Pathfinder Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Enhanced Plus Edition - now with turn-based combat

[Cleric of Asmodeus]

Woah.. wait is pounce supposed to work in the surprise round? That would be fukken crazy good for turn based!!

Yep. It's supposed to work whenever you charge, even when you charge as a standard action for reasons including surprise round, being staggered, being a zombie, or even using one of the two feats that lets you ready a charge as a standard action.

This is huge for me

God Alchemist in this game is just too fun. I just got Force Bomb (level 10) and that shit is GOOOOOD.
Damage + Prone a mf's ass. I can't stop playing this game, i want to get cursed bomb asp..

But there's one thing that i dislike. Some quests are gated by time or certain event to trigger but the game never tells you. I had to google about Lost brother quest because i tried to find where's the missing brother just to discover that i need to wait until a certain event trigger so i can actually pass the guards in Varnhold.. It's kinda shitty and bad desgin when the games ALWAYS encourages you to make the main quest asp, i lost quite a few days , at least i got some money doing a certain dungeon and completed a quest about a egg , so isn't a complete waste. The game should notify you like ''The Guards aren't letting the baronness explore, maybe we should wait sometime..'' or something.

I am a big fan of Stoneskin myself, although I can see that it may not do much against Unfair crits. And it costs Diamond Dust, so don't go overboard. Use it where it counts.

I have 1000 diamond dust.

Undeath to Death is pretty handy vs ghosts. Not sure if that’s enough to get you through House or not.

I let Tartuk live, I know you can get him as a companion later, do I need to do anything else to get him?

You don't get Tartuk as a companion. He is only a temporary companion in the prologue at the mansion.

You can (unless it was patched out) , but it's only

at the very end of the game, in the final battles. He has to be your vassal, though.

It's a missed opportunity, imo. He'd be an interesting addition to the evil party if he were available from chapter 2 onwards.

You just blew my mind.

Stone Skin is not what it used to be in the BG series, it's not as good. Especially at higher difficulties. It's actually a bit of a waste to take it, unless you're in for a very long dungeon.
Plus... gameplay-wise, the game will shine for you regardless of 1 or 2 mistakes.

All the more reason to play at challenging or custom. That idiotic double damage just devalues a lot of potential builds/buffs.

Dear Codexers, help me build a Shaman. Obviously I'm using Call of the Wild with Traits enabled, so your expertise would be much appreciated.

Tartuk was going to be proper companion during the development, but they cut him out. I wouldn't be surprised if Kesten and Tsanna were potential companions in the early of development too.

IIRC you need to be Neutral in the last chapter (and Chaotic to make him vassal in ch 2)

 

[Trashos]

Well, that's something that my lawful characters are never going to see. I do not know if I should be impressed or pissed off.

Spoiler

A temporary companion available only to certain alignments. Damn. I will go with impressed.

Mostly agree, but Stoneskin DR kicks in pre-damage-doubling so does twice as much on Unfair. Even on lower difficulties doesn’t do as much as just not getting hit. It’s part of the good action economy pre-healing routine (along with things like False Life and Burst of Glory) but nothing spectacular.

You really need to play around with it yourself. The action economy in Wrath Shaman is mixed between attacking and hexing with good buffing (mix of Druid and Cleric), while the Witch is mixed between casting and hexing with more of the latter since she has better hexes and worse buffs.

I mean the Shaman in Kingmaker added via Call of the Wild. Ever experimented around with it?

It’s massively multivariate. You could play around with it for weeks.

Right now I'm petitioning Holic on Nexus Mods to add two things:
- The Totemic Spirtualist archetype, which is probably the absolute best possible dip for a Druid. It's so good I can't imagine NOT taking it in PnP.
- The Planar Ally spell for the Occultist archetype.

Can’t find it on d20. Druids don’t need dips generally. Just delay you getting to the good stuff and muck up your animal companion.

Notice this part: "A totem spiritualist treats any druid levels she has as effective spiritualist levels to determine the abilities of her phantom animals, but does not treat her spiritualist levels as effective druid levels to determine the abilities of animal companions."

In other words - you take one level of Totem Spiritualist, choose a spirit animal; dump the rest into Druid. What you get is:
- An absolutely superior version of the animal companion - which levels up with you.
- You can take a Domain as Druid - one additional spell slot per level + still have shapeshifting.

In other words - the best of both worlds. There is NO reason to take a regular animal companion if you have a spirit animal.

Other than having to burn a Feat on Boon Companion. Druid levels refers to pet levels. That’s why Animal Domain uses Druid Level - 3 to calculate pet level. Of course your caster level, spell progression, Wild shapes etc also takes a hit.

Says that Paizo banned that archetype in 2017.

 

[smaug]

Okay, I need 6 buildings for a village to become a town (blue and green ones don't count). I was able to upgrade 1 town a while back and I can't upgrade anymore villages. All of my villages have 6 buildings, what else am I missing?

 

[Desiderius]

Do the project.

No, you don't. Druid levels are counted as spiritualist in this regard. And the level of the spirit animal is equal to the player's spiritualist level.
