Only I don't get why OwlCat capped the animation increase for turn based to merely 3x? How I'm supposed to play as a necromancer in TB without 10x animation speed?
1. Necromancers play RTwP.
2. Cheat Engine exists, but it might screw up your game.

I only play TB when I use domain of the hungry flesh, sirroco and other spells, cuz my party members love to go in a suicide rush towards my area of death. If they had better AI, I would't even toggle TB.

Just turn their AI off and manually control them. It's the first thing I do in any of these games.

They have good A.I.

If you tell them to "Hold" (press the "H" button) they will stay and only use the weapon that can reach the enemies. A melee fighter will not make a step after the combat started if on hold. Of course, you need to remember this and remove hold if you want them to attack. This and auto pause at the end of the turn would be enough for most of the players; however, I like to pause much more frequently.

It seems you need Selective Spell metamagic.

If you guys played you would know that Archmage only works on caster itself...
1 level dip into any arcane caster. It's a lvl1 spell.
Fuck that. That means you lose lvl 20 fighter ability for bonus critical damage. And you don't really need archmage armor when you got access to mithril full plates. Mythic ability for +1 better armor at Mythic 10? No tnx.

Can someone please be so kind to remove this moron from this topic?
He is just trolling and doing it extremely bad.

Never thought that i would ask for this, but this moron is really outdoing anyone with bullshit he makes on spot.
Spoken like a true Biden voter calling for cancel culture once you figure out you are intellectually inferior.

Well, the Mutation Warrior sure is simpler and more straightforward. While being damn solid.

Not sure if that's the case. Animal Growth doesn't stack with Barkskin for example. And Barkskin doesn't stack with ammys, obviously.
I THINK Transformation also no longer stacks, but I'm not exactly sure.

rtwp is a lot faster (would not be surprised if it halves the play time), but a lot less fun.

:desiderius intensifies:

That's not true, RTWP is the most fun anyone can ever have. Nothing better than watching your guys go on autopilot and gib enemy after enemy. If your party can't do that then something's wrong.

You misunderstood the joke/reference. Desiderius would often go on sperg-rants chastising people who played turn-based.

Guys, I recruited undead Ciar, should I use him mounted on the horse or on foot?

I will make him a two handed falchion death knight. I know that falchions aren't the best weapon to specialize with feats and mythic feats, but I like the concept of him using this type of weapon and I play to get fun, getting fun with a interesting char build is much more important for me than bigger numbers.

On-foot. His horse sadly isn't as undead as he is, and will inevitably end-up wracked with exhaustion trying to keep-up with the tireless party of zombies it's stuck with. Gasping for a death that will never come.

It was funny watching it get paralyzed mid-charge though, it's mortality rendering it victim to what it's rider boasts immunity to. I liked to imagine Undead Ciar impotently flailing his sword in the air as his horse stands ramrod-stiff, while Staunton, Kestoglyr and Skeleton Champion rush past him and into battle.

Threshold really is such a shit dungeon. Literally a hallway with the same 4 enemies (marilith, roided af gallu, bug demon and succubus) every encounter, sometimes with swarms or a balor, the succubi shoot through walls and the gallus fart out 1000 cold cones a second. Buggy as shit too: when the B-Team defended the camp, Woljif was uncontrollable for some reason and after a while my PC just showed up out of nowhere. Now, best case scenario is that they half assed the endgame in order to devote more time to the DLC campaign but we haven't seen anything so far, so for all we know they might've just gotten tired.

They're hard at work, eh?

Well before the holidays, the game used to get patched like every week almost, though really most bugs should've been taken care of before release.

Falchions are good for crit builds, because you can get a crit threat range of 15-20 with them if you invest the right feats.

I love using that spell with Wolfjin in tougher battles. He becomes a beast and no longer misses.

No, wtf. His horse is no less powerful than any other horse of any other mounted character. Yes it does not have some immunities but you can grab Mythic companion for more stat boosts and grab Improved Will saves and it can be buffed with spell as well as Ciar. Also while Ciar is mounted his enemies don't target him, they all target the horse so you can ignore Ciar's AC and can go full DPS. Also there is that spell that gives anyone undead abilities for 10 minutes per level, I think that can be used on a horse as well.

Isn't it possible to make his horse an undead horse so that negative energy will heal it? Or an undead companion comes with a live mount?
