Pathfinder: Kingmaker - PC
Where do I find my savegames?:
------------------------------
Pathfinder: Kingmaker Savegames can be found here:
%systemdrive%\users\%username%\
AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Kingmaker\Saved Games
(For those who don’t know, you can copy/paste the above path with the %
chars in it in explorer and it’ll directly open the folder)
Free Loot Glitch:
-----------------
If you have jaethal as special when resting you get undead guardians. If you
do this when resting during a mission. They appear when your attacked and
they die right after.
Bonus when you wake up there bodies are lootable. Got like20 sets of masterwork
longswordss and armor. And plain heavy shields.
Nice free loot.
Note: This glitch was performed on an unpatched version of the game.
It is likely to eventually get patched.
Tips & Tricks:
--------------
* Formations make a big difference. Unfortunately it seems you need to manually
change formations every time you get a new companion.
* Bear in mind how easy it is to flank and be flanked (two enemies adjacent).
That’s a free +2 to hit and activates sneak attacks.
* Drinking a potion gives your adjacent melee opponent(s) a free attack of opportunity.
Getting up from prone does the same. Try and heal before combat rather than during.
* For most skills, it seems better to have one specialist in each than a bunch of
generalists. The exceptions seem to be perception (checks take multiple rolls),
use magic device and mobility (you use on yourself). Everyone with high wis or
perception as a class skill should probably take perception (unless they are really
hurting for skill points).
* Use magic device is a really long term investment for most but it should pay off.
* From the tooltip, it seems you need arcane knowledge on the specific character to
learn new spells from scrolls (important for wizards, magus, alchemists).
* Orisons/cantrips are free but will quickly be out-classed. Use them extensively
at low levels while you can.
* For spontaneous casters (bards, inquisitors, sorcerers) with limited spells known,
each and every spell you take is a precious, precious resource. Try and take spells
which seem like they will have value throughout the game (i.e those that scale with
caster level) rather than those that do not. For example, sleep looks like a great
spell and it is at low levels. But you won’t cast it at all from the mid-levels on.
Leave those kind of spells to the wizard.
* Shooting into melee attracts a -4 penalty to hit. Ranged specialists take precise
shot to remove this. Recreational archers should generally try a different target.
* Use energy attacks/spells for swarms. They have high DR to weapons by design.
How to Use Custom Portraits:
----------------------------
You can prepare three your own portraits with names: Small, Medium and Fulllength.
All these images must be saved in PNG format with resolutions:
Small width: 185px, height: 242px;
Medium width: 330px, height: 432px;
Fulllength width: 692px, height: 1024px;
The gameflow looks like:
1. Start a New game.
2. Choose "Create a new character".
3. Click on icon "Custom portrait".
4. Click on button "Open portraits folder". (It works for Windows and Mac)
5. Replace portraits in opened folder or change it in your graphic redactor.
