My group is soon doing our session zero, but we are all underwhelmed by the campaign traits offered, but not so much for their relative power, but for their lack of variety.
Would you be able to suggest some traits that tie a larger range of backgrounds into the story arc?
Mebbe using some of the other campaign traits from differing adventure paths to be adjusted over to Kingmaker? Possibly even combining the actual Kingmaker traits with regional ones for extra variety? ;)

I had written a couple traits for two homebrew modules built around Kingmaker. One was Dragon's Demand if it took place in the kingdom and the other was a sort of Kingmaker After Story so the fluff of these traits may not fit too well. Most were purposely made more powerful than other traits but generally within the half a feat rule. Feel free to adjust them.

The best leaders aren't always good but you are. Righteous leaders bring out the best in their men and sometimes that means sharing their burden on the path to righteousness. Righteous leaders lead by example.

If you select the Leadership feat at any point when you meet the prerequisites for that feat, you can recruit a cohort who is up to 1 level lower than you (instead of the normal requirement that your cohort must be 2 or more levels lower than you are) as long as your cohort is good.
