    As someone with 0 experience, when it comes to crpg's, these guides are very helpful for getting my mind around how everything works. Thank you for this!

    Note on the display: the 4 "fists" that display the BAB are not showing the BAB at different levels, as you implied. Instead they show the BAB on your first, second, third and fourth attack.

    Thank you for this wonderful video introduction to Pathfinder. You're very thorough, and I don't think you assumed any prior knowledge of D&D or Pathfinder, the way most of us (perhaps unconsciously) do. This is a really nice approach for people seeking their first understanding of a wonderful gaming system. Even with my years of experience in D&D and Pathfinder, I found this helpful. I had never analyzed and compared the base attack bonus and saves progressions, between the classes. I only knew how they compared, generally.

    Resisting being knocked down is usually CMD. Wolves for example get a free trip attack if their bite hits, making a CMB check vs CMD and knocking down if it succeeds. Also hit die and BAB progression are connected. Good BAB is d10, medium is d8, poor is d6. The exception is d12 hit die (barbarian and stalwart defender good BAB, dragon disciple medium). Finally in regard to looking up class features, it's worth pointing out that barbarian, monk and rogue use the rules from the Pathfinder Unchained rulebook, rather than the core book. These generally make them considerably better.

    It should be noted that when you multiclass, BAB will stack between classes but BAB progression does not. For example, if you take 1 level of Rogue and 1 level of Cleric, you won't get 1 BAB, you'll get 0 BAB. 2 levels of Rogue and 2 levels of Cleric gives 2 BAB instead of 3 BAB. BAB only progresses for each specific class. So if you want to multiclass, and you take classes with 3/4 or 1/2 BAB progression, you don't want to have an odd number of classes or you'll lose out on BAB progression.

    Hey, you haven't uploaded much EU4 in a while now. Just a question: Will you be returning to it? There is a Polish patch releasing today, with some new provinces and whatnot

  • @darkfireslide

    5 жыл бұрын

    I suppose that's the question everyone's asking, isn't it? EU4 is one of my favorite games of all time and that much hasn't changed. That being said, running the channel around it eventually got to a point that felt very constricting and stifling to my creativity, where I felt like I couldn't move on or make other content and still have people watch it. I was so concerned with views that it just entirely stopped being enjoyable making content for the game. I burned out and had to step back from the channel for a moment. I haven't given up on EU4 but there's a lot of new mechanics that have been added since I last played that makes me wary on coming back in full, especially because I am very far behind on owning all the DLC at this point. I'm sorry if that's hard to hear but it's the honest truth. Strategy game content is definitely still planned so if other games of the genre interest you there may still be content for you here.

    Without the Two Weapon Fighting feat you take big penalties when dual wielding even light weapons. With the feat, if your off hand is a light weapon, both attacks are made at -2/-2 of your base attack bonus and regular attack modifiers

    if my own math is right, an Average BAB character would get their 4th attack at max Level.... But like you said, at that point, the +1 is completely useless (you'd need to Crit Threat to land the 4th hit)

    house rules for hit die we do a minimum so a d10 minimum would be avg rounded up so 5.5 rounded to 6. do you have a d10 (min 6) + constitution modifier. d6 is 4, d8 is 5 d12 is 7 minimum. Does pathfinder really go full range? damn you could really get screwed by that with bad rolls.

  • @VividFlash

    At this point just use a d6 instead of a d12 if 7 is your floor anyway and just add 6 to it. Pathfinder kingmaker changed to just adding half of the hit die each level
