How does it feel to be Internet Famous, BearThing?
Did you get called by Famous-B yet? 1-800-GET-FAME is your ticket to wider fame

Incoming bear focused build...
No Spell Vulnerability (Abuse) this time? Interesting. Barts are feat-starved so an extra feat could have helped make the bard better earlier.
@@ArcaneAgent Noice. Looking forward to it!
@@Porphyrogenitus1 I'll have my people look into your inquiry.
A bit late to the party but your builds are making my replay so much fun, thanks.
Trying a similar build on WOTR using the Dirge Bard archetype, should be interesting.
I'm currently working on breaking some animal companions
Inspire Greatness can be useful, if rarely, out-of-combat when you face particularly challenging athletics, mobility, or the like checks.
Have the bard pop it before you interact. That +4 bonus comes in real handy.
Or just reload the game for the Nth time, as is your wont!
Damn... can't imagine Pathfinder Kingmaker without you. They should pay you for all of these useful contents!
Well I mean I do make a little side money from youtube
I’ve been running trios for my past couple of runs. “The Three Sisters” Truth (LG Aasimar 15/3 Sylvan sorc/Divine hunter), Balance (LN Aasimar 16/2 Sage Sorc/arcane trickster), and Deceit (NE Aasimar 3/4/11 Blight Druid/sorc/Theurge) did very well until Castle of Knives. Now I’m running a trio of “Disciples of Shaeyln” with a Divine Guardian Paladin, Tactical Leader Inquisitor, and Crusader Cleric and focusing on synergy buffs.
Maybe videos for builds on stuff like that would be cool?
Hey great vid, i will suscribe looking foward to more wrath of the rightoeus videos
Waiting for the full release so bugs aren't as much of an issue
I wonder what it would look like doing this as an alternative Nok-Nok build. Restatting him to have some CHA. He's not wise so I can see him using wis as a dump stat. He's not smart but he's above-average for a goblin and sometimes says something surprisingly on-point. So I can see squinting and giving him a 12 13 int.
Thank you for the build! Is there any chance you could showcase a 2handed fighter build for a main character? Multiclass fighter is ok as well.
Working on a 2 handed sword dex fighter
Interesting stuff. I like this kind of thinking.
Well if you like it, try checking me out over on www.twitch.tv/thearcaneagent
Bro, love the scripture in the vids.
Thanks! I'm a christian and a youth pastor!
> Not a lot of amazing Bard spells
For a frontline Bard, Call of the Wild can help here. It adds in a lot of spells from the tabletop that benefit melee bards. You'd really like a couple of them.
"Which ones, Porphy? Which ones?
Bladed Dash and Greater Bladed Dash for two examples.
> TANK bard build
> takes offensive feats only
> 31 AC at level 17
bruh...
finally, a sane comment in here
Seize the Moment works with range weapons.
Outflank is melee only.
What is the party compo?
Bard tank
Paladin tank
Reach cleric
Slayer deliverer
Alchemist
???? Last one? Seems to have a pet too
First one to get here!! I am going to be playing Pathfinder Kingmaker soon for the first time and I want to do a full sorc with white dragon blood line. I was hoping you could do a build with spell and feat suggestions. Since its going to be my first playthrough I do not want to multi-class but I really also love the idea of going for Dragon Disciple. Do you think that's a good idea?
First time in IMO is best just to play what seems fun to you. You can always reroll later during the game if its not working out for you. :)
I think sorcerers are just amazing. Red dragon disciple starts to give you nat armor bonuses as well as strength bonuses. So it tends to lend towards a more melee focused prestige class
So true. I am the biggest respeccer known to man
@@ArcaneAgent what would be a more caster oriented prestige class??
Arcane Trickster. Allows you to sneak attack with ALL spells at Arcane Trickster level 10
Why wouldn’t you take slashing grace?
Awesome build! But with a +9 Dex, that chain shirt ain't doing you any favors.
can i do this with lindzi, will her halfling race drastically affect this build path ? cuz i would really like to tag her along
I wouldnt see why you cant!
@@ArcaneAgent I would have to respec her wouldn't I ?
Probably yeah
Question???
Instead of picking up martial proficiency, and using the kukri. Couldn't I pick up exotic proficiency, and use an estoc instead. It has double the damage of the kukri and the same critical chance??? 🤔🤔🤔
Probably a good idea as it would save you the TWF feat.
I just wanted to thank you for including the Bible verse at the beginning of each video. They're always inspiring, especially on those days when I need a little reminder of God's love. (And the builds are pretty nice too!)
People come for the builds, and stay for the bible hehe. I'm a youth pastor as well as a crummy youtuber.
Youth ministry is my calling, gaming is just my hobby
Do you do any builds that use Call of the Wild and Favored Class? I find most of these builds use a lot of options that can't technically be done in pnp like using combat trick over and over again.
I haven't been able to get call of the wild to work with the new definitive edition. Plus, Owlcats are constantly updating Kingmaker so the mods don't always line up
However, I'm fairly certain Wrath of the Righteous will have some great mod support!!!
@@ArcaneAgent strange, yeah I had a problem getting it to run, but then realized there's two downloads. The first and default download isnt for definitive. Had to go get the one that specifically referenced the newer client 2.1+
I'll have to try it
Dedicated crossbow build?
Will Linzi be able to play this if I respec her?
Yes
@@ArcaneAgent I didn't know what race she is so I just said Linzi 😂 but you got my question anyway. Thanks!
Is Thunder caller worth a build? Sounds cool.
You lose out on Dirge of Doom, which is an extremely powerful AoE debuff with no checks, inspire competence, and frightening tune in exchange for guaranteed dmg + low Fort DC stun Thunder Call, incite rage, and storm call.
Without Dirge, this means you'll need to use Dazzling (a full action as opposed to move action) or Dreadful Carnage (need killing blow) to apply AoE shaken with check (meaning they can fail) to get shattering defense online.
In practice this translate to Thunder Caller being stronger against mobs of weak enemies and enemies with low Fort save (as in casters) with Thunder Call and Incite Rage, but weaker against tougher enemies as it has to use Dazzling Display (requiring check, which can fail) as opposed to Dirge to apply shaken for your friends to use shattering defense to obliterate them.
Thus the advantage of thundercaller ends up being 'more aoe and CC' which can be covered by other classes, in exchange of giving up truly unique supportive bard properties (inspire competence for higher skill checks + dirge for guaranteed shaken). Still, there is value in duplicating roles, so take it as you will.
Having said that, it's still pretty viable and fun to play as Thunder Caller up until Hard difficulty (with a dip into Scaled Fist for much higher AC), and it definitely does give you a much easier early game as you have guaranteed dmg + chance to stun when accuracy is low. Just be prepared to save and load a few more times because you won't have inspire competence. (Haven't tried Unfair, I heard thundercallers are basically useless because of bloated stats on that difficulty). Oh, and Lingering Songs is a MUST, because songs gets interrupted if you use Thunder Caller.
How the heck did you get those attributes? I cant get 10/20/9/13/7/16. Not enough points.
Are you using human? Is it a main character?
@@ArcaneAgent Yeah human, no my second character made. Was going to make a whole group with your builds for the dungeon thing.
Ah, see main characters get a 25 point spread, secondary get a 20 spreas
@@ArcaneAgent Gotcha, had no idea that was a thing! Thanks!
> I really wish it told me how many mirror images I still had, or how much stoneskin was left.
Do you also want it to hold your hand and whisper soothing ASMR to you as you go into the scary dungeon? Maybe read you and your party a calming bedtime story and rock your cradle to sleep when you rest?
Arcane...it's going to be okay...you're the best....you're going to get through this...
