attack (and extra feat + other monk goodies, such as Wis-to-AC).

Yeah but what about that annoying level 1 animal companion

 

[Thonius]

So, I'm in demon city. I totally don't get all the hate about rotating camera/shifts in city. Also, it gives strong arabic nights vibes, which is nice I don't feel like that setting is overused.

 

[Sharpedge]

I respect this streamer. Didn't even know you could stack all the Blade Barriers like this. I wonder if you could put Grease on top of it. Looks so fun.

One of the many cheese strategies. Here is another.

There is a cleaner way to do this 1 as well, there is a spot further back where only 1 or 2 ghosts can reach you.

 

[Yosharian]

I don't see how you're not gonna be followed around by a fucking useless level 1 pet all the time, unless you remove it using Toy Box.

And what is the advantage of Fighter over just continuing in Sohei anyway, once you hit 11th level you get another attack so...

 

[Thonius]

Also, Vhane gets dialog(few oneliners) with drum rolll Minagho. Also due to immunities and lich aura, they are kind of strong IDk. Also killing camelia and replacing her with silent Staunton feels way better than using merc.

 

[Haplo]

Well, it doesn't have to stay level 1 if you take Boon Companion and other classes with full AC progression.
But if you take those 5 fighter levels, it will always be 1 level behind, I guess (and worse if you take more fighter levels).

 

[Haplo]

I don't see how you're not gonna be followed around by a fucking useless level 1 pet all the time, unless you remove it using Toy Box.

Better weapon selection, more bonus feats, Weapon Spec (which isn't bad with Mythic), Mutagen, possibly eventually Discovery feats, such as Wings.... also if you keep at the clas (but your companion would suck), the Weapon Training bonuses would become significant (Sohei is always stuck at +1).

 

[Yosharian]

So it's just weird. We need an option to 'refuse' the animal companion.

 

[axedice]

Improved enduring spells has ruined me and I don't think I can ever play a crpg without it anymore.



Alchemist with infusion was already godly, now with the permanent buffs I just had to have one so I specced wenduag to incense synthesiser. For the rest of the buffs I was using both ember and daeran, but they felt a bit redundant so I specced daeran to mystic theurge with witch levels to get prot. luck and fortune.

I deal so much damage with trickster crit vital strike legendary proportions fauchard that I don't need ascendant elemental damage. There's also this artifact ring that turns all your damage to force, so swarms shadows etc are no problem either.

Nenio is already godly with items, camelia is best tanku with 5 levels of mutation warrior dip, and for my last spot I'm using Seelah for mark of justice. Though I'm not happy with her shield bash build, she's really weak compared to regill or greybor.

Rest of the game besides build porn is good too. Not as good as kingmaker in writing and story departments , probably due to lack of Avellone, but still good. There is this inconsistency in the quality of writing, which sometimes bother me but then I get my fix by critting 4 mythic demons in a row with improved cleaving finish for 600 damage and forget all about the shortcomings of the game.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Disorienting Injury seems to not be scaling from -2 to attack rolls to -4 on level 10. On this screenshot Woljif is lvl10, but the penalty on this Voracious Drake is only -2. The other drake, which is unaffected by Disorienting Injury, has attack bonuses of +18 and +12 respectively.

 

[Yosharian]

So apparently Toy Box has the option to remove animal companions using the options under 'Party & Pets', I haven't tested it but this should allow Fighters to dip Sohei and remove that pesky level 1 animal companion

 

[mediocrepoet]

You could always use it for the extra carrying capacity and to charge with that double damage charge feat. It'll die as soon as anything looks at it, but you only need it for the first round anyway.

 

[Sergiu64]

Feels like there are a lot of other ways to get extra attacks - so picking up Sohei just for that flurry with weapons doesn't seem that great.

 

[Mauman]

Of course (and this might seem a bit messed up, but reminder it's a game) if you don't want to use toybox you can simply just kill it after every rest.

While you can't use basic attack on allies at will, you can still use special attacks at will on them (charge, vital strike, cleave, etc...).

Feels like there are a lot of other ways to get extra attacks - so picking up Sohei just for that flurry with weapons doesn't seem that great.

It's good because it stacks with everything (many ways to get extra attacks don't stack). It can be a way to get extra attacks with weapons that normally don't get extra attacks (you can't TWF a glaive for instance). The attack you get is at your MAX AB and doesn't have any maluses (unlike TWF, rapid shot, etc...)

That is not what I asked...

Because of +6 to strength? Because +4 to natural armor? Because I wanted to see if I could get a dog the ability to pounce (I can)? Because it's funny? Because I could? Because I wanted to see just how badly I could make the game logic in this game cry delicious salty tears?

Take your pick?

 

[Yosharian]

So apparently Scrolls of Atonement no longer reset your alignment to what it was at character creation once you reach Mythic rank 3, instead they start resetting it to the alignment of your chosen path.

And Smite Evil is gated by alignment.

I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this.

Toy Box has an option to fix it though because apparently Owlcat intended Mythic characters to be able to bypass such restrictions.

They just forgot to give Smite Evil the bypass tag.

Dev diaries forever:

Why cannot you sleep anywhere and anytime at the Worldwound? How can you avoid corruption? How do the resting and crafting systems work? How did we design these systems and why have we made all these decisions during the game development?
Watch our new Developer diary to find out! Yulia Chernenko, Lead Game Designer at Owlcat Games will tell you all the details.

[The_Mask]

I like the subliminal message from Yuliya: a simple girl on the T-shirt - a scythe in the background.

*gulps audibly*

I see Russian women are not that much different from Romanian ones. Fucking scary as fuck.




But plushie is plush. <3

 

[LannTheStupid]

I like the subliminal message from Yuliya: a simple girl on the T-shirt - a scythe in the background.

She said on their stream with Paizo that Jaethal is her favourite character in Kingmaker. Exquisite taste.

Urgathoa be praised.

 

[AwesomeButton]

She has no orange hair and earrings on her nostrils, so she can't be a real game developer, but nice try, FSB!

 

[Mortmal]

Could also just spam deadly earth, same result ,easier than stacking blades . It's possible to do it ad nauseam with a dark elementalist as you will likely have enough dead HD around to not even have to rest once. Dumb game require dumb strategies, absurd stat blocks require cheese .

 

[LannTheStupid]

On the other note: no hotfix today. Yet.

This is either OK or very, very bad.
