...an agile weapon sword saint? How would you play them?

Also, what is the earliest finesse agile weapon you can get in WOTR?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, where's the build up? Where can I view how much corruption I have from resting? Is it some hidden mechanic that I just randomly get after sleeping?

I'm halfway through my first (Angel) playthrough, but I'm already thinking about the next one. I like the concept of a Lich using melee touch attacks for things that get close and I've read that in the tabletop version Weapon Finesse works with them, since natural (touch) weapons count as light weapons.

I'm thinking about Weapon Finesse and then points into DEX (after INT) for AC and melee/ranged touch attack bonuses. Would that work?

Was just doing my Last Azlanti run on Hard and it was going pretty well (Even moved down Vescavore Queen without any issues)

But apparently when a companion dies during their quest level it's the same as if your KC dies resulting in an instant game over...

Was doing Ulbrigs quest and Ubring was caught between the Kalavakus and the succubi.

I was like ok no big deal i just rez him after (Remaining Kalavakus was 1 round from death and suddenly a pop up that GG run is over)

Had i known that would happened i would have instantly dropped Scale or raise dead scroll on him...

TLDR - Today i learned that companions dying in their Quest is the same as KC death = insta game over...

I play with martial weapons ( glaives ) and i’m not really insightful about the content and spells/feats along with the role play elements these paths might provide, some recommended aeon but it doesn’t sound interesting to me ( as a concept )

I'm planning on doing a full run integrating both DLCs. But it's asking me to import the Lord of Nothing right at leper's smile. That would mean I would have to complete both DLCs basically back to back.

I was planning on doing TTA before defender's heart like normal.

But I wanted to start LON at the end of act 3, finishing it before the end of act 4 to get a sort of "meanwhile..." theme to the whole story, switching between them as the story progresses.

That used to be possible when you load LON in act 5, but now it's asking me to to import it at leper's smile in act 2.

Does it still ask you to load on act 5 or do I miss the import if I don't load LON in act 2?

Hey there. I bought WOTR years ago and bounced off of it multiple times before deciding that it just wasn't for me. Since then, I've played the original Baldur's Gate games so I think it might be high time to dive into it again with a bit more classic CRPG experience under my belt.

That experience aside, I'm still by no means knowledgeable on Pathfinder so I'm not sure how to build my character. I'm thinking of going with a two-handed warrior type character, preferably with a half-orc as the race. I'm just not sure what class would be best for that, however. Open to essentially any class from barbarian to even like a ranger or something so long as it could be primarily in melee using a two-handed weapon. I'm seeing a two-handed fighter archetype but I'm not sure if it's good or not.

I'm also open to any other build advice such as feats and the like. Will probably end up rolling with normal difficulty if that affects it at all. I'm heavily considering doing Azata as my mythic path but also considering Angel. Anyone have any thoughts?

Started playing recently after finally getting bored of BG3 after over a thousand hours, and I'm struggling a bit with character creation.
Sorry for the multitudes of questions and if they sound stupid, but hoping someone could answer some of them.

I always choose the typical Archer in every game, ultimately I decided to choose Demonslayer Ranger, but I'm not entirely set on it. I'm quire surprised with all the different possible routes for Archers in this game, so what would be the 'best' to simulate the typical big-ranged-damage, bow only Archer, and what would be the other options (like the Eldritch Archer Magus)? I suffered a lot in BG3 by not having Charisma on the MC, would the Espionage Expert be better?

I also found out that lot of the companions are Archers/Ranged damage dealers, is this going to be a problem team-comp or gear sharing wise or should I not care for a first playthrough? Lastly, what would a good team comp look like with a pure Archer MC?

The whole point of subs and communities like this is to engage and interact over a game we all love. Why are you down voting people for asking basic questions and getting engaged with the material? The internet points ultimately don't matter, but you're just being a jerk for no reason.

Yes I'm aware of how much inciter skalds make barbs and bloodragers obsolete, and no I don't want to play one (already been done), this time for the demon path I'd like to go with primalist, but crpgbro has one set up for trickster so I can't rely on ol' faithful, and any other resource is pretty lackluster or outdated.

The whole bloodlines and primal choices is confusing the shit out of me honestly, and I'm not sure I can explain properly but I'll give it a go.

When you get primal choices, if you choose to take the two rage powers, does that remove EVERYTHING that the bloodline gave you on that level?

Is it worth choosing a bloodline with feats you want and ignore them during the normal leveling process (for example: abyssal bloodline has power attack, should I forgo using one of my earlier feats for it and choose something different so that the feat choices I have from bloodline are actually useful)?

When choosing a second bloodline through mythic, the second one doesn't get added to the character progression sheet, and on the level up screen you get two tabs (give up bloodline for rage, or keep bloodline) but neither are labeled. Is it safe to assume the first one is the first bloodline you chose and the next one is the second?

I never thought such a simplistic class could be so confusing to me 😂. I know what weapon I'd like to use, I know what feats I should be choosing, but it's these damn bloodlines that are screwing me up. Is a second one even worth it? Should I just go bloodrider? Instinctual warrior? So many choices it hurts my smooth brain.

Cheers all

No mandatory fight in the game up until now has made me put the game on story difficulty to complete it. I'm playing on daring, and I'm mainly asking this question because I want to play on core in my next playthrough, but I think I'll have to pass on that because of this fight. Short of installing mods, I don't see any way to kill this guy on difficulties higher than normal. My builds are solid, I understand the system fairly well, and yet my entire party just gets stunned or feared and then one shot in one turn because this guy gets like 8 attacks per round.

I told the succubi to poison him. I made the deal with the steward so my party could help me.

I have the following buffs applied to everyone: Protection from evil, protection from chaos, bless, prayer, guarded hearth, resist energy communal to acid and protection from energy acid (to counteract the other enemy's breath weapon.), haste, and unbreakable heart.

I have Arueshalae buffed as much as possible with her spells. Any abilities that would give penalties to attack rolls are turned off. I have her use Instant Enemy on him and then Share Quarry (probably not what it's called, the ranger ability that gives allies a part of her bonus to favored enemies).

Woljif has his dex mutagen from vivisectionist on, mirror image, blur, and mage armor.

Seelah uses mark of justice on him first turn.

Sosiel is my buffer. He has a glaive to attack with when he's not casting.

Ember debuffs and heals. Evil eye to AC, etc.

My character is a stigmatized witch lich. I use feast of blood and ennervate a lot.

Despite all of this, as soon as it's his turn, he either:

A: beelines 60m directly to my KC and one shots him.

B: beelines to my frontliners and one shots them.

then the other two are just insult to injury. never before have i been this stumped by a game. like i said i just put it on story because i was done with that shit, but i would like to get all the difficulty related achievements next playthrough on core. I just can't see any way to beat this guy. he has no weaknesses, no way to distract him, nothing.

So disappointed that shadowdancer weren't added as a prestige class! So im looking at ways of trying to mimic the class.

I have a few ideas:

1. Rowdy rogue 11/Shadowcaster wizard 9

2. Eldritch scoundrel

3. Shadow Shaman

4. Rogue 4/wizard 6/arcane trickster 10

5. Witch of the veil

6. Arcanist - for arcane exploit Dimensional slide

7. Arcane enforcer slayer

Trickster mythic for all as I think it fits the theme best. Ultimately, I want sneak attack, some spell casting - preferably illusion, stealth/Invisibility, teleporting (hence witch of the veil.

Also looking to go Kukri for weapons ideally!

Warning Spoilers ahead.

I've collected the four masks and placed them at the bottoms of the statues at Nameless ruins and walked on in to the Enigma. I'm having the following issues and used the Toy Box mod to try to fix them to no avail.

Note I do not use Toybox to affect this quest until it doesn't progress on it's own.

1. Entry into The Enigma. I kill the golem, put the blue stone into the depleted whatever-its-called and after hitting the button no door opens / no portal happens. I took note that even though I solved the puzzle, my Journal did not update.

2. I attempted to bypass all this by just teleporting to the final fight of this dungeon. Every time I go to fight them, they wont die. They go to zero health and just stay alive. So I used toybox again to kill al enemies assuming I glitched it somehow. However, I'm under the impression that >nenio is supposed to start talking at this point. She does not. No exit appears in the room.<

I attempted Etude adjustments to fix it, though I'm assuming I'm doing the wrong ones at this point. I've attempted force updating the journal. This has had no result.

I realize now, there is a >fight before the actual fight I'm apparently supposed to have inside the dungeon< so maybe that would help? but the lack of journal updating or an entry opening has me kind of... confused. I'm playing on PC.

Generally I avoid using toybox to win/advance for fear of breaking things. I've also avoided coming here to ask for help, as I generally don't like wasting people's time if I can solve it.

I seemingly can't solve these issues and have seen a few dead threads about 1 or 2 of the issues individually.

Restarting the game doesn't work. Restarting the whole device hasn't helped.

I have yet to try deactivating all mods and advancing.
I do not have remote dialogue activated, I just increase party size and bring everyone at once because I wanna hear the dialogue.

Any... Solutions or suggestions for solutions?

I just started playing and honestly, the character creation and mechanics are making my brain melt. It’s so overwhelming compared to Baldur's Gate 3!

In D&D 5e, my favorite classes are Warlock and Druid. For this game, I really want to build a character focused on Ice/Cold magic, and from what I've gathered, Witch or Shaman seem to fit that vibe perfectly (and they give me those Warlock/Druid feelings).

Since it's my first time playing, I’m looking for a beginner-friendly build guide or just some solid advice to get me through the early game.

In summary, I’d love to play something that lets me freeze enemies and do decent damage without bricking my character by act 2. Thanks in advance for the help!
