Wow, killed a black dragon without really even trying. At least he had some nice loot. Edit: Including the Armor of the Edgelord, apparently. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Jul 22, 2021 |

I'm sure it's probably been said here before, but as far as kingdom management, make sure to level up your administrators in their positions fairly aggressively. I went from absolutely no worries to absolutely making GBS threads bricks and very barely surviving as suddenly events leaped up to 30+ DCs in the later parts of the game. I had to kick down the management difficulty level for a while to squeak through while slowly drowning in a river of failure penalties and desperately sending my accountant to accountant school before it leveled out later on. I didn't dislike the kingdom management segment but I think it makes a much better carrot than it does a stick; it's pretty fun to unlock stuff and get buffs and etc because you played Baby's First Sim City well, but it certainly isn't a lot of fun trying to correct problems you made 30 ingame hours ago and pull out of a stall while constantly getting dire warnings.

Man, the Knurly Witch really did fool me with her “I’m so old and tired” act. Didn’t help her much once she revealed her true colors and ate four Piercing-Rodded Destructions, but you know. Points for trying. Edit: And almost immediately punished for my hubris by satyrs spamming Vampiric gently caress You.  At least the ghost guards had the common decency to respect Death Ward.

I'm in the middle of Chapter 2 and the game is finally starting to click for me. The early game is frankly very punishing with some bullshit fights (here's a tip for new players - when you get your very first side quest in the game to go to a spider cave, bring like 20 acid flasks) and the unintuitive kingdom management system. But if you invest the time, it really does start coming together. I'm especially appreciating the dichotomy of adventuring vs. administration of the barony. It provides some great pacing to the quests (a lot of these games suffer from everything feeling so rushed as there's no sense of time and your characters go from nublets to god-slayers in a couple weeks). Also enjoying the exploration system quite a bit as well.

I am pleasantly surprised that people seem to be dealing with the Rat cave and the Boggards pretty well. Or perhaps the spider cave already imparted the lesson 'come back later' and people dropped in at lv 5 or so. Because the boggards especially where a big surprise when they first implemented them after release.

She can lure me into a death trap with the promise of a good time, turn my citizens into weird monster summoning flesh gates, or even I'm sure there's a third bad thing I'm forgetting but turning my good friend into a book was a bridge too far.

I took too long letting the trolls run rampant (thought I needed another level) and it did that to me but it was easy to roll back a save because the time jumps happen on the kingdom screen so you're not losing like 10 hours of gameplay. Right now I'm hating this island near the capital where its just these lightning heads. I'm basically just cheesing it by having the priest turn off lightning damage and the other casters magic missile them down. Goofballs fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Jul 22, 2021 |

Yeah Wisps are a nuisance, but resist electricity communal means that you can just kind of smash them; just bring cold iron weapons if you have any.

By far the biggest challenges in the game are early on when you just don't have the equipment or specific counters available to you.

That island suuuucks. You can't do anything about the ambushes even with See Invisibility. It's just "did you bring Communal Resist Electricity, Y/N." At least the shield you find on the Paladin is really good.

i thought it was an interesting challenge to clear the island before my resist electricity spells wore off while still not going so fast that i'd get caught off guard by whatever nasty thing is hiding around a corner

We're going to have a party for the ranger in the woods because he likes the woods. Specifically the woods with ancient hydras and wargs with cloaking devices

I did a beneath the stolen lands run with an Earth/Fire Kineticist and of course the boss was on level 30, so I got to level 20 over about 12 hours of play and lol the rest of the party mostly existed to give me some micromanagement to keep them out of the fire from levels 13 on. Just absolutely silly.

the first half of your movement allows you to attack at the end of it, but when you go beyond that it's more of a dash or sprint and you can no longer attack... unless you're charging... or want to take a swift action... or some other edge case poo poo I cannot remember. if you played the new xcom it's similar to blue and yellow movement.

What can also help is turning on the option to preserve your standard action, which will automatically stop you when you've moved far enough that another step would take up your attack.

You can also right click to toggle between normal movement and the 5 foot step, e.g. if you want to use it to move out of a threatened area before taking an action that would trigger an opportunity attack.

Does Pathfinder 1e have level 0 rules? I know 2e does. The second DLC sounds like the perfect excuse to start as a level 0 commoner.Paizo posted:New additional campaign. The demon attack on Kenabres changed the lives of many. While the mythic hero and their loyal companions were busy liberating the city, the common folk had to find a way to survive, relying only on their humble skills.

You can start a campaign and use the retraining rules to get there. Level 1 commoners with the avg array leveling up to level 1 player class with the elite array is going to feel like a pretty big bump. You can absolutely throw low cr stuff at commoners and have that part work too. The issue with designing further than that, however, remains that the pig farmer levels of rpgs are well covered ground among systems as diverse as whatever the latest Steve Jackson games print and play is, and the systems that are worse than level 1 pf are honestly not that exciting. So developing more pig farming content on the systems side is dev time wasted. Absolutely write adventures for pig farmers, people like them, but there’s zero reason any new systems for that need to exist. Adapt whatever you have for level 1 and call it a day.

You don't even need to Level 0 it, just restrict the characters to the NPC classes yeah.

in the pathfinder + survival crafting, cordwainer is critical if you ever want to go traipsing around rocky biomes and you certainly will given the higher CR ores there.

My game keeps fading to black and then not coming back when I try to break the waterclock during that fight in the basement. Really tempted to either just leave and not come back or roll over the entire loving fight with some cheesy bullshit and then kill everyone one coup de grace at a time. Is there anything in or beyond that room worth worrying about? Do I have to break the thing?

Feels like Hassuf could stand to upgrade his cart since he's paying out like five years worth of my kingdom's revenue for sold gear when I get back from main quests now. It's also a little concerning that he's turning around and selling things like Endless War the +5 greatsword in the middle of my street fair.

The NPC that breaks out basically just tells you how to solve the puzzle in the room behind it (which will get you a bunch of gold and a nice-ish but unnecessary at this point bow).
