TabletopTweaks-Core VS TabletopTweaks-Base

Based on Pathfinder 1e, albeit with a lot of omissions and modifications. FYI there are mods to add features and bring it closer to PnP such as Tabletop Tweaks.

Tabletop Tweaks has four components: the main Core mod which acts as the foundation; then the subcomponents (Base, Reworks, Flanking) which are built on top of TTT Core. There's also third-party addons listed separately. Upside to this modularity is you only need to install the features you want; downside is each component has to be updated separately.

A Skald MC can take Azata path for Aivu; or Improved Mythic Trick (Lore Religion) for Animal domain. For a Skald mercenary or Companion, though, you're SOL unless you either use Toybox to enable Mythic Paths for other characters (which is buggy so YMMV whether it even works); or you install Tabletop Tweaks for Animal Ally feat. I used TTT to give Regill a mount that way.

I'm using Tabletop Tweaks to play a Crusader cleric of Erastil. With Deadeye's Blessing, I get WIS to hit with longbows without dipping Zen Archer so I don't delay my spells and benefit from spellbook merging. [Still need DEX for some ranged feats, though, so it's not a total dump stat.] Basically the idea is to focus on buff spells and ranged DPS for the first two Acts, then shift into a more caster-focused role later on with archery as a backup.

If you're using mods, Tabletop Tweaks adds the Animal Ally feat. Why settle for conventional pet classes when you can have, say, pure halfling Mutation Warrior on a leopard? Go crazy!

This build turns Woljif into a Battering Blaster. Designed with mods (namely Tabletop Tweaks) but can be "downgraded" for vanilla WotR.

Tabletop Tweaks has this as an option, it will rename any and all items to reflect their current enchantments on the fly, what you are looking for is "Dynamic Item Naming".

To match his portrait, you can stick with glaives for roleplay flavor or switch to fauchards for better DPS / more crits (also more procs from Outflank). If you like Warpriests, consider adding Tabletop Tweaks which has a number of improvements for WP abilities; plus it adds the Animal Ally feat so a mounted Warpriest is possible (or use the Divine Commander archetype also added by TTT).

I posted this Tiefling Shieldbearer a while back. I'd do things a bit differently for my own build, though, without the OP's constraints. There's a mid-game light shield) specifically for Shieldbearers so I was thinking DEX-based handaxe+shield. I'm also using Tabletop Tweaks which has various improvements for both Warpriests and S&B toons.

Redeemer Queen cultist angel. The game doesn't mention them because it wants to credit Ember with her ascension, but there were cultists of Nocticula as the Redeemer Queen before her ascension. Post-ascension Nocticula is still a goddess of darkness, and even inspires rebels in Nidal be being a very different sort of shadowy diety than Zon Kuthon. Expanded Content will let you pick Nocticula as your diety, though only as a demon lord.

Install Tabletop Tweaks and take the Animal Ally feat. This is effectively a 3-feat tax since you also need Nature's Soul and Boon Companion.

If you are down for mods, install TTT, take Mage's Disjunction, take Metamagic (Selective)(net +0), take Favorite Metamagic for Selective, cast Selective Mage's Disjunction, enjoy saveless, roll-less, AoE dispel, that ignored Spell Resistance, guaranteed every time.

Tabletop Tweaks to add a lot of new features and make WotR's ruleset closer to PnP (some buffs but also a lot of nerfs to Owlcat cheese like over-stacking AC bonuses). A number of other modders use TTT-Core to build their submods.

If you don't mind mods, TabletopTweaks adds Animal Ally, which makes it easy for anyone to get a mount.
