Help with build concept: The Drunken Ninja


Advice


The concept for this build is to get a never ending supply of Ki that the Ninja can use for Forgotten Trick. This lets the character tap into all the Ninja Tricks whenever they are needed without running out.

The way for this to happen is to pick up 3 or 4 levels of the Drunken Master Monk archetype that lets you constantly create new ki by drinking alcohol. For this build to work, you would need to have a Handy Haversack crammed full of alcohol in casks, wine sacks etc. You can take a few drinks in between encounters to top up your ki.

For a start, I'm wondering what other Monk archetypes you would take with the Drunken Master to make the most of this build. For instance, Master of Many Styles would allow you to pick up both Crane Wing and Snake Style within 3 levels making you pretty much unhittable.

I am looking for a 20 point build that is workable from low levels up to around level 12 which could be for society play or a campagin. No 3rd party products but all Paizo material is acceptable.

Is this build concept even workable? How would you flesh it out? All ideas are very welcome.


Hi c873788,

I made a build with this exact aim here:

The gist is:

1.) Sensei for wisdom to ki points, ac, to hit, will saves
2.) Sap Master/Sap adept for lots of SA damage
3.) A flask of endless sake (PFS legal) for endless alcohol

Its a very workable concept, but of course I didn't take the MoMS archetype (incompatible with sensei).

Thanks for the feedback, prototype00. Your build looks very interesting and the flask of endless sake adds a lot of character to the build.
