Learn how to appoint advisors and unlock new leadership posts in Pathfinder: Kingmaker. This guide covers all advisor roles and their requirements.
Alright, so you've just gotten your barony in Chapter 2 of Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and it's time to get down to business! You've got five main advisor spots to fill: Regent, Councilor, General, Treasurer, and High Priest. The good news is, if you've been recruiting everyone you could in Chapter 1 (Amiri, Harrim, Jaethal, Valerie, and Linzi, plus optional folks like Regongar, Octavia, and Tristian), you'll likely have candidates for most of these. The only one that might give you a headache initially is the Treasurer, as some of the best options won't show up for a bit into Chapter 2 or even Chapter 4. Don't sweat it too much though – if you've hired any mercenaries, they can fill in, even if they're not the most competent.
Here's a quick rundown of who can fill which role:
| Character | Advisoral Roles |
| Amiri | General |
| Bartholomew | Diplomat, Treasurer |
| Ekundayo | Minister, Warden |
| Harrim | High Priest |
| Jaethal | Curator, Minister |
| Jhod | High Priest |
| Jubilost | Minster, Treasurer |
| Kanerah | Treasurer |
| Kassil | General |
| Kesten | Warden |
| Lander | Regent |
| Linzi | Curator, Diplomat |
| Maegar | Treasurer |
| Octavia | Magister, Regent |
| Regongar | General, Warden |
| Shandra | Councilor |
| The Storyteller | Curator, Magister |
| Tristian | Councilor |
| Tsanna | Councilor, High Priest |
| Valerie | Diplomat, Regent |
| Vordakai | Magister |
As you play and your Kingdom Stats improve, your advisors will start asking to delegate more tasks. This is how you unlock new, more specialized advisor posts! You'll need to rank up your Kingdom Stats to Rank IV in specific areas to unlock these: Community unlocks the Grand Diplomat, Loyalty unlocks the Curator, Military unlocks the Warden, and Divine unlocks the Magister. The Minister is a bit of a special case – it requires Relations Rank IV, which is tied to the Grand Diplomat, making it a third-tier role. It's worth getting these unlocked because having a full roster of competent advisors is key to a thriving kingdom!
Here's the full breakdown of the roles you can unlock and how:
