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

[Daidre]

The bug I've been suffering from the most is trying to cast Cure X Wounds in TB combat. You waste one turn and one cast in order to cast it on the next turn.

Yeah, I am playing mostly RTwP but TB mode is another can of bugs altogether.

But I still had experienced at least one hilarious bug with TB - it always sets as default combat mode whenever I restart the game. Of course, there is an option to do exactly that in game settings, but I do not have it switched on, I've checked.

It almost like this game tries to imply something about my preferences.

My necromancer has finally gotten useful. The boosted skeletons are quite nice, and I got an AOE heal undead. Also can maximize lvl 3 animate dead with some rod. Also had to take in that manlet hellknight because of severe manpower shortages. The good thing is he's so small i don't even see him in the game, I only hear his banter.

 

[ArchAngel]

The amount of bugs is really exaggerated, it's nowhere near kingmaker.

Iceplant ring says it works, but it doesn't show the bonus. Ring of the Tiefling doesn't work. Charges work, when the game wants to. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Biggest bug I found is in TB combat where sometimes one of my characters gets to act twice. Also if I start turn based combat with Wenduag shooting missiles she does Manyshot and then TB mode strarts and if she gets Initiative and goes first she shoots automatically at same target and gets more than 1 attack even with that being a Surprise round.

IMPORTANT: keep the gay useless cleric! One of his council events gives +10 power

He is not useless in my game, I gave him Scribe Scroll and he makes me restoration scrolls when I am resting in city :D

The bug I've been suffering the most is fucking charge stopping without a reason 8 times out of 10.

Taking Spell Penetration at 1st level. Classic blunder.

I thought about that, trust me. "Why sould I take a feat at level 1 that improves my ability to bypass enemies' spell resistance when I won't be encountering any foes that even have spell resistance for at least three or four more levels?"

1) I'm LARPing it as part of intense preparatory arcane research at a wizard school

2) It was a bonus wizard feat

3) I'm p. sure this is a game about fighting demons and devils, so...

hope you set it on the lowest difficulty, this game is for munchkins

That must be why I'm playing the plainest human Paladin build I can think of and so far I've breezed through the first 3 chapters without a single problem.

This game is for munchkins because Pathfinder is in itself a system prone to munchkinism, nothing more than what was already expected from the moment they said "we are going to adapt Wrath of the Righteous with a lot of mythic paths".

That Reach healing Mythic ability is one solution. Another is to not cast spells using potraits, its it buggy in TB combat. Works normally outside of combat.

Is this in TB? I've only had to use charge 2-3 times in Ch. 1 and I haven't noticed problems yet.

On portraits - true. On the characters - sometimes fails there as well, but less often.

Can you venture a guess who at Owlcat is the midget fan?

I have yet to see it fail on characters, only if they are out of movement range. You cast as standard action, move as move and touch as free action. If you fail to touch, the healing spell is not wasted but goes into the middle list of abilities above the quickbar and can be used from there. That is how I healed people when I was stubbornly trying to use portraits during combat. In one patch they said they fixed portrait buffing but I guess not...

Exactly, PF:WoTR is a great power fantasy but not a great adventure per say.

But I disagree that Pathfinder is that prone to pun pun builds. I'm playing Kingmaker in unfair as a Thassilonian Specialist(necromancer), many people argue that Thassilonian specialist is the worst wizard specialization. And I'm having a lot of fun. Din't min maximized anything in my char. I'm not exploiting the broken sneak attack and picking AT levels.

Halfling prophet. You want all demons to die from laughter?

When I read Ember's exposition, I always think of that pre-release stream of Torment: Tides of Numenara, where Pat Roothfuss quite literally burst into tears over one NPC backstory. He was really living through it, and the average player would just rage over the shameless loredump. :D

The bug I've been suffering from the most is trying to cast Cure X Wounds in TB combat. You waste one turn and one cast in order to cast it on the next turn.

But isn't that exactly how the spells work?

Both harm and cure are cast and *then* you have to make a touch attack, i believe thats how it is written in the rules for the spell you can also see that it will happen due to the red circle on the target when trying to cast the spell. The reason why you cast it and can't get to the target is the lack of movement range, I am pretty sure you can even storage a harm or Cure spell in between fights, even though I believe you can not cast it without a target which means outside of TB combat that you will always resolve it.

Daerans "boundless healing" (i believe) also makes cure spells ranged which stops this from happening.

I thought the casting and the touch on a willing creature happen in the same turn. Yeah, boundless healing is the first thing I take with Daeran.

 

[Efe]

that reach calculation also fails when you want to interact with objects while mounted
sometimes game says, "you are in range, interact" and character cant reach, thus they get softlocked, unable to take any action until someone else clicks on that action and "frees" mounted character

LannTheStupid

1) I've realized the part of your nick now. I mean is it really....
2) I was in no way criticising the game while saying the stuff about the bombs. I like WotR very much, all these epic scale RPG's are my blood-group. Also I've realized that Owlcat has nothing to do with that, because the setting has been here for a long time. At least I suppose that in the original Wrath of the Righteous demons ran around rampantly as well.

I'm not trying to demean your report, but honestly, the number of bugs I've encountered per 30 hrs of gameplay is one. And it is a graphic glitch from one of the capes. Sometimes few pixels from it stretch over 1/4 of screen for a flicker of time.

 

[Rafidur]

Is lich fun? Is i good?

Yeah to both.

I can see 2 viable builds: some sort of shapeshiftin', chargin' death knight (pick the damage, -str on natural attacks, and the damage on each charge hit, and a way of getting pounce).

OR

Favored metamagic extend, the "buff lasts 24 hour" feats, and when your caster level hits... 25? you can give your entire team undead immunities and DR for 24 hours then support with spells like this

Which aoes for 465 damage once megamagiked, despite the description. All buffs like haste, greater invis, etc will last 24 hours. Having the whole team under haste and greater invis is funny because you can let them loose in real time on a map and most shit will run away as as your dudes spread out and slaughter the poor terrified demons.

Summons are good early but not worth the actions of your lich late game. Even pre-casted with all the feats the best they can be is meatshield at this point.

I'm running 24 hour buffs lich with sorcerer, though grey-fur might be better (if you can legendary proportions THEN turn them undead).

Only a detail. The spell description says that it has a damage cap of 150 but it doesn't exist. I managed to dish 480 damage with it.

As much as we like to think of powerbuilds you can faceroll the game with just a wizard if you are big brain spell man. My friend already finished the game and I am only on act 3.

Spoiler

I am waiting for Galfrey to come back to the capital is there a set time I wait or am I supposed to do something? Is my game borked?
