Pathfinder Kingmaker Magus Sword Saint Guide Install Link

I have structured it as a "Step-by-Step Installation Guide" (using the game’s level-up system as the "installation process").

Core Spells

Level 1: Shield (must-have for AC), True Strike (guaranteed hit), Color Spray (early CC).
Level 2: Mirror Image (best defensive buff), Frigid Touch (stagger on hit).
Level 3: Haste, Vampiric Touch.
Level 4: Stoneskin, Dragon’s Breath.
Level 5: Teleport, Baleful Polymorph.
Level 6: Hellfire Ray, Transformation.

Step 3: The "Unfair Mode" Kernel Update (Levels 5-7)

At level 5, you need to install the Scaled Fist module. This is non-negotiable for high difficulty. pathfinder kingmaker magus sword saint guide install

Level 5 (Sword Saint 5)

Feat: Outflank (Teamwork feat. Give it to every melee character).
Bonus: You now crit on 15-20. Congratulations.

Level 6 (Monk - Scaled Fist 1)

Do this now. Your alignment must be Lawful.
Feat (Monk): Crane Style.
Ability: Add your CHA (which is 7? Wait. That’s bad.) – Correction: This is why you go Lawful Good with high CHA. If you dumped CHA, skip Monk and wear heavy armor later via a feat.
- Alternative for low CHA: Just stay pure Sword Saint. Use Shield + Mirror Image.

Level 7 (Sword Saint 6)

Feat: Crane Wing (You now parry one attack per round).
Magus Arcana: Enduring Blade (Make your weapon last 24 hours).

Combat "Installation" (How to play)

Pre-buff (Every fight): Shield, Mirror Image, Blur, Haste.
Turn 1: Activate Arcane Pool (Elemental: Shock or Fire). Enable Spell Combat & Spellstrike.
Turn 2: Cast Frigid Touch (Level 2) through your sword. It deals weapon damage + 4d6 cold and staggers the enemy on hit (no save).
Turn 3: Cast Vampiric Touch (Level 3) to heal while nuking.
On Crit (15-20): Laugh as you deal 100+ damage and apply two debuffs.

Part 4: Troubleshooting “Install” Issues

| Problem | Solution | |--------|----------| | Mods not showing | Reinstall Unity Mod Manager and point to the correct Kingmaker.exe (not the launcher). | | Spell Combat stops working | Save, reload. Known vanilla bug – Call of the Wild fixes it. | | Game crashes on launch | Remove mods one by one. Usually caused by outdated mods after a game patch. | | Can’t find Estoc | Estoc appears in Act 2 (Varnhold). Use longsword until then. | I have structured it as a "Step-by-Step Installation

Combat Loop

Pre-buff: Cast Shield, Mirror Image, and Blur before combat.
Activate Arcane Pool: Your weapon gains +1 enhancement and keen (doubled crit range).
Use Spell Combat: Turn it on (icon in action bar). Now you cast and full attack in one round.
Spellstrike: Deliver touch spells (e.g., Shocking Grasp) through your weapon. If you crit, the spell damage also crits!
