Miss you Bolshy you've changed the way I play these games!
THANK YOU for doing a comprehensive, level by level, guide. This game is very complex and it's hard to understand interactions without a deep knowledge of game mechanics and interactions. This kind of guide really helps and you put it together well. Thanks.
Thanks for the summary in the description, makes it much more helpful.
I just made my main character start a campaign with this build. He is fighting madly fast. 10/10.
Really wonderful guides. Very clear, very well described. Thank you.
Keep making videos, you'r the most understandable person making videos for this game yet, lol. Good build looking forward to more
I love this build. Thank you!
Going one handed allows you to use True Strike alongside your melee attack, which sometimes is very necessary to hit certain enemies in this game. You can even get the Magus Arcana that allows the usage of wands with Spell Combat and spend True Strike wand charges to get the same effect.
your channel is great man...keep it up
this is an excellent build, i swapped in Falch for GA, and blind critical in place of GW focus, couple different spell choices...but still very nice.
for melee, without blind fight, wild hunt is a lot more difficult. I always make sure to pick it up before entering the part of the game that requires you to fight a ton of them.
Nice build. Love those crits for dmg, how the hell were they SO HIGH? What is your "base" damage per attack?
More more more. I have used 4
3 of these builds so far. Love the tank and dragonknight.
How about a barbarian dw berserker or death/dark knight style
Very nice build but i generally go 6 DD - Sourcerer4 - Scaled Fist 1 - Fighter 1 (bastard sword with bonus feat cause the game has very good bastards) Rest EK. Gets more high level spells but your build is more optimised for high damage via critical spells from EK.
Hey, a bit of a necro. But I'm playing your build in Wrath of the Righteous and it's amazing. The damage output you give is massive. But I have to ask : if you had 20 more levels (level cap was raised to 40) what else would you do with it?
Lol alleria windrunner , I love her . Great first name. Have you considered or is it possible to make a bear druid tank build like in WoW ?
for the RDD wings you need 9 lvls of it? is it still viable with more lvls in rdd? I really want those wings haha
Has the crane wing and riposte bug has been fixed? If so, how would this build be updated?
great build, loving ! ;)
Hey, nice build, was looking for something like this. Loved your tank too :)
One thing to point out however is that finishing the trolls off is super easy. Pretty much every arcane caster has that spammable d3 acid cantrip that's more than capable of getting the job done once your melee line beats them down, and even lacking this, Coup de Gras gibs them due to the damage taken. No need to waste a spell slot on it.
Hey, I wanted to write all that ;-)
When you like the Spellcritical, you could actually go with Swordsaint -> Eldritch knight. Then you use a weapon that has a 15-20 Threat range (including feat and keen)
When using intimidating Presence, you don't need cha, because strength is used instead.
Afterwards you could finish the Build with, hmm ..., Kinetic Knight and go dual wielder
Or you add a few levels of Paladin or Inquisitor.
keen and improved critical doesn't stack
You probably don't play the game anymore but would you consider sharing your eldrich archer build from this video it must be really fun
What are the other two characters in your party other than jubilost. They look homemade as well. Do you have their builds?
Does crane ripostes attack of opportunity work if you are using a 2h build that can't proc crane wing?
does this build still work with the Enhanced Edition ?
Nice video, interesting build. Definitely took some ideas from InEffect.
The only problem with this hybrid style is the spells you cast has very low DC due to lack of highten and any feats/stats to increase DC of your spells.
So the best spells you choose to cast instantly are not DC-based spells, but rather ray spells (hit depends on Dex modifier and BAB), buffs, debuffs (that don't require DC check) and summoning spells (especially higher level summons).
Transmutation is definitely a pick there because it gives more BAB and natural armor.
I would squeeze in extend metamagic to increase buff durations, probably instead of corgunon smash (it's not needed since you get dreadful carnage, first kill you make shaken all enemies around) or combat expertise (1/1 AC to AB exchange is not worth a pick imo, compare it to crane style and crane wing).
So to summarize it's a good self-reliant battle sorc build that can buff most of important buffs on his own, still some buffs are missing (divine spells from cleric/inq).
Good call to start from eldritch scion (+AB from charisma arcana is very handy early game) even though you're 2-handed weapon fighter.
Just don't focus on doing DC spells because you simply can't reach high DC and you're chika bomb boni.
Can you show the build of your companions in this video?
Any reason to take INT 13 and WIS 11 instead of putting extra points in say CON, DEX? I didn't notice you grabbing any feat that has INT 13 as a prerequisite and 12 would give you the same amount of skill points per level, right?
Is this build still feasible? Just starting the game I’m not familiar with pathfinders systems.
Funny ive been using this build for awhile though before even seeing this as i love the flavor of dragon knight so wanted to see if anyone had made something else for kingmaker or wotr except i use bastard sword instead of a 2h
would be interesting if there was a build centered around King Arthur from the Arthurian Legends for Pathfinder Kingmaker
Thx great build, very helpful video, very enjoyable gameplay.
I went for a slightly modified version of your build:

What armor type do you use with this build and also can you do a video about your companion set up?
no armour with this build. monk dip for ch on ac.
Great video. I'm new to pathfinder, what program are you using?
This is from the game Pathfinder: Kingmaker by Owlcat Games. Now that it's gotten a lot of bug patches, it's an awesome game and pretty faithful to the PnP ruleset. Not 100%, but pretty good.
BolshyPlays - Do you think they'll add Bloodragers into the game? If they do, will you update this build for the Bloodrager?
Bloodragers are now in the Call of the Wild mod (which is updated to the latest turn-based addition patch).
I really hoped you were going to say "The scaled fist scales off of... fists."
What other characters would you take with you
I really want min maxed pure lightning, pure fire and pure cold builds for roleplay purposes.
I'd love to see you do a min maxed build where the characters use exclusively one element for all of combat and see can you make it viable (I would suspect fire to be the stongest/easiest)
I'm planning on releasing some more build videos for the sequel PF: Wrath of the Righteous. There are a few added abilities in that game that would allow you to make a caster specializing in one element very effective. Check it out if you have the chance!
@@bolshyplays1733 wiil do thanks :)
Doesn't the two-handed weapon focus interfere with Magus spell combat ability? I'm a beginner so maybe it isn't a big loss?
I did some research and the answer appears to be that it doesn't matter. Spell combat results in a loss of DPS at higher levels.
Good job!
I have a question : What's the maximum size of the party if I want my characters to reach level 20?
I believe if you go 4 people you will hit 20 right at the very end. A 3 person party will reach level 20 before the real endgame. Just make sure you have shared xp off.
theres also a mod called scaled exp i think which allows a full party to reach 20
@@Jamesanity1992 which would be the same as just editing the save file or modding your characters to 20 which is cheating and pointless
You can hit lvl 20 with the new dlcs, if you get nearly all high checks and do every quest there is. Then you can hit lvl 20 in act 7 with a 6 people party.
since crane wing and riposte shouldn't work with two-handed weapons I skip those and go for exotic weapon fauchard (because of the higher crit chance and there's just the perfect portrait in P:K) and blind fight
I haven't played in a while so I don't know if they ever fixed it, but the crane line of feats worked with any weapon combination in PF:KM even two-weapon fighting and sword and board.
Does the game automatically pause to let you know when you can cast a free spell off the critical? How do you know? I didn't see it.
No you have to pay attention to your damage text, there is a little buff icon but it's easy to miss. It requires a bit of micromanagement.
What Kind of equipment are you wearing?

concerning weapon focus I'd say stay with the scimitar. It really has high crit chances (18-20 from the beginning and I think 15-20 with improved crit). It's one-handed so you can use your touch spells and there are lots of great scimitars for Regongar (f.e. thundercrack +5 agile shock runic mageblade)
This can use for unfair?
Being able to break the 20 limit like this is why I got interested in this game
Lawl I'm a stats freak
I am trying to find a way to remake this in Wrath, but STR/INT base to run Lich mythic and have some extra spells
If you want to go str/int and lich you might consider going with a full caster and merging spell books. That power jump at mythic rank 3 makes the midgame a lot smoother. Also if you go lich/magus without merged spell book, you get arcane spell failure casting lich spells in armor. I hope that is fixed upon release but it is something to keep in mind.
@@bolshyplays1733 thx for the tip :) I was looking around and found something i could work with. Wiz/witch,fighter with lich at mythic path lvl 3 it should unlock Eldritch knight. If not then ill probaly just go deeper into caster ^^
crane wing (and crane riposte) does not work with 2 handed weapons, you need a free hand. The build is ibteresting though, some good ideas.
Also, shocking grasp is better but you won't have a lot of caster levels so man enemies with Magic Resist will not be affected, and your save DCs will be very low with 16 Charisma and only low level spells, i would suggest to concentrte on buffing spells, and if you want to use your damage spells maybe more conjuation types wich are not affected by MR.
Crane Wing DOES work with 2handed weapons. It's wrong, but it has been that way for a long time now.
@@22Uzbekistan Builds shouldn't require the use of an obvious bug to be functional.
@@VirtuesOfSin Agreed.
Jeeze I just got the game I have no idea how to build around a char like this lol or even basic build. Just thought it be cool to build a dragon type fighter because I like dragons but this build is advance enough to where I probably couldn't even use it effectively 🤣 thank you for the tutorial though
If you are looking for an easy to play build, the untouchable tank build is pretty hard to go wrong with. High AC, decent damage and you just Auto attack for the most part.
Is this for kingmaker or wrath?
@@bolshyplays1733 thank you very much for a reply on an old video. You lay it out very easily to copy. It's more so I don't have a good foundation to work on to build a party around this build or any real party build period lol I love the game and always wanted to get into DnD but I feel like I need a tutor by my side while play lol.
@@bolshyplays1733 Also I hope my fist comment didn't come off as rude or unappreciative about your video. It's just surprising on much there is to learn lol
@@specrtre Not at all man, don't sweat it 👍
I know its 2 years ago but may i know whats the best weapon for this build?
I didn't play all the dlc for kingmaker, but I'm the base game the best 2h weapon was a great axe. I went with that.
Replying to a two year old guide, thats a sub from me dude… 😀 👍
@@bolshyplays1733 thank you!
What type of armor does this char wear?
None. Monk level is for AC.
A Monk Robe based upon alignment.
Hey Bolshy, is it possible to “port” this build to WOTR?
Yea, actually the tempest build is very similar. If you go draconic instead of elemental, prioritize strength over dex/cha, and prioritize melee feats over spell feats, it is a very similar build.
Edit: And of course take 4 levels of dragon disciple.
most people will never reach level 20, that being said. Interesting build.
You seem to be winging alittle bit with this build you change your choice about three or four levels which makes the idea what your going for super confusing
Is dragon form a part of this build?
No this build is built to attack and cast spells in human form. I call it dragon knight because it uses a draconic bloodline.
Are you wearing armor?
so hes a buffing tanky 2h weapon wielding spellcaster? seems like its stretched very thin
The dragon disciple and eldritch knight prestige classes allow you to gain caster levels while picking up some great abilities for a melee build, namely +4 str, +3 AC, +3 BAB, and a bite attack from DD and full BAB progression, bonus combat feats, fighter levels, and instant spell cast on crits from EK. The only thing you really miss out on are magus arcana and spell recall. It might be a little bit of a slow starter, but it is quite an effective gish build.
Can regongar be built into this ?
The builds for Regongar from InEffect and Roahin (the two most popular PFK builders on GOG forums) are ES/DD, without the EK:- e.g. www.gog.com/forum/pathfinder_kingmaker/companion_builds/page1
@@gurugeorge thanks
Would this still be fine to run in wrath?
It would be ok, but there are definitely better builds that take advantage of class/mythic synergies. My tempest build is actually very similar to this if you take draconic bloodline and 4 levels of DD
@@bolshyplays1733 cheers, keen to have something fitting the theme for a gold dragon path. Might check out the tempest in that case
@@bolshyplays1733 so far i'm in act 3 playing this build, just took my 2nd level of eldritch Knight, I can confirm it is still playing very well. Azata mythic path for now and took the haste superpower for my first one.
Only thing I can think of to make it better is sunder
7:35 but if you have alchemist in your party then you can cast mirror image on your tank.
Not on the Alchemist's list.
Honestly, level cap is way too low in this game. If there were more levels, you could do this build and also reach dragon form 3 in dragon disciple and become a true dragonknight. Maybe Divinity Ego Draconis (AKA The Dragon Knight Saga) spoiled me, but to me a dragonknight that can’t turn into a dragon isn’t a dragonknight.
Thankfully, there’s a mod that lets you go to level 29 using vanilla progression with an option of going into the 60s via a more linear xp requirement progression.
Gear Gear, where is the gear layout you used for this build? Of all the builds you done, not seeing where you show the gear you used. Ugh.
Is the gurl in the portrait single tho? Asking for a frend.
Crane Wing feat doesnt work if you're using a great axe.
PnP it doesn't, in Kingmaker it does. The game can't track anything but main hand used/unused, so Crane Wing will work with 1H, 2H, and even sword and shield.
Yep it works with it this is almost like my main build
I’m so sick of builds with mods
