grah posted:Bag of Tricks can basically do anything you're surprised a mod can't do. I'm pretty sure it can either suspend quest timers when they're about to fail or just suspend time entirely when quests are near failure. I know that the last time I poked around in it it could turn off time entirely. Which could be really funny when you realized it meant time based stuff like status effects couldn't expire.

Of note : Fury's Fall adds Dex *again* if you're using a dex/agile maneuvers build ; which I'm not sure it should but it makes halfer monks hilarious. "You can't escape my toe hold !". Also monks have increased movement speed which, again, combines most excellently with small races. Watch the little murder machine go !

Except you take a damage penalty as you are doing small size unarmed. I'd rather be medium size and then buff with legendary proportions. I guess if your goal in life is to just trip the hell out of everything, that works.

Kalas posted:Except you take a damage penalty as you are doing small size unarmed. Meh. Damage dice is something that doesn't really matter IMO. Most of your damage as any kind of melee character comes from flat bonuses (e.g. power attack + str + enchant etc) and/or sneak attack dice. Using d6s instead of d8s (and similar) just doesn't register when each cockpunch comes with a flat 30 damage (or whatever, numbers pulled out of my butt). That being said, I agree that dex monks are suboptimal for various reasons. My goal with that character was to stack as much AC as physically possible and effortlessly trip the biggest monsters in the game  . All while looking like the sweetest most precious little muffincake possible. And having 5 strength.

When in doubt, assume that base damage dice don't matter and the important stuff is crit range, crit multiplier, and static bonuses and precision damage.

His Touch AC is low so spells/bombs will connect frequently. If you have haste and either Jubilost (or any alchemist/grenadier), Ekun(or any good longbow user) with Devourer of Metal or someone wielding Trollreaper greataxe, he should fall quite fast. If you have all these, it tends to be a joke. Defense wise, if you have displacement, you can cut his damage output a lot. Finally, dispel or slow can counteract his haste cast by Tartuk, which is the most dangerous part. Summoning monsters and skeletons as bait can help as well.

I'm in the troll lair as well, I assume level 8 is enough for the Hargulka fight. I can have Octavia cast Slow with super high DC. Is the game going to try to rush me through the next main quest, too, or am I finally going to have some breathing room to go exploring outside of the designated area? I saw the 'your barony will soon fall' message accompanying the troll raids and was all gently caress you, this is why I hate that timed nonsense.

Finally finished the game at 100 hours on my Steam played timer. It definitely has its low spots but overall I really enjoyed what it tried to bring to the table. I felt like I was playing a weird BG1 expansion with all the jankiness that entails. I was burning out pretty hard at the end there Lantern King's domain was sooooo loving tedious with how the wild hunt would just aoe disable 2/3 of my team with paralyze or fear or whatever. I think I'm going to miss the game now that's it is finally over. I'd definitely recommend the game with the caveat that mods are nearly necessary. I'm still processing the experience overall but I am coming away mostly positive.

Beat the big troll on the 3rd or 4th attempt, and the one after that did it with enough survivors to take down his mate. What's the best difficulty level to play on for a decent but not frustrating challenge? Been enjoying normal but I've definitely rushed through parts and made some meaningful build mistakes. Level 6 and feels like half my claimed barony isn't explored.

Normal or challenging are best for a first time playthrough, but you can customize specific aspects that bother you(like perhaps fixing ability damage through rest). You also have in-game respec now (speak to Anoriel in the tavern) if you feel you cam improve your builds. And you definitely have enough time to explore your map , though the areas west of Trobbold/Verdant chambers may be a bit too tough right now. Clean up everything else first.

I set it to Challenging and then dropped the Enemy Stats option to "Normal". Challenging sets it to "Slightly higher than normal" and Normal to "Slightly lower." This way it's normal Pathfinder stats, damage and crits. I've left Death's Door enabled - all the travel needed before revival makes death a chore right now. A mod with difficulty settings that did +damage% instead of +attributes would be cool.

corn in the bible posted:I feel like by the end you may have a bad time I thought +attributes is stronger than +dmg because it affects everything: saves, AC, etc. Like I don't mind difficulties where they hit harder but if they also resist/soak up damage more then it can get unfun. I'm too early in the game to be asking for this stuff, really.

Wizard Styles posted:Lowered enemy stats until you're level 4, regular stats afterwards until it gets boring and you increase them. Don't worry about half your barony being unexplored, you generally have some downtime between main story beats. My main is a half magus half fighter with a concentration feat that never gets used because he doesn't cast proper spells and two, possibly even three gear specialisation feats that also do nothing because this trident looks cool etc. Couple more points in intelligence wouldn't have hurt, either. Octavia I put thief levels on but now I need a mage more. The rest just have a few bad choices of spells and stuff. Teamwork feats seem good, I should invest in those, right? The flanking ones especially? Says a lot about the game that I haven't already restarted half a dozen times with different classes/builds trying to find the fun.

I don't really see a reason not to take Shake It Off on everybody. Melee characters tend to clump up and casters tend to have feats to spare.sassassin posted:My main is a half magus half fighter with a concentration feat that never gets used because he doesn't cast proper spells and two, possibly even three gear specialisation feats that also do nothing because this trident looks cool etc. Couple more points in intelligence wouldn't have hurt, either.

If you beat Hargulka at level 6, that's not bad at all. I beat him on my first try, but I was level 8 and he still beat Valerie to a pulp before I could cast Slow on him. e: I let him live but to be honest it was just to get into Octavia's pants, no one tell her Phlegmish fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Jul 15, 2019 |

Bards are an excellent 5th/6th party member, but they aren't there to do damage. Have Linzi focus on what bards do best: skills, making everyone else even better, and good enchantment disables. I did see one funny exception here where three knife master levels make her a pretty good tank. Also, the precise strike teamwork feat looks nice, but seems to be coded as extra basic damage not based on your weapon, so anything with damage reduction will ignore it.

So, I went through all of Troll Trouble and never found Ekun. I'm into the [spoiler]seeds[spoiler] part of the story and still haven't seen him. I looked online and it says he's at the ruined tower but I've scoured that map and he's nowhere. Did I miss him for good? Do I need to make another Merc now to be my ranger? Only having 5 animal companions is really hurting the flavor of my all-pet group!

Is there any way to have the game remove web after combat ends? I couldn't find a mod for it. The wait is bad enough that I'm now save scumming when I see a trap in an area with spiders. This game rocks, it's a real pity they had to release it in the state they did. I like the overall feel of the game very much. The motivations are very human and the characters are too. The writing is good and the plot seems better than most generic fantasy so far. The combat is superb in turn-based mode. That mod was one of the primary reasons I picked up the game and it's a game changer. I hope that Owlcat will add one of their own in their followup. The turn based roots of Pathfinder become so obvious when you play it in that mode.
