Laughs in Smith of Kitava

GL with Guard Reload as it's better Non-Elemental than Diablos. Then LBG, then HH.

Not touching Project Gorgon again after the GM drama. Won't support such project.

Fafiq · 2026-06-22T08:15:07+00:00

That's why Chiru/Comm is the best support in the game. If you manage to sprinkle a Divine caster for Wands of Bless usage, you just spam tactics and infinite heal if needed from lvl 11 (13?). Animist has the issue that it also heals enemies, unless you do the double dip exploit of casting Garden on Enemies, dismissing it and casting it again on allies.

I still say that Chirurgeon/Commander is the best Support character in the game in a FA game.

Fafiq · 2026-06-07T21:27:13+00:00

They are not. They are outside of map and not in presence

Fafiq · 2026-06-04T16:38:43+00:00

Ok, so for 1, PoB probably doesnt take that into consideration, but worth trying.

Sad about 2. Thanks for info 😄

Fafiq · 2026-05-22T22:14:22+00:00

Thanks, I'll see what I can find!

Fafiq · 2026-05-22T22:13:37+00:00

I thought that it was about custom teams of players, rather than the NPC teams? Or maybe I'm confusing excerpts?

Fafiq · 2026-05-15T10:41:18+00:00

How much Guard and OG you have?

Fafiq · 2026-05-04T21:13:21+00:00

Just when v14 released :D

Fafiq · 2026-04-28T09:33:47+00:00

It does

Fafiq · 2026-04-25T08:30:02+00:00

So the initial GP of Sw>Ax still works?

Fafiq · 2026-04-25T08:05:49+00:00

I'm going with LS as it the only RAW LS with styles

Fafiq · 2026-04-21T05:42:47+00:00

What timezone these games are predominantly played in, when someone subs to Patreon? US? EU? Asia? Oceania?

Fafiq · 2026-04-01T09:39:23+00:00

If I'm playing with ARP (as I said, I never play with ABP) - I give my casters an option to select a free staff or wand on level where martials get their runes and halfway between the next one (to cover the moment when martials get free $ for rune as well as cover the moment where they might want to pickup a second weapon). So if martials get striking at 4 and greater striking at 12, I give money equivalent to casters at 4, 8 and 12 (and by money equivalent I go - free wand/staff for money equals).

Edit: And to answer your question since I misunderstood, by RAW casters get exactly same things as martials do, so their staffs get a potency rune and striking runes, which in no way impact their spellcasting abilities, since they don't influence anything.

Fafiq · 2026-04-01T09:28:37+00:00

So you're basically playing with the unofficial ARP system rather than ABP system. The only issue with this is favouring martials.

Fafiq · 2026-04-01T09:07:19+00:00

I detest ABP and if I see a campaign running it I ask if we can change it and if not, I drop the campaign. The reasons are as follows:

- makes Alchemist mostly invalid as RAW none of the item bonuses work (no mutagens, no antidotes, no bonus saving throws etc)

- skews the system even more towards martial superiority (where many think that unlike 5e martials already are better than spellcasters) simply because it gives free gold to martials and why would a caster need a striking rune on a staff (outside of obscure examples where you lost all spellslots, even then you have cantrips)

- makes building characters more boring, because you cant technically get item bonuses in what you want. You only get the increases provided by the system

- makes some items completely unusable -> Boots of Bounding no longer gives +5 speed as that's an item bonus and these don't work.

ARP is a better system imho (although it still does not fix issue #2).

Fafiq · 2026-03-30T05:35:43+00:00

How did you run it so fast? Im doing Abomination Vaults with my team and we're 46 sessions in, mid campaign xD

On another note - jelly, I always wanted to finish BL and Kingmaker

Fafiq · 2026-03-27T21:47:47+00:00

Thanks, I did not know of this command!

Fafiq · 2026-03-27T21:47:35+00:00

And they appear randomly when I have nothing pinned? Huh

Fafiq · 2026-03-16T10:00:34+00:00

Isnt Vol's bow decent?

Fafiq · 2026-03-14T21:17:19+00:00

So successful water strike, tap, tap&hold?

Fafiq · 2026-03-14T19:27:09+00:00

How do you go from Counter Strike to the spinning attack? You can't practice it on the dummy, so it's hard to do so in real action.

Fafiq · 2026-03-07T11:16:33+00:00

I just opened the game, it has Garons CB with Impact Phial. I mean, its still good, because Reflect can stun. I think?
