Her smile and optimism edition>What is /crpgg/?This general is dedicated to the discussion of computer role playing games such as:Arcanum, Baldur's Gate, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium, Divinity: Original Sin, Dragon Age, Expeditions, Fallout, Icewind Dale, Jade Empire, Necromancer's Tale, Neverwinter Nights, Pathfinder, Solasta: Crown of the Magister, Pillars of Eternity, Planescape: Torment, Shadowrun, The Age of Decadence, Temple of Elemental Evil, Tyranny, UnderRail, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Wasteland, Wizardry, and many others.>Recommendations:https://files.catbox.moe/gx6f4u.png>Computer Role Playing Games Resources:https://pastebin.com/NEvHHATehttps://monkposter.github.io/community.htmlPrevious: >>538638368>Thread QuestionShould the protagonist have a sibling?
>>538794025>Should the protagonist have a sibling?The protagonist should have a twin of the opposite sex, and when you choose your gender in character creation, you're choosing which one you're going to be.
>>538794025>Thread Question>Should the protagonist have a sibling?No, because modern writers are single-child millennials and can't accurately write a sibling.
Started Pathfinder WOTR a bit ago, going in mostly blind though I did google a few vague things such as early time limits that could fuck me over, but some confusion on the 3 rest limit you have in act 1 to get some stuff done. I saw a post saying this is counted when you start a rest, not when you end it, so even if you enter the rest menu and cancel it'll still use up one of the 3. Is that true for all 3, or just the final one for triggering the event? I accidentally did this once already because I got a tooltip about my spellbook when entering the rest menu and now I'm not sure if that counts as me having used 2 rests or 1... (Though it occurs to me this might also be an old bug that's patched out already.)
>>538794025>TQnoeither they will be very annoying, only exist to try to guilt trip us when they die/turn evil later, or everyone will bitch endlessly that you can't fuck them (virtually)
>>538794025>Should the protagonist have a sibling?Sure if it fits the story. You fags just want a little sister because you have a incest fetish though.
The protagonist should have a daughter like Clem in The Walking Dead
>>538794025Duncan is one of my favorite crpg companions. So yes.
icewind dale or baldur's gate?
>>538795703IWD. It's straight to the point and doesn't waste your time on a parade of NPC clowns
>>538794336>Getting close to the rest limitAs long as you aren't playing on unfair or a low strength dex warrior the two rest path is easy then just go back and sleep in the tavern.
There should be three siblings, and choosing between them is choosing your class>Eldest brotherWarrior>Middle brotherMage>Little sisterThief
>>538795703under which regards?
>>538794025I like matkina and imoen so yeah, but I don't like the anons that keep wanting to fuck them so no
>>538794142>Character who is an alien tomboy evil slut alien that got corrupted by you and become redeemed and super loyal
>>538796960DH will have this
cRPGs for this feel?
>>538795590Nah, kids are cunty. Just give me a dog or a cat
>>538794025>CRPG where you're living the simple rural life with plants and livestock and your small family and village>strange foreigners come to town following the prophecy>turns out you're The Chosen One>tutorial village, then ready to set out with your strange new companions>nervous but excited, the weight of responsibility starts to be felt>a few days out, they realize a mistake was made>your brother is actually the Chosen One>awkward days journeying back>he leaves with them>spend the rest of the game doing your chores and taking care of your family and household>get news about all the things your brother is doing abroad>village can't stop talking about every new thing>"Wow anon that's so cool, you're seriously related to Him?">y-yeah, heh, its pretty cool>your parents die>your brother sends a fuckton of gold back>you have nothing to really spend it on

>>538798267Well that's it I've got to replay baldur's gate through to Throne of Bhaal again now.
>>538798267it's not the same without the NPC belches and "HEEEEY"s
>>538797267>game ends suddenly with you having a heart attack, and a long unskippable message about the dangers of heart disease, and steps you, the player, can take to mitigate them
So is the steam verification of temple of elemental evil adding anything new?
>>538794025>Thread QuestionCareful, you'll attract the Andy and Leyley degenerates
>>538800087I highly doubt it. It'll just be the bug fixes from the fanmade patch I'm guessing.Not much point buying it if you already have it on gog.
One thing that doesn't make sense about 5e is that thief and fighter get extra feats but barbarian doesn't.
>>538794025>thread questionNo, incest fags are annoying.
GURPS will save crpgs
Gurps X-Files CRPG when?
>>538801251Most table top rule sets don't translate well to video games and always have to be modified, more studios should just take some lessons from wasteland,jagged alliance,pillars ect.. and just make thier own system.
I cast time stop then nuke your whole party.
Will Syndicate ever get a proper CRPG reboot?
>>538801567Excuse me sir, but I purchased a scroll of protection from undead at the local cleric. I'm afraid you'll have to stand still and die as I melee you slowly.
>>538794025>Thread QuestionBring back the uncensored mod. You know the one.
>>538801251Fallout 1 and 2?
will you play my text adventure CRPG when I finally get around to actually starting it
>>538803198if its one of those "type in what you want to do" ones than no because I suck at those
>>538803198why python
>>538803198I tried coding a little game in python recently too and just kept getting annoyed with it. Also, compiling a python project always results in antivirus false positives, you're better off making your project in C or C++.
>>538803198This general can’t read unfortunately
>>538803314Tell me how you 'suck at those', and anything you like about bad/good. The eventual intent is to be a "text-ish" adventure, a graphical UI that has some areas like map, picture for something you're looking at specifically, input help etcThought today about 'planning a route' vs fast-travel where you'd ie 'plan go to store' and the exits for continuing on according to that plan would be highlighted, and ideally you could just hit enter or click 'go' to keep going along that path.In over my head, just a hobbyist but it's really fun to think about how to handle everything. I hated shit in infocom games like:>sit on chair> Error: There is no 'on chair' here>sit chair> Sorry, there is no 'chair' here>sit throne> Sorry I don't understand 'sit throne'> FUCK FUCKING FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCKI'm also trying to keep systems general enough that it won't need to be text prompt necessarily, but I'm really just fucking around.
>falling for the innocent solo dev gimmick yet againhow many schizos will 4chan burn through before they get it
>yell 'I don't like you, die!'>kill guy
>>538803198>text adventure CRPGwhat the fuck does this even mean?
>>538803534Actually started in C as a medium for learning C with a project in mind, but then moved to python as a kind of prototyping ideas. Will probably move back to C eventually, after I feel like I fully understand pointers and memory allocation. Things were going very good but I felt a little underwater with things, but I want to return to this. The python was meant as a temporary prototype to see how I want everything to actually work, without getting caught in the weeds with fundamental things I might change.I also feel like a good approach to programming is "high level as you can get away with, profile, drop down at bottlenecks." But I'm pretty mid with programming so that's a bit untested.I have a background with math/stats that's rusty as hell so I want to get into some kind of sim shit but in text form (which I feel is cheap as hell, so should be great) to review/relearn/learn that stuff. I have ideas of a "elevate agents from cohort" thing, and other shit I want to eventually play with>>538804135nothing wrong with schizo hobbies, but I'm more drunkard than schizo. Strike down a man who's just playing, right?>>538804243a CRPG, in text adventure form. I don't know how that could be confusing.
>>538804135Text games are at least the one genre where almost all of them are made by one guy
>>538804725>drunkardcarry onat least you'll just leave it half finished instead of grooming a bunch of kids to do or think some fucked up shit in a discord
I'm considering playing rogue trader again, did they add new force swords? It was huge turn off for me when I learned that the only cool one was for heretic runs
>>538805325wait why does it even matterthe game is so remarkably breakable you have to put in effort for it to be a challenge
>>538805116... you ok my dude?super rough idea of what I mean as "text-ish" GUIminimal I/O, lots of graphical helperspygame, python is helpful as a prototype middle step, quickly spin up things to decide how you feel about
>>538805774yeah i just have a memory that lasts more than a couple months unlike most burgers, this site has a really annoying and desu kinda tragic history w/ enabling retarded solo devs who go on to do something fucked
>>538805680Its more about the cool factor, the other force swords just felt boring
>>538805904huh. i'm a big fan of fashion gaming so i get it but i never really cared about like... whether the weapon i used were unique or interesting within the universe. you can just headcanon that stuff. interesting.
>>538805881not sure of your point, are you mad I'm working on a shitty text adventure crpg for fun?
>>538805680People just like getting cool weapons man
>>538803198>Take All
>>538806056He thinks you'll become a crazed tranny shooter
>>538805325They added quite a few of them. Jimmy and my psyker trader both have them as standard. Not even part of the DLC, it was a patch.
what's the speedrun record for bg2 no glitches
>>538806225Understandable, there's been about 5 of them
>>538806056>>538806225neither i'm more worried you'll just waste your time working on this and get convinced you have an audience when its really like a dozen autists, have it go to your head, and wind up a homeless lolcow like yanderedev
A-aru... Arueshalae...
>>538806680Appreciate your concern as sincerely as you offer it.
>>538806805Anon...I...I
>>538806342Neat, thanks
>>538806907*anon blushed*
lately I've felt too tired to even play a role
>4 character party limit>in a mouse controlled, top down perspective, turn based crpgwhy? this is a limitation straight from tpp action rpgs where you can't manually control your companions for the most part
>>538807683The more characters you have the more difficult it is to balance and design encounters
>>538807683The more characters you have, the more tedious the turn gets.
>>538807683Having alot of sex is tiring
>>538808101this is why you put all points in constitution
>>538804062>Tell me how you 'suck at those', basically just what you described in the green text, my autism and the computer's autism are on seperate wavelengths
>>538808101>picrelhe looks like he could make dudes gay.
>>538794025Yes, but only if you can sex them
I have never played temple of elemental evil? Since its a troika game im assuming either the story or combat is super good. If the answer yes to either one I'll probably get it when it comes out on steam.
>>538811879I just realized has there ever been a troika game with good combat and a good story? I think the closest they got is arcanum, if it were slightly less buggy and janky it would probably be good.
>>538794336It's not measured in rests, but in time passed. You can rest 4 times if you rush certain things and you go to the Tower of Estrod early to delay the attack.
>>538812101Arcanum doesn't have either
>>538812482Oh I see, thanks for the info
What do?
>>538813037>one off event popup>some stat adjustments this way, some stat adjustments that wayDoesn't matter, the game won't really remember what you picked, just mouse over the choice effects and pick the one you feel is better.
The protagonist should *be* the sibling.
>>538814794What does this even mean
>>538815745Cucked by your own brother
>>538794025>Should the protagonist have a sibling?The only time a sibling was good was in DA2 with Carver because they somehow as shit as that game was managed to make him a chaarcter of his own and actually make the sibling thing part of his character. So the answer is, as always - only if you do something with it
>>538795590The only reason people like Clementine is because not even once in the entire game does she act like a child, In that regard she's a completely failed character
>>538813037The sodliers matter more. I'm sure there's a get out of jail free card anyway down the list that you decided to cut out in order to generate discussion and shitflinging though
Jaheira probably had other partners before Khalid. That's why she moved on so quickly.
>>538816709this is getting tiresomewhy do you keep doing this shit
Man, Phantasmal Killer is fucking bullshit. A good, honest Evocation caster has to work his way through one HP at a time and tell you me these Illusion school fucks can just show the monster their parents fucking and it was so cringe the monster just keeled the fuck over? Fucking hell
As an Asian, tight knit small village like this was a fucking pain in the ass. Fucking bane of my existence. Old, busy women in the village would poke their noses around, gossip all day and act like they are your direct family for some fucking reason and i don't mean the "oh honey you look famished here have some food and money and why don't you fuck my daughter while you are at it" type of relative
Include a tip this way, for starters:Game: tipGiving a vocaroo for the tip is better, and I of course reserve the rights to edit your content so don't be (too) retarded. Some retarded is ok.Think about "Hit 1 for WotR" .... "Hit 1 for Builds"....Specify your tip, or don't, it is all fucking ridiculous and pointless.
>>538817750Also sorry "outlanders", this will be a US number, for simplicity and cheapness sake.
>>538817750Text is fine though too, but keep it concise, it will be TTS.
>your sibling is the antagonist>you can choose to join them and there are no strings attached, they genuinely want you on their sidekino
>your sibling is the antagonist>you can choose to do a sick ollie and then roundhouse kick them off a cliffso kino when this happens....
>>538818170Sarevok
There is an anon here who CONSTANTLY posts the same PF WotR thread, like once or twice a day. I want to let you know I finally gave it a proper try and I'm really enjoying it. Even the Crusade mode is kinda fun. Really digging it all.
>start drinking and playing dungeon crawler>take off shirt and keep drinking>drink enough that you can't stand and the room's spinning>move from dungeon crawler to ddofpbpbased/thread
September is almost halfway done, shouldn't ToEE be out by now?
218-514-5160yes I will see your phone #, no I don't care and won't look, plus you should have a throwaway in 2025 rightproof of hotline reality, numbers seriously only cost $1/mo
>>538817686>As an AsianOpinion discarded
I probably made it weird, in my attempt to assure it isn't weird. Big oof. What a big dumb oof. I'll try again some other time, in a better way. I'll have a good menu system with CRPGs I like and a couple tips.
Did someone misplace their bot?
No, I just really thought it would be a fun idea to have a hotline for CRPG tips from the community but I fucked it up like I fuck up everything
>>538820396Just your average schizo
>>538820837
>>538820837>Local man is fucking autistic
I wanna try out Tyranny but i don't know if i can handle another another Obsidian.tm real time combat system. Fucking had it up to fucking here with Pillar and i really had to grit my teeth to finish them out of principles Is the plot atleast good/ consistent?
>>538821193I know you are but what am I
>>538821582for what it's worth i like tyranny miles more than the poe games. it has flaws but the setting's cool and the magic system's cool and it has a werewolf waifu that likes to smell your dick and lick your fingers and you can't fuck her because obsidian is the fucking devil but it's cool
Well I guess I'll shut it down. I suppose it was a stupid idea, you've convinced me.
>>538821582Tyranny was an interesting experience when I first tried it.My view of it was initially colored by subverted expectations as I wanted a game like SWtOR's dark side alignment options where it let you play a bad guy in an indulgent way.Like oh what if you *were* the big bad and went out and seized all the resources from this village and then vanquished the shining paladins that came to take you out. But smarter than my example.Instead its an exploration of morality and the motivations of the powerful. And its pretty good as that, but it helps to go in expecting that. The game's marketing and premise promises a candy bar but you get some broccoli, basically.
>come up with a stupid idea>people tell you it's a stupid idea>spend an embarrassing amount of time doing it>it's a stupid idea
I think anon is high
>>538822090actually im the who else is high af anon and im currently trying to beat aksha, because last time i tried i kept making silly mistakes and got wiped 3 times
>>538822290cast that sunlight sp[ell or whatever the fuck it's called that's hwo you fuck them vampries
>>538817686You don't like law of Jante?
>>538816063In the first game she acts like a kid
>>538820142You didn't make it weirdThe entire idea was weird to begin with
Should I level Lann as a cleric? I really don't want to use Sosiel.
why is there a hogwarts emblem on the floor, am i going to be sorted into a house next
>>538823434No it was a very good idea.Everyone else was wrong.
>>538825989Yes you will be sorted into the "console shitter" house
>>538825412Make a mercenary instead, it'll be more interesting than either of those two.
guess I'll just make a dial-a-story phone number then for blind people
>>538825412Why would you ever need a Cleric with Daeran around
>>538826402i'm playing this on pc, you do realize that you can do so with a gamepad right?
>>538826771For the domain abilities obviously.
>>538826789Perhaps I have misjudged you
>>538826683JUST MAKE A PHONE SEX LINE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON GOD ANON
>>538822290God that UI is bad.
>>538826789It makes it worse that you’re choosing to do that to yourself
>>538826857Just make him a divine hunter or sacred huntsmaster.
>>538828217But they acquire their domain abilities so late.
maybe some other general wants a hotline
>>538828616no one's gonna call you weirdo
Why is this autistic nigga so obsessed with this idea lmao
>>538829360it's not calling me it's calling for tips and who knows what else about your favorite CRPGs
Why does aksha get 3 legendary actions a turn again?

>>538832003Tremer is a base clan its 20 bucks for lambosa and toreador.
>>538831175I’ve seen much worseAt least arkane game clone still resembles bloodlines
>>538832228If it was anything even resembling a CRPG I'd consider letting them rape me for even a hundred bucks considering how kino the original was. But it isn't.

Kibellah's carnival seems to randomly pick how many stacks to apply with the only rule being that it has to be more than last timeIt sucks but I guess I'm just not supposed to equip some items or else the game breaks
>>538833687Who are you quoting
Rogue trader feels like they crammed a massive novel into a crpg.
Will pillars 3 ever happen?
>>538834039Think of your own shitposts instead of copying youtube titles
Rogue trader feels like someone's massive adderall-fueled fanfiction was crammed into an rpg.
>>538834039
>>538834095Ask Sawyer at pax Australia
All dialogue should be written like my screenplays actually
>"hey are there any [item] in rogue trader?">"Are you kidding me? You're asking a question about the game? Don't you know you can do [list of unrelated and optional things] to completely break the game?"Sometimes I witness genuine autism browsing these threads. Like people who genuinely cannot relate to or comprehend other people and it's obvious in how they post.
>>538834372I thought he was "done" with the IP after nu obsidian got gobbled by MS?
>>538834095>>538834372>>538834476Today i will remind them
no dialogue, just body language and sex
>>538834425>sometimes
>>538834636>ewgs go thru an ungodly amount of hoops to make their gods>one is born au naturale anyway
>>538834476According to sawyer microsoft wants them to continue what they are doing but "grander" so expect pillars to be turn based and have mo cap sex scenes like bg3.
>>538834747Wasn’t the actual hard part them fucking up reincarnation forever
>>538834904the wheel got retconned to just speeding reincarnation up instead of being a fundamental part of it.
Today I played the role of a vault hunter in borderlands 4. It was pretty fun.But I think I'm going to swap back to playing the role of grey warden in dragon age 1. Some of these borderlands guns sure would be useful against the darkspawn.
I can't wait for dungeon siege 4 but grander.
>>538835218do they still have the dungeon siege license? Dungeon siege but with super good graphics would be fun and they couldn't fuck up a story as simple as dungeon siege.
>>538835056I didn’t play avowed but the way I always understood it was that it existed but was more chaotic before the wheel.
>>538835165>borderlands 4Can you STOP having shit taste for a second?
>>538834747Spoil Avowed for me, it has been so long i already forgot Pillar 1 and 2's plot but from what i remember it was kinda like this>Gods are AI ackually lol >People are retarded and they need things to worship>Capitalism monetizes literal souls>It is a good thing ackually lol >Dude god resurrected right under my house and he took my estate with him >God kaiju fight>Rail road lol
>>538835373woe, gay tranny niggers upon ye
Can someone who's finished avowed give their honest opinion on it?It doesn't look too bad to me but idk if I want to blow money on it.>>538835056Reincarnation was always there it was just kind of shit before the wheel. A lot more defects like the hollowborn.
>>538811879It's a Troika game in that "it requires a big ol' fan-made mod/patch" to work properly. The story is the same as the old AD&D module T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil, so it's not exactly high literature.
>>538835718Pillars is just egregores and samsarathere is absolutely nothing unique about the PoE religion for people to still be this upset about years later
>>538835870Ask again when the discount hits 50% and I’ll tell you.
Going to start expeditions rome today. What's generally a solid class for the main character?
Is there any point to having crane style in wotr when your horse is tanking everything anyway?
Every crpg should just have a dungeon siege like story.
>>538834865I don't want it to be "grander' I want isometric RTwP (and sometimes turn based) rpgs, even if the text is shitty and bad like Owlcat's. I even have a preference for pre-rendered environments like Pillars.
Pillars 3 will be bg3 but good.
>>538836658Pillars 3 was Avowed
>>538836514well too bad faggot, BG3 sold more than it ever should have in any reasonable timeline so now you're stuck with Microsoft mandated UE5 Cinematic Experiences
>>538836693avowed was the new veags spin off side game of the pillars universe.
>>538836467sawyer would have a stroke if you forced him to make a game with barley any story and dialog.
>>538836452No. You can go all in on offence. If anything you could go for heavy armor for perfect storm + mounted shield
>>538836452To tank harder
>>538835718There's a forgotten/new god of life and mushrooms in town. You can choose to parent it like Nomos or you can side with a cool paladin of Woedica to not let the upstart god feast at the sovls distribution table.Biggest let down was to learn that when you side with a new god you will not get to look like a shroom skelly from the cover art, and it makes the final battle worse because you will not get a fight between two cool skellies.>>538835870It's decently fun I would say. Once you get how exploration works it can be pretty mindless. Combat is decent to good. I've payed some attention to 3-4 characters, the rest are skippable.
>>538837370>cool>paladin of Woedica
Woepussy
>>538837948who else would a paladin simp for if not the god of oaths and law and being fucking annoying
>>538837370Nigga looks mad gay
>Jon IrenicusIs there some way to contain or control this guy?
>>538838659Cast time stop then nuke him
Paladin of Vodka
>>538838202Mommy Berath of course
>>538838807I think he was immune to timestop>>538838659Poke at his veins
All I remember from Deadfire is all the gods are basically AI retards and Eothas did nothing wrong by breaking the cycle or whatever the fuck he did.
>>538838659I can't even remember what he was trying to doSomething about his dead wife, and probing Imoen with various devices.
>>538839235Eothas is a crybaby retard that decided to nuke the world in a tantrum because nobody liked him
>>538836441Anything but Gladiator for your first playthrough. It's a gimmick class that relies heavily on equipment.
>>538839258Forcing his way into a prophecy that he was not a part of because he's a bitter faggot is a decent villain motivation imo.
If Irenicus is such a good villain why does he look like a fucking dork
why does india exist
>>538839745I don't know anon. I keep hoping for some super plague to develop from that disgusting river they have and wipe all of them out.

>>538794025>Her smile and optimism editionraped right out of her

>>538849657that's the implication even if they never say it that way
>>538849657There are a lot of games that feature playersexuality. In fact it's an industry norm at this point.

>>538850838>marilith demonthought they were just bundles of rage with 6 arms
>>538849504I've always interpreted it differently.Whenever I've seen "playersexual" come up I've thought that it was non-canon or soft-canon. That is, the character is normally straight but when someone gay is playing their non-canon playthrough can still have a romance option.The other circumstance ofcourse is when the player is straight but playing a female protagonist, but the same logic applies, except in that case it exists to satisfy an erotic narrative.CRPGs are inherently all adventure+romance novels for a typically male audience and they've only gone astray because the designers of them during the 00s-10s realised this and couldn't grapple with the truth.

>>538859693It's funny that her entire personality changes in ToB too probably to distinguish her from Imoen more.

>>538856582You're the same age.

Totally unnecessary for how few they are + you should be using keyboard shortcuts anyhow.I have WASD mapped to camera control and I can't remember what I remapped spellbook to but it works nicely, I could look if you really wanted me to. Also remapped resting because way too easy to accidentally hit that.

lmfao I spent the entire fight trying to stack will save penalties, misfortune, evil eye and even tried touch of law (forgot about the +4 due to indomitable will, so it failed too) to get this bastard to fail a heightened hold person from DaeranEventually he just fails a grease save, gets clobbered by Aivu for two turns, and then my Skald dispels his bear's endurance and he dies. What a game.
>>538886070not every summoner can rain toxic frogs from the sky, cast flaming bats or throw jars with giant spiders
Are there any mods that let you skip ship combat? I'm tired of this awful mechanic.

>pozzfinderfascist talk
There must be some kind of special hidden extra bonus to Grease that forces the dice distribution to be non-uniform. Some retarded fucking Owlcat playtester dev put that in there because he couldn't beat the game so he made a cheat spell that works disproportionately more often than any other CC save spell in the game.

if your crpg cannot be beaten by a basic bitch fighter, guess what, the difficulty is overtuned and artificial
>>538888362Dropped in favour of Black Science Lady
>>538887947It literally makes you feel greasy to use it to win a fight. Of course my autism is such that I feel that way about a lot of things (using hexes, outflank chaining, making use of the synergies of a full and balanced party and all the buffs they can get, etc).
>>538888362
The best part about CRPGs are:
>>538888329No it's broken even in turn based, and you can't say "muh saves" because I've consistently seen high reflex save human enemies fail them while shrugging off hold person spells effortlessly.
>>538888983Isn't Hold a Will check?
>>538888939The build variety.
>>538888829>hexesHexes are fair during a fight. They cost an action to land and a cackle to stick. Prehexing is cringe though>outflank chainscringe>making use of the synergies of a full partythat's literally the game
>>538888939the words
>>538888939Romancing stacked halfling sluts.
>>538889071My point is that enemies that should fail wis saves and succeed reflex saves, fail grease all the time and never fail hold person or slow or bane or touch of gracelessness or glitterdust or anything else but grease.
My tank got hit by the hold person spell during the Stag Lord fight and he couldn't do anything but watch his enemies whack him.
>>538889160>that's literally the gameYes, but its too effective. The only way to then challenge yourself is to turn up the difficulty, but what happens then is numbers just become bloated and pushes you even further into playing optimally.So instead I turn down the difficulty, and build around some autistic concept with skeleton party support (say, a martial with a skald and maybe a cleric, but nothing else, or a caster with a skill monkey rogue companion but no one else, and so on). I know, its just my autism, but I enjoy the game more this way at least.

Grease is perfectly balanced by the fact that it is annoying as fuck to deal with. It creates an uncertain graphic you also have to walk around and is an anti-synergy with all your own archers.
>>538890776>Annoying as fuck to deal with>Slaps Selective on itDone
>>538890906I guess, but by the time you are throwing metamagics on your CC's, I always move on to better options.

Damn, I saw the metamagic option but never once used it.

>>538888939Playing a game where the writing has more in common with books than modern Hollywood films/Netflix shows; especially in regard to characters
Maybe it's the other way around. Maybe it's actually hold person save dice that are tampered with, somehow. Just spent 5 turns trying to hold person on a basic cultist Conjurer and he just rolled 18 or more even as he was greased, sickened, blinded and I was literally just torturing him.Maybe it's Owlcat's idea of balancing the game so you can't coup de grace enemies.

>>538900747I don't remember the Moorcock cosmology except for the Law/Chaos bullshit but that 1e PHB map is simplified. The 1e Manual of the Planes has the whole deal, but there's no easy way to simply describe that; suffice to say there's no Feywild, or Maelstrom whatever the fuck that is, or Deep Dark etc.
What is the absolute oldest evil being in Pathfinder lore? The true original evil?
>>538900747Ye
>>538901441Rovagug, I'd say. It's the second oldest being in this iteration of the universe after Pharasma and solidly turbo evil.
>>538901441Qlipoths, Rovagug is just one of the oldest.
>>538898861Devils are orders of magnitude stronger but for some reason they only use their full power to carry out the terms of contracts. There's nothing magical about the contracts nor is there anything magical about the agreements the contracts represent. They're mundane pieces of paper. But if you sign that paper then devils can suddenly rip souls away from people involuntarily, grant wishes, and banish people to other planes of existence.Nothing about it makes sense.
Pharasma made the pathfinder universe? That's stupid. Should've been God.
