Varam posted:That description gels with the idea that Pillars Monks should take damage, which I'm totally on board with, but it also runs counter to the concept of putting your monk in heavy armor just so she can survive. He Carries Many Scars was designed in honor of Rugnfar, not something he wore himself, and given his things was terrifying his enemies with his visible, open wounds, he probably wasn't wearing a whole lot into battle. There's also the fact Project Eternity announced itself to the world with that rad concept art featuring Forton/Zahua completely bare-chested, which is a cool aesthetic but something that you kind of have to go out of your way to make work in the game. That's fair enough actually.

Mind sharing what that the sister one does? And I thought Pallegina's order would depend on her ending, or is that just a cosmetic change for her?

I kinda wonder how many people had Pallegina remain with her order. I'd suspect she ended up a Kind Wayfarer for most.Entropy238 posted:Third, he requires less babysitting than the Rogue so you can use the resources you would have spent trying to shore up the Rogue's defences with other characters to kill enemies. Rogues do just fine if they go after debuffed targets (that will do less damage anyway) and maybe equip a draining weapon.

Wizard Styles posted:I've never seen the need to buff a Rogue's defenses. I've had the opposite experience but each to their own I guess. I find things generally get much better for the class from around levels 11/13 onward when the amount of CC that your Wizards, Ciphers and Druids can throw out is enough to lock down everything, but the low health (which draining doesn't help with) and endurance combined with low deflection makes for a rough early/mid game. A rogue getting stunned/paralysed is pretty much a death sentence and they're too high maintenance for my tastes.

(if you tell her to obey her orders you suck  )Btw, can you poison Simoc AND steal the baby? I want to get that baby out of that horrible situation but bluffing that rear end in a top hat into poisoning himself is so very satisfying.

I'm going to make sure Pallagina ends up as a Kind Wayfarer for Deadfire. Would rather not side with the Vaillian equivalent of the East India Company in my playthrough.

Dick Burglar posted:Is there ever a mechanical benefit to having a character that uses both melee and ranged weapons? I know in PoE2 we'll be able to club people with pistols, but is it ever worthwhile to have a character that uses a ranged and melee weapon in any meaningful way? The only thing I can think of is a cipher, and that's typically a ranged opener (classically a blunderbuss) and then swap to melee. Is there anything else? in PoE 1 I gave Kana a gun and a great sword or Estoc. His job was to stand back and do a bunch of chants that powered up my ranged characters. If an enemy made it past my melee team, or came from another direction, switch to the sword and hold them in place. The deal was that Kana was really about the chants and light tanking. Any DPS he could put out was just a bonus. Sometimes in an emergency, Sagani would switch too. I was running with a glass canon mage main, so having melee back up to keep her safe was real useful.

There's no guarantee that Palleginas altruistic streak goes anywhere if, for example, you did the altruistic thing but then sided with Galawain. In that scenario she sticks to her principles and remains in her Order.

It's important to remember that in Twin Elms Pallegina is not choosing between her country and some other cause, but between different ways to help her country. In the endings where she becomes a Kind Wayfarer, she didn't leave the order. The order left her.

No, if Pallegina is dead, she's dead. If you never recruited her, she's not in the Deadfire. Whether you encounter her as a Kind Wayfarer or a "brother" of the Five Suns, she's still a patriot.

Ravenfood posted:Oh, fair enough! I was just really curious about how mechanics and narrative tied together. I thought it was really interesting that (and how) Durance kept his priest powers, for instance. At the end of the day paladins are zealots and are empowered by their belief, not by a deity or an order itself. Pallegina could be slumming with the Kind Wayfarers, but it doesn't mean she couldn't still believe she is acting in Vailian interest and still have the abilities of the Brotherhood. Though I do believe it was stated her breastplate would change depending on her end state at least. She may also have only spent the between games as a Wayfarer. Two of the four new companions each represent a faction, the one they haven't talked about will probably be in the corner of the native aumaua. So that leaves someone for the VTC and it isn't going to be Xoti, Eder or Aloth. Enigmatic Cakelord fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Sep 8, 2017 |

To be fair, if you had Pallegina disobey orders and then side with Galawain, all you've really done is help convince her that the best future for the Valian Republics is one where it doesn't exploit it's weaker neighbors, it works together with them. I guess what I'm getting at is, by the end, I expect to have Comrade Pallegina.

Speaking of riposte rogue, WM1 is your friend. Bittercut, Garrodh's chorus, and wanderer's hide are all available early on in the expansion. But it gets better, I give you the deathblow spellshield rogue. There is a bash shield, Badgradr Barricade, that procs a single target crush spell on crit -- couple this with riposte and max accuracy through high per, and crits are common on the bash. Deathblows applies to the riposte main and offhand as well as the spell proc. Take the shield combat feat, pump resolve and deflection, wade to the frontline and spam your per encounter full attacks like crippling strike while riposting like mad. Open with the weakening interdiction from a priest and/or phantom foes from a cipher to guarantee that sweet deathblow goodness.

Badgradr Barricade isn't just good for a riposte rogue, it's more or less the only thing that allows them to actually function. Any non-bash shield, your full attack damage is going to plummet. A bash-shield, your non-full attack damage is going to plummet even harder. Badgradr's spell proc is the only thing that works, because rogues don't get the dragon maw shield.
