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

[Heroic Liberator]

People are streaming the game, it's not under NDA anymore. They said so in the Kickstarter update.

I just had my doubts since I don't see any screenshots being posted ITT by other users that have beta access.

We're busy trying to figure out what isn't broken.

Too few things.

is that a warhammer fantasy knight pic?

My go-to grimderpy knight custom portrait:

Looks like Eugene of Savoy’s.

Please conceal massive photos behind the spoiler button. They really junk up a thread otherwise.

 

[Shinros]

New lich powers, made an image for them. It's similar to azata superpowers, over your ten mythic levels you can get three of them. Yes, lich got buffed to those who played the alpha.

I've wanted to ask this for some time, how does azata zippy magic interact with chain lightning? Does it allow you to create two bouncing bolts? If it does, can the secondary bolt hit creatures that have already been struck by the primary one?

It would've been pretty hilarious if it worked like that. It would've basically turned the spell into a "delete everything on the screen" button, especially for the arcane tricksters.

Somebody, please test this.

There's a good bit of Electrical Resistance/Immunity so you'd have extra work to do but yeah there are a lot of delete buttons in current version.

An example of the tutorial working well to walk people through how things work and why (and why it's important):

 

[Shinros]

Oh by the way on the lich powers, I forgot one of them, fear control for those who like doing frightened/mind affect builds. Updated the second image. My editing skills need more work.

For a melee build, fear control + indestructible bones seems pretty good. Not sure on the third pick though.

I would say magic devourer, you get magic resistance and if you get hit by magic you become quickened, don't forgot no matter your class you're getting a lich spellbook on top of your powers. A Wizard might get their spells earlier, but other classes still get some fun tools.

Yeah, either that or maybe undead mount if you go cavalier.

One weird trick if you want to boost your early experience:

Spoiler

Keep this on at all times except when you see an End Dialogue button before gaining a new party member:

Turn it off then (yes you can do this in the middle of dialogue) then back on after the new character joins (this allows them to gain all your experience). Seelah starts with this much experience:

Camellia with this much:

And you'll hit level 2 before Lann/Wend join and level 3 early in maze.

 

[Desiderius]

So Wolj is confirmed bi and Sos gay?

Confirmed that they knifed Avellone?

Is there a list of the Azata powers somewhere? I was considering that or Trickster for my current run.

Reading the animal companion one makes me wonder how druidic liches would work.

Divine liches work fine with gods of undeath and such, arcane liches are a of couse, but kinda hard to reconcile the idea of somone who worships nature and life turning to a incarnation of death.

I guess druids who focus on aspects on winter would work but thats more a life waning to surge back in spring then a final death.

There are evil druids who focus on plague and death, like cleric they also get necromancy spells and can animate dead at caster level 3, it's an express point in pathfinder that such druids worship Urgathoa.

 

[Desiderius]

Blight Druid is natural fit.

 

[Percy]

death of elements and negative energy mastery are interesting

lich alchemists and kineticists?

 

[Xamenos]

It's weird that Lich is apparently geared for blasters and does nothing special for fort-save Necromancy spells. You might even be better off going Azata if you want to spam Fingers of Death.

Few questions...

Is this still rtwp + TB?

Are encounters still designed the same for both combat modes?

Do companions have proper AI scripts like in the infinity engine games or do they still only auto attack and cast one ability?

Because in the first game it sucked to fight all that rtwp trash in TB mode.

There is TB yes.

Yes, the game is designed around rtwp, TB is just option for all the TB whiners. There are encounter that will make you pull your hair out as it will take 1 hour in TB (Tavern Attack)

Companion AI only auto attack/use set skills you put on auto unfortunately.

On positive note, the enemies are getting OKish behaviour overhaul. Instead of just beelining to you some enemies use SLA and Combat Maneuver as well.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

lol buffing Lich literal top tier mythic choice in the Alpha

Aeon and Demon are the mythic that need buff the most

Trickster pwns little Lichy

This was the case in P:K too. Could use it all the way up to rescuing either reg/oct or the two companions who joined what's his face instead of you (basically when you had a greater-than-full-size party). Let you be lvl 2 when leaving Aldori and almost level by the time you hit the spider cave just after Oleg.
