Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

If I know Owlcat well enough they will give him some shield feats next

 

[Delterius]

he'll somehow end up with 3 replicate dodge feats that actually decrease AC

Combat Style Weapon and Shield is in fact pretty hardcore. Shield Mastery at lvl 6 and Bashing Finish at lvl 10. The former usually requires +11 BAB and the latter the former. And there are a couple Spiked Shields in a hidden area of Ch. 1 for Shield Bashers.

Might help all the retards who think that Deliverer is a no-brainer and Rangers suck to finally discover Combat Style Feats.

 

[Minecrawler]

What about Encased and ATOM?
Insomnia, Ash of Gods, Irratus, Stoneshard, Partisans 1941?

None of them come close as competitors, unfortunately (in terms of stats).
None of them are former part of Nival, like Owlcats, and worked on HoMMV etc. So it's kind of predictable.
Nice list, though.

Companion stats, some companions are missing though, can anybody with access to alpha screencap Wendaug?

You will be able to choose your background during character creation, here's the list.

Somebody even uloaded examples of the voice over for the companions.

For those wondering, Hardness is like Damage Reduction only much, much better.

Nice sorcerer/wizard with mercenary background should allow to reach hell knight singnifier 1 or 2 levels faster than normal! which is my plan for my first character.

It's DR from PoE and it's shit if it doesn't scale with level because it remains a flat number while the damage exponentially increases.

The important thing is not the flat number, but what's right after. Half damage from energy and ranged attacks, ineffective weapons, immunity to critical hits.

 

[Efe]

..you expected him to read ALL of it?

 

[Lacrymas]

The important thing is not the flat number, but what's right after. Half damage from energy and ranged attacks, ineffective weapons, immunity to critical hits.

It's not clear *at all* that that is a property of hardness and not of objects, and I wouldn't interpret it that way as-written.

This is literally the only difference hardness has over regular damage reduction. They would have used "DR5/-" instead of "Hardness 5" if they didn't want all that additional stuff to apply as well.

 

[Lacrymas]

I'm pretty sure these are properties of the object and not hardness. The difference between DR and hardness is how they can be bypassed.

 

[Xamenos]

I'm pretty sure these are properties of the object and not hardness. The difference between DR and hardness is how they can be bypassed.

Yes, Hardness cannot normally be bypassed. There is zero difference between Hardness X and DR X/- (like a Barb gets, for example). Every object has a hardness, and the number depends on the material used. Why would Owlcat use the term Hardness here if they don't intend to have all other object properties apply as well?

 

[Lacrymas]

Yes, Hardness cannot normally be bypassed. There is zero difference between Hardness X and DR X/- (like a Barb gets, for example).

Yes, but actually no. Adamantine weapons ignore hardness below 20. That's why they use it and I see no reason why they wouldn't apply the other properties objects have.

Ah, yes. You're absolutely right. Can't believe it slipped my mind. Hardness 5 is the equivalent to DR 5/Adamantine, not /-. There is still no reason to use Hardness over DR, but I suppose we'll have to see how they actually implement it.

 

[Lacrymas]

This is just a symptom of Pathfinder 1E being very bloated, so yeah.

Seems mostly the same as the KS update, but hey.

2. Crusade will be entirely reworked, and it’s mechanics improved: for example, we’re completely redesigning the nobility mechanic;
3. More hints, tutorials, and glossaries will be added to help new players to understand the system better and learn how to master it.

Top three most popular and requested suggestions:

Add additional hints and glossaries;

Moar Beta
We’ve been getting multiple requests to provide Beta access to the higher preorder tiers, so you wouldn’t have to choose between in-game items and the option to participate in the Beta test. And we did it! Now Beta access is included in every Kickstarter tier from 99$, pre-order packs “Early Access” for digital tier and both “Collector’s Editions” for physical tier.
We’ve also added new functionality to our pre-order portal, which allows you to upgrade your tier to include the beta. Those who pre-ordered a Boxed Edition will also be able to upgrade to Collector’s Edition and Premium Collector’s Edition.
Check the new packs: https://wrath.owlcatgames.com/preorder

Who’s the good boy in Pathfinder: Kingmaker
Based on the results of the impartial voting, good boy and the best pet creature in Pathfinder: Kingmaker was decided to be NokNok.

That’s it for this month’s news digest. We still have a lot of work with Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, but we are more than halfway there!
See you next month!

It would appear mullet Michael Jackson has a decent charisma score. Those looks certainly aren't generated any magnetism.

 

[Pink Eye]

Here's to hoping Beta is more refined than Alpha. Was really disappointed that mounted combat in alpha turned out to be janky. I mean, I get it's alpha and Owlcat, but still.

 

[Cryomancer]

Is truth that wotr alpha is more stable than kingmaker on launch?

 

[Pink Eye]

I can't speak for everyone, but for me it didn't crash that many times. I did suffer some huge FPS drops in the market place. Played the alpha on two computers, so it's definitely the market place that was causing the slow downs. It's fine outside of that. The real problem is the implementation of the mount system, and class mechanics. Their implementation is *really* janky.

It's alpha ^^ Let's hope its improved in beta

 

[Cryomancer]

Other question. Still unlimited summons? Necromancy in solasta is inexistent and awful on BG3. I loved necromancy on pfkm, in wotr is the lich mythic path amazing in quality and quantity of summons?

I'd say so yes.

Not sure, I haven't played Lich mythic.
