Character Idea's

[Ictoo]

Hello, I'll be starting king maker soon and just wanted some idea of what class people think would be good for the campaign.

I really have no idea what i want to be. Some advice from people who have played the campaign without giving anything away?

Read the guide first if you haven't already. The guide has great advice on what fits.

That said, talk to your group and find out what is missing in the group.

Kingmaker, while a mainly wilderness game, is very much a sandbox game and just about anything would work. Also, your GM is encouraged to change things to his liking, so be sure to talk them about what wouldn't work.

Ranger. Favoured enemy: Human.

...Or whatever you like really.

(Edit: The main "face" gets to play "King" ^pronounced Tah-GET^)
So high CHA characters can be fun later.

Firstly I am playing this so I do not have total knowledge.

Wilderness types obviously do well. Classes with mounts get more use then normal and are therefore good choices.

Face characters seem to have great fun.

The lack of long dungeons favours classes which do well with short adventuring days/one encounter a day, so ninja's should do well. Having said that I am playing a half orc rogue, so take my advise with a pinch of salt.

[CalebTGordan]

I want to note that there are long dungeons later in the AP. That said, expect only one or two encounters per game day.

[Bigrin da Troll]

Cavalier, Bard or Witch.

Though really, any character is good other than an urban-focused or super-trap detector.

Along the lines of some advice from the Player's Guide... have you ever wanted to play a necromancer, non-civilized humanoid, or other character that has trouble in most settings? Kingmaker is a good environment for those character ideas. Most of the game at the beginning is exploring wilderness, and when the nation-building starts, your character will be in a position where the nation's subjects are less likely to voice their prejudices.
