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

[Desiderius]

Pink Eye I'm sorry man looks like the Halfling Cav doesn't even get an Order? That's kind of bad - I mean the Saving Throw reroll is really good and so is the Mount AC so that's kind of it's own Order but not quite as good as I thought.

 

[Pink Eye]

I'm going back to playing Monks.

 

[Desiderius]

Welp, first game stopping bug pretty much ever, including P:K.

I'm going back to playing Monks.

This game has some great ones.

 

[Desiderius]

I think this guy:

Sry I didn't get a better shot. Random boss that gives you 61K EXP per character if you beat him. Anyway I think it's a reference to this poor guy:

 

[Desiderius]

Second half of Dsciple of the Pike abilities. Pet class archetypes that leave out the pet tend to overcompensate the player for the choice. See Forester and Freebooter. Forgot best ability: +4 AB when Charging with Polearm or Spear, no AC penalty:

Spoiler

You can see that they now explain where skills come up, and you can watch this happening on World Map where it checks (every hour?) to see if Fatigue triggers or not. Note also the Background +1 Competence Bonus that you get on all of them that give you a Class Skill.

Selective Metamagic now in-game. Is it separate for Daeran because it doesn't make spell Full Round?

Trying to get access to Barkskin without having to play Camellia does come up. Ecclesitheurge of Abadar with Protection and Nobility Domains can take care of this problem (while also getting Seamantle and Inspiring Command).

This exchange has some good features but here Owlcat goes full Soyer. It's in the (global) water. And Ember is supposed to be some kind of evangelist. That isn't how that works.

Aeon has some doozies. This is pretty sick. No Save. No Resist. Nothing to be Immune to. Can of course also use on own characters.

Summoner Aeon looks like it could be a thing. Dispel enemy buffs, boost own team. Giving Dispelling Strike and Bane Weapon to summons seems pretty good.

After over a week of crappy IRL I decided to stop putting this off until release and to give it a go now. I need a decent distraction to take my mind off whats going on in the city around me, hopefully this delivers.

You know how a lot of times changes to accomodate new players are pure decline. This isn't the case here, great UI update.

 

[Desiderius]

No, it’s game stopping.

Hang in there, brother. Let us know anything you need help with. Make sure to turn on Show Location Names (button on top right) once you get to the city map.

 

[Desiderius]

Any concerns about your baseline melee stats being effectively sacrificed to pump up cha for the 1-round ability, or is that something you're going address via buffs and/or itemization?

One round is all it takes if it’s plus six AB or whatever (it’s also Swift Action) but that’s not the only ability that uses CHR. Will eventually get to Dreadful Carnage (Intimidate AoE on kill, which should trigger often on Super Pounce).

You can get to 17 on boosted stats for same point buy price as 13 on penalized stat so 13/16/12/12/12/17 ends up being a common way to divide things up if you care about the penalized stat. Possibly should have gone all in on DEX but that’s a pain with bonus Bite.

Also STR is easiest stat to boost with Enlarging and the things that it effects have many other ways to boost them. Not so for caster stats.

 

[Desiderius]

No, it’s game stopping.

Looks like it may be the new faster reloading algorithm, so if you’ve got that turned on maybe turn off. Will test soon.

 

[Gradenmayer]

They are doing work here.
Can't wait to play this 6 months after it's release.

 

[Alienman]

For anyone getting into this, be careful with reloading while on maps with interactable NPCs, seems they put in a new bug where you can no longer talk to them. So far, it's not game stopping, but extremely annoying, as several of the bugged NPCs have quests associated with them.

Bug or patented anti-save scum tech?

This is Witch of the Veil's special ability that replaces some Hexes:

Looking like it's (INT bonus) activations at INT bonus # of rnds duration which will end up being enough for get out of jail free card and for the fights that matter, though would of course be better at some # of activations per level.

So you randomly get Greater Aspect at level 16, then Weird at 18 which is great, and Witch gets a ton of spells on the back end list unlike Wiz or Cleric bizarrely, and can use them since unlike Ember not spontaneous, but not many other Illusion spells.

Swift teleport positions you for Cones but none on top end spell list so who knows. There aren't enough good Hexes to want them all so downside isn't that severe - maybe you use Swift Teleport to Move so you can use Move action for Cackle.

 

[Desiderius]

New Difficulty Charts at character creation with three core features of class:

Magus = five stars (most difficult)



Barb = one star (easiest)



Kineticist = five stars (and warning):



Alchemist = four stars (and a zero for control on the pie chart lol. They have no idea how to play an Alchemist):

 

[Desiderius]

So Veil Witch puts Standard Action Evil Eye on boss (Medium Range!) which is no save no SR -4 to Saves or AC or attax at lvl 8, Swift Teleports/goes Invis into position, then Move Action Cackles to add a round. Each subsequent turn is Protective Luck (reroll all checks/attacks against) or Fortune (reroll all attax) as Standard Action with Cackle as Move keeping all prior Hexes going without breaking Invis.

The kicker is at level 15 you get both Frightful Aspect (auto Shaken like Dirge) and Greater Aspect with its +4/+4 Aura and Globe as well min/lvl on both. You just sit there Invis manipulating everything.

Perfect Trickster.

And because you’re only using Hexes you can Cackle (can add in Misfortune for rub-ins but have to beat save) you don’t miss the couple you’ve lost.

 

[Desiderius]

Ffs, Hatred Against Evil doesn't work and it was perfectly fine before.

It didn’t tick up to +3 at level 15 even on previous version.

Companions | Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous (fextralife.com)

It appears that, out of the announced companions, three are literal demons, one is a demon-worshipper, two are hybrid-mutants (a reptilian and a spider), one is a zombie, one is a witch, two are strong female warriors, and one is a dwarf. And some weird gender-ambiguous asiatic, plus a talking sword.

Is this the new normal in current_year?

What the fuck is wrong with any of that?

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Do we have more info on the Devil mythic path (beyond the fact that you have to branch into it from Azata or Aeon)?

Play the change you want to see in your games.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Found some leaks pertaining to the Devil mythic path, just some mechanics-related stuff though.

In case they weren't posted ITT already:

[Polanski]

I was thinking about making a Skald PC, which would take greater beast totem to give Pounce to the entire party and just have a group of charging pouncing raging madmen!

which companions would work with such a strategy? I am afraid there is not enough that benefit to make it worthwhile. Any mythic powers to consider? Any of the companions that could be build into such a skald?

Less than 10 days, and almost every single post you've written in the RPG depts has been dumbfuck material. Do you even read, bro?
