No the formula wasn't explained. There was nothing telling that it uses charisma modifier[instead of actual charisma stat] that is right next to stat, and that it is calculated by adding the modified value as Sharpedge explained with round_down(raw stat -10)/2 formula to the base DC which is 10. So in my case it was 10+5[which was devised from 21-10/2 rounded down].
Why can't you admit this isn't explained ingame by a proper FINAL formula? What's with the aversion to math formulas in games generally?

It was repeatedly. The entry in the encyclopedia I went back and circled after you lied about it says bonus, not stat. The bonus is right next to the stat.

You could come here and ask where the bonus is and how it works. Instead you came in with hurr durr game suxxors. The bad attitude is what's blocking you. Not the game. Not us.

People have been explaining it to you for two seven pages.

How about being done trying to vindicate your belief that we're cunts and instead consider the possibility that you were mistaken and that you're perfectly capable of handling this game after all?

And then there are dipshits like Mortmal clouding the issue projecting all over instead of coming to terms with his own limitations.

By limitation he means i was asking if in wrath of the righteous, a game i am not playing yet, about the lich mythic path, something homebrewed by owlcat with inaccurate and uncomplete info in the wiki , so not in the rulesets nor anwyhere . I was asking if you could buidl it in a way you could massively ability drain with multiple projectile hits and the mythic feat.
Thats all and that was page of insults for asking that , the guy has serious mental issues and only purpose is bullying , he probbly has more pleasure doign that than playing the game.

Where is the actual part that explain that you don't take charisma stat directly, but you take modified value of that stat substract 10, divide by 2 and round it down? Because i can't see it with the snippet that was provided to me by people in this topic. Here's the snippet.

Yes because criticism of obtuse explanations in an encyclopedia will deprive your dear sons from good games.

a) it's not obtuse. pretty much spells it out

b) he said it wasn't there, not that it was obtuse.

What do you imagine you're accomplishing by the inane ankle-biting?

Honestly I'm a bit shocked that Desiderius had to load the game and take a screenshot of the relevant encyclopedia page. I had just assumed he had a screenshot library of every single section ready to go whenever someone dared asking in the thread.

That's what bonus means and has meant since Lord Gygax came down from the mountain.

Thanks for the compliment. I put a lot of work into this. How about you try to put in a little of your own?

I like playing good games and want there to be many available for my sons to play. People shitting on good games and giving them a bad rep means fewer good games being made.

How is this complicated?

Yes because criticism of obtuse explanations in an encyclopedia will deprive your dear sons from good games.

What many Codexers don't realize is that PFK is a global treasure. It is literally the Eighth Wonder of the World and should be respected as such goddamn it! Saint Desiderius (PBUH) has tried to bring us into the light and spread the Good Word Screenshot, but as usual, the resident Codex anklebiting shitposters want to drag down this most holy of games and usher in an age of NEVERENDING DECLINE!

It is up to sacred Guardians like dear Desiderius to preserve and protect this legacy for all our future generations. Have some goddamned respect.

You have my keyboard, great Saint. :hero:

Nope, not with you stirring me up this much. I'll be the last one standing until Infinitron splits the thread.

I was deliberating between replaying IWD 2 and reading a book, but now that I have started reading this discussion I have added "maybe replay PF:KM" to the list.

Sorry but you started gaslighting with accusing me of lying and then went into your delusions that i somehow were intended to slander the game and create its demise by asking on the forum about some obtuse mechanics, that will in the end have so great reverbations it will result in your sons not playing good games and then developers going bankrupt.

That doesn't sound very sane to me.

"Your bonus for the relevant ability"

Not your ability score, but a bonus. And it doesn't give a formula for an ability bonus, because it gives the exact value of a bonus on character screen.

Meh. If anything. This makes me want to replay Knights of the Chalice 2 again.

That's fair, but most people don't have 5000 hours or whatever in the game. Like I put something ridiculous like 850 into it, but even though I occasionally want to fire it up for a new build, I just can't bring myself to do it yet. Maybe in a few years.

Heh. I just love Knights of the Chalice 2 a bunch, I enjoy playing it. Between Colony Ship and Chalice - that's all I play. Anyways, that's why I put so many hours into it. I mean, it's been weeks now but I still get a dopamine high from Pierre sharing my video on his update of me beating the final encounter.

What nonsense is Mortmal spouting now? I don't give any advice on Lich beacuse I've never played it. Everyone knows I don't play Evil MCs.

Lies on top of lies.

His limitation is that he bought the same release day memes that I did but didn't bother testing them to see if they made sense so he's still stuck there which whatever if he weren't giving advice based on it and trying to dunk on people with more experience.

I don't have 5,000 hours or anything close. I've only gotten to House twice and only have three decent playthroughs that even got to Coronation. I spent about a year testing different classes for people mostly on request and dicking around with mods and whatnot.

But even if I did people have hobbies. Nobody gets butthurt if somebody who's been working wood their whole life puts a newb who's feeling he's oats and gotten off on the wrong track back in his place, unless it's the newb who has his own issues.

I was talking about Pink Eye since last I recall, he had something like 2,500 hours in it and that was ages ago, in the middle of the insane solo monk craziness.

Pro-tip: It's not always about you. Promise. Get some sunshine. :love:

Well there's another option, its asking on owlcat official forums, there's another desiderius there who could answer you but strangely all neutered, he will answer you in a polite tone if a bit high pitched, as if some big russian moderator was holding him by the balls and not letting go.

I wasn't gaslighting anyone. More slanderous lies. Tearing me down doesn't build you up. Same with the game. Stop.

You didn't ask until long into the thread, at which point we tried to help you in a very different attitude. You get what you bring.

Your intentions are irrelevant. A lot of people slandered the game and now people come in with expectations that not only don't match the reality they preclude people from seeing what's right in front of their nose or putting any effort into finding what isn't yet.

You're a case in point.
