@@ArcaneAgent Something about your question over intimidate and persuasion. the 2 traits you selected do the same thing in the background. so you could just do fine only picking empathic diplomat.
Correct that Diplomacy *does not include* intimidation In the Pathfinder Tabletop rules there actually is no "Persuasion" skill. Owlcat Games kindly combined Diplomacy and Intimidate into one skill, for the purposes of skill point allocation: Persuasion. But the game still handles the two aspects of it separately (as you see on numerous occasions in-game), and Traits keep them separate. So a trait (or other effect) that affects Diplomacy does not affect (unless it's miscoded) intimidate checks. Similarly any trait or other effect that affects intimidate does not automatically affect diplomacy checks.

Could you edit your titles so they includes the info that you use the mod. Most of your build guides won't work unless you are willing to mod...and the mod you use gives so much extra stuff it feels like cheating. Since you have build guides that don't use mods, it would help a lot to find what people are looking for.
@@ArcaneAgent The solution would be to make two play lists modded and original. That way it won't hurt your search result, but you still make it easier to find what people want. I really like your content, but for the time being i want to play original and try mods later.
Monks have always been broken in d&d. Immune to everything and are unkillable plus insane amount of punches/kicks. In my group I was the only one who made one and that was way back in 2nd edition. After that the DM said no, no more monks :)
If you don't want combat expertise and don't want to cheese power attack with an item, just switch the intelligence to 12 and the strength to 13 at character creation. Hell, you could opt to have int at 10 or lower to get a 14 strength or Constitution for more melee damage or hp/fort saves respectively
This video was so unexpected in my feed that looking at the preview I almost thought it was Josh Sawyer himself reviewing PFKM system. I don't know why this specific relation popped up in my mind, it's wierd.
Sorry to bother you, but i have a question. I am trying to make this build or at least take part of it however, i have noticed that Wisdom in flash no longer has Intimidation chack or rather it is changed to persuasion icon is same. Will it still work? I mean Intimidation is under persuasion skill.
why not add a two lists under the video description of all your builds .. one of old vids without mods and one of new ones with mods ... I am interested in those with mods, but hard to separate the two when viewing thro playlist
You can also use both call of the wild and arcana mods together without much issues by using the ingame option added to arcana that disables conflicting stuff.
I have the Eldritch Arcana mod installed. However, I only have three things to pick under the Abilities Tab. I chose UA Strike, Crane Style, and skipped the Deity. How do you get all those other things to choose in the Abilities?
Great Build, as always. But you already know that haha. What about a build involving javelins or any other throwing weapons?? Or a legionnaire style build, opening combat with javelin then engaging hand to hand. Is that possible...viable??
Another amazing build! Thank you very much for Sharing! It's been a while since we talked. I don't know if you remember, I proposed a melee necromancer dhampir (if possible) though for that you would need Races Unleashed. Thank you again!!
Hello, greetings from Brazil! I love your videos and the way you create your builds, the way you think then, it´s amazing. I was wondering if you could give an advice.. I really like warriors with two swords, one sword in each hand, and I was wondering if the slayer (2 dueling swords?) would be the best option for that: He is full BAB after all, has sneak attack, Studied Target. What do you think? Thanks
Kinda new to following these builds - but how do you get those stats at level 1? I get all of them except WIS to only 18 and have 2 points left over - i can't get WIS to 20. What am i missing? (or do i get fewer points recruiting a unit rather than making it from the beginning)?
Hey man, I recently got into Kingmaker and I stumbled across your videos. Great builds! Just wanted to ask you - have you ever tried to create a build specifically around a unique weapon or certain armor loadout? I think there's a lot of potential to maximize the effectiveness of some middle game unique weapons that can carry you all the way to the end.
@@ArcaneAgent I've been experimenting with using the trident 'Horror's Teeth' on a fear based melee char, with pretty decent success so far. Also an acid build centered around 'Devourer of Metal' longbow. I'm not lab monster like you so I'm sure you can find a way to maximize the weapons or armor it it's full potential.
@@ArcaneAgent After your respec, just exit the game and log back in. The powers should be there. I just respec-ed Kalike to Sensei (her sister to Traditional Monk, P Style) at level 8. The two Ki Powers I took (Barkskin and Sudden Speed) work on my allies.
Druid and sensei both need deep commitment per class for their benefits to come out. So you'd be better going full monk or full druid. Unless you just wanted 1 monk level dip for wisdom to AC
@@ArcaneAgent Thanks for the answer. I'm going to make it level 2 sensei, for the wisdom-benefits and then I'll level further as a defender of the true world. It was about getting the feystalker-tree as well, in a wisdom-based build.
@@ArcaneAgent Something isn't letting me get past the deity selection (new version). Says its optional. I end up with no options and no way to proceed.
@@ArcaneAgent No, kind sir, I am a dumbass. I was attempting to respec Valerie but had Eldrich Arcana on. She is hard coded to be an atheist, so no drop down populates.

Eldritch arcana isnt working correctly right now with the latest version of Kingmaker. Its why I'm making builds without mods at the moment
Lovely stuff, as always! Have you ever considered making a build including the rune domain? Definitely seems like an interesting one to me.
Rune domain is one of the builds on planning

I love your videos and the way you create your builds, the way you think then, it´s amazing.

Brazil friend! I could try out a dual sword wielding slayer
Love the builds, but the overdependence on eldritch arcana mod makes it unfun for me.

Kinda new to following these builds - but how do you get those stats at level 1? I get all of them except WIS to only 18 and have 2 points left over - i can't get WIS to 20. What am i missing? (or do i get fewer points recruiting a unit rather than making it from the beginning)?

Ive thought about using the shortspear Mourning for a build
@@ArcaneAgent That's a good one too. And a blinder melee specialist using the 'Beacon' light axe.
The Mystic ability works for me at level 6. You simply need to click on the ability (say Barkskin) and target an ally.
