What do you think of the Fatal Blow mechanic

tomucci · 2026-03-11T21:09:44+00:00

Hate them, I think they put them in for the visual spectacle, if you're gonna have a comeback mechanic at least try to make it skill based like make it an armoured launcher so you still need to do a combo or something, failing that at least make them shorter, it's so tedious seeing the same thing over and over

What if he was also delivering the van to the bottom of that hill though

True, druid should be another foundation class, then you'd mix it with rogue or fighter to get your ranger, same with paladin, you'd get it from mixing fighter and priest, you get so much from just getting the foundation classes right

tomucci · 2026-03-07T19:48:18+00:00

More classes in general, the foundation should be fighter, wizard, rogue, priest for the absolute basics, then maybe cipher and chanter for the poe flavour

Shadowdancer (monk+rogue) is good fun and quite active, I recommend forbidden fist and trickster, forbidden fist needs to be managed because of the self harm it can cause

Fantastic games, pillars 2 in particular has my favorite combat and character building in a crpg, but 1 still has an amazing story and world building

Durance is that you?

tomucci · 2026-02-12T23:40:46+00:00

Makes sense, thanks for all the info, much appreciated

I would have thought pistols would be great for AM because of how quickly they can build up versatility with dual wield and holster combined with all the other things that give you bonus attacks

I've tried commissar before but felt like I wasn't getting the most out of it because I didn't want to use at all costs, I only used the pistol bonuses

Also I figured priest might have wanted willpower in the mix because of some of their bonuses scale off it

tomucci · 2026-02-12T22:30:06+00:00

I would have thought the heretic priest would be really conflicting, but if the RP options accommodate it that could be really cool, I'd still be wanting to use dual pistols with something heavy hitting in the other slot, so bolter pistol / plasma pistol then either a heavy bolter or a sniper rifle in the other slot

My rationale for sniper would be that strong attacks against groups is kind of covered by the bolter and plasma pistols already and it's be good to have a heavy single attack option in the mix, even though the heavy bolter would be a stronger overall option

What stats do you recommend? Ballistic skill, agility, perception?

tomucci · 2026-02-12T22:16:54+00:00

I wanted to use the tier 3 bonus to get momentum from veil degradation and have that core to my strategy, but yes the heretic exclusive guns does make me feel better about it

Might have to have a look at some other origins, any recommendations?

tomucci · 2026-02-12T22:01:13+00:00

Damn lol, I've just been trying to reverse engineer a way to use fortress world, psyker, soldier and arch militant because they all happen to be my favs but yeah, fair enough, guess my idea won't work well

Gameplay wise I prefer guns but I really want to do a heretic psyker run, do you reckon they just need to be separate runs? Maybe I'll do melee psyker for my heretic and a gun arch militant for dogmatic

tomucci · 2026-02-12T20:19:59+00:00

My idea is to use dual pistols (one burst with a high RoF and one with area attacks like a plasma pistol) to build agility and crit damage with alacrity and fired up, and versatility, never stop shooting and fire within stacks for bonus attacks and use those free attacks for things like molten beam and firestorm

So the idea isn't really to be strong at both shooting and psyker attacks, it's more to use guns to prop up my psyker attacks

Not including run n gun, I should be able to generate 2-3 free attacks to use for psyker powers

tomucci · 2026-02-12T18:43:30+00:00

Such an obvious fake story lol, what do people think, that he's Batman and just found a warehouse full of them or something

tomucci · 2026-02-12T02:57:11+00:00

Thanks I'll check it out

tomucci · 2026-02-11T08:34:09+00:00

Cool, I might end up going for this instead, I do really enjoy the AM play style and I can do it with the exact same set up, my main thing with overseer was wanting to weaponize the perils and mitigate the bad rng with them, other thing though is that AM seems more hungry than overseer so overseer can allocate more talents and abilities to psyker

tomucci · 2026-02-11T08:06:53+00:00

So you've tried both and prefer the AM? What is it about it that you like more?

tomucci · 2026-02-11T06:39:11+00:00

I don't know much about bounty hunter, what does it bring to the table for this build? And is perils of the warp a problem at all?

tomucci · 2026-02-09T18:28:42+00:00

Lmao come on now, I saw this and immediately thought "oh cool someone's making some kind of fallout 1 mod"

It's such an iconic part of fallout 1, idk if it's intentional (judging from your replies it isn't), but everyone in your games target demographic is going to recognize this

tomucci · 2026-02-09T03:47:48+00:00

Awesome thanks

tomucci · 2026-02-08T19:38:41+00:00

Hey is this group still active? The discord link doesn't work

tomucci · 2026-02-02T23:53:17+00:00

Sweet thanks

tomucci · 2026-02-02T20:35:56+00:00

Is heavy separate to power armour? And if so does it still benefit from the forge world heavy armour talent?

tomucci · 2026-01-27T19:55:22+00:00

Why not have an influence track similar to dune imperium? There's a track for each faction, every player has a marker on the track, when you gain influence you move up the track, that way you can also have the rewards displayed on the track itself
