Trippin Mad Dawg

Trippin Mad Dawg

True Neutral. As the name implies, the Trippin Mad Dawg is all about tripping opponents. Doggo animal companion grants more opportunities (such a good boi), while three levels into Sacred Huntsmaster increase the overall mayhem with Hunter Tactics and Tandem Trip. Requisite feats for maximizing CMB are included in the build: Trip, Greater Trip, Fury’s Fall, and Coordinated Maneuvers. Two-Weapon Fighting because, why not?

Half-Orc Javelineer

Half-Orc Javelineer

Chaotic Neutral. Javelins are one of the weapons that suffered major developer negligence in Kingmaker. There are zero unique javelins and programmer oversight made javelins not benefit from Weapon Training. While try to avoid overt min-maxing, javelin builds are completely reliant on feats or class features to maintain relevancy. If you choose to follow the path of a Fighter, the aforementioned Weapon Training bug will never get patched. Do not invest more than 12 levels: there’s nothing of value after Greater Weapon Specialization.

Elven Curve Blademaster

Elven Curve Blademaster

Lawful Evil. 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 variant if you can defeat the astradaemon. As a two-handed weapon an elven curve blade benefits from 50% bonus damage with the Power Attack feat. If you’re not dabbling with multiclass madness, a straightforward rogue can utilize these exotic swords to create an effective melee build.
