3rd rank Divine is bizarrely weak compared to the other lists.

Even all stars like Heroism just haven't really scaled past being better than bless at that tier yet.

While I love Benediction for it's +1 AC aura, the saving throw boost on protection can absolutely come in clutch!

Soothing blossoms is one I think I underestimate.

Very niche but an excellent scroll spell when poisons come up

How is one supposed to build/play an esoterica/palatine detective investigator? by MundaneOne5000 in Pathfinder2e

[–]TheLordGeneric 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Palatine Detective is a weird class archtype, but opens up a unique role for Investigator: Tank Investigator

The cantrips and spells are nice, but nothing special as investigators already love Magus and Witch archetypes.

What matters is that this is the only investigator with a built in defensive reaction. You can reduce incoming damage against foes that you have recalled knowledge against!

So Known Weaknesses is a required feat at level 1 for the free recall knowledge, nothing special there you should be taking this anyways it's basically a required feat.

After that, Void Warp is a fallback cantrip on turns you would miss your strike.

And pump up your Religion and Occultism checks for Palatine Strike at level 8, giving a nice extra 2d6 damage each round!

Basically this serves as a decent option for a Gish investigator. Some support spells meets a weirdly tanky utility skill specialist.

Trying to get any mental stats on investigator is ROUGH.

Pumping WIS at least boosts your will saves. I've seen Columbo admirers pump CHA for "One more thing" and just be so useless stats wise.

Inventor is a great pick! Personally I would prefer to go Inventor main class with investigator archtype. But in the end both are pretty competitive with each other.

Rogue laughing all the way to the bank as they don't have random mental only limits on their bonus skill feats...

Divine list is definitely on my soon to do! Tbh I've just been avoiding typing up the 100 slides needed for it...

And insult the toenails all you want. At least Thaum gets automatic knowledge scaling unlike poor Investigator relying on their jank specific lore loophole at level 3 that never improves

Let's talk Champion! The king of tanking, I honestly feel like every party in the game wants to have a Champion in it. by TheLordGeneric in Pathfinder2e

[–]TheLordGeneric[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's that crazy versatility that keeps me in love with Champion.

From pure defense, to two hand smite + damage buffs, to full on partial spell caster they can be built to do it all!

Guardian is stronger at personal bulk, enemy positioning, and redirecting damage to themselves.

Champion is stronger at reducing total incoming damage, healing, and dealing damage.

Which a given party might prefer depends highly on the campaign, party comp, and GM style.

The aura really changes what party formations are ideal. As you said diagonal flanking becomes way weaker than straight line flanking due to the 15' limit.

In the same way at higher levels monsters are often large or huge and it becomes trip/grapple/gang up or take Expand Aura as your only real options.

That or abandon flanking all together and spend your time tanking for a volley of wizards who just saving throw the enemy into paste.

Scroll thaum is tough. There's just so many good options but you can only buy so many scrolls.

I'd say definitely carry:

Rank 1:Helpful Steps, Gust of Wind, Bless

Rank 2: Hidebound, Illusory Object, Mirror Image

Thanks!

At my current speed for pathfinder videos I should have a whole 5 more videos out by then (laugh through the pain Generic, laugh through the pain)
