Self-Ejected
He is good at what he does, throwing nasty high level high DC spells. I'm not crazy about him, but I'd certainly take him over Amiri build as a barbarian.
Amiri stats:
Str 16
Dex 13
Con 16
Int 10
Wis 12
Cha 10
not terribly min-maxed, but certainly very workable for a Barbarian. One more point of Dex and you're good for medium armor. She doesn't have maxed Barb attributes, but you could multi with Fighter, in which case she already has perfect plate armor Dex (and maybe feats with a Dodge prerequisite). Could also multi with Ranger for an effective archer (+2 stat equipment is availabe early on). All of that is readily apparent to a new player.
Harrim stats:
Str 14
Dex 8
Con 16
Int 10
Wis 18
Cha 10
I look at that and go "nop, a 14 Strength is usually bad news on a Cleric in D&D video games". This is probably even more true for Kingmaker because encumbrance based travel speed is one of the more interesting 'difficulty affecting' options. Also, for domains, Destructive Smite and Touch of Chaos aren't something I'd want on a low Strength Cleric. And 8 Dex, another oopsie. High Wisdom r gud, but it's more important for debuffs than buffs, and how effective exactly is a debuffing Cleric compared to a CC Druid or Wizard? Not very much probably. So yeah, all things considered, I look at Harrim and I think that this just doesn't cut it.
And what infodumps? Unless you actually ask him questions, the only time you get anything out of him is during his quests, just like any other NPC.
Uh... yeah. The 'only times' you get information from your companions is when you talk to them or when they decide to talk to you. Your point?
And I've been through his quests so I really don't know why they would bug you so much. Show him the error of his ways? Ugh, no thanks, I try to avoid playing team therapist as much as I can. If Harrim wants to be a depressed cleric of weird god, he can knock him self out.
Yup, I don't enjoy that role much either, unless I feel like I've already gotten everything I could out of all other characters. Exactly my point.
Also, like with Nok Nok, yeah if you dig Harrim's stats and you've found ways to make him shine with those stats, and you don't mind having an incoherent whiner in your party, go for it.
