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

[Gangrelrumbler]

The issue here was in every fight someone casted grease on the floor and everyone would fall down, both my guys and the enemy without any ability to stand up.

Seems like your standard grease experience. Also you can always just dismiss AOE spells you've cast via standard action. The only trick is to remember which wizard cast which spell.

What can I say, Nenio and a Reinhardt self-insert are meant for each other.

And on that note, Nenio's joining of the party is a literal comedy sketch. Don't want that shit in an otherwise serious CRPG story (which doesn't mean that the game can't be humorous in other ways without trying to pull a bad Monty Python).

I told her to go to hell. Which in this case was across the street.

Beginning of the game is pretty gay but it gets better. Gotta say I am hooked. Soundtrack fits the situations well. I especially fancy when metal-esque songs start to play.

Like... absolutely for real?

 

[LannTheStupid]

Apparently that was already known in beta and none of our codex champions warned anyone as usual.

Because such obstacles should be appreciated and not reported as bugs. Especially for a Lich; what, you were expecting un-life to be easy?

 

[Alienman]

Is there a weapons merchant in the tavern? I need my kukris.

Outside in the courtyard there is a dwarf selling stuff.

 

[Alienman]

Is it just me or is turn based mode pretty wonky? Units on both side seem to frequently avoid unit collision. Mousing over enemies with bows/spells sometimes triggers AoOs out of sequence.

It still feels like how it's meant to be played though.

Yes, unit collusion has been turned off for some reason. Monsters just walk through their friends to get to you. I hate it. What's the point of chokepoints now?

 

[smaug]

BTW, I din't liked lich transformation, but lich powers are amazing. You can reanimate even the supreme Bitch

Heh.
So that's how their promised romance option looks in the morning without makeup.
All you need is some lichdom to reveal it.

All more reason to romance Daeran.

Never said that, who are you quoting?

I picked a Grenadier, as I enjoyed playing one in Kingmaker. But I'm beginning to wonder about the discoveries I should pick this time.

In Kingmaker, picking acid bombs was a waste. They were useful against the special trolls of chapter 2, but that's pretty much it. I found it better to stick to normal bombs until I could pick force bombs.

In WotR, I guess we'll be fighting creatures like demons fairly often, and demons often have elemental resistances in D&D/Pathfinder. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them were quite resistant to fire.

So I'm considering picking a discovery that'll allow me to use acid, cold or lightning bombs. Are there some elemental resistances that are especially common among the enemies encountered in the first chapters of the game ?

 

[Nikanuur]

Trivia: The word Seelah (meaning the pronounced sound) means "strenght" or "power" in our language, sometimes in street-talk it's also an awe interjection. I wonder whether that was deliberate from Owlcat. I vaguely recall some other Slavic easter-eggs references from the P:K.

Grenadier here as well, I feel you. I hated how in early 5 hours 80% of all damage resistant creatures have 10 fire, acid, cold, and most of companions have fire / acid based damage spells. So I've picked shock bombs. ...erm... only to find out that I've missed the Immunities: Electricity text under it. AAAAAAAARRRGGH.

Not when literally everyone is lying on the floor and saving to stand up is literally impossible.

I had no issues with autocasts before this battle.

Alchemists are stupid and all righteous men hate them. Vivis are the worst.

It's not true at least not entirely. There's a guardroom at the end of the garrison with some demons, cambions, minotaurs and I just positioned my party at the door and they had to fight me 2 at a time.

Having multiple party members finally makes sence when you let one team rest while continue exploring with the others as the MC chugs bottle after bottle of restoration potions on his 2-day sleepless amphetomine crusade

Unholy bombs? Everything is kinda unholy in demon land.

Vivisectionists are so different from normal alchemists that they might as well be a completely different class.

Grenadiers want to blow stuff up and leave charred remains in their wake ; I don't see what could be more righteous than that.

 

[Reinhardt]

My party right now - 7, 4, 6, 16, 2 hp. Still didn't rested after marketplace. No potions, no spells. Fox - full hp. She didn't lied whe she said she leaves boring battle stuff to me.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Oh, I know. They also expect compensation for whatever it is they do, it's never enough to do it altruistically. I have a tabletop adventure in which I explicitly tell the players they will give up their loot in order to save a character's life and in the two times we played it (with different people) nobody did it. After that, one of the players told me how he expects to get rewarded for saving the character anyway and that the saved character should come and help them in some way after that. It was pretty interesting all things considered.

That's the influence of bad videogames on PnP players.

Same here. It felt very satisfying. One less annoying companion to care about. I hope she doesn't pop out of a shady corner at some later point.

Seelah is an iconic Pathfinder character. Her name was chosen by Paizo years ago.

Owlcat didn't create Seelah. She's the "iconic" paladin from Paizo (like Amiri in Kingmaker).

She can buff me so that makes her gud.

 

[Shadenuat]

Anyone here is playing in Azata mythic path? I'm curious about the spells + dragon companion + "superpowers"

no, they're terrible crap, worst path in the game. be Lich Viktor

Amazing. I decided. My second run will be Azata

nnoooo Viktooooor

and if you're curious, the Paizo version of her looks even worse somehow.
