I have just completed my devil run where I was romancing Camellia. The ending is bittersweet with Camellia unable to become normal despite truly loving the commander, so she ends up leaving to avoid getting the urge to kill the KC.

Arueshalae only ends up embarking on the path of goodness after a divine intervention from Desna. Based on the Aeon's true ending, she ends up being a typical evil succubus without receiving the special help.

This makes me wonder; could Camellia actually get fixed with a divine intervention similar to what Desna did, or is she doomed to live with her mental illness? This is hard to say seeing as Camellia still has her problems even in the ascension ending.

Has anyone run into this?

I’m a level 14 Kitsune Angel, and I’m pretty far into the game. I always play turn-based, but even out of combat, I cannot be targeted for any healing spell or buff. AOE and spells that target self work fine, but when I use any healing spell/buff from any character including myself, it’s acting like I’m not even there. I’m playing WotR on Switch 2.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yo wazzup! I recently finished a 62k-word, 19-chapter Demon Path fanfic and just started uploading it to AO3.

The premise: The Commander is a cheerful, affectionate, walking natural disaster without a moral compass (I'd phrase it as an Amoral Azata).

Rather than writing a 2-million-word play-by-play of the entire campaign, the story is written as a series of connected vignettes. It jumps through the early acts pretty quickly to focus heavily on the grim reality of the late-game (act 4 and 5).

The twist is that you never actually get the Commander's PoV. The story is told entirely through the eyes of the companions (Seelah, Anevia, Daeran, Wenduag, Nenio, etc.) as they try to survive, use, or fix her. The only look inside the Commander's head you get is through her aggressively oblivious, bubbly, absolutely non-diegetic (as one actually educated beta phrased) diary entries at the start of each chapter.

Igni doesn't want to rule the world. She just wants to have fun, keep her favorite spider-cat close, and set boring people on fire.

But absolute freedom comes with a body count. Daeran realizes his protector is worse than the monster in his own head, Wenduag discovers the terror of a master who refuses to hold her leash, Arueshalae's fragile faith is shattered by a predator who effortlessly rejects the Abyss not out of any principles but because Nocticula killsteals her, and Seelah watches her holy war turn into an abyssal occupation.

The manuscript is 100% complete, I'm posting chapters weekly, currently 6/19. If you like dark fantasy, unintentional comedy (Nenio is always hilarious), character studies, and seeing how the companions react to unhinged KCs, you might enjoy it!

A short excerpt, one of my favourite scenes from the 11th chapter that gave the title to the whole work:

> Diary: Ugh, palace meetings are the WORST. Shamira acts like scheduling is a personality, yapping for like HOURS, and Nocticula kept trying to do that whole 'I'm disappointed in you' mom-stare, even tried to ground me (lol as if). You don't steal a girl's goat >.< > > And then Shamira was being rude, so she went poof too. > > Daerie got all stressed because I melted some ugly curtains. Nobles are so dramatic about interior decorating. -.-" > > Like, babe, it was hideous anyway. You're welcome! <3 > > > > "I must say, my dearest Commander," he said smoothly, "watching you dismantle the local governance is thrilling, but did you have to melt the silk tapestry? Some of us appreciate the decor." > > Igni laughed, looking at him as if he had just asked a remarkably stupid question. > > "Silk burns faster than bodies, Daerie," she said. "You can't vaporize a demon without the curtains catching." > > Daeran’s smile remained precisely where it belonged, it just stopped reaching his eyes. He had cast a probing political line, and she had literally just answered him with thermodynamics. > She had decapitated an ancient empire, and she possessed absolutely zero object permanence regarding any of it.

Not sure if the fanart flair is the best flair, the _Story flair contains different posts.

That may sound weird, but hear me out. I love WotR, yet usually just make it to early act 3. I love edge. I'm also going through a depressive phase right now (hopefully just a seasonal upswing of my chronic affliction). So I assume a demon or god forbid a lich would make me feel even worse if I bring them to the endgame. With that in mind, what are some good paths to aim for for feeling better about the world? Azata is obvious THE feel-good path, but I just don't like it. My most recent character has been a trickster, but I'm getting messages of discouragement of Google. Are they true?

Which, for edge and feeling good at the same time presumably leaves me with a Retribution Angel.
Can I hear some opinions on that one (and the Trickster)?

So there's plenty of classes that can do both buffing and melee at the same time. But how many core-viable builds are there for melee characters who debuff their enemies? Between saving throws, spell resistances and immunities, that's a much harder job. I'd love to hear all your ideas. Bonus points if it's not just another variant on intimidation.

Hey guys.

I am trying to plan my build for Camellia. Playing the game for the first time so please no spoilers! I just finished act 1 and got 1 mythic level. I want her to be my tank and I was using crpg bro's build but in the comments I noticed people are reporting things have changed and so the build needs to be changed specifically mage armor from potion no longer activates the mythic armor skill that I can get. And there is also a new subclass drunken master which gives free access to unarmed strike and crane as bonus feat. So the plan is my build to get 1 lvl in drunked master and stigmatized witch instead of using 2 levels of Instinctual Warrior. The rest will be her main class(+Vivisectionist 1)

I have a few questions about the stigmatized witch just to make sure I understand how this subclass works (and the multi in general)

-from what I understand the curse that I will get will scale with 1/2 of my combined levels so if I pick Powerless Prophecy I will get Improved uncanny dodge eventually. Interestingly the description of this skill mention it will deny another rogue to sneak attack you unless the attacker is 4 levels higher and in this case it will use my oracle levels and that would be level 1. Does that mean I will be easly sneak attacked from rogues(I wont gain anything here) but the other part where it says I can no longer be flanked will still work? These are 2 different things right and only one is affected by the levels?

-the witch uses INT as casting attribute. Does this affects in any way her shaman Wis based casting?

-the witch gives u access to the mage armor spell but I wonder if this is effective way to get it since it will be a level 1 spell? Arent enemies dispelling later into the game the tanks? I imagine if this is dispelled I will lose the mythic armor right away? I wonder how the potion was even effective this way

-I wonder if I get a second curse from the mythic skills will it scale too with 1/2 my combined levels? These immunity curses seem pretty nice for a tank and I won't be hit from the negatives or I can even take Powerless Prophecy here to avoid the staggered effect

I admit that I have the fervor of a true believer on this issue because I was late to discover that Lann is potentially the best tank in the game.

And he's so much better at tanking than a certain helpful companion

Why?

1. Lann is a mongrel and mongrels get a unique natural armor bonus that stacks with other natural armor bonuses.

2. He has a monster stat spread - wisdom, dexterity, strength. Lann's starting stats are pretty awesome.

3. Lann is a monk and can go through the full crane sequence. Take a second level of monk, get the free dodge feat and you're off.

4. One pip to dex, one pip to wisdom and you out tank our favorite murder mistress

================

Potential dips / class switching

Want to make a Lann a helpful Shaman? You can do that and you can even choose a better shaman class than spirit hunter and start with a higher wisdom score.

Want to make him a Sossiel substitute that tanks? You do that as well.

Make him a empyreal sorcerer and you've got shield and mage armor which make him a touch AC monster capable of tanking the shadows in act 1

Grab a headband, make him a crossblooded sorcerer and you can take him through the dragon disciple sequence.

You could even give him a stigmatized witch dip and switch the dragon disciple over to the witch spellbook. Besides, a lizard familiar just makes roleplay sense for Lann, right? Right?

TL;DR - Lann is so awesome

Been working on this on and off for a while and thought I'd share where it's at.

It is a bit mashed together at the moment and buggy but the videos shows a new intro, a new enemy and model and some edits, such as Deskari with a top hat.

New Boss / Model and Area edit (model is Veigar from league of legends)
Custom Area and Level
Alternative intro / quest / model edits (quick demo still buggy but playable)

This is very early alpha/WIP, with no public release yet. Mostly wanted to see whether people would be interested in something like this. A campaign creator is something I’d like to explore down the line too if this got enough interest, before putting weeks into something like that.

What do you guys think? and do you have any suggestions of what you would like to see?

New Level / Area

Custom Intro / Cutscene

Custom Boss / enemy

How I understand the lore of the Wrath of the Righteous Main Character, the Mythic Paths are available because Areelu’s experiment on the MC let them absorb mythic energy from sources around them. The following paths are available and the reasons for so for example:

Angel: MC came into contact with an angel’s sword and absorbed its power.
Demon: Areelu is a demon and interacted with the MC before the game started.
Aeon: lingering power from an actual Aeon that fought in Kenabres can be absorbed.
Azata: by following the Desna follower quest in Kenabres, the MC gets a vision of Elysium and gets in contact with actual Azatas.
Lich: contact with another Lich and their Phylactary.
Gold Dragon: the dragon Terendalev casts magic on the MC at the start of the game. The MC has further contact with an actual Gold Dragon later on.
Devil: contact with Mephistopheles in the Aeon and Azata paths. Power is cemented through a contract.
Swarm: experiments from MC and later eating a powerful Vescavor.

My question now is where did the Trickster path come from? There isn’t really an equivalent being that the MC comes into contact with before the path starts. Despite that, they get Trickster related intuition in Kenabres.

The time limit ended (glitch) and i failed with over 80 hours left. thankfully i turned on autosave before that. Im playing on geforce now so no mods lol. Ive tried to beat the beginning of this game before lots of times with that glitch ending runs and other things like gettimg lost.

When there's evil trolls romping about your neighborhood, who ya gonna call?

Troll Busters!

Trying to build a Shaman Angel for Daring difficulty. Maybe bump it up to core

Not sure where to go from here

Mythic Ranks:
1: Second Spirit Battle
2: bonus mythic Abundant casting
3: improved Abundant Casting
Not sure of the order after that. But I need the last abundant casting and I want both enduring spell ranks

Any advice is appreciated. I’ve played through the first 2 acts a few times but usually get overwhelmed and stop at act 3 but really want to get through that this time. Only thing is I’m pretty set on being a nature divine caster. So if you think a Druid could do this better let me know. But I don’t think they’re set up for it

Or some ways of nerfing yourself to get a challenging experience on a lower difficulty level without pre-buffs?
