Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Game of the Year Edition

[Seari]

Anyone tried this mod?
https://github.com/pheonix99/TomeOfTheFirebird
Also any other mods besides DarkCodex and TTT for new feats and spells that are good?

 

[Incendax]

Can someone explain to me how you can find Ember remotely good ? Its just animecutepoint baiting.

I'm not sure about "Good", but I like the idea that she's using mind control / super persuasion and not actually converting these monsters fair and square.
We see all the shit Arue has to go through to achieve sincere redemption, then along comes Ember and the monsters might as well be saying "Yes, master!" to her.
The idea of a supreme manipulator that thinks she's doing good is somewhat interesting.

Begs the question "If you take their free will and make them do something good, are you good?"

 

[Mauman]

Yeah, my view of Ember soured quite a bit over my playthrough.

First, there's the obvious cute baiting. With the over-the-top attempt to make the player sympathize with her.

Second, as mentioned, the whole "brainwashing for the greater good" she's inadvertently doing, which leads to....

Third, the hypocrisy of her stance on Gods considering she has a literal divine being backing her up (and implicitly powering the brainwashing).

And finally, a bit of a personal thing here, hooking her onto what I consider one of the DUMBEST plot points in recent Paizo history

Spoiler

that being Nocticula's joke of a "redemption" story

If I ever get around to playing this again, I'll probably intentionally fail her questline.

 

[Roguey]

By the time Ember can get the Lay to Rest hex there aren't too many opportunities to use it, but that it works against the lich and the undead dragon is hilariously great.

Likewise the cloak of fear I got in Baphomet's maze is making all these fights in Iz hilariously one-sided. Even the swarms are running scared.

I've seen worse DLCs.
That said, Owlcat isn't known for good ones.

> Arcane Rider's Arcane Weapon Enhancement didn't apply to their animal companion – fixed, but It will apply only when the character is mounted;

After I finished the game, thanks Owlcat -_-

Oh well my Aeon build just got even more powerful

I'm concerned that the bug regarding Arcane Rider and a non-horse mount isn't mentioned. That was a really awful bug.

 

[Yosharian]

Velociraptor nerfed, lmao I bet there's some butthurt over that on the Discord

 

[Average Manatee]

Nerfed how much? Does it still have more attacks than normal or is it just a normal ass pet? It's already small so it should have some advantage.

Probably no longer has 42 attacks would be my guess.

"The Sling Staff Nature's Agony didn't use its special ability and had a wrong bonus – fixed"

Another long-dead playthrough necroed. So nice to include buildarounds that don't work so people can blow thirty hours getting the the non-functional buildaround.

 

[volklore]

What are you guys' experience with TTT, worth using? There is a ton of changes (and it seems some are redundant with what was implemented by owlcat with patches like the loremaster spell secrets?)

Update 2.1.2d
Hello, crusaders!

An update 2.1.2d is here!

Highlights:

• After some romantic scenes, shifter characters could lose the desire to polymorph – fixed.

You'd think that would increase the desire to polymorph, especially during. "Hey baby, how do you like my spiky manticore wang?" Seriously, ten bucks says Wenduag's into it and Camellia would be the one telling you to do it. The companions in this game are freaky.

• A romantic scene with Ulbrig could repeat even if you broke up with him – fixed;

Ah, a man of culture. "You WILL taste the griffon!"

Biowhores everywhere on suicide watch; their dreams in shambles.

 

[LannTheStupid]

Changed the Will check when talking to Ulbrig in the tavern. Now only the player character will look him in the eye;

Isn't it a throwback to Kingmaker's checks? When the main character had to have really, really good Persuasion?

 

[Haplo]

Nerfed how much? Does it still have more attacks than normal or is it just a normal ass pet? It's already small so it should have some advantage.

Well, its still far above average. 5 Attacks, 6 with Haste - and Pounce. Plus it Trips on Bite. Being Small IS an advantage.

I guess Smilodon is more competitive now (but doesn't Trip and is unfortunately bigger).

 

[Haplo]

Data mining after yesterday patch appears to have revealed, that we are going to get some cool new archetypes:

Like Ghost Rider, Weretouched Shifter or Tandem Executioner

 

[Cyberarmy]

Interesting new editions but I cannot replay WotR anymore. Abondoned my last 3 run at act 4 and they were all fun builds :/ I think I peaked my tolarance for epic campaign.
Currently replaying Kingmaker, using some mods and it feels much better. Dunno how long it will last tbh.

Small is an advantage in getting more things to attack something in melee, unless you want to ride the pet, in which case large ones let you have more pets attack the same target.

Also, honestly, whoever added a velociraptor to the game and thought "you know what? We shouldn't allow players to ride this, riding velociraptors is wrong" should be at the least fired, better yet sentenced to execution by firing squad.

 

[Haplo]

WDYM?
Velociraptor is perfectly rideable (although for medium races needs level 7 and Reduce Person - or maybe level 7 and Animal Growth with TTT).

Also large mounts might be nice for damage, but they are not good for mounted charge pathing and distance.

There are a handful of checks in WotR where you have to solely rely on your own character's ability.

Ain't no one who wants to wait that long and go through all that hassle. Also means generally worse stats (and reach) for your rider (assuming you're going strength, not much reason to make a dex rider since you don't even care about AC.
