Pathfinder: WotR - Nenio Companion Build - The Fear-Monger 

Scare Scroll

Sorc is 1 level dip class only, it especially bad for a lich,

Lawful good is boring af

It is 36 for the lvl 4 version, which is not that great. The lvl 8 version would be with heighten and persistent, and be 38, and require rolling twice. For me the lvl 4 slots are filled with improved invisibility, and the lvl 5 slots with extended improved invisibility. The rolling twice is the real killer, and turns say a 11+ required to save (50% chance) into a 25% chance to succeed as you need to do it twice, and it gets worse from there.

Its a prerty mild spoiler since its part of her first companion quest but you can also find out just by looking at her character sheet at any time. But yeah, she's a kitsune (like the creature from Japanese mythology) and can shapeshift into a human form at will. Her portrait changes depending on what form she's in so she can stay in human form if you prefer it over the fox

@@davidmaxwell4696 I know about the kitsune part since I advanced in the story since that but as a first time player it was a pretty big spoiler especially since that first prologue can take up to 10-14 hours in my case ... I feel like it's way longer than kingmakers prologue

I’m on my third playthrough I’ve had a couple bugs no real game breaking. The one that cost me a lot of time was a lich bug but it’s been patched already

There are some... nothing that breaks the game. It's fun.

Thanks guys! I just finished Kingmaker so Im really interested in this

Hey bro got the game last month and I went in blind as it’s my first pathfinder game. Had a blast and finished my first Playthru last week. I believe I had one bug that didn’t allow me to do a companion quest (nenios actually lol), either that or I couldn’t find a resource needed to progress the dungeon. That was probs the biggest bug, and I guess some of the fights are bullshit but I was a noob who played on daring difficulty and toned it back down to normal. Currently on second playthru diff mythic path tho and so far no crazy bugs I think. Except deskari 😂

@@dumplingshakes22 if i may ask, you say you are om your third playthru, im almost 100 hours in My first and feel like i have plenty more, how many hours have you done each playthru?

Daeran's the strongest choice what with Mythic Channeling, the various Life Oracle revelations, and automatically learning almost every healing spell in the game (Which he can then cast spontaneously) Sosiel's a solid choice too, but he'll have fewer spell slots, no fancy revelations, and doesnt benefit as much from Mythic Channeling since it scales off CHA Seelah's a decent side healer since she gets channel but she gets minimal spells and she's better off focusing on attacking in combat. Still a good healer after combat After that Id say Camellia, if you get her the Life spirit via Second Spirit. It gives her channel, lets her put healing spells in the Spirit Magic slot, and a couple other things besides Worst us probably Ember. Her only unique thing is the healing hex which is nice early on but very quickly becomes useless. Otherwise, she's far better if you focus on her damage output since she's an insane blaster. If youre going all in on fire damage btw, I highly recommend a 1 lvl Crossblooded Sorcerer dip (Gold Dragon + Fire bloodlines). It gives a solid boost to her fire spell damage and lets her convert any elemental spell to the fire type so it deals fire damage and benefits from the Elemental Focus feat, its great for spells like chain lightning, icy prison, her damage cantrips, etc.

You can do that, but it's very feat heavy.

It should be a bug as it is very silly otherwise. It works with the main character and a legends build, so you have 10 extra feats to spend on it, and you get spell focus/greater spell focus on every other school and have +14 to save DC because of that.

Another I'd consider is expanded arsenal for either enchantment or evocation if you want a little more spell diversity in case you run into something that either can't be or is highly unlikely to be affected by phantasmal killer or weird (especially if Nenio is going to be your only pure arcane spellcaster in your group)

It supplements spell pen though, but initiative is good option as well

@@Foefaller Just having few slots of shadow conjuration and evocation + some scrolls and per rest summoning items for consumables slots were enough.

IIRC persistant is not actually on the list of favoured metamagic, this might be a bug. For the lich playthrough wanted to use the 10th level slots for persitant werid, but seems to be not possible.

@@lostsoulltd True, but only up to the 7th level. I also had my Nenio pick up Ascended Element Ice and filled a few of her 8 and 9 slots with Polar Ray and Icy Prison mass. The Later has been great at taking down mobs of enemies that would have otherwise ignored Weird (particularly all the mummies in The Enigma, which you are expected to bring Nenio along) and I've discovered that mythic demons who revive once during combat don't have any ability drain/damage restored, so killing them with Dex drain means they're still just one dex point away from death even with full hp.

There’s no bloodline that increases DC of Phantasmal Killer or Weird (Negative Emotion, Fear). Fey gives +2 to Compulsion and Infernal gives +2 to Charm. Undead allows you to mind-affect undead creatures and Serpentine allows affecting animals, magical beasts and monstrous humanoids.

@@GewalfofWivia arcane increases the DC of metamsgicked spells, so when you persistent a pk it also gets +1 dc

Yes. Raising the caster level doesn't make the spell any harder to resist, it just makes your caster level higher, meaning you have a better chance to beat spell resistance checks. The warmage makes the actual number they have to beat higher, which is far more effective.

It does. The DC stuff is all untyped if you read the descriptions. You can also see the DCs change in game if you look in the spellbook.

Untyped bonuses stack. DC bonuses only don't stack if they're enhancement bonuses.

How about you try it yourself. No need for pics.

Mort has one. It’s posted about a week ago. Thumbnail is “the cauterizing flame”

I use her as pure utility; Blur, Haste, Displacement, etc

This is generally what all spell casters do in D&D. They are control and buffers, for the most part. They only see any action in the hardest battles, because spell casters get very few spells per day they can use. It's not like they have some kind of mana pool and can blast away all day long.

@@droe2570 Depends. My Phantasmal Mage kills stuff, but I make Nenio into a Sage Sorcerer. You can make them more utility based or not.

@@thinking-ape6483 Sure, but that still does not change the fact that you only get a handful of casts, and that the RNG makes the spells unreliable, so you may have to cast PK two or more times on the same mob.

@@droe2570 sure, which is why you try to get DC as high as possible.

They are on my list

That's why high difficulties pretty much ruin the game. They take away most of the fun and flexibility. I enjoyed my normal run 10x times more than the one after which was on Core. Halfway through act 2 I had to tweak the difficulty because it just becomes unfun.
