Politics 2017 part 4
This is good. The Democratic Party would never move beyond milquetoast liberalism and driving off anyone remotely class consiouss in the US still holding on will hopefully make a split happen. The issue is where those people go, a socdem party like the recent Green Party or a more radical organization. At this point I'm willing to bet on the former in the short-term, with a Trump victory in 2020 and maybe an economic downturn that wounds the right. "Yay! A bunch of people will suffer and die as a result of disastrous Republican policies, but there's a tiny chance that a major party will self-detonate and an even tinier chance that one of the offshoots will have policies I like, but hey, totes worth it bro, it isn't ****ing wishful thinking AT ALL" As opposed to disatrous Republican policies from 2 decades ago?

Just what IS a Chanter anyway?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to FlintlockJazz's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)They're bards that aren't called bards with mechanics to differentiate them and full casters. Like most classes in PoE, they seem not to follow any particular occupation but based on lore I'd say they could either be historians, performers, or some weird combination of both that fights random people or creatures.

I am very disappointed to hear the party will be reduced to five.
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Gregorovitch's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)They could always maks the "hotseat" irrelevant, like no special quest for Companions outside the vision quest. So you don't have to take Xoti along to purge the temple of Gaun or whatever. I personally don't really care about the party size, the problems I have with IE games and PoE have nothing to do with party size, nor does anything I like about them.

You simply can't win I guess. :/ It would appear so. Portland Anarchists fix the road This makes me laugh more than I should.
- Two Weapon Cipher or Wizard

Xoti respec?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to rjshae's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)IIRC with splot classes you get to pick which one, so Xoti can be a Priest and Eder can be a Rogue.

Two Weapon Cipher or Wizard
So I'm fixing to create my main for PoE2 and wanted to play through PoE with a new character. My plan for PoE2 is a Rogue/Cipher or Rogue/Wizard, but for PoE I'm going to roll either a Cipher or a Wizard. I want to know which of Cipher or Wizard would be best for a 2 weapon melee build on Hard+Expert for PoE, using the companions rather than Adventurer's Hall toons. Doesn't need to be optimized, just fun.

It's a step up from limp wristed liberals I guess.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Gregorovitch's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'll have to check but I believe that IR only put an armor penalty on stealth skills for above leather. But Imoen was wearing robes at that point anyways.

The drinking thread

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Gregorovitch's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)That rings a bell, although I couldn't give a source. I remember Josh mentioning it in the latest Twitch stream. https://www.reddit.com/r/projecteternity/comments/5ye510/pillars_of_eternity_ii_deadfire_qa_stream_5/ <- transcript - it's near the end (do a 'find' for 'Perception') So I'm guessing it'll be Perception to spot traps (and hidden objects) but still Mechanics to disarm. They also said that this time traps will be visible in-world before they're discovered by the characters (so the player can spot them and move around if they're careful, even if the characters don't have high perception). Not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand it'll be visually cool, but on the other it revolves around my own perception more than the characters'. In practice, I'll probably have a high PER character in the front-lines anyway so I guess it won't make a difference. I like it. One of my big problems with BGT(never played BG proper, always used the BGT mod) was that at 100+ detect traps or whatever it was called I would still trigger the damn things despite having waited for over 12 seconds right next to one.

Expansion Plans?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Applesauc3's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: General Discussion (No Spoilers!)I think I got lost and thought OP was talking about PoE2.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Applesauc3's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: General Discussion (No Spoilers!)There's a season pass upgrade so they're at the very least planning dlc.

Cipher multiclass and focus idea.
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Kadayko's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Decent idea however assuming Soul Whip increases damage (+20% iirc) it could be overpowered.

I am a sucker and I bought...
So how does 5e Sorcerer compare to Pathfinder in terms of relative power and versatility?

Things you want PoE 2 to specifically avoid if possible
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Katarack21's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)A THE endgame weapon for the PC. I don't mean end game weapons shouldn't exist, I mean there shouldn't be something like The Silver Sword of Gith that's clearly supposed to be the PC's best weapon.

Mages.
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to commissar7's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Really? That wasn't my experience; my rogue PC kicked butt. Maybe they've been "rebalanced" since then? Yes. Rangers can out DPS them with the benefit of range while Ciphers have several powers that give them the edge. That's not to say the PoE rogue is at the level of the BG Beastmaster or single class thief, but compared to other classes it definitely falls behind. Comparitively Chanters are bad because by the time they can pull out an invocation the fight is mostly over, unless it's a boss or PotD. If you talking about damage then chanters are one of the best in the game. Not sure what you are trying to compare here. Check out Boeroer's Drake's Ambassador I clearly expressed the issue with Chanters is that most fights(outside of PotD) are over before they can use their invocations, which means that for most fights they're a basic attack who provides decent buffs to the party. Not bad in itself, but compared to what other classes bring it's hard to justify a Chanter over pretty much anything else outside of bosses or when playing on PotD.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to commissar7's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Wizards are arguably the most versatile of all the casters in PoE, they may be limited to preparing a few spells but they get access to a lot of useful stuff. I'm not quite sure what else you want, besides maybe more out of combat spells/abilities. And Rogues were the worst class in the game besides maybe Chanter, completely outshined by Ciphers and Rangers for damage while being comparatively more vulnerable.

Torment: Tides of Numenera Released
So I haven't touched this due to a busy schedule, should I jump in or wait until major bugs are patched or a mod that fixes everything is released? Apparently they didn't do half that stuff.
