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

When you select an army which is in position to exchange units with another one, the "Exchange" button appears next to every army garrisoning a settlement, even if it can't exchange units.

Crusader Army IV can exchange units with Chief Ageboya, so selecting either of those two will display the button with two arrows, but it will also be displayed next to Crusader Army V, which can't really exchange units. Clicking the button next to Crusader Army V will instead open the interface to exchange units between Crusader Army IV and Chief Ageboya.

Also, I was able to open Crusader Army V's interface, drag a unit and drop it outside the window. Somehow this unit showed up in my "Reinforcements" army, which is some movement points away from Drezen, where the source army (Crusader Army V) resides :D

Great. I wish the game had somehow informed me that listening to the great military thinkers on my council would cripple my army's damage output.

For military events, right click on the purple highlighted part, then right click again on the troop type in the new popup to see what you get if you take that option. It's...needlessly obscure, tbh.

No, I think this happened as a consequence of the conversation I had in the first military council and going with Regill's advice. That it would take away my footmen was a complete surprise.

 

[purupuru]

Regill is right, you shouldn't rely on infantry for your army's damage output. Shield-bearers are perfect for a mage general.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Yeah, what I'm doing now is blast with the general and archers while keeping the archers surrounded by shieldbearers and hellknights. BTW how do I split a unit in two parts? Shift + drag?

 

[BarbequeMasta]

Regill is right.

As allways.

I hope the next game is shorter with a more down-to-earth setting. These epic stories are starting to get tiresome. When you blast through demon lords and the likes like a hot knife through butter repeatedly, it sort of losses its heroic appeal. Late game third edition is also too bloated for my tastes. The incrementing of my BAB, AC, saving throws and spell DC entertains me only for so long, it doesn't carry a game by itself. The story starts out good but the tension of being overrun by a demonic hoard doesn't work if you gut them by the dozens without breaking a sweat. And the hole, youre gonna die if you do nothing against the rift, also doesn't work. It's easily ignored, only the scripted sequences remind you of its existence. I liked it quite a bit at the beginning but like the first game it overstays its welcome. Still a recommendation if you liked BG1/2, NWN1/2 and the first game. But it does little to improve on them, except for "character-build-porn". Also not recommended if you are a completionist but hate memory style puzzles, in that case you might want to skip The Enigma location/Nenio companion quest.

Does picking mythic powers for the first time, after Gray Garrison, lock you out from the other paths further on?
The first trickster power (mirror image) seem to complement my tank the most, but I might not necessarily want to align myself with the trickster faction.

It's so simple, I explained this to streamer, even when I didn't play the game.

why waste an army slot?

I currently have 93 shieldbearers, 40-something hellknights, 13 or so champions and 93 archers. I added the champions because I wanted to have my archers in a corner on the map surrounded by other units on all sides.

I thought the same as you and picked the mirror image instead of the additional demonic attack because I thought it was needed for trickster.
Apparently its not needed.

Also its a bit useless because as trickster you get access to mirror image later, so meh.

Do we know all the Optional Bosses there are are in Chapter 1? I'm aware of

Spoiler

The vrock you have to summon and the post-defense nabasu in the marketplace.

What other ones are there?

 

[Thonius]

that crossbow which wounds Deskari

Anyone knows what happens if you DON'T shoot?

Spoiler

Do you still get the purple knife? Any other changes?

He cast false life spell on you and I think you won't find a bolt at square later on. Plus they mention it. Not sure if any other changes.

 

[LannTheStupid]

When the main character falls into the rift, he has Feather Fall cast on him.

Also, it's so satisfying to both finagle 200 gold from Anevia and prevent Seelah from exhaustion by only 1 check.

 

[The_Mask]

What other ones are there?

As far as I know, none.

Succubus is optionally isn’t it? At Irabeth’s house?

Bolt is still there.

Chivarro fight might be the hardest fight I have encountered so far. Cannot do shit vs the babau infiltrators, bbl (hope I get a level or some gear to deal with it)

 

[Raghar]

Everyone says that wizards are OP, but this game seems way easier in melee. In fact, most CRPG's are.

It's a bullshit from people who are frequently resting, reloading, and know how would that combat looks like.
In this game you frequently have spell resistance 19.

Spell resistance is not an issue, or it is only an issue early game. And even then your main control spell (grease) doesn't even require a spell res check. Between spell pen feats, elf racials, mythic spell pen, and a lot of mythic path related abilities that give you extra way of going over spell res, spell res is just not an issue. Not to mention the game gives you access to a lot of spell pen gear at vendors (a robe in A2, googles and 2 rings in A3), that's + 7 only from vendor gear. You should try and actually play a caster instead of just repeating reddit circlejerks. And yeah surprise surprise, for your caster to do something, you need to buy him gear.
The main hard thing casters have to deal with are immunities and wizard are well equipped to deal with that since they can change their spell list with a rest.

So instead of playing powerful mage, I should play a person dependent on a powerful items?

I guess playing a person who looted whole city and can shower stuff with looted money is possible.

Looter Mage should be a special race dependent subclass.

Woljif caught a nasty disease and I ignored it because I did not intend to use him after the tavern siege.
He died because of the stat drain. But that didn't stop someone from dragging his lifeless corpse to Daeran's party.

 

[Cyberarmy]

What difficulty were you on?

Always on core, can't be arsed on hard/unfair.

 

[ArchAngel]

Now that I am playing around in Abyss city I can say that this game is copying BG2 a lot. Abyss city is basically Drow city from BG2. It also happens at same time in the story. And the Mythic paths are basically Strongholds from BG2, they got about same amount of content.
And spellcasters are cheating like in BG2 with casting lots of buffs and spells at same time. And in most battles enemy casters also fuck me up.

On Core this game is much harder than PK1, at lvl 15 in PK1 was strolling through content easily.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Are they rebalancing enemies constantly or something? I don't remember having problems with Pain Connoisseur incubus, but now I had to turn on TB.

Edit: Or maybe not. I think he just wasn't able to cast buffs last time.

 

[Sharpedge]

They have been rebalancing enemies in the downward direction.
