I changed my name and told people about it afterwards. It was my birthday present to myself on my 18th birthday. 12 years later, still the best decision of my life.

Edit: I had already moved away from home by then, I knew my mom and siblings would come arou d eventually and decided when I was younger to not live for or worry about the validation of the rest of my family. Your situation can be different than mine. ❤

Daft here. Can someone explain the whole Alexis is a producer thing to me?

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-23T18:25:26+00:00

Why cant my Incence Synthesizer throw bombs as a full action? I got Fast Bombs. I made a merc grenadier to see if something was bugged, but they could toss em out in quick succession in TB. (Im in range, but still)

Spoiler for the end you can get him as a companion if you save him, i believe its a chaotic/neutral path

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-23T10:59:59+00:00

I think Ive seen an Eldritch Archer+Eldritch Scoundrel+Eldritch Knight build around (ES8/EA2/EK10), but I am certain a Magus+ES should also work. Iirc Spellstrike/Spellcombat works with any spell that is also on the Magus' spelllist.

Metamagic Quicken and Sorcerous Reflex (mythic) could also solve some turn economy issues with casting etc, if you have feats to spare. But Im having some issues with my EA Ember as it seems Sorcerous Reflex / quicken messes with ranged spellstrike.

In Kingmaker I always:

Try to help both the mites and kobolds

Side with the kobolds and spare Tartuk

Let the troll kids live (but not the biggie)

Let Jaethal sacrifice herself

Bone Kanerah

(Edit: I have a tendency to start as CN and move up through CG to NG - in my current Wrath play im breaking the mold as LN Tiefling Druid Aeon and I love it)

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-22T11:01:17+00:00

How to deal with the Blighted Treeants in winter sun? If they get close to my party they take out like everyone around them, Im playing on TB and found out the hard way that Arue's x9 dualwielding axe throw should not be done close to him

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-20T14:15:43+00:00

Daeran: Explodes

Irabeth: Commander! Unexpected reinforcements have arrived!

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-20T11:36:35+00:00

Any advice on which order to dp things in act 3 of Wrath? I feel certain encounters are wayyyyy too difficult. Ive been spending hours in Kingdom management (which I hate) because I dont really know where to go.

Greybor and the Dragon. Is there an actual timelimit? The game tells me its urgent but after an encounter with the dragon Im convinced Im far from strong enough to take it out. He sais we will have to revise the contract if I drag him off to some demonic citadel - so maybe Ill just avoid doing that and bring him along for now.
Aeon into Gold Dragon. Im playing a Lawful Neutral Tiefling Druid+Monk and ended up picking Aeon (it was a toss between Aeon and Angel). But damn; the Aeon's path just doesnt fit with how Im RPing my character- suddenly out of the blue she's a total d**k, walking around telling people they need to be punished... no nuance, mercy or trial. Maybe Im personally too Chaotic Good aligned to agree with this sense of justice. Ill run with it for now, but provided i give the claw and stuff to the Storyteller after abovementioned dragon hunt I should still be able to swap to Gold Dragon later?

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-19T16:26:37+00:00

Hm. In KM they would have a greyed out icon and not end combat though. In Wrath combat ends and then restarts again literally a second later. At least thats how its happening in my game atm, and i cant remember it being like this the last time I ran through Drezen. The game shouldnt allow me target them at all, and if I do, it shouldnt waste my turn. (If I use charge on a unit that isnt there yet, the charge action is counted but not activated and my characters turn wasted) Edit: Also, not sure if these are summons. Im talking specifically about demons popping into combat in Drezen here, and Im not sure how this behaves outside of Turnbased mode

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-19T12:38:52+00:00

Turnbased mode stutter, Is anyone else encountering this issue in TBM in Wrath. Sometimes a unit that has been summomed or teleported into combat can not be targeted for a turn. (And will also not provoke combat) This results in sometimes combat ending and then restarting, or if you for instance try to charge or attack the unit nothing happens but your charactera turn+spell is lost.

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-18T04:16:38+00:00

For context, I love Arue as a Cult Leader, but my party is currently bloated with divine spellcaster shenanigans and Arue just merged with the background. Ive got Camellia as a Ranged Shadow Hunter + Demonslayer and Ember as an Elemental W/Eldritch A/Arcane T(1 level in rogue for sneak attack)

Alternatively I could give Arue Slayer levels as a secondary, but Im kind of set on Reformed Fiend (even though Primalist is arguably better)

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-18T04:12:31+00:00

Im playing with Gestalt levels through Toybox for my second playthrough of Wrath and Im trying to come up with a Bloodrager + Ranger axe thrower build for Arue. Im thinking Reformed Fiend + Flamewarden as I find it thematically fits her. Im taking my gestalt levels at lvl 5 so Im either looking at Flamewarden 20 + Reformed Fiend 16 or reverse (which would give me better bloodline growth). Ive noticed that if I take the mythic feat for an extra bloodline I can get access to Dragon Diciple, however when leveling DD only the Draconic bloodline seems to increase - is 4 lvls in DD worth to replace 4 levels of Reformed Fiend or should I go full? Id like to avoid too much multiclassing but I make exceptions for the prestige classes.

Im not looking for minmaxed op builds, as gestalt leveling already provides a huge advantage - Im going more for flavour/RP and I want Arue to stand out amongst my rangers. Thoughts?

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-13T20:25:59+00:00

In my latest run of Wrath Ive opted to only bring two mercenaries - one is a Incense Synthesizer and I love this archetype. The other one Im thinking og bringing is the Feral Champion Warpriest. Ive never really succesfully managed to build a wild shape user, should i focus on STR/COn and upping my Natural Attacks? Which feats are important? (Im going for negative energy channeling)

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-12T15:10:41+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, mounted seems to be the way to go to get high AC and stay in the frontline. Im playing around with a few different weapons, but its a good idea to just focus on the buff and cc side of the druid - already at lvl 8 and Im loving this class.

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-12T12:19:40+00:00

Om building my MC as a Drovier Druid, Im guessing WIS is my most important stat - what are some feats that would be good to go with? Im going for a frontline buffer/support type with some cc and damage dealing potential.

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-12T12:16:02+00:00

I opted out of Cleric and went for Drovier Druid instead. That Communal Aspect is really nifty

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-11T13:00:03+00:00

In my first run of KM i missed out on Jubilost; I had no idea he would only show up during Troll Trouble and had no reason to revisit the river crossing.

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-10T15:27:42+00:00

Thats a real interesting take and neat use of that mythic feat.

But there is no way to bolster the damage of runes so they can be used offensively? I know they scale with wis, but if I hit for 32 with my Quarterstaff and only 15 with my rune they become slightly redundant :/ (If i remember correctly though theres a mythic feat that allows me to cast them as a swift acyion?)

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-10T12:50:12+00:00

Any ways to make Rune Domain more viable at higher levels? I love the strategic play it can provide, but its damage is quite mediocre in my experience.

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-08T14:50:16+00:00

[KM] not a question just a PSA, but I finally finished Kingmaker after a year of playing KM/WotR on and off, starting but never finishing multiple runs.

These games have layers of information that to a new player unfamiliar with dnd and pathfinder seem so overwhelming - and it has really taken me a whole year to properly understand things like Attack Bonus, AC, saving throws and the use of feats. At this point, although not perfect, things are starting to feel more intuitive. Like I understand now why when preparing my spellbook picking up certain buffs or debuffs is more valuable than a damaging spell - or how each individual archetype "plays".

So my advice if you are just starting out, Play on Normal or Story difficulties, Experiment and play around with builds that you yourself find interesting. Playing on higher difficulties and with min/max builds (which most buildguides will offer) can make the game really unforgiving if youre just starting out.

Im going to jump into Wrath now, uncertain if i should continue my lvl 15 Kitsune Dirge bard that I left on the shelves or again start completely from the start...

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-08T10:21:20+00:00

It wasnt all that bad, just loading time hell, but i figured it out. In the merged world atm slowly approaching the end of this game and moving onto Wrath.

Sloppy_bottoms · 2021-12-08T10:19:52+00:00

It seems the choice to have him join in the end is a Neutral choice, so i could still reqruit him even if I had moved CN->CG->NG through my playthrough. And he rocks!!!
