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

Could someone please remind me the rules for splitting ranger favored enemies if one of existing favored enemies covers almost all of the enemies in a particular module? I think I read it somewhere here, but now I cannot find it.

Huh? So far I saw Demons - Humans - Undead- Outsiders - Elementals-Beasts? I think.. in that order. Lots of humans to fight so far and undead, some of them are gyga nasty.

Stringy Demodand: ~500xp (level fucking 20)
Rando nabasu in the same area: ~1500xp (level 12 or so)

That stringy demon was harder to

And since I'm almost done with the Abyssal city, guess I have to wait for the next patch until I can push onwards. Oh well.

I think they already put out a hotfix for this patch. At least Nocticula is supposedly fixed.

Are they still complaining about dex builds being "too OP?"

Also, didn't expect both Areelu and Nocticula to be so likeable and down to earth.

Why it has to be a f****** sai of all things...

Annah-of-the-Shadows build? :D

Should've played a monk.

 

[Desiderius]

No, if you have it, it's equipped on slot 4.

I don't have it. Guess I must've sold it.

Can someone tell me in spoiler tags what I miss if I don't have it when the Storyteller asks for it in the mage tower?

Hah I must have missed that too. Once you can unequip it I rarely keep it.

That’s how they make the not so hot weapons appealing. Some really good Starknives and a sick Trident.

Should've made it into a quest item or at the very least into a relic since I tend to keep those.

Do I need angel to save Kyado (Cleric in Erastil's Temple?) He dies to the rat curse if I go down there. Or can I help him later if I find the Zandres chick in Ivory Sanctum?

Benching my Lich in Act V until the bugs with it's conclusion get resolved and I figure out if it's possible to do it in a means that doesn't leave you with Zacharius' ultimatum. But the DL on the Lich companions is thus:

Spoiler

Staunton: Warpriest, Act 3, impossible to miss.
Delamere: Slayer, Act 3, in the Temple of Erastil's Basement.
Ciar: Cavalier, Act 3, finish his acolyte's little quest in Wintersun and then talk to the Pillar then gloat to his face.
Kestolgyr: Fighter, Act 4, conclude that little Airship-Vignette with you either alerting the fortress beforehand or getting captured.

Starting over with an Azata in the meanwhile, Bard/Knife-Fighter.

Zacharius did his ultimatum too, but i had the option to convince him immediately to give back the philactery and consider pc as ally.

So Lich path is still bugged? I was keen to do that in my first run but then I saw mentions of bugginess so decided to leave it till later when patches + DLC etc.

Kind of regretting it now, some of these companions would truly be a joy to kill if thats what you do as Lich.

 

[Agame]

On the theme of Lichdom, what would be a good class/combo for a Death Knight character concept? I like the idea of a heavy armored warrior who can also cast spells as transition into Lich path. Any ideas? My DnD knowledge is fairly rudimentary so all the class options in this game beyond warrior/wiz/rogue/cleric etc are rather confusing.

Sorcerer/Hellknight signifier? The BAB doesnt look that great to me and waste rounds doing attacks instead of casting seems wasteful, unless you dip 1 level into Magus.

I booted up the save and the most glaring issues (enemies refusing to die, your new model having the wrong texture) were fixed. Most of my consternation now is what acts are required to get the optimal conclusion at the very end, I think there's some threshold of ruthlessness you have to pass before you can get the Phylactery without having to debase yourself.

Well, Galfrey is LG, I doubt SHE would put up with something like that either.

This soldier sure likes Galfrey:

You could always just go Magus: Eldritch Scion. Abyssal is a good route for that since you could get away with putting points into CHA instead of STR and still of sufficient STR or just go all STR and try to play around with the touch casting in heavy armor.

Also, since the Storyteller asked for it and I didn't have it on me, is it possible that I've accidently sold the purple stone knife? Doesn't appear as a quest item in my inventory.

If you pick the Aeon option on the wardstone, you use the knife and won't be able to get it back.

Wizard 5/ Hell Knight Signifer 4/ Eldritch Knight 10/ Loremaster 1 is a good gish build, especially with lich. Will let you cast in mithral full plate, would end with a caster level of 29 if you merge spellbooks, and can do well in melee as well.

Additionally, you could drop a HKS level, and take a dip into Trad Monk to get flurry of blows and use a quarterstaff as your main weapon. Would have 6 attacks while hasted that way, 3 of them at full BAB, with the added bonus of being able to use a staff that also boosts your spell pen and dcs. And you can pick up a free crane style as well.

Ah, right. Thanks for clarifying since that's what I did.

OK, let me rephrase the question.

I saw this comment on Reddit:

Q: What's up with the new Favored Enemy Demon of XXX?

A: Pathfinder guidance, if a species is so common in a campaign that one FE would cover them all, the FE is to be split. Which is why "humanoids" has about 7 different subgroups for FE. So Demonslayer, for example, has all 3 subtypes as automatic FE. But can't gain any others. Because, in the context of Wrath, the only other FE you really would want is Human.

The author of the reply did not provide any links to confirm his words. My question is: is there such a guidance from Paizo anywhere online? I cannot find it.

I love how during the "conversation" with Shamira, where she tries to pry the information about the Crystals from your mind, she keeps casting a variety of spells on you during the conversation, but you don't actually notice it during the dialogue. I wondered at first why my base will save was -1 on the third check, turns out she Mind Fogged me during one of the earlier checks and casted another Will save debuff on me as well. What a cunt.
