Kingmaker

Kingmaker is a unique Despot Axe.

Mechanics

Equipping this item grants the Kingmaker's Presence buff to nearby allies. It does not affect the user.

	30% increased Rarity of Items found Culling Strike +50% to Critical Strike Multiplier Fortify

Note that the "nearby" range is very small; it is measured to be a 30 unit radius. Using the Meat Shield Support will keep an Animate Guardian equipped with the Kingmaker from wandering outside of the player character's range while standing still. When the character walks around however, the Animate Guardian will fall in and out of range to apply Kingmaker's Presence.
