Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Pre-DLC Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Desiderius]

If you really want to get spicy with Wolj give him Estoc proficiency and let him cast Nenio’s high DC scrolls she scribes.

Or make your MC a Furry Arcanist and give him infinite DEX with Reduce Person.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

No, I only have 3 armies. When I try to bring up split armies between one, crusader army 4 shows up with nothing, if I transfer units it becomes an army and the one that now has no units is gone and comes up again if I do the same thing except vice versa. I can’t win all the demon fights with such a weak army so it seems either auto-mode or start over.

I can’t get to drezen unless I kill the armies.

When two armies occupy the same position on the map there's a double arrow icon on the right side of the army name tag that allows you to transfer units between armies.

Did you read my post? It creates a new army that isn’t there, so I can never transfer units to an actual army that exists. Read my post.

Woke writing in a nutshell: won't let you progress the conversation until you congratulate the NPC which has been totally useless in the battle, for the victory which you've won for her.

Single-handedly convinced me to never touch this piece of shit even with a 10 foot pole, thanks.

However, they say Wenduag is almost Ekundayo level strong

Wend in my game struggles to kill stronger demon because i didn't got a Cold Throwing axe but everything else gets kill easily. Especialy now that i got Deadly aim and Sneak attack from Slayer class.

How many classes of Slayer did you take and when? I want to give her sneak attack too but not sure at which point.

Right when i got to level 2 tbh.
Fighter is a good class for her but i thought Spawn slayer would be perfect for her. Idk if going to pick full slayer now tho. Maybe dip in something else later.

Fighter works well for Fighter’s Tactics + Seize the Moment + Greater Snap Shot + Enlarge. She gets an AoO on anyone who crits within a 20 ft radius boosted by Ever Ready and the Greater Snap bonus.

But yes, people in times of despair do stupid shit. including using a crossbow vs a demon lord. Note that you are not entering in the underdark on lv 4 like you do in bg3.

Attacking BG3 for letting you into the underdark at a low level right after excusing WotR for letting the player fight a lord of hell with a crossbow (that btw actually hurts it) at level one.

Amazing.

I'm not making excuses. It is AWFUL. It is awful as the Gothic """remake""" from THQ nordic starting.

Anyway, Underdark in different D&D games.

• Dark Sun : Wake of The Ravager : A area full of mindflayers where iis very hard to a party in "teen levels(13+)" to even access. Full of mindflayers and dangerous creatures. Mindflayers has a army of half giant slaves. I had to save scum a lot to pass
• DDO : To even access underdark, you need to do 3 quests and own the Menace of the Underdark expansion pack. All quests to access the underdark are lv 16.
• BG2 : You only get to underdark in chapter 5, You meet mindflayer colony, beholders, drow cities(...)
• NWN : Hordes of the Underdark - The expansion starts on lv 15 and you only enter underdark in chapter 2.

(...)

Wanna have low level underdark? Make something like the party got captured and must flee, find a teleport scroll and convince a magic user capable of casting tier 5 spells to help the party. Don't put a area with spiders and boring stuff.

But again. NOBODY is saying that the beginning of Wrath is amazing. It is certainly one of the worst beginnings of a CRPG. However, crazy epic stuff in a game which ends in lv 20/10 mythic or lv 40(legend) is not the same thing that epic level for a lv 1 to 10 game.

Despite the awful beginning, PF:WoTR offers

• Lichdoom which I don't see since M&M 8(I prefer vampirism but just my opinion) with a phylactery able to revive you(daily) and other stuff
• A lot of other mythic paths. You can even become a swarm or a dragon in the game.
• Dragon companions
• Over 1000 spells
• Option to play RtWP or TB
• 25 Base classes with hundreds of archetypes to chose from + prestige classes
• A amazing HoMM3 style crusade with a lot of tactics and interesting things to do and build.
• Unique quests, outcomes and dialogs for each class. In ch 4 you as a lich has a completely different experience than a Azata
• hundreds of hours of gameplay with a lot of replayability
• A amazing ruleset. 3.75 aka pathfinder 1e
• (...)
• I can continue listing forever.

What BG3 has to offer? Astarion, dungeons & kobolds low level "epic" gameplay, hp bloat in a ruleset which monsters already has crazy high hp(probably the second highest durability in a tabletop game losing only to 4E), casters that can't have a familiar + mage hand at the same time. But yes, since BG3 fans can't criticize anything in this game, they need to pick the unique thing which it did worse than BG3(starting cutscene) and keep talking about it.

Why did you want to touch him in the first place? Getting your gaming advice from some proud rainbow phlag degenerate.

Who better to trust on the matter of representation of rainbow flagged degeneracy than a rainbow flagged degenerate?

Watching a stack of gargoyles and a stack of clerics hit each other for 5 minutes straight is peak HoMM gameplay ngl

Day 1 pirate. These fucks aren't getting my money.

What BG3 has to offer?

Why even attack Owlcat games, they are not competing with each other. I'm pretty sure WoTC would never allow Larian to use 3.5ed so any comparison is kinda moot (if i wanted to play 5ed, I'd go with either DOS3 or Solasta).

This "thing" is pozzed for sure but I wouldn't quite let it decide whether this game is a purchase or not.

The couple is incompetent (discussed IN-GAME) and you can do horrible things to pretty much anybody you decide you don't like.

The Demon lord is literally about degeneracy, so of course it'd be interested in that shit.

The healers mentioned are boring (black cleric dude) and worth ignoring, or degenerate blue-blood noble who's actually funny (and actually bi, assholes and their bi-erasure).

I'm not saying there is no cringe (because there IS, not necessarily due to the woke stuff but because quite a few characters come off as Tumblr fanfic), but you get a great character building setup (if that's your thing, it is mine), and great turn-based combat (subjective of course, no guarentees. I just happen to like it).

The worst is that you can't get rid of those womxn.

You said you're clocking the I button. You should be clicking this button when two or more stacks are in the same spot.

[Desiderius]

Sigh, the autistic fox is getting on my nerves.

Maybe it's time to download the full-companion respec mod so I can have Ember be my Scroll Savant.

I mean, no offense to witch fans (and I admit getting to one-shot a boss because slumber took hold is hilarious), but I want my freaking grease and pit spells.

Let Nenio make high DC scrolls and have Wolj cast them.

Goddammit, then what is, never mind… it works

Woketards would force then to use the "current edition". By the way, 3.5E has "OGL" content. Throne of Bhaal is rushed and one of the reasons is this(they feared that woketards would push 3E on then). Paizo is different. Pathfinder 2E is vastly inferior to 1E but luckily, Paizo is not trying to push it like Woketards tried with 4E and now with 5E.

 

[Desiderius]

I fucking hate these cutscenes that start ignoring the sneaking and brake fucking pacing and force you to watch them over and over as you retry holy shit I can't believe whoever was in charge of that bullshit

Press enter.

Or is it just maxipad time?

 

[thesecret1]

So, what's the verdict? Is it worth a playthrough? Better or worse than Kingmaker?

 

[Desiderius]

are there many fear resistant enemies? Just in case I decide to buy it and redo my dazzling display thug thing

Later on yes, but not for awhile generally. Some things that aren’t easy to intimidate tho.

A - unless I'm mistaken somehow that means that I'd have to haul around Nenio to make the scrolls.....which is something I'm not keen on.

B - That I like Wolj, which I don't.

Sneaks are underpowered in this meta. She’ll do plenty as Fighter as long as she can wear Dueling Gloves and the TWF equipment or use a Holy Weapon.

If you like to have an obnoxious, preachy, pride parade manifesto that constantly takes a piss in your ear while screaming about carpet munching, then go right ahead. There is a lot of build autism and false choice in the game. A lot of shills are outright lying about the reactivity. Gender, Race, and Class are not even acknowledged except in some token lip service here and there, nothing compared to BG3 where entire attitudes of people and groups shifts depending on your race. 40% of the classes and sub classes are pure filler and paper thin, they could be cut and the game would be even a better and tighter experience for it.

A shit game shilled by deviants and homo russian nationalists.

You’re mistaken. She scribes while you rest in camp. Any arcane can cast them or you can just get some UMD on one of your CHR characters. There’s equipment/meals to boost it.
