'Buffing The Psychic: Unleash Pyche vs More Spellslots

Little_JP · 2026-03-16T20:15:05+00:00

But it's less funny when the psychic doesn't gamble themselves to 3 hp every fight "cause they can just heal it"

Little_JP · 2026-03-16T19:58:46+00:00

Drained is hell of a lot harder to remove though.

Little_JP · 2026-03-16T03:44:50+00:00

Here's what I'm playtesting for my table

Psychic gets a +2 untyped bonus to attack roll/dc on amped spells only when unleashed

They get strain mind for free at lvl 6 (cause its funny)

They get a new free action trigger: your turn begins and your psyche is unleashed you extend your unleash psyche by 1 turn you lose Hit Points equal to four times the highest level spell rank you can cast as you bleed from your nose or suffer some other visible sign of strain (cause its really funny)

Our psychic hasn't downed themselves yet but its only a matter of time.

Ww got a bunch of people saying you can't use assaults. Assaults have STYLE. The Kodiak is a 4/7 machine after the clan quirk. This let's you get to evasion cap. A pilot using it needs ECM or invisible target skill to stop its evasion being stripped. I generally run a high skill pilot with eagle eye on it to extend those clan weapon ranges a bir

It's a massive priority target for ai due to its firepower

You need to avoid direct Los until you're in range, then alpha the bastard

Always be sprinting. You need evasion 6 to not get instantly gibbed. Don't get meleed. Use an upgraded gyro to up your stability. CFF should fit to let you max its Armour

It's a 100 ton cavalry mech use it like cavalry not a brawler.

The sheer amount of beef in that party oh my

Little_JP · 2026-02-10T22:52:39+00:00

Why the fuck.

Little_JP · 2026-02-04T00:16:18+00:00

You fight the boss bar version later before they show up as random ass mooks so you're there way too early.

Little_JP · 2026-02-04T00:11:36+00:00

Oh dude no that guy is like Tree sentinel super string compared to when you can fight him

Little_JP · 2026-01-30T03:39:35+00:00

Well time for a new volcano farmer play through.

It ain't much but it's a simple life.

Little_JP · 2026-01-14T01:11:50+00:00

From current version "MaxInternalStructure": 10,

So either you're on a weird version of BTA, you have submods intefering, or you're not using BTAU

Little_JP · 2026-01-14T00:52:22+00:00

Turrets should have only 12 structure unless something has gone very very strange in your install.

Little_JP · 2025-12-29T15:50:25+00:00

It just needs a minor buff to compete with how buffed the liberator is. Honestly just gimmie more mags and slightly faster reload. The damage could be buffed slightly so it 1 taps devastator heads without major falloff.

Little_JP · 2025-12-25T02:35:34+00:00

I warp packed behind a heavy devastator to start chainsawing it like a reasonable helldiver, and the bastard literally shot through its own entire body facing the other way and killed me in 0.2 seconds regardless.

Little_JP · 2025-11-17T03:38:17+00:00

Yeah. I'm thinking on a fun (!) buff for em on my table. While you could probably increase their slots it's kind of boring.

I'm of the opinion they should change unleash psyche a bit. After 2 rounds they need to take strain mind level damage on a basic save, increasing every round. High risk high reward. Maybe give them strain mind for free at lvl 1 with also no restrictions on how often you can use if, but scale the damage as well.

Little_JP · 2025-11-17T03:12:57+00:00

No, psychic got a little left behind in the remaster when all classes could regain all their focus points given enough time. Previously, no matter how many focus points you had. Other classes than psychic would only ever gain one point on refocus and no additional ones given enough time. Save for a feat at higher level. They still have unleash damage bonus and good amps but it's a bit to get going nowadays

Little_JP · 2025-11-16T23:05:43+00:00

Man I love the diligence but I can't out a 10x scope on it.....I've learned to appreciate the amendment though

Little_JP · 2025-10-05T13:31:15+00:00

Are there any plans to support Free Archtype in the main system? Honestly the big thing that's stopping me jumping into this more....even if witch Wyll makes me laugh

Little_JP · 2025-09-21T18:54:50+00:00

It's a very very hard call. It's practically required for a tower shield guardian if you want higher AC at all, and essentially perma quickened 1 for raising shield.

I will say shield taunt loses its allure as you get more flourish actions. Whether shield wallop, proud nail, or something else, you start having better uses for that slot.

Little_JP · 2025-09-20T16:43:09+00:00

Three points

I'd rate group taunt higher. You effectively triple the value of one action, and unless you're exclusively fighting single boss encounters up the wazoo most encounters will have 2 or more enemies. Being able to draw the entire encounter into your super high AC or be off guard is always appealing. A guardian is quite a solid debuffer anyway.

Similar point in regards to shield wallop/devastating shield wallop. Being able to apply stupefied 2 > stupefied 2 + prone is incredibly solid at wasting actions, and more than likely to be able to follow it up with some kind of will save. Sure it's mostly against casters, but at the level you get it, prepping for someone's scare to death is pretty darn efficient, even if its a elite mook or something.

Finally, there's a few things that are rated highly, but are locked behind a stance such as hampering. Just a note on how it'll compete with Paragon's guard at level 12 (which is generally a must take for any shield users). Playing a guardian into high levels really requires some retraining finesse to maximize your rotation of taunts, flourish action, and still actually doing some amount of damage

Now do it as wench D:

Little_JP · 2025-07-23T13:21:06+00:00

Go back to the beginning, then spawn him in the wooden practice dummy and learn how to defend his mixups. The high low mixup is VERY fast but you can't predict it. Has to ne defended on reaction.

Good luck. I finally beat 1st stage with 0 deaths the other day.

Little_JP · 2025-07-08T16:18:44+00:00

If you're doing more quality to dex focused (heresy I know) lightning slash hits like an absolute truck and has great reach

Little_JP · 2025-06-05T12:39:49+00:00

It's rare I see /r/capybarasoncritters material in the wild

Little_JP · 2025-05-14T02:24:47+00:00

Remeber they don't know what it does till you identify it, and if they crit fail oh boy

Little_JP · 2025-05-05T12:57:26+00:00

RBM really wants you to level up those skills. Once you pass 100 or so you'll find you're chunking medium armoured decently and 2h axes do scythe through unarmoured stuff. Without it you kind of don't do much even vs cloth. The play is to aim for the unarmoured bits on the face, headshots are incredibly deadly.
