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

[Reinhardt]

Taking suggestions on what people want to see

Suggestions you say? Do the gnome arcanist one, Phantasmal Mage.

Is that where you suggest gayest things? Dhampir wizard, probably.

ee above for ridonkulous Shout. Empowered + Max + Persistent Dragon Breath that bypasses SR should be no joke but maybe you Fear or use Debuff Enchants instead. Can also go off with Edge of Force shenanigans.

But mostly just heightened Shouts and relying on re-rolls?
Big Brain Reeeee build, fitting for Aivu-master I guess.

How many acrane pools is it to use all metamagic, so how many supra spells/day?

Better caster because 4 Insight AC

I did same with Octavia.

Ha! In PFK I dd a total respec of Octavia (incl stats) into a Sorcerer-based Arcane Trickster, it made her much more suitable for the sneak attack scorching ray/hellfire ray role, and I felt it suited her more rp-wise too.

I've now got another, semi-serious playthrough going with that incense alchemist, using autolevel for the companions - curious to see what Owlcat had in mind for them.

I don’t know yet, that’s why I test. If you want to double your spell damage with your ECB crit that’s going to take being in melee and that means you need some AC. Same with base Magus.

People destroy their builds for Crane Splashes. I trade in Wep enchants I’m not using. Seems better.

I always think with D&D games that the way they should be played is by building characters with 20 point buy, with the tabletop (Core here) rules, with maybe only like one neat trick/synergy and the rest purely based on rp.

While min-maxing tickles my fancy from one point of view, I always think the way these games were intended to be played was more in terms of dreaming up a character/personality/biography, and letting their combat capabilities be come what may, so that the gameplay is making the best of whatever hand fate has dealt (type of thing). Theoretically that ought to tune the difficulty just perfectly.

There is nothing arcane in cheating on your partner. Every woman can master it.

I mean if it'sa build then I expect some clear/speed sustainability sort of thing. So like you tele in, spellstrike-stun and then party disassembles the encounter, repeat. At which point AC boni shouldn't be so relevant, even though it's a neat bonus, of course.

I understand Azata (but fuck them) but I'd prefer roll a Magus that can strike with mythic spells or something (I plan frank frazetta death dealer lich with axe or scythe on a death mount, but that's roleplaying).

What is a good mythic path for Illusionist instant killer via PK/Weird?

Trickster I'm guessing?

 

[Sykar]

It increases DCs of spells?

I am not going to say it.

Trickster I'm guessing?

Only thing Trickster has is Completely Normal Spell Metamagic, does nothing but gives -1 level, so you can fill more. But isn't much. Maybe Persuade 1 Shaken.

[Nevermore]

They could have (...) made their own game/setting.

Considering the quality of the barony management and crusade minigame I'd prefer they didn't do that.

Their dev team worked on HOMM5 and other good TB I think, no idea why they couldn’t replicate that type of quality

Probably because they couldn't put all their efforts into that minigame.
When you spend several years creating a HoMM game, it would probably provide a solid gaming experience. But when you are creating a complex RPG and you also need to add a HoMM-like mode to it... well, you'll have probably 1-2 months to make it working. And an additional month of making it enjoyable. Which is still pretty far from standard 24-30 months of development.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

I will.
Barbarian

A Barbarian mythic path does sound nice.

 

[Fedora Master]

Do I understand this correctly: Monk Style Strike just gives a specific bonus to the first attack per round without any negatives?

Down the road, not across the street.

That and Demon could be good - but I hear the use of its abilities is extremely limited.

Only if you're unarmed, though.

Well, supposedly not as a sohei. That's pretty neat, free trips every round.

[AwesomeButton]

TB tends to get you thinking tactically about dealing with things in a spread - two attacking one mob here, a bit of cc over there, etc. Whereas with RTwP the tendency is to go all in on one mob at a time.

In RTWP with simultaneous rounds, your party's combined actions may prevent the enemy's turn from ever taking place.

 

[Cryomancer]

Taking suggestions on what people want to see - leaning toward Elf Spelldancer Azata.

Dhampir cruoromancer is the best IMO with the vampire king bloodline. A half vampire aristocrat using blood to make his necromantic magic even better. How not love it?

I would suggest :

• Background? Gebbian necromancer. Geb is a undead magocracy in Golarion
• Race dhampir
• Stats : Max INT everything else don't matter
• Deity : Any magical deity or atheism
• Alignment : Any evil. Preferentially chaotic evil.
• Mythic path? Lich and if someone mods a vampire mythic path, vampire.

 

[Haplo]

Gameplay question: I'm looking at the sohei monk. They get light armor and martial weapons. Apparently FoB then would work with 2 handed martial weapons but the light armor disables your Wis AC bonus. So should I just build the monk like a lightly armored fighter with high Str and Dex instead of Wis? Seems counterintuitive to not rely on THE prime Monk stat.

Wouldn't armor disable Flurry of Blows also?

I thought that too. But that doesn't work. Pummeling Bully does, though (but Sohei can't auto-qualify or pick it as bonus feats, still needs 6 BAB for Pummelling Style). Note Pummelling Charge does not work with weapons!

Damn, I think I need to go back to my Sohei. Despite the terrible Charge bugs, was more fun, I think.
Damn, and here I was finally ready to storm the Grey Garrison....

Marketplace area was really impressive btw. Visited 3 times and found new streets, enemies, challenges and loot on each subsequent visit.
