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

I enjoy it. Battles resolve reasonably quickly but aren’t trivial, and you’re rewarded for methodical play with the companions. You can scout out new areas, return to camp to configure your team and spells then repeat four or five times if needed. I probably did that for both the Leper’s Smile Cave (great trap rigging!) and List Chapel both.

Meanwhile your army resources steadily grow and you only need to make sure to keep up morale.

In P:K there was too much of a reward for going fast to do that.

I'm starting to get the distinct impression that Disciple of the Pike is not the best class in the game.
I mean, sure, +4 attack and damage on spears at level 20 SOUNDS good on paper, but in practice it might not be the best.

It also lets you use Duelist Gloves and unlocks Advanced Weapon Training and has a couple things that give you scaling Dodge AC. Biggest Benefit is untyped Nature and Arcana bonus per lvl/2. Skills matter a ton and this lets you cover two of them. Do a run with Arcana and Nature Mythic Tricks and get back to us.

Basically Challenge gives you free damage so you can fight Reduced One-handed and/or Shield Bash and still do a lot of damage with Leading Strike while tanking at same time.

And you still get the great Tactician and the Order abilities.

When do you get Advanced Weapon Training? I haven't had that as an option at level 12.
It also sounds like maybe this class is better for a tank with a shield rather than a longspearman.

Never lost a single unit

Ranged seems to be crucial due to the sheer damage they put out, clerics and hellknights are just excellent units all around. What's with the brown guy though?

 

[Rafidur]

Who the fuck designed plagued smilodons? High movements monsters with a lot of immunities and a ton of 40 strength attacks on chapter 2??? Is the game just balanced about greasing everything? Is the message that you have to lube up for it?

 

[Rieser]

I like stuff like this when characters take note of your class.

Spoiler

You're goddamn right.

 

[Desiderius]

It could go either way, depends on what items you find and what challenges you’re facing, which is the nice thing about weapons training.

Even if I’m a dedicated Shield Basher I usually don’t pick up the extra bashes until late when the big damage bonuses kick in so you’ve got some time before then to see which way you want to go and you don’t need Shield Mastery with the Mithril Shields.

Slingshoot guy not that good just basic ranged infantry instead of the shield plebs

The game is balanced for good scouts who can pick your battles and have the patience to do so.

Got Seelah headed toward Disciple 9/Pal 11 Mark of Justice and For the Kang. Totally addicted to Tactician Shake.

Hoping to Legend up and get them both to 20.

I at least want to pretend that both was timed missions and your people are dying right now.

Games like trigger my altitis so bad. I've been playing for days and still haven't gotten to Drezen. I'm sure my new overwhelming sorcerer half-elf who'll have spell pen out the twat will be the one I finish though, r-right guys?

Tell me about it - I'm 36 hours in and reaching lvl 2 of Gay Garrison. Core rules.

So i waited a long time to play KM because of bugs and features not added on release. Shoud i wait some time to play WOTR too? I've read in some places its quite less buggy.

 

[Sunri]

what a fucking aids puzzle i can't see shit here

My advice is - be prepared to not take the game seriously in general, including your "experience" of it. For me at least bugs are within the tolerable limits of a brand new RPG.

What do you mean not taking it seriously? I TAKE ALL MY GAEMS VERY SERIOUSLY.

Believe it or not this is the first time it’s functional, and there is a logic to it. Used to have to find the pieces halfway across the map pieces would disappear pieces were in Cyrillic all sorts of shit.

I mean waiting for some months for patches will not improve your "WOTR experience" so much that you would say what a classic RPG, although some errors in the rules implementation and UI glitches will have been fixed.

The campaign's tone is "pretend-high fantasy epic", just a bit more serious than D:OS2

Does anyone know if the movement animation for player characters is moddable? I'd love to change it to walking animation at .75 the speed of the current running animation. I made this mod for Deadfire and it looked and played great, just like the IE games.

Lol, my wife just read Ember's bio in her character cheet. Said it's as if she has written it, at the age of 14, while listening to Bonnie Tyler.

So was “A Midsummer Nights Dream” but still a lot of interesting things going on. Buried here under a pile of fanfic and sucking up to degenerate Redditors and journos and employees.

I love Regill (chapter 2 spoilers)

Spoiler

Is it really the guy you love, or the fact that he's a self-insert of someone who can't stand the giant idiotic plotholes of the main story?

I've played through chapter 1 twice in like 20 hours...
