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

[The_Mask]

I'm playing Azata (Freebooter Ranger) and I gave Sosiel Animal Domain through Mythics. So now he's riding a boar.

For the high AC, of course.

whats a good class for demon path?
did we have mythic abilities listed somewhere on web?

 

[Reinhardt]

After picking lich path the game offered me merged or separate spell books. At the time there was no indication that this had any gameplay effect so i picked separate spellbooks. Now I find out there are massive benefits to having a merged spellbook and the fucking game didn't bother to mention it!!
Is there anything I can do now to merge the spellbooks or do I have to reload?

Maybe it's too early for you to play casters if you didn't know it's useful before?

Reload. Or, if you want to gamble on your game progress - respec.

Ti's an outrage :D ! Immediately on it.

 

[Sharpedge]

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).

Lich has a lot of options. Here is a weird idea someone had which (admittedly is very poorly optimized and would in my opinion work better as arcane trickster) does a lot of damage.

You shouldn't have to reload. Information pertinent to playing the game should be available in game.

None of the classes really work that well with demon. It has some minor synergy with kineticist (the 1 demon aspect that gives a free AoO when you attempt a combat maneuver works with Kineticist CMs on blasts and you can get free ranged AoO blasts from it) and it also has some minor synergy with casters (aspects that give + to DCs and - to enemies saves, as well as roll twice take best result stuff). It has negative synergy with any class that has rage, because demonic rage and rage cannot be active at the same time. It does have a lot of item support however and I think that if you go with the items, what is potentially the best way to go is either an arcane trickster focusing on dealing damage with rays, or some sort of ranged throwing weapon build.

The biggest problem with demon is that 90% of its bonuses only apply when you are raging, but you can only rage a very limited number of times per day, so either you rest spam or you play basically without a mythic path.

 

[Nerevar]

All these cloud spells the enemies have is there a zone of sweet air type spell?

 

[Sharpedge]

Life bubble, cleric spell

 

[Nerevar]

Cool I'll add it to my buff list....

Hmmm. Is using buffbot casual?

 

[ga♥]

If you say "no casual" it is not casual.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. It seems there is actually an advantage to having seperate spell books which is that you get more spell slots in total. But that's complete shit compared to combining and adding the caster levels together.

 

[Cryomancer]

But that's complete shit compared to combining and adding the caster levels together.

When I played beta, I could't merge spellbooks.

 

[ga♥]

Why only angel/lich can merge spellbook anyway? Why not trickster? Is there any official explanation?

 

[Cryomancer]

Why only angel/lich can merge spellbook anyway? Why not trickster? Is there any official explanation?

Only Angels can cast tier 9 divine spells and Liches can cast tier 9 arcane spells.

 

[Deadyawn]

I'm currently a level 10 scroll savant, I've already got everything I need from this class but I'm unsure on how to proceed. Any suggestions?

So what? Can't merge anyway even if no lvl 9 spells?

 

[The_Mask]

I just got Aru.

*sizes succubus*

Dam' baby... those...



... stats!

*sizes succubus again*

Dam' baby... dat...



... spellbook!

 

[Thonius]

I'm currently a level 10 scroll savant, I've already got everything I need from this class but I'm unsure on how to proceed. Any suggestions?

Either take 10 more levels of wizard or arcane trickster or eldritch knight, or loremaster. Or barbarian, I heard they mix well with wizards, really uh strong uh synergy.

 

[LannTheStupid]

What I saw on streams (spoiler) is that using Demon alibities sometimes require passing Will saves. So I am going to play as an Empyreal Sorcerer with high Wisdom and see where it goes. I have no idea what it will look like, but I'd like to try.

Also, a Neutral Evil being with Celestial bloodline sounds fun.

He would need to dip into something to have unlocked AT, so 10 levels of AT is not possible. For EK he would have had to have taken feats for that already, same with loremaster. Unless he had already planned around a specialist path, in my opinion he should just keep going wizard.

Hmmm. Is using buffbot casual?

I would say that at this stage of the game fixes it is more dangerous than casual. It goes deeper into the game bowels than other mods, and I don't know if the author made it compatible with Owlcat Games mod template that they suggest to use.

 

[Joggerino]

I don't have a single save between picking the seperate spellbook and the gray garisson quest. Fuck my life
