The whole kingdom building thing seems really cool and what drew me to the game from pre-release info

But I have to get through my backlog and poo poo and lack of time

Do any of the magic classes in this game (or Pathfinder in general) not use Vancian Magic? Something along the lines of the PoE Cipher?

Kinetcists can nuke all day long. They are sorta like Avatar:TLA Benders.

Sorcerers have known spells, but can freely cast whatever spells they know as long as they have castings of those spell levels per day.

I guess I was referring to the "X spells / rest" mechanic of Vance Magic. I hate that so much

Kinetcists sound cool the

So, I understand why people dislike the memorization element of vance magic, wherein, you have your x spells/rest and you have to pick them when you rest, and sucks to be you if you chose the wrong ones or cast the only one of the one you need earlier in the day.

But, this is a problem that the 'spontaneous' casters (i.e. Sorcerers, Bards, Inquisitors, Oracles), solve, because you have your whole repertoire available, but you still have limited slots.

The main alternative to this, is usually some sort of Mana system, but... mana is just spell slots by a different name really. You still only get a fixed number per rest. It's just abstracted out into a point system.

Unless you just hate having a class with a resource management mechanic at all, in which case, just play a fighter or a rogue I guess?

If I'm Sorc or w/e, I know 5 lv 1 spells and cast any of them as I please, but I still only get to use 3 lv 1 spells a day. Which I find to be kinda lame

I just gone done playing a Cipher in PoE and a cipher's MP resets at the end of every fight. So there's no risk in using running out of higher end spells as they come back for the next encounter. So I was asking if there's a class like that in PF

I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out what an Inquisitor of Cailean would even *do*.

- Oi ! You ! Yes, you. Hand over that mug. *sniff, sniff* Is that APPLE JUICE ? Right, you're coming with me. Don't resist or I'll smite you proper. I've got Dwarven Bitter in my saddlebags, and we're doing this.

Zore posted:

You can also do it through feats but

1) The feats don't let you mount as well as a cavalier
2) Mounting kind of sucks. Made even worse by the fact lances aren't in the game for that sweet 4x damage on charge.

Right now its mechanically more optimal to use your Cavalier mount as a regular animal companion lol

This might be true and all, but riding into battle on top of a dragon is insanely cool :colbert:

WotR has inspired me to finally get around to installing Kingmaker


How balanced is the game for turn-based since it was originally designed for RTwP? Do fights becomes substantially long in turn based?

What's the most OP class I can make in order to zip through things quicker? Some sort of caster class?

In Kingmaker, I finished character creation only to loop back to the start screen

I assume that's a mods fault?

I'm pretty sure I am going to roll a Sylvan Sorc, but I cannot figure out why that build calls for 18 DEX

I'm not gonna be partaking in melee combat, but 18 DEX seems like a bit much for a dodge tank

Kind of. Don't feel you have to gun for the 'best' ending, especially if you were planning on romancing someone. It is worth it to at least do enough to unlock the real final chapter though.

I was planning on the DLC romance, but I think you need to unlock the final chapter for that as well

Did Kingmaker get a stealth update? Right now its trying to forcibly update something, but it fails because of a Disk Write Error and I have no idea how to cancel the update. Its stuck in a loop

Each time I try to start, it goes through the bricked u[date cycle

Do Animal Companions scales off class level or character level? If I take a 1 level dip of a companion class, will the animal continue to level or get stuck at lv 1?

If you have multiple animal companions in the party, how crowded does the screen get and how annoying is it to control that many more characters?

Thinking of doing a gimmick Hunter-Azata Friendship build where all the party members somehow obtain animal companions. So 6 party chars + 6 companions + Aivu = big hot mess. And with Life Bonding Friendship, everyone gets the Hunters teamwork feats.

We shall beat the demons with the powers of big fluffy animals. Onward to friendship
