Looking to get into this game, but my tiny caveman brain shut down upon witnessing the character creator. Any good, digestible noob guides you guys recommend that I can read to learn the ruleset and everything?

I'm not. Well maybe a little. It's good for you, like an effective vaccination.

Turns out one of the big things that Pathfinder tried to do was to make single-classing viable so you have lots of abilities that scale with level and whatnot that makes just playing the autoleveled companions pretty good (maybe play a pet class for main first time through) then as you get a feel for it you'll come up with ideas of how you want to tweak things on your own.

That's great. I'd certainly prefer to jump right in and learn as I go with something basic. Just wasn't sure that was the right approach with this game.

As far as difficulty level, is standard Normal a good starting point? For context I only have experience with BG1/2 on Core Rules as far as CRPGs go.

 

[Desiderius]

You can start on Easy then kick it up if it gets boring. Game is hardest at the beginning so no dishonor in that. Make sure and use the Bard - she can sing and attack/cast at the same time.

I don't know if my steam page is exactly that but you can see a lot of builds on it and that might help you a bit. (Team B is under construction right now so don't look too closely at that part.)

Check my sig for the link

Very helpful, thanks. The only problem I foresee is that I have no idea what all those items are or where to find them, unless I read the spoiler tags.

 

[Desiderius]

I mean those are fun to compare notes once you have a playthrough or two under your belt. You won’t be hopeless just playing the classes, in fact you’ll be ahead of many of those who’d look down their noses at you.

Don't worry about that, the item suggestions are meant to give an idea of how the builds fit into the game's item meta. They aren't too important for someone playing through the game for the first time.

Also the spoiler tags are for people who want to play blind, they don't give away much, if any story information. Rather it's things like which artisan makes the item, or in which chapter the item drops and in what location.

Playing it now as a vanilla Fighter and it's been comfy so far (just on easy though).

I see. I'll peruse the guide and see what looks fun. I have no qualms about starting over fresh partway through.

Maybe you should...

 

[Orud]

It's been a while since I've played this, but I want to give it another go now that they've added in turn based mode. Apologies if this has been answered recently, but is the turn base implementation good? Or does it feel tacked on?

 

[Desiderius]

Much better than Deadfire since the ruleset is TB.

 

[LannTheStupid]

1. It is good.
2. It makes your game 1 level of difficulty lower than in the settings.

Enjoy your play.

Someone knows what's the deal with the Ki power - True Strike with the Zen Archer? It's a standard action that states one can shoot a concealed / partly concealed enemy with a significant buff to one shot. Before the turn ends... Ok, but it's a standard action! One actually cannot use an attack after that! ...it would really seem rather strange to have this as an innate ability of a class considering one would need to supplement it with a higher tier spell or an external ability for it to even work. What am I missing here?

 

[Efe]

like true strike it shoudl last 6 seconds, which is enough time to fire 1 attack.
is it not working like that?

 

[Desiderius]

It’s pretty bad (unless you use it to land a Combat Maneuver - Lann’s stats are pretty good for that and he starts with Combat Reflexes so that is something to build toward) for just one shot.

Strength of ZA (and ranged combat in general) is quantity, not quality. Use Ranging Shots Mythic ability to help those land.

 

[Reinhardt]

Wrong Pathfinder, niggers.

 

[Desiderius]

You can play ZA in P:K thx to our good friend Holic.

 

[Reinhardt]

What about

Mythic ability

like true strike it shoudl last 6 seconds, which is enough time to fire 1 attack.

Sorry, my bad. It says "...if the attack is made until the end of the next round." The wording is there. Though I'd say it's not doing anything very good as stated by Desiderius as well because:
1) Zen archer's five attacks per round are gone, only one attack and an end.
2) The Improved Precise Shot lowers the concealment down one level anyway, and as a passive it's "on" all the time. I've not yet achieved the Mythic Shot, so idk about that.

 

[Efe]

are you sure your other 5 attacks get lost?
