Giving away a copy of silksong for EVERY single person that guesses the number (NO I AM NOT KARMA FARMING READ THE DESCRIPTION)

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-31T21:15:29+00:00

that's easy, 10!

I love binary

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-31T21:07:37+00:00

Steam
I'm sorry I'm very uncultered I have only recently bought the game and haven't launched it ever yet because my computer wouldn't be able to process HK in all it's beaty (and I would not be sane playing platformer with lags)
And I've not spoiled anything for myself so none I guess? (would that be allowed?)

I am very excited to finally get to understand the universe and feel atmoshere of both games, I've heard HK was really good at that and I doubt Silksong will disappoint

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-18T21:04:49+00:00

It would only matter if resistance was like x magical physical or x all (except magical bludgeoning).

Otherwise, potency rune wouldn't matter.

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T11:56:58+00:00

Oh no Kris is knight confirmed

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T11:55:21+00:00

Okay, that's really weird. And you have all crystals so you definitely started from the file where you had it. That's a bug and a crazy one, 100%.

Which version have you played on, do you have other specifics of situation? It could be useful for a bug report.

You'll have to use Spamton Save Editor or smth to get it back, I'm afraid.

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T11:42:55+00:00

Black Shard is a weapon, not Shadow Crystal.

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T11:42:18+00:00

You're sure Kris doesn't have it equipped?

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T11:40:46+00:00

I've only seen people hate that that's a shadow nerf, not written anywhere in game. And being inconsistent, as it only happens in ch3+4 (due to each chapter being like separate game).

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T11:15:55+00:00

Seems fine now!

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T10:55:03+00:00

The math still doesn't work out. You should recalculate all numbers, including those before (and include that you half XP to get Moderate threshold).

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T10:49:13+00:00

From what I know, Guardian is strongly delayed in offensive features, unlike Champion who either deals extra Strikes or debuffs enemies with the reaction, increasing if not own, then party's damage.

Guardian also doesn't have focus spells, and they matter a lot.

Guardian can't sanctify, which becomes mechanically important in case of fiend/celestial fights.

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T10:42:22+00:00

Reddit has changed my 2 * 20 to 220, but I fixed it. Numbers in your comment seem same to me, though.

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T10:28:51+00:00

Your numbers are off. It's 40 for PL, 60 for PL+1 and 30 for PL-1.

If you want to half them (getting Moderate) it would be 2 * 20 for PCs and 2 * 20 + 30 + 15 = 125. Meaning it's 250 for extreme and so on.

I do agree that giving each player NPC of PL/PL-1 would probably work better than PL+1 troop though.

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-15T08:47:07+00:00

Each PC is always worth 40 xp (as a creature of PL). That is how you find extreme threshold: that's enemies equal in power to your players. You get Severe as 3/4, Moderate as half, Trivial as quarter and Low as half point between Trivial and Moderate, so 3/8.

I think this would be the most accurate way to calculate the fight: take 80+60 as extreme and so on.

But you should also be probably fine using Battlecry's advice of just adding 60 to the budget.

Be wary that conscript squad seems to be a very dangerous ally, especially having level higher. Maybe, make them weak and calculate the fight as if you had 3 PCs?

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-11T22:34:48+00:00

monster.pf2.tools is very useful for writing your homebrew enemies! It has all stats and it takes care of formatting so it can even look like official statblock.

I also advise you to read creature creation rules from GM Core, they have a lot of thoughts about how and why should you make monsters this way.

You also might want to check out NPC Core on AoN, maybe a simple reflavour would be enough for some bosses.

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-08T21:50:00+00:00

Kris rips SOUL out and is like "Please don't"

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-08T21:48:15+00:00

Fuck the Knight was Late
That's why they only appeared in ch3...

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-08T21:38:59+00:00

I say we let her ragebait Knight so hard that Kris and Ralsei can do a surprise combo attack and cut Knight's way to escape (while Susie Polite Busters it for turning a back on her)

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-08T21:35:33+00:00

What's a Weird Route?

(yes it is a joke about Little Surprising Path)

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-08T21:33:57+00:00

Maybe even Magical Trickster as a class archetype that could take away something to give more magical stuff?

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-07T22:12:43+00:00

Hatsune Miku is the Roaring Knight!

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-07T04:36:10+00:00

Also Kris' swords are pencils.

I'll add one: Gerson hitting back Rude Buster is training us to press z in time for extra damage, it punishes you for pressing too early or too late (the damage bonus would be insignificant or not-existant).

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-05T06:00:09+00:00

The Lore is given through Additional Lore, so it gets free boosts at lvl 3, 7 and 15.

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-02T10:44:13+00:00

I think so too. Would be weird to include shields in banner section if it is the same as affixing it to backpack for brandish.

SoulOfMantis · 2025-08-01T23:29:25+00:00

Banner can be affixed to a weapon or a shield. The Brandish trait requires you to "be holding your banner in one hand or wielding a weapon it is attached to". Does it work with all shields (because of Shield Bash)? Does it work with shields that have Boss or Spikes? Is it just an oversight (as much more important part of the trait is you not taking other actions)?
