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

[Sharpedge]

Sharpedge its impossible, the videos you mention on youtube are all using mods.
The only way to win solo is to spam skull traps/delayed fireballs using wish, basically avoiding the fight. If you use SCS cant even do that because skull traps changes.

You can also do stuff like abuse wish to refresh all of your spells.

Well you are clueless it seems.
Why don't you try and record it? Good luck.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I am not here to prove stuff to random people on the internet. If believing that its not possible makes you happy, then more power to you, but there are lots of ways to cheese game mechanics in BG 2 and only some of them are fixed by SCS.

You clearly never played Ascension, so instead of proving something you just want to waste my time arguing about something you have no idea, just some vague recollection of youtube videos.
Kill yourself (in minecraft), thanks.

 

[Shadenuat]

I don't believe there's anything impossible even in modded BG. They are too broken and abusable.

But such examples are why I don't like it: overleveling, kiting, bug abuse; instead of building a strong balanced party of fun characters.

Give munchkins a finger and they will eat arm and shit all kinds of ugly monsters and chimeras after.

I think you are mistaking munchkins with camellia.

Now I see why everyone is whining about the Crusading minigame, holy hell this is hot garbage. My third fight is against 27 stone gargoyles. A full turn of my entire army blasting away doesn't even kill one of them. They however do so little damage, that my hero can outheal their dps from 2-3 turns in a single turn. I can heal for 13 turns. So it is 54 rounds of just hacking away at them, healing once in a while before a stack dies, without any chance of loss and only absolute boredom. Also the animations are slow.
Who the fuck designed this?

I could definitely take levels of sohei with another animal companion class taken at first level. You just need to wait for it to grow large at level 7 to ride it, which kinda kills the early game power of mounted combat sadly.

Sohei is weird imo, doesn't feel like a mounted class. Monks are a class that stacks AC the best in the game but it's kinda useless on sohei since you wanna be riding. If monastic mount applied your monk bonus AC to your pet instead of giving temporary hitpoint that would make so much more sense.

You don't need to spend Ki for that! Sohei adds his Wis AC to mount by default (+level bonuses)!
Initially I thought it wasn't working, as the bonus is not displayed (neither on Sohei himself), but when you calculate the total, it's there!

Interesting that you could make a Sohei with a non-horse mount.

Don't tell me you are playing with a non-mage general.

BG2 + ascension is easier with a party than solo (actually impossible solo).

BG2 with difficulty mods was very doable until I reached the Irenicus fight and just got 300% fucked.

 

[Stoned Ape]

But early game you'll just run in Mage Armor. So picking aa at level 1 seems like a waste, pick it when you find armor/or 1 level before HS.

True, but if you're a male mage you'll then be forced to cross-dress until that point.

Personally, that's a sacrifice I'm unwilling to make.

 

[Rusty Eyes]

Could anyone describe the Renegade Aeon path? What does it entail? What unique content it carries? Et cetera.

 

[Shadenuat]

Robes are NOT cross dressing!

A hint. Have a caster General and just spam fireball, ice storm or scorching ray at ultra low level

 

[Shadenuat]

At least one place where casters are truly superior.

I really don't know what they were thinking with the whole thing. You'd have to spend a ridiculous amount of time time to get a worthwhile stack of anything beyond the starter mercenary units or basic bitch footmen/archers. The buff and debuff spell effects feel negligible, it's nothing like bless/curse and blind in HoMM3. You are also limited to 3 unit stacks by default for no apparent reason so you can't do the cheese like in HoMM3 by using bunch of weak stack to eat away retaliation (a mechanic that doesn't exist here) or protect ranged units by surrounding them. Meanwhile the direct damage spell numbers are absolutely bonkers and they essentially trivialize combat if you picked the general that has the flare spell from the start.

I have a fatal weakness against hot elf girls which now comes to bite me in the back.
Is there any reason to level up my ranger at all? 13 heals per combat seems broken as they can heal a fuckton, one extra stack seems nice aswell, but I got fuck all for damage skills.

Got into a random encounter with a Deskari Devaatator and 2 ash giants

been stuck on the encounter for 20 mins

Even in turn based it’s insta high initiative and cleave my whole party to death and confuse because it’s DC to save is too high

who designed this

While I certainly enjoy the build autism I start to get the feeling that this game wasn't as much designed, and they just threw shit at a wall and hoped that something sticks.

Casters are superior on everything. This is why magocracy is the rightful form of government.

 

[CodexTotalWar]

I'm confused about something else. I've been using Finnean and I've never seen an AC debuff appear in the combat log from him (yes, I know it should ignore ac from actual armor). What am I missing?

Is your Finnean the +1 or the +3 version?

The +1 version only has the Ghost Touch property. It later gets upgraded to the +3 version which gives it the Brilliant Energy property. That's the one that bypasses armor and shield.
