Ultimate PFS unarmed combatant required


Advice

Grand Lodge

Since the untimely demise of my last character I'm looking for an alternate. I love martials and even more unarmed combatants.

So what determines ultimate?

It's not just the ability to kick butt (although that's fun) I'm looking for something that is useful to a party outside the butt kicking times. I don't like the "Snorbag want punch bad guys, wake Snorbag when fighting starts" characters that martials seem to have become.

So what suggestions can any of you make for a new character that has the potential to have useful abilities to out of combat, fights unarmed, and is PFS legal?

I have or can get access to any and all books necessary.


Sacred fist Warpriest, I have one and am having a BALL with it.

Its the best of all worlds.


Skald Dragon Disciple...skills, magic, beat downs...

Liberty's Edge

Swashbuckler. Amazing damage. Super tough to hurt in melee. Great skill list.


Snakebite Striker Brawler 1, Scout (insert other archetypes here) Unchained Rogue +X. Take Sap Adept and Sap Master as feats, use Rogue Talent for Ninja Trick: Style Master for Dragon Style. Add in Enforcer for free intimidates on guys you hit in the face. Charge around the battlefield dealing unarmed non lethal sneak attacks that also stack on shaken and Debilitating Injury debuffs. Can add in the Cruel enchant on an AoMF for sickened in addition to shaken.

Dishes out beats, debuffs make your party happy, and you still have rogue skill ranks in your pocket if that's your thing. Splash in UMD and you have a pretty well rounded melee combatant, who's also no slouch with a bow since you're doubtless focusing on Dex (which you use for attack and damage with your unarmed starting at 4) Takes a couple levels to get fully up to speed, but well worth the investment I'd think.

Silver Crusade

Lore Warden Figher 7/ Maneuver Master Monk 4.

You have excellent combat capability with a reach weapon (and Improved Unarmed Strike for inside your weapon's reach), and also have serious knowledge skills. Put your fighter favored class bonus into CMD for grapple and another maneuver and never worry about getting grabbed, by spell or by beast.

What exactly are you looking for in your character? There are SEVERAL ways to make a really good unarmed character in PFS: Monk, Brawler, Unchained Monk, Brawler Fighter, Sacred Fist Warpriest, Swashbuckler, Daring Champion Cavalier, Irorian Paladin, Stalker, Unchained Rogue, Playtest Avenger Vigilante, Inquisitor, Barbarian, Blood Conduit Bloodrager, Magus, Warpriest, Hex Strike Shaman, Domain Strike Cleric, and many, many others.

Do you want to be STR based, Dex Based, or Wis Based? Do you want to be Martial, Arcane, or Divine?
