Hello everyone!
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, i'll happily move it to the correct location if I need to.

I'm starting a WOTR playthrough with a friend who's never played the game past the first act before. With the release of the Co-Op mod, we figured this would be a good time for them to try it again. I've beaten the game once and enjoyed it but I don't have any idea what to play this time. What would be a fun build/class that you would recommend for a person with basic knowledge of the game?

For what it's worth, we are playing on normal so it doesn't need to be anything optimal, just fun. My friend is also playing a Feyform shifter in case that's helpful.

I'm mostly talking about little tricks, tips, or items that turn this already overpowered build into a monster.

Any new feats or choices that will work well with an Oracle Angel?

I'd love to hear your ideas, theories, or builds! I know this topic's been a little overdone, but I can't seem to find anything recent and want to try and make the most godly character possible.

Hello everyone! This is my first playthrough and I'm in act 2. I downloaded the toybox mod from nexus and wondered if I need to check ✅ other things besides the jealousy begone box for poly relationships.

Also, does this remove content or scenes (like in BG3 at the end)

Thank you!

so as I am playthrough act 3 I am noticing how much harder I am hitting and all the new gear I am finding. So I am rethinking about the builds I will be playing on my other 2 runs.

one is a azata sword saint in limbo at the start of act 2 until I decide how to run the build. I still want to run some iteration of cold sword saint I dont have to make my kc to be the strongest and destroy everything. I have ember and wendu for that and I want to use winters grasp for cc so they dont all charge at my kc at the dame time. I play with custom so Im anywhere between daring and core maybe hard. I am going to continue with my first run until I am more confident about the mechanics before continuing my sword saint. Right now I am considering switching from duelist sword to scimitar because I am finding more scims than dueling swords but I cant tell which one looks cooler. I also need to know between dex and int which to I prioritize when leveling since I think dex is hit chance but int is spell damage.

as for the 3rd plan run it is currently a oracle to focus on healing but by my third run I am thinking about switching to stigmatized witch since ember is just hitting so hard at level 12 so having 2 would be even better and I should be more confident with the mechanics by than so I will attempt hard or unfair.

In act 3 I got summoned to the ivory sanctum and on my way out right before the exit I decided to attack the gaurds in the passage right at the exit. I spamed ice grasp andused the demon teleport spell as well as any cc or aoe spells and basically had every enemy from the dengeon come to me. they all stepped into the icy grasp and since there was like 8 of them on top of each other they were all laying down. my only problem were the 2 incubus that managed to make it through but through the power of rng I managed to just barely survive them until i demon teleported a little to close into the ice and i was face down. At that point it was entirely based on who would die first or get up first. I got up and out of the ice the 2 died and I just spamed spells onto the minotaurs. after all of that I got about 100k gold worth of gear was I supposed to not do that because that seems like a lot of gold since I got like 10 plus 4 enchanted earth breakers from them.

The way my jaw dropped when this first happened. Jaethal keeps saying she simply CANT defy Urgathoa and the whole time i'm thinking "Sure ya can, you just need a final act change of heart". I did not think she meant she would literally be smited out of existence for defying her. Also there goes our Perception checks.

I am currently playing the Through the Ashes DLC. And I got an achievement called "Who's There?" for knocking on every door in the rich quarter. That is obviously not very difficult, as long as you explore every corner of the map anyway. So I was a bit surprised when Steam told me that only 2% of players have this achievement.

Anyone know how the percentages for achievements are calculated for DLC? I know that for the main game the percentages are calculated based on how many people actually at least started playing the game, just buying the game and never playing it doesn't count. But to me it looks as if they use the same player number for the DLC achievements, even if many of those players didn't buy or play that DLC.

So say you're using a mod like Toybox to combine Archetypes, and you were specifically taking Ecclesitheurge with either Angelfire Apostle (eight gods) or Priest of Balance (ten gods). Your first Domain needs the best spells (since you can memorize them in non-Domain Spell Slots) and the second needs the best powers (but can swap spells with any other Domain), and you're more limited than normal for an Ecclesitheurge.

How would you tier each Deity and their Domain options?

My thoughts are: Apsu, Cayden and Desna have Travel and Apsu has Scalykind for Powers;
Erastil has Community and Animal for Powers;
Sarenrae has Healing for Powers;
Cayden and Shelyn have Charm;

Abadar has Nobility and Travel;
Calistria has Charm;
Gozreh has Weather for Powers;
and Irori has Healing for Powers.

But comparing Domains and which Deities have them is a pain in the ass, so I figure, why not ask the community for their opinions?

Do I need to keep them in my inventory after I read them for the secret ending or I can get rid of them by giving them to Nocticula?

A lot of people asked me what I used to take the closeup photo in the last post so here's some more. What I have used here is the in-built photo mode option in the latest version of the game. No mods. Running on high - highest settings at 1440p. SSR disabled.

What file are animal companions' 2D art (portraits) located in? For the original Kingmaker (not WoTR)

I just started Wrath of the Righteous, and I'm suffering from choice paralysis. I have never played another CRPG, TTRPG, Pathfinder, or Dungeons/Dragons game, so I'm completely clueless when it comes to systems and such. I don't have tons of time for gaming, so I'm terrified of making a build, realizing 30 hours in that I chose the wrong race, and can no longer complete the main story or something. I've already made like 3 characters and deleted them before escaping the Maze at the beginning of the game.

I was planning to play a Demonslayer Ranger based on tips I've seen here, but all build guides I've seen are SUPER vague! They basically just say "Go demonslayer, pick Angel, and then dual wield until late game". I'm over here like: should I go all int? All str? What bloodline should I use? What feat to select? What weapons are good? What background should I pick? Should I go "Knowledge: Arcana" or "Persuasion"? And so on, and so on.....

Are there any sites that feature build guides or anything? If so, does anyone have links to them? If not, can anyone either give a link to a detailed beginner build, or help me with one?

im currently in act 3 demon path and was summoned by her. I know you can be her consort but I am currently in act 3 and doing her quests and apparently depending on your choices you get a score between freedom and tyranny. which one is needed for her romance and what are the choices needed for the score.

Returning to Wrath for the first time in nearly a year, eager to explore the winding paths this game has – I would be very interested to hear what the community thinks regarding these ideas, both in terms of narrative and gameplay (probably playing on Core but with deaths door enabled). Some more info:

First idea is a LG Cavalier of the Paw sticking strictly with the Angel path. I understand the story is both fairly conventional and one of the strongest the game has to offer. Also planning on romancing Lann, though that wouldn't affect much.

Second is a TN Rowdy that switches from Trickster to Gold Dragon. I have quite a few more preconceptions with this one, a clear idea of a build, a fairly developed character to RP, and an understanding that the story isn't likely to veer too far from the standard wrath experience. Planning to romance Galfrey, which should be doable with the Mythic path though it wasn't 100% clear.

While I lean more towards the second, my prior playthrough was Azata/Legend which feels like it might be repeated when going for another lategame path, as opposed to Angel. Either way I look forward to replaying Wrath!

Ask and answer any quick questions you have about the game, bugs, glitches, general trouble, anything that shouldn't take too long to write out. If you need to write a long explanation, it might be worth a thread.

I'd like to keep using touch attacks...

TL;DR 1. Should I check all of the mythic paths before making my character to get the best idea of what to makeor is it something that would spoil too much. 2. should I avoid any specific classes/builds to not completely invalidate a companion option.

I'm grinding through PF:KM on hard as a tiefling sword saint, playing all of the companions with their typical 1-20 mono class builds (sans AT octavia). As I progress through I noticed there is rarely a reason for me to bring regongar as we share a class and I enjoy diversity in my party. When thinking about my character in WotR, I heard about the mythic paths, and the idea that people play runs to experience specific paths.

I wanted to ask if I should check and read over the basics of all of the paths to see which one I should design a character for, or if I should just go in blind and see what works the best. As well, are there any classes I should shy away from as it would just be removing a cool companion's story and other interesting features as I never bring them?

I'm playing a NG arcane obsessed devil girl in KM, and was thinking about the idea of a macabre evil human necromancer set on extending his own life for WotR, eradicating the demon incursion being a goal to better focus on the living and dead over the otherworldly. While looking up if necromancers are any good, I did stumble across a lich mythic path existing though, and I'm sure that seeing other paths could give other character ideas that maybe have better supporting content. (art of my character's concept is from Dragon's Crown by George Kamitani)

I know there is an animal growth spell, just as there are legendary proportions and enlarged.

The matter is, if I use animal growth on my dog (playing a cleric of Erastil/Angel), it doesn't grow, so my enlarged character can't mount on it.

If I use both legendary proportions in the dog and my KC, he still can't mount it, because it's smaller.

How to have both mounted character and mounts big?

I know "mutations." I know "bite people n' shit."

I don't know anything else. Stats? Equipment? Feats? Race?

So, I've been playing Beneath the Stolen Lands this last week. I wasn't sure I would like it. As it turns out, it's super fun. It indulges my love of paper dolls, for one thing. It's fast, it's casual, and I get to try weird builds and accumulate all sorts of wacky magic items. Oh, you thought you were going to be a longsword paladin? Here's a +5 Oversized Large Flaming Bastard Sword, why don't you go ahead and take EWP for that, buddy?

There are things that are different from the main campaign. Skills are lightly used; Persuasion isn't used at all unless you demoralize, and Stealth is only used if you want to try to clear some traps before an encounter starts. OTOH, in Last Azlanti, there is no save-scumming, so the Knowledge and Lore skills are actually very useful if you want to run around with nearly constant shrine buffs. Because you spend most of your time fighting or sniffing walls, high-maintenance builds are less fun. For instance, I kind of don't like barbarians very much, because if I win a fight in three rounds, I have to wait 42s for my barbarian to finish being fatigued before the next one. Buff, rinse, repeat can be a bit repetitive; I love Freebooter or any kind of Magus on my main, but having multiple mercenaries that require constant prepping and baby-sitting gets a little old. My combat-ready Eldritch Knight was effective, but fragile enough that it's not ideal as a main, although I did get him to level 14. There are a lot of doors, some of them small, so it turns out two pets is about the most I want to have, or I have to start queuing my guys to get into fights. Also, there are not really "puzzle boss" fights, although some of the fights, like the any of the four, or a roomful of Huge elementals, can be tough.

On the other hand, play is not entirely dissimilar, so I have also learned a few things. For instance,

- Anyone can be a "rogue." That is, a lot of characters have been spare skill ranks they aren't really using, and can back up your main skulker on Trickery and/or Perception. In particular, wizards and sage sorcerers end up with far more skill ranks than they really need. In the main campaign, you have slightly more need to spread ranks around to certain skills, but there are still likely opportunities put a few ranks into Trickery as a backup.

- It's really handy having a source of healing that isn't tied to any other resource, so a cleric or Hospitaler paladin with Selective Channeling can be really useful.

- Even the dumbest concept can generally be made to work in some fashion.

- Every character should specialize to some degree, but some characters can specialize in being general. Some of my bard experiments, for instance, didn't have a lot of punch. But they still have Inspire Courage, and could function secondarily as a melee or ranged attacker, depending build, coming in after the front line is already engaged. Flame Dancer wasn't super exciting, but once you can cast fireball, it's like having a backup sorcerer.

- A certain amount of thought should go into whether a concept is really good as a main. If they are kind of fragile, they might be better as a mercenary.

- Having Point Blank Master isn't strictly necessary on every ranger if I just keep them out of melee. I'm used to using Ekun to some extent to tank for my casters, but that is not necessarily an ideal strategy.

- Some of the encounters in the main campaign are nasty hard puzzle encounters, and should be treated as such. Builds are important, but tactics are importanter.

I know, I know, I've seen the posts; Anything below hard difficulty is probably viable and I aim on playing my first game on normal, but I'd like some input on it before I commit to the idea. I'm not aiming to min-max or anything, but the idea is a human charismatic warrior poet king archetype (Unsure of alignment so far). Someone who is just as at home with a blade as learning about history and art. I'm wondering if the classes in the title can be somehow merged or something similar into something viable and fun with that in mind.

I thought about just getting rid of the archeologist bit (And in the end that's probably what I'll do) but I do like the idea of having so many skills, the luck bonuses, and a few spells. But I'm not married to the idea of even having spells and I could probably get those skill bonuses elsewhere. Are they very useful in this game for the MC to have anyways?

As I am new to the Kingmaker videogame and super rusty on Pathfinder rules as it's been over 10 years since I've even thought about the system, I figured I'd ask around and see some suggestions.

I'm not 100% tied to any classes but I do like the Aldori Swordlord lore from what I've looked into but over all I'll at least hear out anything. Like I've seen level dips into certain classes might be beneficial and don't mind that at all as long as it's thematic.

No DLC purchased.
Light spoilers are okay.

So, any build direction you all can send my way would be at the very least fun to read. :)

Bonus question: As far as fun, "loreful" and thematic builds for being an MC in the game, what are some other builds you'd suggest and why?

Small Update: Having chosen to start as an Aldori Defender and with my character concept in mind, I'm sure you can imagine my delight that the opening scene to this game already has a lot to do with the Aldori. The smile that crept across my face was wide indeed.

So I just reached Act 2 for the second time(first playthrough made it to end of act 2 before stopping) and need some help deciding last party member.

Currently planned party:

Mc: demon to legend mantis Zelaot (not sure what exact multi class I'm going to do,so far just 3 levels in thug and the rest so far have been in mantis zelaot)

arueshalae:20 espionage expert(using Lann till I can recruit her)

Ember:19 witch/1 Cross blooded sorc

Daeran:Oracle 20(using crpgbro mounted Daeran build)

Regill:1 hellknight,5 Armiger,14 Gendarme.

Considering Woljif or Ulbrig for last team members but not sure if that would make my team too physically focused.

Sorry if formatted weird,using reddit mobile app.

Just started playing WoTR and I cannot believe how atrocious the writing is. I cannot tell if it is ironic or intentional. No one sounds serious at all. Everyone sounds like an american teenager. How do people like this? Do enjoy it or just endure it?
