I made something similar with black, copper and green dragon bloodlines, and with an oread. They all gives you bonus to acid. There is a bit less item to boost it though...

I know this is an old comment, but you can no longer double dip dragon bloodlines just in case anyone reading this now tries this (it's me, I tried it)

Kingmaker has better mods on Nexus. Compared to moded kingmaker wotr has less options.

Spend entire days in character creation: The Game.

So anyway, I started blasting.

Enchantment, Divination and Necromancy. The 1st 2 are so auto-pick you don't even get this option as a Thassalonian. The 3rd does get great late game spells. But you're not going to miss them for what you get. Now, this isn't Exploiter Wizard levels of broken. But if you want the best base for your Arcane Trickster, here you go.

I see no need for this class when Ember is already a Fire Bender and so much more.

If you want to just blast - just make a sorcerer. You can stack two Dragon bloodlines with Elemental bloodline through crossblooded + mythic feat, and outdamage wizard all the time, every time

@@Kammereer No you can't. Because AT synergizies much, much better with wizard. And as a Sorcerer who multiclasses into it you're sacrificing even more spell levels to a wizard. And AT will outdamage any other blaster.

I'm a console player so I'm looking forward to playing the game soon and Cavalier of the Paw always appealed to me as a first character. The idea of a highly mobile mounted dodge-tank just sounds too much fun

also playing an Angel Demonslayer is just realy cool.

Give her the Triceratops Statuette, and problem solved. That item can summon you a Triceratops companion, if you doesn't have any - and it's level always the same as it's summoner's. Except it's a pre-built pet, so you cannot control it's level up improvements...

dont be abstruce, 8% are cultists 2% are ghouls.

Agreed. Wendaug is fantastic, but i was really surprised the most unique character outside of Arueshalae was classed as a basic fighter

Because that would require her to be more brainy, less brawny. Her personality would get damaged from that decision... Also, you might be able to get good alchemical ingridients in the caves, but the same not true for the required equipment.

I dunno ... the underground where she's at doesn't look like it has much science going on. They can barely get a full stomach down there. An education and alchemical lab sounds too out of place for me. She is the way she is because of demon filth, not because of alchemy. There's more than one way to become a freak. I'm struggling to see it as a "missed opportunity" in this particular case.

She was supposed to be a ranger. My Theory is that when they decided to make Arueshale a Ranger instead of Master Spy (she is just a redeemed succubus stat block with Master Spy and some mythic levels on top in the AP), they ended up just making Wenduag a Fighter

​@@luisgustamy biggest question is, why isnt she a hunter? They added the Hunter class, made a companion who is well regarded as the strongest hunter of her tribe, and her class is not a hunter?

Is sorcerer a beginner friendly class in WotR? I’m interested in playing a spontaneous caster but I’m unsure which archetype to pick. Some context, I’ve played Baldur’s Gate and Pillars of Eternity, but both games as a Paladin. I wanted to try something different and make a gish character this time around

@@TheElduin It is beginner friendly. My first character in Kingmaker was a Sorcerer and I had never played a Crpg ever before. It's super easy to pick up and veeery fun cause you get so many cool spells to pick from.

@@TheElduin Arguably more beginner friendly than the wizard, as you just pick what spells you know on level up and can then cast them as you wish. Since the wizard needs to say "1 casting of mage armor, two magic missiles, and one grease" every morning, you can't just spontaneously spend all your resources on grease if the need comes up. The sorc also gets more spells per day at the cost of 1 level slower spell progression.

@@TheElduin you do need to know a bit of what spells are good and what to avoid as a sorcerer, since unlike a wizard you can only ever get the spells you get to select on level up. But as long as you don't end up picking a spellbook full of poor spells, the rest of the package is probably more beginner friendly and less to manage than wizards once you get blasting. Though if you want a gish, one of the magus subclasses would basically give you that right out of the gate. Eldritch Scion would also be a spontaneous caster

@@TheElduin most beginner friendly caster in the game by far!

There is a mod in Kingmaker and Wotr that put every weapon in a type group. Meaning if you take weapon focus on Elven Curved Blade (as excample) it instead let you pick the type group that in this excample would be Heavy Blades. Meaning you are specialised in all weapons for that type. Longsword, Two Handed Weapon, Scimitar, etc. It's called Weapon Focus Plus. Available on Nexus.

Magus is such a good class, as Aeon notes there was a mod for kingmaker which I used allowing you to focus on things like elven curved blades(best weapon look I think). Something about cutting through the fabric of reality with a sword saint is really cool. ‘Nice AC you got there, shame if my weapon ignored it!’

I played Sword Saint in Kingmaker. It was a lot of fun, but yes, seeing all the cool weapons I couldn´t use hurt.

Kingmaker seemed to like bunching all of the gear for certain classes at different parts of the game. There was a ton of great magus scimitars, but almost all of them were in Pitax. I played a Wizard, and I only found robes and staffs that I could use in Vordekai's tomb, and then it gave me 3 sets of robes and 4 staffs. Hoping WoTR doesn't do this too once it comes out on consoles.

The thing to remember is your weapon choice can be whatever you like. Finnean can cover a bad loot choice. And by Act IV, you'll be able to buy a version sufficient for end game. And enhancement bonus is a secondary concern. Because your pool can provide it.

When playing legend I prefer two classes with sneak attack progression. 20d8 on +40 BAB is insane.

@@aaronnunavabizniz199 BAB or AB? In case it is BAB. How?

Elemental engine is a trap. The strongest infusions (eruption, wall, cloud and deadly earth) are not attacks. So these bonus are wasted, and to make things worse, the DC is 10 + 1/2kin level + dex/con bonus and this class loses physical attribute bonus from elemental overflow.

That sounds great. Is it better than Blood and Psychokineticist?

Blood kineticist still broken?

Maybe, nothing in the immediate future though

They're patching this so they don't stack

Really not worth imho. Level 20 ability is too powerfull to loose(for a class that specializes in crits). Plus you get slower main class progression that cuts your damage progression(and slower ac scale from canny defense early). Plus your selfbuffs will have lower duration. Considering you can tank playfull darkness(with ice body scroll) without monk splash and defensive stance on hard its simply unneeded on anything lower than unfair(and on unfair its simply better to summon swarm him).

Did this guy really just mansplain a monk dip hahha.

@@scalpingsnake shut it wench. Season 2 of she hulk is that way.

a couple probably

Try cruromancer it goes well with lich

@@MortismalGaming Oh I missed this! I think you're the only youtuber that responds to questions semi consistently! Ty for the advice, I was actually thinking of going cruromancer

BFT makes a good lich, mutation goes well with trickster/demon/angel, sword saint would be fine with just about anything but trickster for max dmg, elemental specialist makes a great lich, and divine hound goes well with Azata or Angel

May I recommend for you my MUSCLE WIZARD build? You start an Orc as a Hagbound Witch, and give him 20 strength at start. Hagbound starts with permanent claws and you can get a bite attack from a feat as an orc, so you start the game with 3 attacks at +5, then you are gonna want a dip in a spontaneous caster class (I went with Steelheart Bloodrager, cuz it gets you free heavy armor feat) so that once you have the stats you can grab 4 levels of dragon disciple. Rest of the levels you just keep going Hagbound. Oh and make sure you take the demon option for your first mythic, that gets you a gore attack. What all this means is you have 5 natural attacks (2 claws, the orc bite, the dragon bite, and the gore...you might be able to go for 6 if your dip was a sorceror and you spent a mythic to get serpentine and took the mythic that gets you the level 20 perk of that? Though at that point you're burning two mythic abilities for a extra attack.) and a MASSIVE strength bonus. Every like, 3 levels of Hagbound gives +2 strength, the four levels of DD gives +4, and eventually you can get spells like Transformation. Plus you can throw on the mythic that gives natural attacks (i.e. all of your attacks) DR ignoring as well as the one that lets you always do your strength bonus in damage. You can easily get to a point of doing AT MINIMUM 50 damage per round. It would probably sync up best with the Demon mythic, but I went Azata with him and HOLY SHIT is it broken when you take the Superhuman Endurance or whatever power. You turn into a ridiculous, regenerating punch wizard, and it is GLORIOUS.

I forgot that it also gets pretty radical Natural Armor buffs, you take a lizard familiar and the icebrand hex thing and that gives you +3, that ring at the starting tavern can boost that further, then you add on the DD natural armor and you can become VERY hard to kill.

I believe the difference is that BFT gets a colossal bonus to enhancing Transmutation spells on top of being able to share personals party wide. So you can turn everyone into an exceptionally powerful team member. Which is typically why it gets relegated to a support mercenary.

Transmutation buffs get more powerful when a BFT casts them, and they can cast powerful buffs that are normally only castable on yourself on the entire party

Because brownfur is better than the thing you suggested. Lol

With the game still getting more content, hard to say currently

Curious on your builds for this. I will be starting wotr once the console edition comes out this week. I'm leaning full oracle angel build and a monk might make a good teammate.

@@kvothefan5106 Main Character- Crowd Control Arcanist/Arcane Trickster, Monster Tactician Inquistior, Hunter 3/Cavalier, Sensei Monk, Ember going hard into evocation, Lann as Zen Archer 3/Freebooter Ranger. The concept behind my build was to capitalize on how things scale based on the number of characters. In the tabletop teamwork feats were in theory really strong, but no one ever took them in my experience because you had to convince your friend to take them unless you were an inquisitor and could use them by yourself. The summoner was really strong because they could use summon monster as a spell like ability and the summons could act on the same turn. The monster tactician just gets the spell like ability of the summoner and grants their teamwork feats to their summons which is really strong when it comes to outflank and seize the moment. The more attacks that happen the more chance someone will crit and the more attacks of opportunity come as a result. Throw in the destruction domain 8th level power and you auto confirm crits. There are also a lot of good summoning items in the game, the brazen whip gives all summons an extra attack but slows the wearer, but that can be counteracted with the freedom of movement boots, there is a spear that gives all summons sonic damage, a glaive that summons a demon when you kill someone which for some reason eventually started summoning the big demons with a bunch of arms and scimitars, ring that summons minotaurs, usable items that summon level draining demons, another that summons some really strong angels. In the prebuff phase getting all the summons out then casting haste on the whole party from my arcane caster makes things a little nutty. Summons are also really useful for 2 big things, being meat shields and casting spells. At higher levels the spells the get cast by them are really great and synergize with my arcanist ill talk about later. The Hunter/Cavalier works on the same concept, since while mounted you are always adjacent most teamwork feats work. So 3 levels of hunter grant your teamwork feats to your mount. So 3 levels isn't that big of a dip, but cavaliers get teamwork feats on while leveling so you never need your mount to take them. Pair that with a scimitar and go hard into crit. Also makes the summons get attacks of opportunity as I said before. Lann went freebooter ranger for freebooters bane and freebooters bond to buff all allies attack and damage rolls. Sensei monk for the Bardic songs and Mass True Strike. Which i'm not sure there is a way to get as a spellcaster unless widen spell works but i'm not sure. In addition to the combat stance mytic power (cant remember the name) but their job is just to stand there and buff everyone. Ember is there for fortune and protective luck spam during prebuff for boss fights, other than that uses the lighting gauntlets from blackwater to get all damage to be lightning then use Ascendant Element and nuke with her. Then there is my main character that I built to support the group through crowd control and the trickster mythic stuff. I went with Eldrich font Arcanist that specialized into conjuration early for stuff like selective webs/grease/pits, used the mythic thing that lets you use all your feats that apply to one school to another and went enchantment because they kind of cover each other. Most enemies that immune to mind effecting stuff probably can fall in a pit or get knocked prone and vise versa. Mind Fog is a ridiculous debuff spell that i always heighten to my highest spell slot because it lowers the enemies will saves against mind affecting effects by 10, that and best jokes and hideous laughter can disable an entire encounter to get swept by your damage dealers. Mind fog works amazingly with high level summons like the Bogeyman spamming their mind effecting spells. Hold monster/constricting coils synergizes well as well and if they have a pit next to them they fall in and then have to make 2 checks to do anything. I'm an arcane trickster just because I was already getting sneak attack from trickster so might as well get more since arcanist wouldn't give me a whole lot more until much later. If you use hold monster on an enemy and they fall in a hungry pit they take sneak attack damage each round when you get to level 10 arcane trickster, which is hilarious. Eventually I once again use the mytic ability to make all my illusion spells use my conjuration feats. The combo I have been doing lately impromptu sneak attack, then use Weird on enemies in mind fog, if they make their save and don't instantly die they take half damage plus sneak attack from the phantasmal killer. Trickster mythic stuff is great for getting more bonuses on items from the arcane lore stuff, but level 2 lore world makes all 1s that are rolled into 20s making more crits happen, but also making auto fails into auto hits is super useful in harder fights, especially because I roll a disproportionate amount of 1s for some reason. I know that was long and I'm sure I still missed some thing, but you get the idea.

@@noonesfang131 wow, thanks for so much detail. These look like fun mercenaries. I think this might still work with my oracle build, going nature's mystery to get animal companion to add to the meat shield. Thanks again.

@@kvothefan5106 Oh yeah I definitely went overboard on the theme of more characters is more good lol. That being said I'm going to find it hard to have a playthrough without a summoning character and sensei as its just so strong.

Angel and lich can merge spellbooks and make lvl 9 spells usable from both. Also, trickster can get wizards spellbook for a single feat, so if you go full divine caster and pick use Magic Device 3, you`ll essentially became a theurge with all spells in the game at your disposal. The question is - do you really need that many spells? What are you going to do with them? Isn`t it easier to ocassionally use a scroll if you want a spell from unavailable school? You`ll be perfect buff-bot, sure, but if you want to kill things with magic, you`ll just use that one favourite spell over and over.

@@ragvald8835 imagine you could merge lich and angel... angel of death
