Learn how to build and play the Gendarme in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Discover its unique feats, abilities, and progression to dominate the battlefield.
Alright, let's talk about the Gendarme. Think of them as the absolute masters of just straight-up fighting. They don't get bogged down in fancy tactics or coordinating with the whole team; instead, they get a bunch of extra combat feats that make them absolute powerhouses on their own.
The trade-off? They ditch all those neat teamwork abilities that other classes rely on. So, if you love being a one-person army and just smashing face with a weapon, the Gendarme is definitely your speed.
Here's how their level progression breaks down:
| Lvl | Feat | Special 1 | Special 2 | Special 3 |
| 0 | - | Cavalier Proficiencies | - | Animal Companion |
| 1 | Feat | Bonus Feat | Challenge | Order |
| 2 | - | - | - | Order Ability |
| 3 | Feat | Bonus Feat | Cavalier's Charge | - |
| 4 | - | - | - | - |
| 5 | Feat | - | Banner | - |
| 6 | - | Bonus Feat | - | - |
| 7 | Feat | - | - | - |
| 8 | - | - | - | Order Ability |
| 9 | Feat | Bonus Feat | - | - |

| 18 | - | Bonus Feat | - | - |
| 19 | Feat | - | - | - |
| 20 | - | Bonus Feat | Transfixing Charge | - |
Now, that Transfixing Charge at level 20 is pretty wild. Basically, when your Gendarme hits with a mounted charge, it does triple damage. And if you manage to land a critical hit on top of that? You'll also tack on extra damage equal to your weapon's base damage. That's a massive burst of damage, perfect for taking down tough enemies in one go!
