Amiri Build: Companions

Follow this Pathfinder: Kingmaker Amiri build guide from levels 2-20, focusing on Inquisitor and Fighter multiclassing for a powerful companion.

This guide details a build for Amiri in Pathfinder: Kingmaker, focusing on her progression from levels 2 to 20, emphasizing her role as a damage dealer.

Levels 2-7: Early Progression

Amiri's early levels involve a mix of Inquisitor and Fighter classes to acquire key abilities and feats. The goal is to gain an animal companion and enhance her combat prowess.

1. 2nd-level: Start with Inquisitor (Sacred Huntmaster) to gain an animal companion. A smilodon is recommended for high damage, though a leopard or wolf can be chosen for durability. Spells like True Strike and Remove Fear offer utility.
2. 3rd-level: Gain Weapon Focus: Bastard Sword and Cure Light Wounds.
3. 4th-level: Swap to Fighter (Two-Handed Fighter). Take the Power Attack feat. This level is taken to prepare for future feats and teamwork abilities.
4. 5th-level: Another level of Fighter. Take Boon Companion to improve the pet's progression and Combat Reflexes for future feat preparation.
5. 6th-level: Switch back to Inquisitor to gain Hunter Tactics and a free companion feat. Take Outflank. Grab Divine Favor for a minor self-buff.
6. 7th-level: Finish Inquisitor and return to Fighter. Gain Overhand Chop, which doubles Amiri's Strength bonus to damage on her first attack. Take the Vital Strike feat, allowing a standard action attack that deals double base damage, significantly boosting her damage output, especially when combined with Enlarge Person.

Levels 8-20: Ranger Focus

The latter half of Amiri's progression focuses on Ranger, streamlining her development and improving her pet. This phase grants new Ranger spells, Favored Enemy, Favored Terrain, and pet enhancements.

1. 8th-level: As a Ranger, select Favored Enemy: Magical Beasts for advantages against common foes.
2. 9th-level: Take Seize the Moment and the Cleave feat as a Combat Style Feat.
3. 10th-level: Choose Favored Terrain: Underground for bonuses in dungeons, particularly useful in Chapter 3.

This build aims to maximize Amiri's damage output by leveraging her unique abilities and strategic feat selection, making her a formidable force on the battlefield.
