KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

[rojay]

i don't know if it's just me but investing in grapple makes things too easy sometimes, grapple if OP af, not using it anymore.

you will.

which party you are running you are probably the first person I have seen that finds kotc2 archmage too easy for the first playthrough

Dude starts off by talking about how brutal the fights are, then says it's too easy. He's still in the sewers. I mean, clearly he's just a superior player. I sure can't give him any advice because I found the game pretty difficult even after Pierre nerfed it.

 

[barricade]

Dude starts off by talking about how brutal the FIGHTS are

no. i said the sea hags fight was brutal.

then says it's too easy

no. i said using grapple in some situations makes things too easy.

clearly he's just a superior player.

you're taking all of this too seriously, it's just a video game, chill.


how come people on the codex are so easily triggered? this is worse than reddit lol

I don't use grapple, it's one of the gayest feature ever implemented on a cRPG.
"Oh, a high level mage, he wears robes, it really suits him... Let's grope grapple him a bit so he can't cast any spell!"

Anyway, the game is perfectly playable on Archmage without any grapple, maybe not on your first playthrough (probably used it on the spider queen once).

 

[jungl]

the game needs the op stuff for those without min maxed parties. Also powerful items are immersive and don't detract from the game like frodo getting the sword from his uncle turning from scrub into stud.

Sting had the Magical Beast (spiders) bane enchantment.

You're not triggering anybody, you're just saying inconsistent things and when you do that here, you're going to get called on it. Some people will do it politely; others will roast you. I'm just going to ignore you.

 

[barricade]

you're just saying inconsistent things and when you do that here, you're going to get called on it.

inconsistent? such as this?

Dude starts off by talking about how brutal the FIGHTS are [...] then says it's too easy

no. i said the sea hags fight was brutal. which is one fight.
no. i said using grapple in some situations makes things too easy.

Big update: https://www.kickstarter.com/project...-revolutionise-old-school-crpgs/posts/3617662

Update #63: KotC 2 Version 1.47 Adds Many New Feats + New Dungeon Image!​

Hello everyone! The latest version of KotC 2 is version 1.47. It can be downloaded here for both Windows and macOS. It can also be downloaded on Steam and GOG.

In the past month, I've been focusing on the implementation of new character feats: epic feats and standard feats. I've added 18 epic feats for characters that have reached level 20 and above, as well as 42 standard feats. I've also fixed a number of bugs and issues in the game.

Recently, I spent time learning how to add graphics from AI-based image generation website www.dezgo.com into Campaign Cartographer 3+. See the previous Kickstarter update to learn more about Dezgo. Afterwards, I was able to make a nice isometric dungeon map using the new assets. Here's a sample picture of the new dungeon map. I'll post more pictures in the next Kickstarter updates.

New isometric dungeon map for KotC 2
See below for some images created using Dezgo. While I had to rework the Red Dragon and the Golden Idol in Photoshop, the other images are pretty much unchanged.

Sadly, it is again a difficult time for me as my brother is again giving me a hard time and driving me crazy. I'm hoping that the family home inheritance matter will finally be sorted out by a judge in six to nine months. Once that is done, I should have a lot more freedom to invest funds into the improvement of the game and upcoming modules. That will also give me a lot more peace of mind. I'm really looking forward to that. Until then, I'll just have to cope as best I can.

Characters and Monsters
Now, let's review the feats that were implemented into KotC 2 in September 2022. I have just updated the webpages for the various character classes and general feats, so you can also read the feat descriptions on the website now.

List Of Additional Standard Feats​

• [Champion] Divine Fortune: You can cast the spell Good Fortune as a level-7 spell.
• [Champion] Improved Armour Of Bravery: When you're wearing armour enchanted with Bravery or Greater Bravery, the radius of the effect increases from 10' to 15'. Requires: Level 9.
• [Wizard] Improved Firefly Familiar: Your Chromatic Orb spells are empowered for free and the difficulty class increases by one point. Requires: You must have a Firefly familiar.
• [Cleric] Widened Healing: The radius of all your Mass Cure and Mass Heal spells increases from 10' to 15'. In addition, if you have the Rejuvenation Domain Power, the radius of the Rejuvenation effect increases from 15' to 20'.
• [Cleric] Widened Destruction: The radius of all your Mass Inflict and Mass Harm spells increases from 10' to 15'.
• [Bishop] Widened Healing And Destruction: The radius of all your Mass Cure and Mass Inflict spells increases from 10' to 15'. In addition, if you have the Rejuvenation Domain Power, the radius of the Rejuvenation effect increases from 15' to 20'.
• [Bishop] Turning Strike: Your attacks against Undead creatures benefit from a +1 increase in Attack Rolls and +2 increase in Damage Rolls. If you have the feat Improved Turning, your attacks against Elementals and Outsiders also receive these increases. If you have the feat Greater Turning, your attacks against Aberrations, Dragons and Constructs also receive these increases.

• [Cleric / Bishop] Improved Curse: Targets affected by your Bestow Curse and Mass Bestow Curse spells are also Dazed for one round, if they are not immune to mind-affecting effects and compulsion effects. The difficulty class of both spells also increases by one point. This feat will reduce the randomness of the effect of the spells Bestow Curse and Mass Bestow Curse, at least during the first round of the effect.
• [Wizard / Sorcerer / Warlock] Dispelling Magic Missile: Each missile from your spell Magic Missile has a 50% chance to destroy a single illusory duplicate created by the spell Mirror Image.

Please note: your Bard must have equipped a musical instrument in the Arms body slot for this feat to work.
• [All] Rapid Strike: When holding a single manufactured melee weapon, you benefit from one additional melee attack with that weapon at full Base Attack Bonus.

I've given Rapid Strike to many monsters in Augury of Chaos and the Tutorial Adventure.
• [All] Melee Touch Magic: When you cast spells requiring a melee Touch Attack, you do not trigger attacks of opportunity and do not need to cast defensively. This feat only works when targeting enemies. If you are a Champion, Mage Knight or Storm Warrior with the feat Perfect Combat Casting, you receive a +2 bonus on all melee touch attack rolls.

Requires: Superior Concentration, Improved Touch Attacks, and you must be a spellcaster or psionics user.

Next Steps for Knights of the Chalice 2​

For the most part, the next development steps remain unchanged from the previous update:

• Reply to posts on the Steam Forum, GOG Forum and the website Forums, and fix any remaining bugs and issues in the game mentioned by the players on the forums or by email.
• Work on the Kickstarter Social Goal promises. They include: custom spell effect sounds, the new Druid spells Vampiric Spores, Creeping Doom and Iron Grip, a new option to display spell icons during level-up, a new option to display the monster injury status rather than Hit Points, and a new option to distribute only 80% of Combat Experience Point awards.

• Hire a graphic designer to create new sprites, new maps and other types of artwork.

As always, if you find bugs or if you have any feedback, thoughts and suggestions, please feel free to let me know here, or in the Forums, or by email at enquiries@heroicfantasygames.com.

What's up with the "brother" issues he mentions...?

What's up with the "brother" issues he mentions...?

No clue. First time he's mentioned it. He most certainly never mentioned it in passing during email exchanges.

What's up with the "brother" issues he mentions...?

No clue. First time he's mentioned it. He most certainly never mentioned it in passing during email exchanges.

He mentioned it to me a couple of times, it's an unresolved issue dragging for quite some time, apparently.
It didn't stop him from updating the game, the crucial info is he'll be able to invest some money when the issue is resolved.

 

[Tacgnol]

I'm guessing it's some dispute over a will? Those are often messy and take a while to resolve.

 

[Darth Canoli]

It has been going on for a year or two, at least, as far as I know so his estimate in the resolution (6 to 9 month) is probably accurate.

 

[Pink Eye]

Does anyone remember the answer to this riddle? I'm hard stuck at it. I think it's the last one I need to solve before getting the final keymaster's key. Also need to email Pierre that you can't get hints at this Riddle Master's riddles. Even though you can get help for the others.

Thank you very much! Question though. What's the logic behind it? I always go to straight to trying to combine ORMER WEATH since they're the middle worlds. Since he says you find illumination by joining the "middles".

Question though. What's the logic behind it?

Middle letter in each word.

 

[Pink Eye]

No way. Holy fuck. I feel so stupid, lmao. And it does actually spell the whole word if you follow the middle letters from left to right.

Hello everyone! This is a much-needed bug-fixing update for KotC 2, because the recent updates introduced a number of bugs in the game. My sincere apologies for that!

Special Thanks to Angry Lux and Atoch for all the very helpful bug reports!

If you find any bugs, please drop me a line at enquiries@heroicfantasygames.com so that I can fix the game quickly. A saved game would be very useful, too. Thank you!!

Here is the link of the latest Kickstarter update for those who may have missed it: https://www.kickstarter.com/project...-revolutionise-old-school-crpgs/posts/3617662

List of changes in Knights of the Chalice 2 Version 1.48
The list of party members in the top-right corner of the screen will now adjust the font size of the character names when they don't fit in the box space using the initial font size.

Added some code to accelerate gameplay in combat.

Fixed a bug with auto-cast spells and psionic powers incorrectly getting activated when loading a game.

Fixed a source of crashes that would occur after changing the name of a party member

Fixed a source of crashes when using Dispel Magic (Single Effect) or Greater Dispel Magic (Single Effect).

Fixed a source of crashes when certain casters are running out of spells.

Fixed a source of crashes when summoning creatures like the Tentacled Horror. That was due to the game sometimes creating new items (like a new magic scroll) to give to the newly-created creatures, and some code was missing to handle the effect of that change on the memory.

Fixed a bug with summoned creatures and the Creature Wizard which was due to the mislabelling of 'Major Fire Ring'(and other energy-protection rings) as 'Medium Fire Ring' in the code.

Fixed a bug with the game not allowing the player to manifest certain psionic powers (such as Energy Absorption) using the base Power Point expense.

Fixed a bug with the game not allowing a Monk to perform his or her additional Flurry attacks after defeating one or two enemies.

Fixed the token of the Fire Elemental summoned by the spell Summon Gargantuan Elemental (Fire).

Fixed a display issue with the spells Babau Slime and Barkskin when cast by enemies.

The Psychic Warrior feat Superior Psychometabolism will now improve the power Evade Burst from Move Action to Free Action.

In the Effects & Conditions tab of the Character Sheet, improved the display of 'Oversized Weapon Penalties'.

The game will no longer offer the 'Rapid Shot' option when your character is Slowed or acting during a Surprise Round.

Corrected the help entry for the feat Greater Control and Dominate (added the missing feat prerequisite).

Added a link to the feat Improved Firefly Familiar near the description of the Firefly familiar.

Sleeping arrows will now make the target Prone (not just Sleeping) if the target isn't already Prone. Receiving a sleep effect from spells such as Sleep and Deep Slumber will apply the condition Prone only if you're not already prone.

Thank You For Your Steadfast Support, Legendary Defenders of the Realm! Enjoy!!

No! If you do this... Infinitron will lose his job!

I was just excited because I helped report some bugs.

 

[ItsChon]

Is it worth brute forcing the game on Archmage? I'm already getting a taste of what the game will be like during the Necromancer fight in the tutorial where I have to instantly reload if the Necromancer manages to hit anything less than shit on his first spell cast.

You don't have to, if you enjoy the game on super easy mode, go for it.

But you'll never level-up in the Codex eyes if you don't tackle and beat Archmage, you'll be forever a Rustyling...

 

[Desiderius]

The medium difficulty is a good challenge once you’re familiar with the systems. Archmage if you use your consumables. First run on Easy is handy to get a feel for all the different feats. But difficulty can be adjusted at any time (I think) if what you’re on gets too boring.

Haven’t done full AM yet (and probably won’t on this module) but my guess is that you’d need to stay underleveled to raise cash for lvling which would generate a lot more overall EXP so it may not end up that much harder than medium difficulty.
