Hi y'all, let's assume I made a char build for Deadfire and not only wanted to share it's data and backstory, but also stuff like portrait, watercolor portrait and maybe even voice set (like the critical role stuff I assume?). A bit like Sidekick light. Would that be possible? With a mod? Or otherwise? I remember the days of Icewind Dale and such where you simply could export/share/import characters you made. While this is no official thing in Deadfire there might still be a way to share "custom" adventurers... I hope. This would make creating/posting/sharing char builds a more complete process/experience and also fun I guess.

Only if you start a fight with righteous people.

Jup. Still pretty cool if you combine it with stuff that does something per hit/crit - like Confounding Blind or Combusting Wounds.

Very nice. Thanks for taking the time to write this down.

One thing though: if PotD is too easy that's a strong hint that all other difficulties will be too easy as well.

I will only start posting builds after finishing Deadfire with them - and I can't properly start with the game until June. So don't be afraid.

Cool - I don't have the time to watch the complete streaming. I'm surprised he's that far already. After the char creation I had to stop because of dat demanding real life.

Where does this information come from? Latest stream?

Centers around the target. Range... I can't remember the exact number but I guess 1.25 meter base? Maybe 1.5. Yes, the Berserker will hit his team member with Carnage in that case. But it's pretty easy to remove the confusion: just give him either Resistance to Intellect afflictions or give him an Intellect inspiration.

Best thing: once you summoned 30 mini-skeletons you cast "Spark the Souls of the Righteous"...

I think it's game over. Never experienced it myself so I can't say, but from what Josh said it sounded pretty much like "game over".

Or a monk with enervating blows, or priest interdiction, some chiper powers... There are lots of comboes... Atm i'm fan of pure class barbarian, at lest until i havn't tried heart of fury and barbaric retaliation ( dump resolve was never so mandatory...) For Iscalio Rule of thumb: everything is addittive, ecept might and lashes. Semplified math for non experts: all additive or subtractive dmg are calculated--> the total gets multiplied by might --> this is your total dmg. Lashes are calculated than as a percentage of the total dmg MIG is multiplicative and a 25% malus is actually a 33% malus. So no, they don't cancel each other out but the malus has more impact. However, you can simply hit an enemy with the morning star + modal once and then switch if off for full damage. The debuff has a good duration.

Yes

Two Handed Style works with the staves and the lance. Any Weapon Focus works because summoned weapons are universal. Kalakoth's Minor Blights and Llengrath's Blunt Wisdom are implements, so Dangerous Implement works as well as Marksman and any Weapon Focus. Also Blast works with them. The weapon styles don't work with ranged weapons in PoE.

Yes, it's pretty nice as long as you don't use two daggers.

Pineapple pizza? What? Nooo - that's totally fine.

Totally solid.

Yes, I also thought that a Barbarian crit build with Morning Star + modal + Brute Force could be very nice. Maybe in combo with the weaking phrase of a Skald and Killers-Invocation? Or Devoted?

Still don't get the stuff with the white jacket... Anyways - lots of summons/pets is always good and you can't go wrong with that. Paladin/Beckoner is an exeptionally good combo in Deadfire and although stuff like Mith Fyr got nerfed in the final game version it's still good to use Zealous Focus + Mith Fyr + Shared Flames on your party and the summons. The other pally/chanter can use Exhalted Endurance + Ancient Memory to heal them all up all the time. Druid/Ranger is also solid, especially with Boar + Wounding Shots. Ghost Heart would not be my favorite pick though.

Heaven forbid that anyone actually *likes* the ship combat system, amirite It's cool with me if people like it. I didn't say that it should be removed from the game. I'm also not saying drivel like "They should have put the money elsewhere". I'm just happy that there's an option to bypass it - because I can't stand it. I also don't like fennel. Doesn't mean I want to forbid other people to like it. Actually I like fennel... I just couldn't come up with food that I don't like...

Paladin/Ranger is still good. Tons of low-cost Full Attacks. I recently tested ranger/rogue with focus on wounding DoTs and from lvl 6 to 9 it's very good. Use dual Battle Axes with modal, use Arterial Strike for cheap Full Attacks and DoT, use Deep Wounds and the foes will melt. Also that yopur pet always has Predetor's Sense is nice. I consoled Depp Wounds in in order to test.

Better than taking mental damage, right?

For the fan channel (where the devs also show up) you need no invitation. It's pretty easy to find. They also have an official Obsidian server.I don't know if Obsdian has an inhouse-only-channel or server. You won't be able to get in there anyway. The fan stuffis named "Pillars of Eternity Fan Chat". The official Obsidion one is called "Obsidian Entertainment" (who would have guessed ). I tried a bit but Discord is new to me and it was just too fast paced and chaotic for me. I like the sluggishness of forums.
