Excellent build, as I've come to expect. The vast majority of what few guides and guidance we have tend to take the companion characters in radically different directions than their intended concept (due in no small part to sub-optimal stat spreads, and the wild over-performance of certain class combos); it's good to see on-theme builds that are nevertheless very competent.
Thanks, mate. My knowledge is very limited for this game and D&D overall so im trying to stick with simplest and most effective route that everyone can enjoy.
There's a build where you give her all sorcerer after level one that can basically solo the hardest difficulty of the game. You don't even have to respec her,
Better Jaethal build is go Cleric with Selective Channel. Clerics have better spellcasting and she can negative channel damage all enemies while healing herself. If they give you an undead character, abuse it.
Fextralife, can you please make a guide for Linzi. I'm about 100 hours into this game and in my opinion bards are the most OP class in the game. Their buffs, disables and support skills are so insanely good for a 6 man party that not running a bard is just like, why? Cacophonous call (for single targets or fear for groups of enemies, as both only give one save only and none of this save each round garbage) is amazing, giving your whole team extra to attack and damage with bard songs, or just fascinating massive groups of opponents so you can take them down 1 at a time. Buffing your team with good hope, then haste, which all stack. Plus you can heal. There's just no downside here. Would love to see a guide to just to let new players know how useful having Linzi barding it up for your team can be.
Love your builds and help me go through this. I can’t seem to find great builds on my on so kudos to you as always. Cmon guys spread this and be 100k subs!
Not only that, but as a *very experienced* pathfinder player, this build is terrible for new players. It's a meme build focusing on using a terrible weapon (scythe) on a character who can't even use them very efficiently. Way better to just take a composite longbow and the teamwork feat "friendly fire tactics" so that you get to ignore cover bonuses at level 3, then focus on making her a very strong bowman.
Depends on the build. I went for glaive+cleave+cleaving finish+greater versions of both. It might be worth on Jeathal because if you crit, you hit like a truck, and with VS you hit like a double truck.
All you kinda say is "you are an inquisitor, auto-level-up and remember to use the spells you get" .. - "you can also use other weapons and feat"... . I really dont see much of a buildguide here lol, this is what every guy everywhere would do if he knew absolutly nothing about the game.
Have a similar character irl Pathfinder Society Core Campaign, Nothing beyond the Core Rulebook is allowed in the core campaign, so no Inquisitor, but still my favorite character to play because she's so much fun. Cleric of Urgathoa3/Fighter2/Shadowdancer3/Barbarian2. A former cleric of Pharasma, she runs around the battlefield with Spring Attack and Whirlwind Attack with her scythe. Halfway through her career, she died and upon getting raised, switched to Urgathoa and used the Summon Shadow ability from her Shadowdancer prestige class to summon her "Mommy" as an undead companion. Looking at her character sheet, she shouldn't be able to function, but she does incredibly well and is a blast both in and out of combat. (She can walk away from a table in the middle of a conversation and no one notices) It's really unfortunate that Core doesn't get a lot of love in my lodge, I'd love to play her again. I was looking forward to recreating her in Kingmaker when I buy it this weekend, but unfortunately, no Shadowdancer.
In PnP Pathfinder, I recall Inquisitors being stupid overpowered, strictly off of an Intimidate build. If memory serves, you could intimidate as a free action and you could get it stupid high. Everything would be shaken or terrified and just run.
This is not a very good guide for several reasons. 1. You picked literally everything that's picked through auto level up, which is neither good nor optimal. 2. Its organized in a rather crude fashion, making the guide hard to follow. 3. You demonstrated it by killing DC6 monsters at level 20, giving off the impression you're strong, when you just cheated.
Hey, he needs to make vids somehow and to have a build guide before it becomes irrelevant. Most of the stuff he says comes from (i guess) Normal Pathfinder experince.
I appreciate that you're using low level fights to keep it spoiler free (i think question mark?) but it is just weird see a level 20 character with no real gear to speak of. Also, does anyone even really get to level 20 and remain there long enough before completing the game for advice centered around being level 20 to really be relevant? I mean, i get throwing in a line or two about it, but maybe do what you did for divinity and show us about what it looks like at different levels with appropriate gear for that level against fights meant to be fought at that level?
He could but hed need to play the game all the way for that. Or if there is a way to item codes for gear. Kingmaker isn't really mod friendly or has and console commands. Though honestly, i dont think lvl 16-20 are realy relevant since your completing the game by then but dont qoute me.
like your builds and have used them in my PT for the most part. Would you do a guide for nok-nok? (i konw he is good from the moment you get him, i just wonder how you would level him to 20)
i actually beg to differ... becoz ur combat-type dps jaethal doesn't exploit her undead character... i played Jaethal as a tank, given her free teamwork feats (back to back adds +2 PER melee character), but more importantly because as an undead, she is IMMUNE TO NEGATIVE LEVEL DRAINS (i cannot cfm for stat drain)
But can I play as a Hobbit rogue with the Hiding in Extremely Tight Space skill and hide in another characters ass though (provided I keep passing the rolls of course)??
Uhh to be honest Inquisitor is so strong that the starting sythe will carry you for a while, I did eventually upgrade her to a lightning sythe from the skeletal salesman but there should be better ones later on.
Because the real life inquisition were such great people? Seriously though, inquisitors are not paladins. I think of inquisitors as hardcore investigators and judges for their god. Doesn't really matter who that god is, just as long as you are doing their work. Laying down their law, pronouncing their judgments and carrying out their sentences.
actually what I mean is that the undead is usually hunted by both paladins and inquisitors since in most settings an inquisitor is part of the faith. which is why it so interesting she basically hunting herself or to put herself to rest
@@swardinc It's indeed interesting, isn't it? Thing is, the entire (I think?) pantheon of gods in Pathfinder are represented in divine class selection, which includes the patron of defiance over natural law and the pursuit of hedonistic pleasure at the expense of others. Jaethal's god, after she was slain while fleeing assassins after being exiled from her elven homeland for murdering her own family for power, appeared to her and revived her into an undead, leaving her a scythe and simply exalting her as a newly christened inquisitor.. but saying nothing of her purpose.
The thing about Divine casters is that it's tied to the god not the act of divinity itself. Palidins are on a whole diffrent level though but thats why Anti Paladins exist.
Teamwork feats usually require 2 characters to have the feat and then they both benefit from them when next to each other. Solo tactics means you can benefit from the feats you have taken without needing the second character with them.
He should have used two columns: One for the normal feats, and one for her teamwork feats. Also, while Cleave is clearly the way to go, her theme also strongly supports intimidation as the second choice in battle. After all, Her Loveliness is very much Linzi turned upside down; with divine instead of arcane, fear-debuffs instead of bravery-buffs, very dead against very alive, and selfish and merciless instead of goodie-two-shoes.
This game can be extremely rewarding, but comes with a huge caveat that you will be jumping way way into the deep end. If you like complex systems and aren't afraid to go online and look up the rules and spend A LOT of time figuring things out, then go for it. But if you don't want to spend the first 50 hours figuring shit out and most likely getting your arse handed to you, then stay well away from this one.

You guys are very thorough... I dig it....! (Y)
I’m a long time 3.5 player, just now getting into pathfinder 1e and kingmaker and I really appreciate all your videos! Thank you!!
Congrats on 835k subs. I remember when you were virtually unknown right about when New World came out.

Should be up tomorrow in article form on Fextralife.com. Working on it now.
Yeah, Bards are amazing for support.
Finally, good build concepts on TH-cam!

"Beginner guide", god I have no freaking clue what you're talking about all video, lol
Not only that, but as a *very experienced* pathfinder player, this build is terrible for new players. It's a meme build focusing on using a terrible weapon (scythe) on a character who can't even use them very efficiently.
Way better to just take a composite longbow and the teamwork feat "friendly fire tactics" so that you get to ignore cover bonuses at level 3, then focus on making her a very strong bowman.
They've patched vital strike so it's working now.
Is it worth taking?
Depends on the build. I went for glaive+cleave+cleaving finish+greater versions of both. It might be worth on Jeathal because if you crit, you hit like a truck, and with VS you hit like a double truck.
or triple truck with the next feat.
All you kinda say is "you are an inquisitor, auto-level-up and remember to use the spells you get" .. - "you can also use other weapons and feat"... . I really dont see much of a buildguide here lol, this is what every guy everywhere would do if he knew absolutly nothing about the game.
Yay New FextraLife build

@fextralive do you have build ideas for main/custom character? Cannot find it on your channel. Thanks :)
I would recommend also learn Heavy Armour .
The abilities listed are not the same names I see in game under inquisitor. Can you post the updated skills to choose?
How did you get those "Uninjured" health status?
more pathfinder!
i actually beg to differ... becoz ur combat-type dps jaethal doesn't exploit her undead character... i played Jaethal as a tank, given her free teamwork feats (back to back adds +2 PER melee character), but more importantly because as an undead, she is IMMUNE TO NEGATIVE LEVEL DRAINS (i cannot cfm for stat drain)
hope you make a guide for Crusader ^_^
Cleave and great Cleave in fighter tree
But can I play as a Hobbit rogue with the Hiding in Extremely Tight Space skill and hide in another characters ass though (provided I keep passing the rolls of course)??
Can anyone help me for a Abyssal Bloodline Sorcerer? Is it good? How to make it viable. I just like demon related classes such a warlocks
I prefer to give her a shield (and make a shield wall with Valerie) and use a one handed weapon, is there a good magic scythe in the game?
Uhh to be honest Inquisitor is so strong that the starting sythe will carry you for a while, I did eventually upgrade her to a lightning sythe from the skeletal salesman but there should be better ones later on.
Try eldrich scion, abyssal bloodline
I would love to have a written guide to this lol
There should be one on fextralife website.
I'm new to pathfinder so it kind of suprises me that a undead can be a inquisitor
Because the real life inquisition were such great people? Seriously though, inquisitors are not paladins. I think of inquisitors as hardcore investigators and judges for their god. Doesn't really matter who that god is, just as long as you are doing their work. Laying down their law, pronouncing their judgments and carrying out their sentences.

ahh and yes I saw the different ailments so far the game is very nice in those reguards
The thing about Divine casters is that it's tied to the god not the act of divinity itself. Palidins are on a whole diffrent level though but thats why Anti Paladins exist.
why you propose teamwork feats in your "important feats" for her then she has solo tactics...?
Teamwork feats usually require 2 characters to have the feat and then they both benefit from them when next to each other. Solo tactics means you can benefit from the feats you have taken without needing the second character with them.
He should have used two columns: One for the normal feats, and one for her teamwork feats.

Would you recommend this game to someone new to this type of rpg?
I better be in Streets of Rage 4 Skate No. I’d go with Pillars of Eternity or Divinity 2 if you’ve never played a CRPG before.
@@MekanikKommandoh88 I'm playing Divinity 2 right now. This game looks a lot more complex though
@@ibetterbeinstreetsofrage4s328 you can play divinity 1 if you want too, it starts easier than 2, so its nice to learn

Soooo...90% of the recruitable chars are chicks?
I know this is old but nope. 6 males and 7 females but two of the females are as far as I know not useable at the same time.
