Ryuujin posted:I am hoping for new Kineticist and Shifter archetypes,, but someone on Steam suggested that we probably are getting archetypes for classes that didn't get them in the last DLC and I think both of them got an archetype last time. Shifter got that crazy werebeast archetype but Kineticist hasn't gotten anything yet. The next ones to be revealed should be Arcanist, Kineticist, Magus, Ranger, and Rogue And maybe Warpriest if they remember that it exists

I think they revealed 6 in the first article, so the next article should reveal 5 more as it was supposed to be 11 new archetypes. Hmm I thought there was a new Kineticist archetype last time, but I might have just been confused since I started some new kineticist playthroughs because of a mod adding new kineticist archetypes.

I've beaten the game on normal settings with only one army. You really don't need much more than that.

Alright, since the game is gonna be finished in a couple weeks, I figure it's about time for me to finally resume playing it, starting with the Through the Ashes/Lord of Nothing side campaign, but I have a question. According to what I've read, getting the bad ending to Lord of Nothing powers up the boss it unlocks in the main campaign, and also gives you better loot. But, nobody anywhere has actually documented what that improved loot is, compared to what you get from the weakened boss that comes from the good ending. So, what's the difference between the two versions?

So I guess it has to be the other five I mentioned

They did have a mobile RPG https://www.ossianstudios.com/the-shadow-sun/ and this looks to have been in the works for a while (their post from 2021 indicates that they were working on something "big".. probably they're at a semi-playable engine state, and need big bucks to hire folks to actually build it out

Ossian is legit. If you were part of the NWN community, especially on GameFAQs, you'll surely recognize the names. They were going to prove out that modders could make legit money creating games with the NWN1 toolkit - and then that program died. But they released their big campaign for free anyway. This was back when it seemed like NWN1's model was going to be the next big thing in CRPGs I mean this was 20 years ago and I can't fathom how they've survived for this long or if the original members are still around, but it's remarkable. I'll pass on the KS because there are too many risks involved in even the most established companies and genres, but I'll be rooting hard for them. This is somewhat on par with Larian finally getting the BG3 license so I hope for the same success

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1184370/view/4170974735557630183 Second route of archetypes. No way Arcanist Deceiver works properly ever but I am still fascinated.

I'm interested in Bladebound Magus and Kinetic Sharpshooter, anyone have info on those classes from the PnP? Also, lore question, Arcanists are supposed to be sorcerers who also do mage stuff, right? So they both have innate magic and can also learn from scrolls?

Arcanist are supposed to have an ability called Quick study that lets you spend a point to swap out a spell. So without mods they’ve got a sorcerers slots but a wizards ability to learn scrolls iirc.

In the PnP Bladebound shares its arcane pool with the sword and the Blade has its own stats and gains its own abilities and generally you know has a will of its own sentient weapon type thing. It's a lot of RP stuff that's probably getting swapped with Alucard Sword Summon shenanigans instead

quote:When creating a fused spell, the magic deceiver chooses between the corresponding properties of the initial spells. If the initial spells belong to different schools of magic, have different spell shapes, or require saves of different types to avoid their effects, the magic deceiver chooses which properties will apply to the fused spell. This sounds nuts, like if you combine two spells you can pick the AoE and Save from one and the effect of another. So I could mix fireball and hold person, to get an AoE paralyze that is resisted by a reflex save instead of a will save?

Also, lore question, Arcanists are supposed to be sorcerers who also do mage stuff, right? So they both have innate magic and can also learn from scrolls? As said, the Bladebound presented here is nothing like the version in tabletop, and Kinetic Sharpshooter is wholly original and as such will be either completely useless or utterly busted. Arcane Deceiver is also homebrew and there are no words for how overpowered it will be, assuming it ever works as intended. So, about the two that seem to be pretty straightforward ports: Mantis Zealot: Do you like Cult Leader, but wish it were worse? It has slower Sneak Attack progression, and rather than losing bonus feats for it, you give up Sacred Weapon. You know, the main thing you're even playing Warpriest for? You also swap Sacred Armor (not a huge loss given that you can just wear decent armor to begin with) to get a minutes/day ability that grants the Uncanny Dodges and Evasions, though it gains those abilities all at considerably higher levels than other classes that get them (you don't get Improved Evasion until level 19). Also you're locked into light armor and lose shields entirely, but get free sawtooth sabre proficiency. And Aspect of War loses the "full speed in armor" benefit (which you don't need in light armor) and instead grants bleed damage. Overall, it's a pretty bad archetype compared to Cult Leader. You don't even get the extra skill points! Oh, and Achaekek's domains in tabletop are Law, Evil, Death, Trickery, and War, so make of those what you will. Sable Company Marine: Good lord, they dug up an obscure one! All it does in tabletop is replace Hunter's Bond with the hippogriff, and add the Monstrous Mount Mastery feat to your chosen fighting style's list (which lets you skip the prereq of the Monstrous Mount feat, which would be redundant given the archetype). The Hippogriff's Mastery ability is just being able to fly with a rider, at half fly speed (their normal fly speed is 100, so it's still pretty drat fast with a rider, to be fair). Presumably, Owlcat's spicing thing one up, which will probably ruin it. Much of what worked about Sable Company Marine was that it didn't really interfere at all with whatever else you were doing with the class, it just gave you a special mount and the option to become able to ride it while flying. But, we'll see, Ranger definitely has some dud features, so they might just replace those.

Do you consider 38 AC particularly high, because as I recall a certain well armed jerk you fight early in the Drezen Citadel has like 40+ and the AC scores only really go up from there

A non optimal party composition (aka buffs not stacking or no hyperfocused build like a DC caster) can definitely have a hard time. It becomes a bit easier if you ignore the room and progress the plot a bit to get the PLOT item.
