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

The game starting going crazy, with animals companions not attacking or can't reach enemies (spaces are too tight), playing rtwp.

I've had the same problem and generally avoid animal companions because of it, or use one that stays small/medium like a leopard. There's an option to turn off path blocking for allies only in toybox which solves the issue, it's technically cheating but it's nice for parties with lots of melee.

This is not "technically" cheating. This is one of the most obvious cheats in a single player game.

You put additional bodies on the battlefield so they can soak crits, damage, and distract enemies. Simultaneously, you make those same bodies immaterial for the needs of your party.

Now I am starting to understand how you have done 12 playthroughs in 1.5 months after the release. Please, continue to share; cheating is fascinating.

I made a save right before the two mythic path choices I only did five playthroughs of act 1 to 5

 

[LannTheStupid]

I made a save right before the two mythic path choices I only did four playthroughs of act 1 to 5

Now I am even more glad to know that your claim is, by itself, a cheat.

Thank you very much. Keep up the good work.

No problem buddy, stay mad about people having fun playing games

So do you keep your azata or aeon powers when you go devil? I'm reading conflicting reports.

Yes, you do.

But the change that allows the rider to full attack after movement means that I'm never dismounting.

And charging works OK for you even in tight spaces?

Well, obviously charging in tight spaces is tricky. But sometimes still possible. At least I'm not loosing rounds anymore. Quite the opposite: movement + melee full attack is awesome action economy.

This is quite compelling. I think I will make my Good hero a rider - when it comes to that playthrough. Thanks for sharing!

And even in tight spaces, charging often works as combat opener.
The downside is that in enemy groups, priority targets are rarely in front...

Finished the game yesterday, made the azata ending and secret ending. I enjoyed more the Azata ending.

Now I started a new game with a Oracle Angel, but the game don't inform much, so I'm looking the guides of the InEffct. I'm playing in the core, so I'm following too the selah paladin guide. And drovier druid for Lann. Only these 3 are 3 animals companions.

The game starting going crazy, with animals companions not attacking or can't reach enemies (spaces are too tight), playing rtwp.

Now I'm thinking in respec everyone to get rid of it. Except Lann because reasons.

But here is a question, animal companion is really worth it? Make so much difference?

So many doubts, my azata arcane trickster was so easy to build.

Thanks for the help guys.

They can make quite a difference, but are by no means necessary. Currently I really love the fact that if you mount one, you can full attack after movement. And of course, largely ignore defenses on the rider.
But due to space constraints I rolled back my Lann's large triceratops to a medium raptor. If you're not gonna ride them, I guess medium sized is more practical.

In fact, small sized races could be nice for riders. I wouldn't pick Cavalier of the Paw, though. Loosing the Cavalier Order sounds bad. And personally I prefer Kitsunes due to Kitsune Pounce (which is now less important with the move+attack change - but still, Spirited Charge is sweet!).

 

[Yosharian]

Fuck Kitsune Pounce, it's all about abusing that shirt that gives human-polymorphed Kitsune +4 AB/DMG

 

[Haplo]

Interesting. Would stack nicely with Master Shapeshifter Mythic Ability for +4 to Str, Dex and Con. But doesn't it only work with natural attacks? The description mentions "attack and damage rolls made with limbs"?

Nope lol. It just works if you are under a poly effect like DKIII or Kitsune human form.

This and the poly belt are the reason I'm using Nenio for my BFT gish instead of Arue.

Shroud of the Eternal Hunger (+4 Untyped* bonus to AB/DMG while under polymorph)
Lizard Tail (+3 Morale to AC while under polymorph, +8 Circumstance to AC first round)

 

[Haplo]

"enhancement bonus". Sounds like it shouldn't stack with weapon enchantments and Greater Magic Weapon. Oh well.

 

[Nerevar]

Kitsune could be pretty strong. Might do some testing.

 

[havox]

Ambush on your camp while you're at the keep, OUCH! I was at disadvantage there since I killed Wenduag and Camelia.

K. reborn would have been completely unwinnable for my B-team, thankfully a funny bug spawned my lightning-immune MC on the far side of the map under AI control so all they had to do was run around like headless chickens getting stomped on until MC arrived on the scene to dab on everyone with red circle with auto-attacks to call it a technical victory - we sure showed him, only 4 of us died running around in panic.

 

[Orud]

you use longspears for cavaliers?

I didn't, until I found this weapon.

 

[Efe]

damn whats your max charge crit?

 

[Yosharian]

Oversized is absolutely not worth a -2 penalty to AB.

 

[Fedora Master]

Oversized is absolutely not worth a -2 penalty to AB.

People complained that in 4E you had to chase every little +1 AB/AC/DC bonus you could get, yet it's even worse here.

 

[Haplo]

Good thing then its compensated by the +2 Circumstance bonus to AB and Damage when mounted.

But personally I prefer weapons that crit a little more frequently, so given that's a late game weapon, I prefer others.

By the way, did Owlcat implement bonus Charge multiplier on Longspears (as replacement for lances)? I think this was mentioned somewhere, but not sure if actually implemented.

 

[Efe]

was just thinking the same. where did you say this dropped?

 

[perfectslumbers]

People complained that in 4E you had to chase every little +1 AB/AC/DC bonus you could get, yet it's even worse here.

I thought people hated 4e because it was overly gamey with lots of fancy powers and enemies having "roles," and what not. A 3.5 player would never be bothered by stacking that stuff in 4e, although with the popularity of 5e I'm sure many people retroactively criticise 4e for that.

I mean, 4E obviously had more problems than just those but it was part of what made it so bad. By removing easy access to bonuses and at the same time increasing the average Time To Kill they created some horrible slog encounters, at least in the early iterations.

I don't have much experience with 4e but encounters are already such mind numbing slogs in 5e and pathfinder that i can't imagine playing 4e if it's even worse

Start of chapter 2. Wiped all enemy groups near starting location except Demon army 7 (many of undead). No other paths left to progress. How to bypass them? I am missing something? Army strenght is 4 atm.
