why not set the DC of mythic spells on the highest Spell level you can cast at this CL requirement.
I disagree tbh. That bonus should still require the usage of metamagic. It shouldn't be free. But yes, scaling from attribute bonuses is the bare minimum.

Yeah what I mean is not have them scale Solely on mythic and have an actual attribute modifier there. Mythic levels come real slow, you play the most chunky acts of the game with 3-5 (4-5 with optimized route)

Retarded to see idiots talking about azata being weak at DCs, like wtf? Its literally the BEST path for a dc caster. Permanent persistent spell on everything you cast which is I believe equivalent to +5 dc, +2 dc to will saving throws (ode to miraculous magic spell 10 min/level), +2 to all dcs (believe in yourself +4 morale bonus to int 10 min/level), +2 dc to all spells (songs of steel 1 rnd/lvl). What other path can really compete with that in terms of dc casting? Demon with its +8 dc I believe still falls short. As far as I know lich doesnt have much of anything to increase dcs.
Yeah persistent spell on any spells except any hazard spell, and Ode to miraculous magic doesn't work and only gives Spell res bonus, the will saving throw DC bonus does not work. Try it, it does not.
Believe in yourself you get later. Now I am not saying Azata is weak, it is strong. In fact it is a well designed path that have good things for many archetypes. The point is Lich is just flat out, so much better for casters. Who cares about auto persistent when you get about 4-5 Spell progression levels by picking lich and get insane mythic spells at that because of spellbook merging. While azata gets auto persistent which is great Lich basically gets to cast spells that are 3 spell levels higher for most of the game.

The funniest part about this discussion regarding spell DCs is that if you play on unfair, unless you go the expanded arsenal bug abuse route you won't be able to land any DC based spells on enemies anyhow. With a DC of 74 on illusion spells there are still enemies which can make the will saves. The main reason angel and lich are so good, aside from massively boosting your CL, is because the angel and lich specific spells are good even if the enemy makes a save. I mean look at spells like this:

Good old, "save and do the same thing to the enemy." Or bolt of Justice which deals 1d12 damage/CL to the enemies which matter and a reflex save only prevents the enemy from being proned.

You guys do realize 1d12 is 6.5 damage in average, don't you? So at caster level 20 with save it will be around 130 fire dmg and without it 120 dire dmg + 120 holly damage.

If you merge spellbook, the minimum caster level to cast a tier 10 spell is 28. So, is AT LEAST 28d12 in a AoE with no risk of team harming. Other tier 10 spell

Unfair stats are absolutely retarded in the lategame from what I have seen and you have to have an absolutely optimized team. Although you can land DC spells with a good saving throw debuff team. But Unfair is so stupid in wrath, which I guess is the point - Beating unfair with a non spellbook merge mythic (Gish or full caster) is probably a challenge of the hair-pulling sort.

It was the only screenshot of an angel spell I had on hand. Storm of Justice is the same thing, but a level 8 spell and you can empower+maximize it with rods. In addition, as Meredoth pointed out your CL on merged casters is >20.

I hope that the in game mod support allows you to easily re write in game stuff like NWN2.

I will gonna make a cryomancer homebrew class similar to this homebrew > https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Cryomancer_(3.5e_Class)

there is ingame mode manager?

Not yet. IDK when it will come.

But I will only try to write mods for this game once the DLCs launches. Now I can just work for nothing.
