I think there is literally 1(one) important decision in all crusade system - when council asks which archers you want chose marksmen.

If you have two take Improved Initiative

I'd like to second this out. If you're unsure about the ruleset, so many things can go wrong before your turn and your AC is much lower. Improved initiative is a must for casters and just very nice for everyone else, I always try to squeeze it in for everyone that lacks uncanny dodge.

Does Selective work on Persistent effects?

Don't see why it shouldn't?

Said someone who keeps 3 different generals in crusade mode pretending it's HoMM.

I keep 2 generals, one being a wizard with 3 stacks limit, which sucks and the other one being also a wizard who for some reason has 4 stacks limit. If I had known the limit doesn't grow with general's level, I wouldn't have developed the 3-limit wizard to level 4. But as it stands, I need a second general just in order to store the stacks which I can't be used by my active general's army.

It's the Master of Maneuver skill, the first one can get it.

If you're memorizing Heals you're wasting valuable slots. And I mean really valuable. Divine Power is your Bread and Butter.

It's a personal quirk of mine, I dislike it at low level because it lasts only one minute. I usually slot it in around level 9 or so when it provides higher bonuses. I have it now and started using it since the end of act 2. Good spell, don't misunderstand me, it's just that sometimes it's better to just enemies bane--->charge during the surprise round to exploit low AC/ no AoO imho.

Edit: and then I only ever prepared like two cures on her lol, I said I took favoured meta extend for the buffs, I mainly prepare barkskin and elem. protection on her because my Druid was busy preparing anti-charge like stuff like stone call, at low level!

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

See I'm not sure that's the case. Persuasion 1 of course super handy but yeah by the time I have Greater Perception I'd have Frightful. Perception 1 I keep expecting to find extra hidden shit. Maybe there's some in Soana cave? Nature 1 random meal bonuses from P:K is all upside and I think sneaky good. Stealth 1 should be good right? I'm tanking so maybe defeats the purpose since I like the charge zerg. Religion/Athletics would depend on skill level. Mob 1 is great. I don't know I think I'm testing Nature 3 instead but will play with on a resave.

It always only lasts one minute. Think of it as a free ten rounds (twenty with extend Rod) of super-Rage with no downside. It's the heart of the Divine classes and kind of insane that she gets it.

Except you know you can cast it before combat, right? So you still Enemies Bane + Charge.

Aeon/Angel also get it (and Favor) so combine well with the Image base classes that don't.

 

[Reinhardt]

Technically i have 5 armies. 1 - my wizzord general, 2-4 - everything i don't care from reinforcements goes there and sits in capital, 5 - new archers and archer mercs who go and join 1 each week.

Selective Spell (Metamagic)

Your allies need not fear friendly fire.

Prerequisite: Spellcraft 10 ranks.

Benefit: When casting a selective spell with an area effect and a duration of instantaneous, you can choose a number of targets in the area equal to the ability score modifier used to determine bonus spells of the same type (Charisma for bards, oracles, paladins, sorcerers, and summoners; Intelligence for witches and wizards; Wisdom for clerics, druids, inquisitors, and rangers). These targets are excluded from the effects of your spell.

Level Increase: +1 (a selective spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.)

Spells that do not have an area of effect or a duration of instantaneous do not benefit from this feat.

But you're giving up your only Greater Trick (you get 10 practically at the end). World 3, UMD 3, Arcana 3, Mob 3 are insane in comparison.

Yes, I know it always lasts one minute. At level one bless is just better, as I said I do prepare it, you misread my initial post.

Imma be honest, after awhile of having so many "left-over" units I started suiciding them on the nearest Demon Army

It's a fourth level spell. You don't get it until level 7. But that's also where the good Heals would be that you're taking instead.

That's why I like three armies. Put all those slackas to work. With Mercenary Halls you end up with big enough stacks to make them effective. Mongrel Sharpshooters been going off.

 

[Matalarata]

Oh, sorry, yes I completely fucked up and was talking about a different spell. Yes, I have like 4 or 5 extended divine powers on Cam, was thinking about level 1 Divine Favour and I suddenly realized "Wait, Cam doesn't get level 1 Divine Favour..."


My bad.

 

[Parabalus]

You want 1 wizard general, with a full army in A3. In A5 you want the same wizard general with whatever, the spells do 100k damage.

Stack power from buildings and events.

no nearest demon armies except those who appear to siege forts

I just died from level drain as a Dhampir. Fucking spaghetti code. As I just reported this, wait as this bug will be fixed 3 years from now. But the fun AoO bug was fixed in less than 24h.

...

EDIT: proof

Spoiler

View attachment 20934

It's actually not a bug:

• Resist Level Drain (Ex): A dhampir takes no penalties from energy drain effects, though he can still be killed if he accrues more negative levels then he has Hit Dice. After 24 hours, any negative levels a dhampir takes are removed without the need for an additional saving throw.

The dialogue before this is even worse, of course the nature mythic path is the faggiest mythic path with the worst followers, didn't screenshot earlier dialogues.

Ok, I had a brainfart. By persistent I meant Persistent Spell metamagic. Which should work with Grease.

Now if you mean persistent ground effects, then according to the rules you quote, I guess Selective metamagic shouldn't work.
Though in Kingmaker with Eldritch Arcana I think it still did. Might be worth checking how they coded it in Wrath.

As for why these writers might be inclined to include some stronk wimmen:



Pls can include in DLC with Gunslinger class thx.

Wokels note second date. This waifu belongs making beautiful grandchildren not getting shot by deadender Krauts.
