[Mr. Magniloquent]

How is Blight the strongest?

Miasma (Ex)
Starting at 5th level, if a blight druid is adjacent to a creature at the beginning of its turn, the creature must succeed at a Fortitude save with a DC of 10 + 1/2 the druid's level + the druid's Wisdom modifier or become sickened for 1 round. A creature of the animal, fey, or plant type that fails its save is nauseated for 1 round and sickened for 1 minute thereafter. If the creature makes its save, it is immune to this effect for 24 hours, as are creatures immune to disease.

This ability replaces trackless step and resist nature's lure.

That's my guess. I like Feyspeaker, but considering the amount of animals and fey in particular, this is a really good ability for a shifted/melee druid.

 

[Desiderius]

Sickened itself is pretty sick and not that easy to apply. But yeah nauseated is busted, as one can see from the Stinking Cloud spammers.

 

[Desiderius]

My favorite way to apply mass Sicken is Brutal Beating + Great Cleave.

 

[biggestboss]

Just repurchased the game on PS4 because I saw that there was an official turn based mode.

 

[LannTheStupid]

Interesting.

I am trying to get rid of both the "V" button and "pause at the end of every round" in my RTwP play while keeping control of the battlefield.

I have found Tristian to be a perfect metronome. In the beginning of the fight I can cast his "Touch of Good" as frequently as possible, and due to my settings the game will stop every time the spell ends. That is my "end of round" pause in the beginning of the fight combined with a huge buff for one character. And then, when the fight is decided, I can switch to autocast of something, and the party will clear the field on auto.

 

[Desiderius]

Touch of Good has limited uses. Blessing of the Faithful (short) is unlimited.

Thank you. I stand corrected.

 

[Desiderius]

So for Blight Druid:

Auras are tremendous action economy with AoE requiring not even a Free Action, and the effect is unique, powerful, and persistent.

Basically the strongest thing you can do in P:K by an order of magnitude on a stick without even having to cast it.

The two favorite classes of Unfair solo king Dixon Sider were Arcane Bomber and Blight Druid.

[ArisatoSeldom]

Kinda wish Owlcat would've implemented Unchained Action Economy from splatbook as variant of Turn-Based mode. It plays so much smoother also allowing more options for non-casters, at least in PnP.

Anyway. Tried to play at release, but due bugs got blocked. Want to try playthrough with "canonical" TB, when I'll get some free time.
So main question: does a Crusader archetype scales well in the late game without legion blessing? Want to try replicate my tabletop char, but found it a little discouraging not to have "main" archetype's ability.

Will probably show up in combat log.

Want to try replicate my tabletop char

I think trying to bring a tabletop character to a CRPG is retardation on brain cancer level. You'd better get your MRI scan soon, pal.

 

[ArisatoSeldom]

retardation on brain cancer level

That's how people end up on codex, after all.

I think trying to bring a tabletop character to a CRPG is retardation

I would agree if it's "muh rp" type of character or play in question. But we are talking about Pathfinder here. RAW (rules as written), dungeon crawl or combat oriented, no friendly NPC, little to no rp campaign and merciless GM using battle mats are almost the same as CRPG. And i was retarded enough to like it.

So, why not? It works well other way around.

 

[RK47]

Amazing. I missed out Jubilost.
When I went earlier he wasn't there.
Cue exploring the countryside, wondering how to fill in the treasurer slot.
Killed Troll Boss .. only to realize I missed out on him completely because I never revisited that point of interest.

Nah, it's just that two-handed weapon training only works with melee weapons. This is another instance of tooltips/descriptions where Owlcat messed up, keeping the standard description for the weapon training feature of the standard base fighter instead of adding the correct one.

 

[Joseph Stalin]

For fuck's sake, now they're starting to fix old bugs as well. Welp, guess I'll wait with my playthrough until they're done.

Finish the game now, then play it again. Then again.

Then again.

Yes, that’s what I meant.

I’d reload. And turn on place names so you can see the exclamation points.

I've made peace between the mites and kobolds in Old Sycamore and about to end the chapter. Is it safe to kill them off now for maximum xp/loot gain, or do they play a role later in the game?

Time to commit double genocide!

I wonder how many game decisions take into account that your alignment changed mid-quest? If you start the mite and kobold quest as Neutral, become a mediator, switch to Chaotic Neutral, you can then convince both tribes to worship you - and the game takes that into account.

 

[Desiderius]

My favorite was waiting until Reg becomes CN then making him a Scion/Feyspeaker/Mystic Theurge.

 

[LannTheStupid]

And how one can switch to Chaotic Neutral during the first act? I have switched to Lawful Evil from Neutral after the Troll Trouble was finished.
