Human melee build who combines power attack, sneak attack, and critical hits to inflict high damage. Effective and thoroughly tested in a normal difficulty campaign.

Sasaki Kojirō and Sephiroth fans rejoice: the elven curve blade is Kingmaker’s equivalent of a nodachi. Powerful versions are readily acquirable throughout the campaign, with bane of the living as the ultimate option if you can defeat an astradaemon. While categorized as Finesse Wielding, elven curve blades are also two-handed weapons and can benefit from the 50% bonus damage of Power Attack.

This build obtains the Iron Will feat at level 5 to mitigate dangerous Will failures, and the Blind Fight feat at level 6 to negate invisible enemy shenanigans. All remaining feat choices are dedicated towards elven curve blade usage, intimidation tactics, and late game dual wielding. The obvious endgame weapon is Bane of the Living, but inclusion of two-weapon fighting for double Allslayer usage provides attacks to devastate enemies that Harm could rejuvenate.
