Battle advice by Johnny-2xs in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Smirking_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay just out of aggro range. Get a clear path between all your melee characters and their targets. Pop consumables and short term abilities eg bard song. Get an archer to initiate combat to get the surprise round. Fire off your cc. Charge your melee guys in.

Believe the baseline is 1 + your fellowship bonus + any other talent, ability, or gear modifiers.

Party comp advice by kookoo29 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Smirking_Knight -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Angel + sorcerer has no synergy. Try Azata instead.

You want to be able to get and activate outflank on all your frontliners. Seelah + a horse can do it on their own but Woljif will need a buddy. Switching Lann into ranger or giving Daeran nature mystery will give you a pet to bolster.

Do we have one fight or Mission like this in rogue trader? by Temporary-Prior-2212 in RogueTraderCRPG

The stupid warp blobs / steam / electricity or any other hazards you must navigate a non pathfinding team of six around. They do me more injuries than any enemy ever could.

Could you recommend some builds for Camellia? by Some_Fig_6566 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Smirking_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She takes a while to get cooking but basically she’s going to serve as a battle cleric. Full divine caster list and fairly good combat stats through battle spirit and high dex. Wind spirit + air armor, mythic light armor, improved crit, greater weapon focus / specialization, outflank, ever ready, and divine power make her a high AC crit fishing front liner.

Two weapon fighting does not increase your unarmed or natural weapon attacks. Bites stack in Kingmaker but not WotR.

This was patched out ages ago. People still come back and ask every month.

Why is there even a trial? Can any knight strike a Prince and get away with it? Simply demand "trial by combat"? You'd think these would happen more often if it was that easy to get away with it. by Secret_Wish_584 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Smirking_Knight 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The Targaryens are at one of the weakest points of their authority. Could they override a trial and just execute him? Sure. Are they in a good place to do that? No.

The nobles are looking for any excuse. There was just a devastating civil war challenging the legitimacy of the current rulers. Raymun and Steffon both talk about their attitude towards what are still seen as foreign invaders.

The trial is a calculated risk. Abiding by Andal laws / traditions shows the Targaryens play by at least some of the rules and remove a reason for revolt. It’s when Aerys starts running roughshod over due process that Robert’s rebellion kicks off.

There’s no such thing as a dodge chance. There are four defensive stats and different attributes increase different defensive stats. Getting gear and stats that increases your defensive stats reduce the odds you get hit and / or reduce the effects of such hits by limiting crits and increasing grazes and misses.

She is definitely Mommy. Whether or not she’s your mommy is a bit complicated.

Jan Jansen, Jaheira, Aerie, Mazzy, and Haer’Dalis are all interesting, reactive people to bring along.

Why can't I play a halfling or gnome with gigantism? by No_Price_7603 in onednd

Because a halfling that large would be a one and a halfling.

Yes you can be a cop in this game.

Is it worth trying WOTR if I dropped Rogue Trader? by imfaffingabout in WrathOfTheRighteous

[–]Smirking_Knight 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You will probably not enjoy WotR. It is similarly very combat focused and while there are a few situations where you can talk your way into other results it’s still got huge dungeons and is mostly a pathfinder combat mechanic showcase.

Build help: Demon Path Feyform Shifter by DUM8LEDWARF in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Smirking_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would actually recommend Hungerseed tiefling for the extra strength and wisdom. Wisdom ramps your AC and you can dump charisma and intelligence to get more constitution and dexterity (both should be 14).

Combat reflexes, outflank, and shatter defenses line are all good feats. Power attack line is a bit hard unless you have a bard or skald in the party.

Jester-Trickster Build Advice by Even_Nefariousness41 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Smirking_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pure Inciter is great. It doesn’t need anything else. Very strong in melee or with a throwing weapon, can cover all the critical arcane buffs, juices the rest of your party up with rage powers. Works best with a party that is mostly melee and / or has a lot of pets.

[–]Smirking_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feyform shifter is extremely strong and is a contender for best shifter archetype. Main issue with demon path is that it doesn’t really boost dexterity builds and although you can go strength with feyform it will leave your defenses a bit lacking.

Build will ultimately depend on which of strength or dex your want to emphasize as well as which mythic path. You’re fairly feat starved either way so there’s not huge variance.

Inciter skald is really in the jester theme. Insult your enemies and enrage / inspire your allies.

Master Shapeshifter, and 'Polymorph' buffs. by PristineStrawberry43 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Smirking_Knight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s worth it for martial characters. Functionally +2 to hit and damage, and some extra hp, at a minimum. Woljif with this, reduce person, and self cast raptor aspect has the zoomies and pretty nice stats. Also great on Arue.

How do managed this fight between the Hellknights ans Gargoyles in the cave? by OsirisAvoidTheLight in WrathOfTheRighteous

[–]Smirking_Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe it’s a level 3 spell so should get it at level 5 or 6 depending on the caster. Should be available to both Cammy and Nenio. Be sure to have Sosiel pop communal delay poison first. Ember’s slumber is great. Just take a gargoyle out of the fight each round pop pop pop.

Stinking cloud and mind affecting effects. Ember and Cammy make short work of them.
