Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition - now with A Dance of Masks epilogue DLC

[Delterius]

Ok, this is fun


Also there's a +10 Mobility belt in the Hellknight Outpost!

How do you build for a mobility trickster? Do I need combat reflexes or is it the enemy that needs to have it? Do I need a reach weapon? Thinking of trying it off as a pure vivisectionist.

How do you build for a mobility trickster? Do I need combat reflexes or is it the enemy that needs to have it? Do I need a reach weapon? Thinking of trying it off as a pure vivisectionist.

You do need Combat Reflexes! As you want to make A LOT of (reverse) Attacks of Opportunity (Sword Saint eventually also gets even more from Int mod - not that it's really needed). Its nice if the enemies also have it, but its not necessary (with it they can attempt to make AoOs vs you even when flat footed before they act.. and also theoretically attempt multiple AoOs per round). If you keep passing the Mobility check, they don't get to make that AoO - so they don't spend it and can try again - even if they are normally only able to make only 1 AoO per round (some, like some archers, have 0).

And you should max Dexterity, pick a race with Mobility bonus, preferably also with Dex bonus, pick Skill Focus Mobility and Stealthy.... Then grab all item and buff boosts you can (invluding Signet of House Vesperillo.. or some such; a domain user is very nice - like Touch of Good is great and can even use Madness to boost Skill Checks further; obviously Heroism/Greater). You roll vs enemy CMD and that can climb pretty high for some enemies...

Hitting is less of an issue, as your attacks are at max AB, further booster by Ever Ready and vs Flat-Footed enemy AC.

Vivisectionist is a good candidate, able to boost his Dex even higher with mutagen, can self-buff Speed bonuses (not that this is difficult), gets a lot of sneak attack dice. You do not need a reach weapon, reverse AoOs happen when you leave enemy threat ranges, so actual attack reach is determined by the enemy, not by you. However a two-handed weapon grip is nice for 150% Dex damage and 150% Power Attack damage (so I'd recommend avoiding light weapons). As a pure Vivi, you'd need Mythic Weapon Finesse. And with no access to Fighter's Finesse I'd recommend elven curved blades, estocs or dueling swords (particularly if the best one is ever fixed). Rapiers also work... but the best one has a strong Paralysis effect AFAIR, and paralysing enemies would really suck for this build... In general kinda shame, as heavier weapons tend to have juicier crits.
Some dip, like 4 levels into rogue, wouldn't be half bad IMO (and wouldn't need Mythic Finesse then; plus Uncanny Dodge and Debilitating Injury)....

Oh and I strongly recommend TableTop Tweaks for that build. Impossible Speed is huge fun. It also includes some additional neat feats like Shingle Runner or Graceful Athlete. And IMO Vek did an awesome job with his Trickster Mythic Path rework as well!

Meanwhile, the EE has arrived, at least on Steam.

 

[Yosharian]

Magus enchantment allows for 3 elements, provided you can get Acid from somewhere else, that is four elements per hit.

This gave you 2x Elemental Barrage procs per hit, for example Fire + Cold, then Acid + Shock.

To get more than 2 procs per hit you would have to have 4x Geniekind active, which would then give you another 2 procs, for a total of 4.

That's up to 40D6 unresistable damage, plus on the Geniekind damage instances you could have riders like Bane, Holy and Axiomatic, so potentially 24D6 on top of that.

That's 224 damage per hit just from GK + EB, if you had all those riders active. Also, I can't recall exactly but I think some of this damage was multiplied on crits, although only x2, not your weapon multiplier or anything like that.

So it was a significant increase to DPR

I have a vague recollection that Bane, Holy and Axiomatic used to ride the EB procs themselves but I may be remembering wrongly

Meanwhile, the EE has arrived, at least on Steam.

From what I've seen, still not worth it to dive back in

I'll wait for the Enhanced Enhanced Edition

 

[LannTheStupid]

I'll wait for the Enhanced Enhanced Edition

I wouldn't.

As in "play now" or as in "the game's so shite it will never be fixed even with 53 bazillion DLCs and patches"?

If you love our Pathfinder games, please check out Zoria: Age of Shattering, an isometric fantasy CRPG with turn-based combat from Tiny Trinket Games and Anshar Publishing.


Zoria: Age of Shattering is a story-driven, party-based RPG with strong tactical elements, base and follower management that takes place in the expansive Fantasy world of Zoria, a world filled with magic, ancient history, tumultuous politics, and countless mysteries.

Zoria’s Gameplay is a unique mix of action-adventure RPG and tactical management. Explore the beautiful lands of Zoria, from mountains to the ocean, towns and dungeons, follow the story or discover its secrets.

All the adventures in the game are hand-crafted, with multiple paths and various options for exploration, depending on the setup of your party and their environment abilities. You can always revisit a dungeon with another party to see previously inaccessible places and finish all the side quests.

Zoria’s combat is a Tactical, Turn-based confrontation, designed around the special characteristics of each class, abilities, resistances, deadly ranged attacks or strong AOE defenses, healing and much more.

Shy Lily's Helmet (+2 profane AC and +4 str)
Half of the Pair (+2 circumstance AC and +2 attack)
Shield of Faith (+2-5 deflection AC)
Barkskin (+2-5 enhancement nature armor)
Shield (+4 shield AC) or Mounted Shield (+1-5 shield AC)

Mounted Shield is not useful if you have someone who can cast shield unless you are using tower shield which doesn't make much sense.

Also Friend to Animals are broken because it add charisma bonus to all saves (sacred bonus).

1. Shy Lily's Helmet is being used on another character, it's far too valuable to waste on an animal companion.
2. Half of the Pair is being used on the other pet, as I said in my post I gave the best items to the other pet.
3. SoF grants Deflection which is already in the stat list. I don't actually have that spell available in my party.
4. Barkskin: enhancement to Natural Armor is in the stat list already.
5. Shield: is in the stat list already.

I am aware of F2A, dunno why you are telling me about it, and I never suggested Mounted Shield. It's kind of a terrible feat because you really don't need to carry a shield if you are mounted, and also it only adds the base shield bonus (plus any shield focus feats) which is kind of awful.

So patch says this:
In the Treasure of the Midnight Isles DLC, the number of expeditions between tiers has been reduced. Now after defeating The Songbird party is no longer reset;

Anyone knows what this means exactly? I would guess there is no longer 3rd and 4th run but at end of 3rd you go fight end boss or something?

That's it for the Enhanced edition? A couple of quests and a photo mode. Weren't they teasing a rework of the Crusade system a while ago.

 

[Rhobar121]

I am retarded and dont understand how Arcane Strike work or is it bugged?
Even though the skill is enabled, nothing appears in the combat log.

Nevermind, I'm just stupid.

Haven't been keeping up with the patch notes, haven't they been doing that over the last few months?

 

[Desiderius]

Do you think soldiers also must be neutral/chaotic?

(I agree Greybor is not actually a very lawful character. If you defeat him when he tries to assassinate you he reneges on his contract, and aside from being 'professional' he has no lawful qualities).

Imo an inquisitor is a good example of a lawful assassin/murderer.

No, because not all killing is unlawful. I didn't make up the definition of murder, and no I didn't pick it up slackjawed from some imaginary Klan/DSA meeting either, and no I'm also not trying to impose it on anyone either, so you're getting triggered by something in your own mind.

The ironic thing is that Greybor ends up being pretty LG despite himself if you look at his actual assassinations. You'd have a hard time finding a jury of his peers that would convict him of murder in any of those cases, and he's never tried to assassinate me. Of course his quest arc is flat and boring because you're not allowed to bring the LG out of him (as with Val, and as with Cam's quest being locked in) because whites aren't allowed to be LG/it would seem too much like conversion therapy or whatever and they're terrified of the cooties they might catch from that. That wouldn't make him an Inquisitor because he'd be following (the best of) natural law (akin to Ekun's quest) rather than supernatural like an Inquisitor. But you've let yourself be convinced that natural law doesn't exist a priori despite the persistence of the killing/murder distinction across human cultures.

I don't need Frightfull, he covers that slight Strenght loss by getting more attacks even after moving. And hitting stuff was not a huge problem when he can combine Divine Power and his sacred bonuses to attack or rerolling d20 and taking a better roll.

But a big benefit of going Cleric in the first place is getting Frightful at 15 as much for the autoshaken as the size, but since he comes with Reach the size is awesome too.

It's fine that you've read The Closing of the American Mind, I have too.

I haven't read it, and have no interest in doing so. Bloom got things exactly backwards, which might have something to do with his utter failure to even slow down let alone stop the things he wrote the book to decry.

The American Mind isn't Closed lol, it's so Open it's brain fell out long ago and now it can't think of a reason to stand up against [insert whatever thing your team thinks is bad, it's happening and nobody can remember how to stop it, whether it's the vivisection of children or a notorious union-buster basically running the most powerful government in the world through his garbage paper and unchecked economic power, massive surveillance, egging on Nuclear War, you name it]. The only thing at this point people are willing to stand up against is anyone trying to think - hence the anti-intellectualism. If you can't believe you're talking about alignment in a game adjacent to D&D that's a you problem. You can bet Gygax and the boys had plenty of those debates and would find it bizarre that anyone would have a problem with it.

As for fantasy worlds like D&D/Wrath/Middle Earth/whatever the most important feature is coherence, and the easiest way to achieve that is to leave most things on the default settings of reality while tweaking a few things the author finds most important to highlight, so the idea that it's verboten to talk about anything real in that context is counterproductive at best.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

That's it for the Enhanced edition? A couple of quests and a photo mode. Weren't they teasing a rework of the Crusade system a while ago.

You're being too optimistic with "a couple of quests", I believe. Seems to be just one quest for the legend path.

 

[Desiderius]

I am retarded and dont understand how Arcane Strike work or is it bugged?

Nevermind, I'm just stupid.

It really needs the stuff from CotW (Riving Strike, Bloodragers get it automatically, etc...) to be worth using anyway. I guess if you don't have any other Swifts it can be ok, but most classes do eventually, especially Mythic Paths.

Spoiler for chapter 1 gray garrison fight

minagho

so i finally beat this bitch, but in the end, staunton saved her and let her escape. If you kill staunton can you fully kill minagho in this moment? Or can you just persuade stauton not to let minagho escape?

 

[Haplo]

Don't think any of this is possible. But this fight is much easier if you focus on Staunton instead.

I just used every buff possible and finally beat her, just kinda pissed i got the
