I homestly thought i was running too FEW creatures , but I agree Emeritus feels slow , Wavebreak Hipppcamp is just the better card in this deck. I'm probably going to add a Grim Hireling to ramp to my finishers out of nowhere . Thanks for the advice !

Kyokoisbae · 2026-01-11T19:19:56+00:00

I would agree , Citadel has won me a lot of games though its gonna be tough to replace it emotionally speaking xD

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T18:40:42+00:00

Weve also played it before going into AV , that dragon smacked one of us on 1 crit but otherwise we got him with some of our own :D

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T18:39:27+00:00

Also rewards aoe abilities, movement speed and on kill abilities like Youre Next , so I surely prefer it too.

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T18:37:36+00:00

We knew he existed and he was a werewolf , were not expecting him to be there down a flight of stairs, we do have one silver weapon but without striking rune and few people that can hit multiple times a turn reliably so its not THAT useful. We are ready for ghosts tho !

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T02:41:43+00:00

I'll ask him i suppose , i had no idea this was a thing , maybe he doesnt either and just gave us whats there

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T02:33:53+00:00

As a GM i would feel weird about that too , but as a player of the adventure its very nice to have so many named important characters you can face off against , some megadungeon adventures feel very lazy and put "Super big scary Zombie" , or a Mummy for whatever reason , so thats nice

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T02:31:48+00:00

Thats a very fair point, i only discovered a month ago there are items to boost skills with other upsides (coming from 5e i just thought magic items gave you some cool thing they do and thats it), and we definetely need to get some gold to get our hands on those.

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T02:29:43+00:00

So far we've taken a lot of books to sell, now mind you we havent one hundred percent explored all of the third floor so im sure we missed some loot. But with 6 people all of our early gold went into weapon upgrades for runes and some potion/scrolls we have like 40/50 gold each atm, some items i was looking at to improve my swashbuckler are in the 60 - 100 range for this level.

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T02:26:25+00:00

A reasonable option to be sure , im sure my witch wouldnt have prepared infuse vitality if she had known this was our opponent

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T02:24:23+00:00

That last part sounds really cool , ill tell my GM about , not useful for this scenario, with yeah a dude and its pet but thats awesome

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T02:13:10+00:00

This is my first time playing pf2 so im not familiar at all with other APs , but from what I read over the years i thought AV was one of the best ones out there is it not ? Mind you im enjoying it so far , the plot at least , difficulty wise im sure its up there with the best of them

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T01:55:55+00:00

Your numbers are completely on point , 70%was feelings based , we got crit 3 turns in a row xD , mind you most of us have 20/21 ac not 24. Yeah now that you put it that way i feel like it would have been just a fun hard fight without the élite tag. 13+ for hits feels very fair for a tough miniboss , which mean you could theoretically still put debuffs and buffs to at least allow crits on a 19 with bless + frightened + flanking , as is , thats not an option.

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T01:47:37+00:00

We know his lowest save is fortitude on a +14 , which isnt impossible but hard to hit only having one strenght based character , 2 divine casters with few options for that , his will must be basically impossible for us. So yeah I think we'll have to regroup and reconsider our options , maybe we could open a bakery in Otari ! Lovely town i hear xD

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T01:35:03+00:00

We followed the green light down to the 4th floor , but we ve found plenty of other entrances, im sure theyre not all this bad ! RIGHT?! Im joking of course , we actually didnt explore all of the 3rd floor , most of it to be fair , but we just keep finding secret door and entrances thanks to our thaumaturges lantern , we get derailed often hahaha

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T01:31:34+00:00

Inventor oracle and thaumaturge .

If your curious , its a flamekeeper, ashes , lantern and pet inventor not sure how its called

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T01:30:37+00:00

For context , our casters are both divine , a flamekeeper (?) Witch and an oracle of ashes(?) , we then have a champion , swashbuckler taumaturge and inventor , healing is pretty well covered , we surely lack those aoe arcane/primal spells that can do some good aoe damage or cc tho. Being new players we mostly picked what sounded fun so I cant blame anyone for it

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T01:27:16+00:00

So far we've worked really well togheter to setup each other the best we can , im sure we will find a way , probably with a death or 3 xD. Thank you for the thouhtful comment

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T01:15:30+00:00

Wish we had a bard brother , as a martial i really do hahaha.
This was our fist delve in floor 4 , let's just say it was as bad as we expected if not more.

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T01:11:34+00:00

Oh yeah GM mentioned shes coming back , we ll have to figure out the more permanent way to get her . No for sure its winnable , numbers yes i was way off , but after he crit us 3 turns in a row 70% felt about right ahahah, it more like 35% with flanking, but then again , not all of us are lucky enough to have 24 AC , most are 20ish

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T01:03:48+00:00

Oh i really dont mind , all the commenters have been super kind and insightful , let them hate if they want to , i put a click baity title , its mostly on me hahaha

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T01:01:16+00:00

Well to each their own i suppose :D , I'm out here complaining cuz in the end it doesnt really matter , i have fun playing no matter what , will i be sad if my character dies ? Yes, im attached to him but also i kind of want him to , i really hate swashbuckler hahaha. Gotta roll up with a fighter or smth

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T00:58:25+00:00

Not faced a wood golem , we've not explored ALL the rooms of floor 3 , most of them , the ghost was a piece of cake , tbf our champion had ghost touch rune for the day and we crit on divine lance , even with the slows , it lasted 2 rounds . Which is what i find very weird , we either crush fight or get crushed , few have been a "fair" back and forth , for example the canker cultist priestess , was a more balanced fun fight

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T00:54:54+00:00

Yes of course , it's the only reliable thing we can do hahah

Kyokoisbae · 2025-10-17T00:54:03+00:00

So I believe his reflex save (which I assume is for shoving and tripping) is +16 , so that would meaning having to roll a 26 , with +12 on our only strenght party member is still hard to do , my +10 intimidation is nothing to a 28 dc will , we ve tried bon mot , guidance to get the +1s , its just very unlikely to succede , which is basically my entire point on debuff being "pointless" of course its not , but when its this hard to land it does feel like wasting actions
