Well, if Weapon Focus for 1 AB is sometimes worth a feat (sometimes disregarding its requirement as prerequisite for other feats), then +2 Str, which is +1 AB and +1-2 damage, is definately worth it, no?

I disagree that it is worth it. It’s all about opportunity cost so none of this makes sense in a vacuum. What are you taking it over?

I'm live bitches, for prob 4-5 hours

Gonna mod a bit, I'd love to do some NPCs design by comitee, then play some BTSL on unfair

 

[Yosharian]

this patch TO-DO first items would probably be:

- Cap AC limit of monk stats to ac per monk level
- Gimp Asimaars

Yeah Aasimars are unbelievably broken and there are a couple of dips in Pathfinder that are just ridiculously good, unchained Monk is one of them, unchained Rogue for four levels is another, and Paladin 2 is another.

I hope you guys know what you are doing, and that the system is going to be as interesting without those "broken" dips. I am in no position to judge this due to inexperience, but you are.

Above all, keep the system interesting.

someone make ERYFKRAD play vs v1 bear treant.

Unchained was an overcorrection.

I have no idea where this idea that Assimars are broken is coming from. They're underpowered compared to anything but maybe Half-Orc. Can someone explain what class they're good for?

Oh I beat that guy too. It was in anticipation of that fight that I had prepared for.

Sound like abusing game options instead of normal play. Also you are reducing intended game difficulty for this part of the game. You might as well set the game to Easy difficulty instead of doing these shenanigans.

I fail to see how cleaning most xp-profitable parts of chapter 1 with 3-4-man party where most chars are severely underleveled is making things easier for myself.
At the the time I get full composition only places left to do is lower Sycamore and Stag Lord fort.

Then it is even worse.

You turn game options on and off when it suits you to get more XP.. what is there to not understand. You might as well turn some other options like difficulty to easy before boss fights and back to hard/unfair after boss fights as well. There is little difference.
In both cases you are not using tools the game gives you but change its difficulty options to manipulate the difficulty of the content. Either play with full XP off or Full XP on. That is how devs intended it. Everything else is "cheating".

Edit: and it seems some other people also (ab)use this to make their campaigns easier while boasting they are playing on Unfair. Sorry but by using this trick you are not.

Huh, ArchAngel is a hardcore player, who would thought it. I admit, I've only been abusing this exp stuff on my unfair iron man playthrough....

Replacement portraits...
Amiri

Valerie

Rather interesting, i think

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Replacement portraits...
Amiri

Amazing, they went even more overwrought than base Pathfinder.
Valerie is actually better.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Say, are the dragon style etc feats worth taking on a non monk? I don't plan on spending feats on weapon specialization anyway.

 

[Trashos]

That Amiri portrait needs a different voice.

 

[Desiderius]

She has 12 WIS. Her voice and her eyes should reflect that better. Currently comes across as 8 at best, at least through most of the game.

However, in honor of Archangel, I've decided to restart, again. Playing Unfair Iron Man, WITHOUT abusing exp setting. I've started with a TSS, so far so good. I haven't wiped, yet.
Proof:

 

[Cryomancer]

Any mod who adds Za Warudo(STop Time) to the game?

Spoiler

Anyway, the game is the best modern RPG by far IMO. HEre is why ( https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg_gamers...nder_kingmaker_is_by_far_the_best_modern_rpg/ )

if pain is the point, get same stats as val

Heavy armor + Tower Shield gives highest AC at level 1. It's better than nothing. Only character that was able to survive through the prologue area on unfair iron man, was a druid with a pet.

You laugh now, but when I beat the game on unfair iron man. It would be I that will be doing the laughing. Haha.

Assimar, what class they're good for?

Serious. Any takers?

Been wrong before, could be here. Lets find out.

Any warrior char with a monk dip, for example. which is like, all the strongest martial builds.

Then you have Paladins, scaled fists, dragon disciples, bards, martial sorcerors and the like.
