In this Pathfinder Kingmaker Guide we will take a look at Amiri. She starts off as a Barbarian, which is a very easy to play and a very effective class, making it perfect for beginners and players who don’t like to micromanage too much.
Could be built better, but this is a more lore-friendly version that actually doesn’t totally abandon Barbarian and is still usable.

Off-tank
Not lore-friendly. At all.
Stacks flat damage bonuses quite high. Can sport about 60 AC with legendary proportions. Ok-ish damage with Sense Vitals late. Nothing too spectacular, as Amiri tends to be, but does have some damage and can take a hit, so there’s that. If you need a second tank and CBA to get a merc – it is a serviceable option.
