Step 2: Ability Scores (The 25-Point Buy)

Since you cannot wear armor, your stats are critical. We are building a Dex-based Sword Saint using Weapon Finesse and Slashing Grace.

• Strength (Str): 10 – We will use Dexterity for damage via Slashing Grace. Do not dump to 7, or you will be encumbered.
• Dexterity (Dex): 19 (Start here, pump every +1 into Dex at levels 4,8,12,16,20) – Your attack rolls, AC, reflex saves, and initiative.
• Constitution (Con): 12 – You are not a barbarian. You need HP to survive the occasional crit through your mirror images.
• Intelligence (Int): 16 – This fuels your Canny Defense AC, bonus spells, and spell DCs. Essential.
• Wisdom (Wis): 10 – Magus has poor Will saves. But we’ll use gear to fix this.
• Charisma (Cha): 7 – Dump stat. You are a sword saint, not a party face.

Final Stats (Level 1 Elf): Str 10, Dex 19, Con 12, Int 18 (16+2 racial), Wis 10, Cha 7. It sounds like you want a feature (e

Step 4: Feats – The Installation Manual

A Magus is feat-starved. You must install these in the exact order. (Human gets an extra feat; for Elf, we will be tight).

Level 1: Weapon Finesse (Use Dex to hit with dueling sword). Level 3: Slashing Grace (Use Dex for damage with dueling sword). Level 5: Combat Casting (+4 to concentration for casting in melee – mandatory). Level 5 Magus Bonus Feat: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Dueling Sword). Level 7: Improved Initiative (Go first, kill first). Level 9: Outflank (Teamwork feat – every melee in your party must take this. +4 to hit when flanking). Level 11 Magus Bonus Feat: Improved Critical (Dueling Sword). Your crit range becomes 15-20. Level 13: Critical Focus (+4 to confirm crits). Level 15: Blind-Fight (Essential for late-game Fey enemies with Displacement). Level 17 Magus Bonus Feat: Greater Weapon Focus (Dueling Sword). Level 19: Critical Mastery (Apply two critical feats at once). Step 2: Ability Scores (The 25-Point Buy) Since

Mythic Feats (If using Varnhold's Lot / Enhanced Edition):

• Mythic Weapon Finesse (Apply Dex to damage fully).
• Mythic Improved Critical (Crit range 14-20).

Step 8: Party Composition – Who Supports the Saint?

You are the main tank and single-target damage dealer. You need support.

• Cleric (Tristian or Harrim): Need Death Ward, Freedom of Movement, and Heal.
• Bard (Linzi): Inspire Courage (+3 to hit/damage), Good Hope. Essential.
• Ranger (Ekundayo): Ranged damage with Devourer of Metal. He kills the mages you can't reach.
• Alchemist (Jubilost): Shield infusion on you (so you don't waste a spell slot) and Holy Bombs for swarms.
• Optional – Kineticist (Kanerah/Kalikke): Fire damage for trolls and swarms.

Avoid: Valerie (Fighter). You already tank. You don't need another melee who blocks your Spell Combat movement.

Core Spells

• Level 1: Shield (must-have for AC), True Strike (guaranteed hit), Color Spray (early CC).
• Level 2: Mirror Image (best defensive buff), Frigid Touch (stagger on hit).
• Level 3: Haste, Vampiric Touch.
• Level 4: Stoneskin, Dragon’s Breath.
• Level 5: Teleport, Baleful Polymorph.
• Level 6: Hellfire Ray, Transformation.

Installation & Mod Notes (Pathfinder: Kingmaker)

• To install mods or community fixes: use the game's mod manager (if present) or manual installation:
  1. Download mod archive from a trusted source (Nexus Mods typically).
  2. Extract to the game's Mods folder (Pathfinder Kingmaker\Mods) or follow mod-specific instructions.
  3. Enable mods via the game’s mod toggle (if supported) or ensure correct load order via mod manager (Vortex or WB mod manager).
  4. Backup saves before enabling mods; some mods are not compatible with existing saves.
• Recommended mods for class/bugs: look for community patches, UI improvements, and mod packs that restore missing archetype features or balance changes.
• For script/feature additions (Sword Saint archetype reinstatement or rebalances), ensure compatibility with current game version and read mod descriptions for conflicts.

Overview
