Just playing with ideas for future builds, and I was hoping of finally getting to make a fun throwing build.
I had hoped that I could make a Warpriest of Desna obviously fighting with a starknife.
The problem I am finding is that as a warpriest I don't think ricochet shot is available until level 9, and I am really trying to get that number down to 6-7.
Here is my rough idea for feats. the problem seems to be needing to take Martial Focus as my level 6 bonus, and then ricochet toss needing a +6 BAB. I have fooled around with taking a level or two of fighter but it just doesn't seem to be working out.
Thoughts, advice?
feats:
1st: Point-blank shot
bonus: Weapon focus: starknife
Human: Precise shot
3rd: Startoss Style
Bonus: Quick draw
5th: Startoss comet
6th, Bonus: Martial focus
7th: Startoss Shower
9th: Ricochet Toss
Bonus: Deadly Aim

I'm not completely familiar with the Weapon Master's Handbook.
But how can you get Ricochet Toss for a Warpriest without Multiclassing or getting the mentioned Archetype?
It says you need Weapon Training.
There's a feat that gives you (if I recall correctly) +1 damage with a fighter's weapon group, and you count as having received Weapon Training for prerequisite feats.

Yes, the feat you're looking for is called "Martial Focus". It requires BaB +5 and allows any character to select a Weapon Group, gives +1 damage to all weapons within that group and treats your PC as having Weapon Training for that group. The Weapon Master Handbook is a godsend book.
Go human, take Ricochet Toss as your FCB bonus feat at 6th.

You need BAB +6 for Ricochet Toss, so unfortunately the human FCB won't work. The FCB bonus feat is just that, a bonus feat. It isn't part of the warpriest class feature you get at 3rd and every 3 levels beyond which allows you to count your Warpriest levels as fighter levels and BAB.
What you could do is retrain your 3rd level Warpriest bonus feat into Martial Focus at 5th level, then at 6th use your Warpriest bonus feat for Ricochet Toss.
The FCB bonus feat is just that, a bonus feat.
Has it ever been clarified that it's a bonus feat and not a bonus feat? I don't recall any ruling that it wasn't a warpriest bonus feat, so can you link the FAQ/errata for that?
The way it's worded "Warpriest: Gain 1/6 of a new bonus combat feat." seems to be pointing to the warpriest feature. If it's just passing out any old combat feats, then why add "new" or "bonus". 'Gain 1/6 of a combat feat' sounds more like what you're talking about.

Consider me on the side that it's also a warpriest bonus feat, one that would be considered fighter for BAB and level. I don't think there's any other class that has an FBC for a variable bonus feat (some have it for specific bonus feats I think, but none are variable), so at least as far as the entry reads, I'd consider it a warpriest bonus feat. Also Arsenal Chaplain could get you WT 1, which would allow you to pick up ricochet at 6th regardless of that fact.
Wow thanks everyone, I'll check with my GM about this, shouldn't be a problem for the FBC feat, works perfectly in fact! Arsenal Chaplain is a great option but away from the feel of the character i was looking for.
