PATHFINDER KINGMAKER WALKTHROUGH TRIAL

Adding insult to injury is that you don’t know how powerful your enemy is, and trial and error is the only way to find out. The game suffers from balancing issues where one moment you can destroy 15 wolves, and right after a group of bandits will wipe out your party nearly instantly.

Thankfully the Difficulty Option is always there to be changed to accommodate you. Playing on Normal Difficulty or lower is recommended even for more experienced RPG players, at least until you get a full party. Pathfinder Kingmaker is extremely challenging on higher difficulties to the point that is just downright unfair sometimes. Checking out the in-game Encyclopedia is a great way to familiarize yourself with game’s mechanics. These are all just some basics to begin to understand the complex nature of this game and how some systems work. By taking the Improved Critical Feat for a specific School of Magic, a Crit Roll will initiate upon hitting 19 and 20, not just 20 like before. In short, Critical Hit means that you roll your damage more than once, with all your usual bonuses, and add the rolls together. Spells that require an Attack Roll can also Crit if 20 has been rolled. If it says x2 then it means Critical Damage is double the normal damage.

Critical Damage is displayed in brackets. Rolling 20 is automatic hit, regardless of enemy AC.

If the Critical Roll is lower than enemy AC then the attack does standard damage. If the Critical Roll is higher than enemy AC then the attack does Critical Damage. This means that by rolling 19 or 20 and upon a successful hit you initiate another roll called Critical Roll. If it says 19-20 (x2) then you need to roll 19 or 20 to initiate a Critical HitRoll. Checking the weapon information will tell you what Roll you need to initiate a Critical Hit.

Critical HitsĬritical Hits depend on Rolls and the attack that you are doing. Ranged Weapons, cannot have bonus damage from Strength except Thrown Weapons and Composite Bows. The total damage done is then reduced by the enemy’s Damage Reduction stat. Attribute Modifier bonus comes from Strength if applicable. 2d6 means roll two 6 sided dice (possible outcome 2-12). 1d8 means roll one 8 sided die (possible outcome 1-8). These are numbers such as 1d8, 2d6 and so on. Finesse is usually used for Dual Wielding characters.ĭamage Roll + Attribute Modifier (if applicable) + Additional Damage Enchantments = Xĭamage Rolls are based on the Weapon or Spell you are using. There is a feat called Finesse that lets you use Dexterityfor Attack Rolls instead of STR. Melee attacks use Strength for Attack Rolls while Ranged Attacks, including spells that aren’t melee Touch Spells, use Dexterity. If X is equal or greater then enemy Armor Class (AC) you will hit an enemy. The following are some basic formulas of calculating Attack and Damage numbers: AttackĪttack Modifier (Basic Attack Bonus (BAB) + Attribute Modifier (Str 13 means +1 Modifier) + other bonuses such as Size and Weapon Focus ) + Dice Roll 1-20 (d20 )= X. In this section we will take a look at how attacking, defending and critical hits are determined, and how the dice rolls factor into this. A low roll can lead to activating the trap instead, damaging everyone around it, even with an significant investment into Trickery. Trickery + Dice roll determines if the trap will be disarmed. The same system applies to, let’s say, disarming a trap. If you fail badly in a certain encounter, that does not mean you will fail a second time, but building characters properly increases better overall score thanks to added bonuses. The most important thing to know here is that it is a Dice based system, meaning RNG is an important factor because of Dice Rolls.

There is a lot of depth and complexity in these rules, which can put off many players immediately. The first thing you need to know is that Pathfinder Kingmaker is based on Pathfinder Pen and Paper rules. In this Guide I am going to cover some basic things that will help in your early endeavors, and ensure to get off to a good start. Pathfinder Kingmaker is complex, punishing and sometimes confusing, even for veterans of the RPG genre.
