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

I really hope you can hang Irabeth or at least tell her to btfo.

Ok, I reached the crystal decision, 3rd floor of Gay Garrison.

Let me take just a minute to note how moronic of the story writers it is to decide that humans and celestials would combine their forces, for the supremely important task of designing a protective system against the abyss, and should be so dumb as to design a system with a single point of failure. If this obelisk breaks the whole barrier goes down. Amazing writing.

Other than that, I think someone on the writing team unintentionally described Russian society and history in two-three paragraphs:

Spoiler

Once again the clearly more evil decision is to prolong the suffering of those who suffer, by choosing the superficially "good" course of action. I don't know if they realized that, and I should give them points for it, or not.

They probably did not want to design a system with a single point of failure or angels being locked in eternal servitude, but simply had no better options.

I also think that the reasoning behind the "good" option, is that demonic magic has corrupted the rebellious angels and made them see their service as suffering. Otherwise they would have been content with their sacrifice.

That being said, my current character will definitely believe the "red" reasons and corrupt the shit out of those stones.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Haha turns out that orc elf are just normal aside from elf bitch being crazy.

Orc chick be like. Well you gotta take what you can get.

Irabeth sold her father's sword to pay for the transition. Fucking medieval fantasy, huh..

Use a real image host. Don't hotlink a chan that's going to delete it by the end of the day.

How completely stupid. It's even dumber than I imagined. This dude wore a dress for a few years and decided to cut his dick off. That's it.

John Money would be proud.

 

[Tacgnol]

So how do you order the craftsmen to improve the relic in act 3? I can't seem to make it work.

The diplomacy wing of the command needs to be free from doing an event/anything else.

Also there might be hidden requirements for diplomacy rank on some of them, as some relics I couldn't start the upgrade event despite the diplomacy wing being free. I had enough materials as well.

 

[Lagole Gon]

So, do you guys do anything interesting with Nenio? Or just go pure aspie wizard?

 

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

Were they trying to make it sound creepy? Is this a deliberate subversion?

It kinda reads as if a Klan member wrote a story about an Irish boy and a black girl getting together, where you learn the boy's parents were in an incestuous relationship and the girl's a crack addict.

 

[Stoned Ape]

Seelah's Ultimate Evolution:

Having Lann as a druid that can enlarge animals is 100% worth it.

I've not tried it yet, but I think he should be able to make it possible to ride a raptor/cheetah etc

 

[ERYFKRAD]

I'm planning to administer the Emperor's Mercy.

 

[Jaedar]

Well, TBF they made it WAY harder to get mercs in Wrath. Kinda a big ole fuck you to those who like creating their own parties.

Seriously, 4k for a level 2 merc?! And it only get's worse.

Yeah, but the companions in wrath are way better than the ones in kingmaker. At least relative to the content. I remember all the default melee companions in kingmaker getting instagibbed as soon as they entered the fight, this isn't happening to camellia or woljir. Admittely I'm only in act2 so far, and iirc kingmaker didn't get properly murderous until the undead cyclopi, so we'll see.
Both in terms of writing and build. Still, in kingmaker you could make your entiry party mercs by the time act 2 started, in wrath I think you wouldn't get there until the middle/end of act 2.

So, do you guys do anything interesting with Nenio? Or just go pure aspie wizard?

I'm planning to administer the Emperor's Mercy.

Imo it's hard to do much interesting with wizards(or any casting focused build really). There's probably some pretty strong build combining eldritch knight for BaB with loremaster for feats you normally can't get but you'll still wind up with a character that's mostly a caster with maybe a not entirely horrible attack on top.

 

[Stoned Ape]

Also wanted to say that 24 hour enduring-spell buffed muscle sorcerers seem pretty strong.

Unfortunately since going gold dragon path, not quite as strong as he was previously as I no longer get the +6 STR and +4 CON from frightful aspect which seems to be bugged. Not getting any size mods to attributes, actually as I checked with enlarge person, too.

Spoiler

Still managed to beat up an equally fully-buffed Core Regil in a plot-related 1v1 duel though, so comfortably better than a Armiger 7/Hellknight 10 even with most of my feats and 2/3 of my mythic upgrades going to spellcasting related abilities.

 

[AwesomeButton]

With a wizard MC, I need to fight creatures with magic resistance and resistances to fire, acid and cold (and immunity to electricity) from the very beginning of the game. This pushes me towards buffing and ground-targeted spells if I want to be effective in combat at all.

Damage-causing cantrips are largely not effective, and the same goes for the usual "nuke" spells.

 

[Shadenuat]

Just shut your eyes and throw Snowballs everywhere.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Sure, I can cast it. About thrice per day, four times when I'm level 5, but by then I'm ready to move on to chapter 2 :D

 

[Robber Baron]

Yes. Much better

Spoiler

 

[Shadenuat]

Isn't Ember very first hex Owlcats given her is one that supresses resist?

Anyway, 20 int is +2, thassilonian is +2, +1 bonded object, and mythic for extra spells is err +4? So at the beginning of Chapter 2 you're at 8 to 12 spells of every level depending how you play your cards. The problem is growing until you aquire enough Spell Pen, which is early Ch3.

Ch1 yeah, join your fox companion in doing what wizard does best,

Welp, Blackwater was one giant shit fest. Or rather, one giant slog. None of the enemies posed any actual threat, but fighting demons with 50 AC and ~500 HP is just a pain in the ass. And then the final boss was just a walkover, after what mustve been 2 solid hours of greasing and praying for critical hit confirmations. Whoever designed this part of the game deserves to be shot. It feels genuinely misplaced and more like a kickstarter backer self-insert for "cool steampunk shit" than anything that actually belongs into the game.

Didn't help that there was basically no meaningful loot in this entire shithole, with enemies who are sitting well above 45AC dropping +1 armors and basic non-enhanced weapons.

 

[Parabalus]

You can kill her and/or mutilate her.

 

[ArchAngel]

This is why you use magic missile and Bonecrush.

it sounds reasonable after fucked up childhood people do weird things

 

[Parabalus]

You don't need the various skills on the MC to benefit from Trickster tricks , i.e., Nenio can have Knowledge Arcana, identify the item and it'll still be buffed.

how buffed are the items out of curiosity?

 

[ArchAngel]

Those retards in Bg3vsWotR topic are funny. Kind of like a monkey in a cage.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Unfortunately since going gold dragon path

My biggest dissapointment so far, gold dragon feels a downgrade after Azata...

I finished there "easly" thanks to my casters, but yeah kind of a slog for melee heavy parties. Ember on fire lightning, Daeran on fire, holy damage made short work of most fights. Last fight was kinda cool with all that movement and stuff.

 

[Desiderius]

I just started using scrolls instead of taking Abundant Casting (took Enduring instead) and liking it a lot. This lets you cast some very high DC AoE control spells (mostly Slow early) while using her slots for buffs.

Will be going SS10/Loremaster10 and probably getting her some xBow skillz. Midgame Illusion spells are very strong (Pattern, Web, and Putrefaction) so will be casting those and Persistent versions in hard fights.
