Insert Title Here Pathfinder: Wrath
One thing I noticed in regards to the whole armor vs. unarmored dex/stat AC is that the latter is stronger than it should be also because there are very few enemies that actually cancel your dex and assorted bonuses to AC. Not many enemies that immobilize your party or stealthed enemies. In the act 1's mansion fight there are actually some stealthed cultists and that actually tore through two of my tankiest characters which had a lot of non-armor AC and neither had uncanny dodge.

Are there more enemies that cancel your AC bonuses one way or another later in the game? Currently not playing more and waiting for patches.

The support really isn’t there for non-armored this time and the armor is so good anyone telling you to go non-armored has no idea what they’re talking about.

Itemization is much, much better than P:K's +1, +2 .... +8. DCs just need some balancing here and there. Same with companions. I'd take the "did I mess up agaain guurl" any day over the ultracringe barbarian.
The bolt that hit Deskari seemed awkward to me as well, until I got a little further in the game. Mythics... are just the epitome of build porn. *Every* mythic path has interesting venues for both casting and melee. Getting back to the game now, too much time spent writing this.

What is the problem with power gaming? Is there any reason to play this thing if it isnt to power game the shit out of it? The first motherfucker that comes talking of "roleplaying" on a game that has a furry in it and half the cast talk like californian girls, I will throw a virtual shoe on his head.

There ought to be a middle ground between faggot walking sim roleplaying and hardcore autismo minmaxing. I don't like having dump stats or 1-class-dips into stuff that thematically doesn't make sense, but that is exactly the way you need to play this on Core it seems.


No you don't, but that doesn't mean that the gameplay loop doesn't get extremely tedious with all the copy pasting and requisite pre-buffing, with the occasionally retarded fight that you cheese with a cloud spell or something like that.

It is simultaneously too easy and too hard.
So far ATHEISM had some pretty cool unique interactions. Any other beliefs have some cool moments?
Iomedae?
Rovagug maybe?

Asmodeus has plenty of interactions.

While there have indeed been a few improvements in the UI, bafflingly some things remain as opaque and obtuse as the original. Someone's ported the Hotkeys for Weapon Sets AI and Stealth mod over from PFK.

What I'd also like to see is some indication of remaining "pool" resources for builds that have pools (e.g. Magus pool) and, especially for the Magus, to be able to right-click over your weapon as-slotted (on the right) to check whether your weapon is still enchanted or not - as it is you have to unfold all the weapons boxes and then right-click on the weapon in the unfolded weapons box, which is hella clunky.

Are we even playing the same game?

Why would you need dump stats and 1-class-dips? I'm playing on Core without any of that and I'm doing fine. The only problematic encounter so far has been the one with the AIDS-ridden smilodons.

The ability to take a weapon from one character and equip it on another one is also an art which was apparently lost with the sinking of Atlantis, because nobody has figured out how to do it.

The old turnbased mod for Kingmaker even did it better.
Exactly my thoughts. When a modder is making a better job than the developer, then there is something wrong going on.

Half of the spells and effects are inconsistent as to whether or not they work.
Try using burning hand in tight places. I keep hitting my teammates even though the interface shows me that it shouldn't be that way. Infuriating.

The other similar thing that irritates the hell out of me is the inaccuracy of the Grease spot. Numerous times I've carefully placed one of my chars just outside the visible graphic of the grease spot to attack an enemy and they've pratfalled. I think the devs are trolling us with that.

And while we're on the QOL subject, WHY CAN'T I SLOT THINGS ON CHARACTERS AT HOME??? When I have a new character or new spells to slot, etc., I have to wait till I'm on an actual map.

The moral superiority of grids stands out once again.

A few highlights:

Brew Potions Background.jpg

Brew Potions from Background

Loremaster Natural Spell.jpg

Natural Spell no prereq (this is a big deal)

Loremaster Precise.jpg

Precise Shot no prereq also pretty nice

QStaffMaster Weapon.jpg

Quarterstaff Master Weapon (Holy is a good one and you want to design to crit a lot)

Axiomatic Dueling Sword.jpg

Can plan around for Dueling Sword playthrough

Ald11bigdamage.jpg

Doubled damage I think

Beating Saves on Hag.jpg

How can you beats these saves?

ald11tankinggiant.jpg

All these Aldori tanking pics she's on close to zero health though she's yet to hit zero let alone death. I'm still learning the class (forgot to get Image up with Bit of Fun here) and the Fighting Defensively package can also be clunky but also means she has insane staying power when it all kicks in.

Ald11Intimidation.jpg

Intimidation now in a sweet spot

wolj11Crippling Kiss.jpg

Wolj with his new Estoc. Sry Regill too much overlap with MC. You'll be along next time promise. About time to switch out Sosiel for Daeran as well too since Sos and Reg go together.

LoL just reminded me that there is a bug that just removes or maybe unequip cloaks and rings and amulets from your companions. It happened a few times in me game.
