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

[Parabalus]

Path is great both story and mechanics-wise

What are you playin as, if I may ask? Sorry if you already said it but I only make small forays itt to avoid soilers.

PC was martial, respecced a few times around variations of Mutation Warrior / Two-handed Warrior / Rowdy / Thug. Started as a Genderme but mounts were too janky.

Perception 2 gives insane feats for the whole team, but they can't be selected with any bonus feats, so they will burn a lot of them.

If you write scrolls with Metamagic, does that stick when casting them?

Yes, and in general scroll scribing in this game is like tactical nukes manufacturing. I won Wintersun village boss fight basically by casting one DC 35 slow from scroll.

Pretty sure the DC is bugged and too high.

Have to test it, but if everything works right it means you could get 24h Haste from Trickster with UMD 2.

Meh, all win more. Nothing other classes can’t do just as well if not better.

The Trickery Dispel is far and away the most meaningful ability along with the Arcanas. Perception 3 may well be worth it. Nature 1 gives each character a random cooking bonus from P:K.

Perception 3 is garbage, you get all the good Rank 1 Tricks.

Desiderius, since you rated my post were I explicitly referred to "a plain fighter" as fake news, I ask again, could you please elaborate on what you mean? I don't consider the later OP martial classes to be plain fighters if that's what you had in mind. Do you play the game as a single class fighter or barbarian?

Plain Fighter is insane. Wend with Dual Throwing Axes and Fighter’s Tactics + Seize the Moment + Greater Snap + Ever Ready is as good as it gets. And yes the Armor Training on that is better than Mutation.

Isn't her AB kinda low though? That was my experience.

Wow Fextralife makes some pretty mediocre build guides which are not well informed and yet they are pretty popular. I wonder why.




For example he wastes 3 points from level ups on dex but later asks people to go for SF:Evocation feats. Did no one tell him that losing level 7/8/9 extra slots and +2 DCs is kinda bad when you want to maximize your damge from reflex save spells?

 

[Desiderius]

Currently my main is motherless thiefling Vivi 8/Monk/Slayer(for funsie). Five attacks per round + gore from close to the abyss which I hadn't predicted going in blind, noice! AC at level 10 is just 48 but I have all my spells to increase prot so I'd say it's a tie. My main gripe is I have a bit of a low int to fully take advantage of the Trickster Mythic and I'd really, really, wanted to have the cha to intimidate eveyone and negate dex, but I suppose at that point I could simply use cheat engine.

Still, nice to see others breaking the game in diferent ways!

Five isn't that many not that melee necessarily needs them (in this game when you need them you really need them so better than P:K), the spells will get Dispelled not be up on ambush and yeah INT and skills are important.

Swordlord Trickster Halfling currently at 16 base INT.

 

[Desiderius]

Isn't her AB kinda low though? That was my experience.

Why would her AB be low? She's full BAB + Weapon Training + Dueling Gloves (there is even a version that's better than base if you have good skills) + Ever Ready + Mythic Greater Focus if you're on Hard.

Is metamagic grease worth investing in, especially if I don’t have ascended elements for my mages ?

There's... elevate? spell you could use to raise the DC, but I like the pit series more.

 

[Reinhardt]

Oh, desiderius ignoring me.

 

[Matalarata]

Five

Not five, six the spells I need more I usually can cast from scrolls before cutscenes* (a trick that works in KM too) and dispels are something you learn to live with, early on they only remove a single effect, really.


*or they last so long they are no-issues, like barkskin

 

[Sykar]

I... am speechless. This dude made a 9! hour 20 minute long video guide about classes and stuff:

 

[Reinhardt]

i ain't clicking this shit

 

[Danikas]

Dnd has changed a lot since I last played it.

 

[Reinhardt]

Now THAT'S proper numbers. Even Victor would be satisfied.

 

[Rafidur]

A few abilities have descriptions of "null", or "". There's also a guy that posted some lorem ipsum dialogue?

Yeah well I don't need to game the UI to live.

Maybe try it.

Oh, come on bro, as Monblut once told me, playing pnp is just trying to beat the GM at his own game. Call it gaming the UI if you so wish, it's not that I need to do that in order to win. The most important part is having 6 attacks, a smilodon and a battle scion to give everyone else pounce. Everything else is just winning more, sue me.

It's all clickbait brother. Homebrewed beats all of them. It's their job to suck enough that people feel smart improving on them.

Oh, come on bro, as Monblut once told me, playing pnp is just trying to beat the GM at his own game. Call it caming the UI if you so wish, it's not that I need to do that in order to win. The most important part is having 6 attacks, a smilodon and a battle scion to give everyone else pounce. Everything else is just wining more, sue me.

It's gaming the UI.

Copying meme builds is pretty much missing the point of the whole exercise.

You'll have a lot of fun after you figure that out.

 

[Matalarata]

Dude. I played KM multiple times. As martial. As wizard. As divine caster. I know PF in and out, I just play the game the way I like to play it, the fuck do you think you know about me?

Edit: also the day I'll need to copy a build for PF is the day I'll need a mercy lobotomy or some such.

How do you speed up movement on map? It’s too slow, I move like I’m in forest terrain

 

[cw8]

What did you guys do to

Spoiler

Nurah? I placed her in jail. Do I place her there forever?

 

[Parabalus]

Lots of descriptions with {Draft} as well.

Try pressing space.

I guess you mean Heighten.
Selective can be nice with Grease also. I think Persistent is in the game too? Or am I mistaken?

 

[smaug]

Can you not go back to Kenabres?

 

[Matalarata]

Selective can be nice with Grease also.

Selective is great with Web, I used it through all act 2 with great effect. I also tried givin Camellia the favoured metamagic Extend Mythic, since I'm more or less giving her all the buffs and heals, pretty satisfied with the results for now.
