Also, damn. Won't spoil it, but the ending of Regill's companion quest if he approves of you is 10/10. Truly a great character.

Exception to this is charging. That should not be possible even through friendly characters. but I'm pretty sure it is in the game. But then charging has bigger issues than that right now.

Charging trough friendly characters definitely isn't possible in Wrath. Its extremely tricky and buggy in general (at least mounted on a large size mount).

Welp, looks like you don't get to bang Nocticula unless you avoid using your Demonic Rage whenever it would benefit you in conversations, and instead take the subservient option most of the time instead. Fuck that. At least I still get to rule Alushinyrra, and once she ascends to godhood I might as well take over all of the Midnight Isles.

Just for fun I tried actually killing her. Cha based 43 fortitude save or be instantly charmed/paralyzed, with no way to avoid it other than beating the roll, while she mows you down with 6+ attacks each dealing 90-120 damage. I think it is truly the smarter choice to not betray her, and not becoming her boytoy either.

Speaking of smart, all these attribute bonuses stacking gets pretty ridiculous at some point.

I recall reading attribute descriptions - may have been in relation to Planescape - where it said "Charisma 20: Your voice can bring a battle of the Blood War to a sudden halt."

Stats like that put you firmly in a league with atropals or Prime Elementals.

I've got his approval despite being chaotic good azata. Was pleasantly surprised that he managed to overcome our ideological differences for the common good.

As a Trickster you also get to

fight her (the reason why is hilarious), but you have the immortal Council helping you, so it's a bit easier. She drops an extra crystal for Demons/Tricksters.

I was trying to figure out why that furry-wizard seems so fucking familiar, like I've seen that character before somewhere, with the same style of VA...and then it fucking hit me.

Strap Yourselves In Pathfinder: Wrath
I am in the Borg Dungeon now, that is kind of a slog way too many hp sponge enemies with Regen and using sub-optimal spells (I literally have to jolt them to death with my main, as I do not have electric spellsm yay) and equipment to deal with that is annoying. But that may just be because I am used to finger of Deathing everything I see and having it insta-explode.

I think other than that I am basically done with Act 3, building the Ziggurat and Pillar of Skulls has made Crusade progression rather slow (37 Days build time for both)

Use Coup de Grace with your martials when they're down. If they fail the Fort save they exploide.

Why did they used the same world for second game?
Because some people don't know game developing. A small introduction into basics.

A normal RPG game tend to be self-containing story. It's nearly impossible to create decent story after player finished the first one, when first one allowed player characters to have a noticeable impact on the area. Sequel for a game isn't a movie where when writers write themselves into the hole in the first movie, they write themselves out of it in the second movie.

Typically a sequel puts a character into area where nobody is hating him yet. Or use completely different set of characters, and nobody talks about first set.

For normal GM creating all needed stuff for a new adventure in different world is about 2 months of part time work. SO WHY CAN'T THEY?

2e scale was a little different.

20 charisma in pathfinder is described as: "Life of the party, able to keep people entertained for hours".

Well, you can blow up Megaton and improve Moira. You can chitchat with her later.

Yes. In 2e, anything above 18 is superhuman. Deity avatars tends to have stats in 20s at max 25.
