KickStarter Solasta Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[NJClaw]

So what's the verdict? I've seen a lot of the Kickstarter backers who had access to the full version talk about bugs and roadblocks. Should I just wait a couple of weeks for a post-launch patch?

While Solasta is a marvelous achievement of project management by today's standards, you can't reasonably expect games like this to be bug-free at launch. I'm sure we aren't talking Kingmaker levels of "brokedness", but a non-negligible amount of bugs will definitely get fixed by post-launch patches. Also, keep in mind that this week of full-release early access was mostly a way to find those bugs and start working on them before the actual release date.

Anything that i had played doesn't have a book page limit in.

Fanta you know that books have pages IRL, right?

Spoiler

 

[Larianshill]

People should really stop arguing with me about 3.5, and learn to take my word for it. This is page 179 of PHB.

Yes,and they could be added up,there is books with 3000 pages in. What is your point ? Books are not limited by the number of pages but by the quantity of the shit written in them. Clearly you don't know about books.

Actually, Baldur's Gate 2 has a limit on how much spells you can scribe proportional to your char's INT. And your char needs a "roll" to learn from the scroll(obviously you can save scum). The unique way to have a spell learning guaranteed is by having 18 INT(85%) and learning a spell from your specialist school(+15%). Or 24/25 INT which is extremely hard to reach even with all magical items and potions.

Exactly like Solasta. One page per spell level.

The starting spellbook has 100 pages but we don't know if there is other spellbooks with 500+ pages.

Sooo where does it say how much pages there are in a spellbook? Yeah you use pages in a book,doesn't mean you are limited by it.

Ahhh that was me point lol,it was based on the int not on how many pages you have in your book. I really like the bg type of learning spells. Also good improvement in the EE was the colouring of spells you could learn and learned ones.

 

[Larianshill]

Right there, in the image.

Fuck off with that retarded pamphlet,my toilet paper have more "pages" than this sad excuse of a book. It shows that kwans were making d&d,people that read only comic book garbage their whole life.

Anyway,it is retarded rule that nobody sane uses. As i said when you got butthurt,i haven't played in me life with this retarded rule.

 

[Larianshill]

But that's not what you've said. You've said

Because it was not in 3.5 and nobody plays the ones in between,so it is irrelevant if it is limited to 5e only lol. It is a shitty thing all around.

5e does not have a book page limit tho, you misread that.
You get 2 spells per level and as many as you can pillage on top of that. There is no maximum number of spells in your book in 5e. If your DM allows enough homebrewed spells a wizard could have a thousand spells in there in 5e.
You can only prepare a limited number each morning tho, formula is Intelligence Modifier+Level. So usually (3-5) from intelligence and (1-20) from level.
Idk if 3.5 had that limitation.

You can fly your bitch azz into dese nuts, nigga. C'MON.

If your DM allows enough homebrewed spells a wizard could have a thousand spells in there in 5e.

IMO developing a new spell should be a research made between the adventures. For eg : "We will gonna kill undeads, can I attempt to make a variant of fireball using the energy of positive energy plane instead of fire elemental plane?" And the DM say if yes, no, how many days, the DC, and money it will cost. Even for Netherese Wizards, some times took years to develop new spells. IMO developing new spells should take time, money and probably fail.

Also, developing new spells can be a character goal. I played a preserver on a dark sun campaing which his goal was to develop a way to transform infertile land into fertile land.

Ahh anyway,there must have been a misread or miscommunication somewhere in here.Anyway,if that is the game,then it is good.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Are wiz still like in older iteration where they could learn all the spells from scrolls ?

Yes. On Solasta, you can literally inscribe on your spellbook. You get spells from scrolls and from leveling up. Solasta gives a bit of scrolls, scrolls aren't scarce like on Dark Sun games(which makes sense then being scarce), nor plentiful like Baldur's Gate 1/2. However, your spellbook has "pages" and inscribing spells on it takes space on Solasta. I don't know if it is a 5E rule or not.

Yeah, inscribing scrolls is quite costly tho. 50 gold x spell level. The money is often the more limiting factor than the scrolls itself, since you can copy spells from spellbooks aswell as from scrolls. Kill a wizard and you can loot all his spells, but the cost could be in the thousands, which is as much as a plate armor.
Standard 5e rules is 2 spells per level up inscribed for free and as many from scrolls as you want if you get the money and books for it.

Sounds like a decline system. Getting all wiz spells from a dead wiz sounds stupid and popamole. Also limiting the number of spells based on the book kills the reason why you would get a wiz lol. Wiz is good because of huge versatility it offers and being restricted only by the int it have. Fuck 5e is total retardation.

I'm not sure why you think this is limited to 5th ed?

Because it was not in 3.5 and nobody plays the ones in between,so it is irrelevant if it is limited to 5e only lol. It is a shitty thing all around.

Stealing a Wizard's spellbook is pretty standard practice since 1st ed but became infinitely more popular in 3rd ed.

in 3.5 and earlier editions wizard spells were memorized directly into spell slots. So you could technically memorize as many spells as you had slots, but most wizards would memorize multiples of their favorite spells.
