just always flank with Bandy!
With the weapon set-up I'm only losing 2 on the attack, which isn't really comparative with +7-20 to Attack by particular ammo (if I'm reading the rules right?)
I'll think about it, I may have to switch to something like gun tank.
Truthfully, the real threat tends to be the casters, though you could also be a fighter if you like (trench fighter archetype isn't bad). You would be able to load up on enough feats to have snap shot out to distance.
just flank with bandy!
I'm in a Rappan Athuk game which just lost a couple of players. We could use a melee type (tank) and a tranfindery type.
Anyone interested?
what level? Im in one as a level 9 armor master right now, if the levels are different enough it might be fun to make something
We're quite early on at 3rd level doing the intro dungeon before RA. I doubt the GM would want you in though if you're in his other game.
GM is brvheart

no I'm in a different game. ill ponder it
Big day at work, bot me if needed to move the game along.
OK, I'm bored enough to start up another game on a quirky idea. Figured I'd give players I know first shot if they are interested.
Concept will be to see how gestalt fares against mythic critters. I'll do it in the context of the high level Paizo modules starting with Academy of secrets. I'll just give a couple of mythic tiers to the critters so they are not just paper mache.
If anyone is interested let me know. Level will be 13th, gestalt, probably 20 point flat buy with no dumping under 10 (race can take it lower). Normal WBL, not sure on restricting races. Paizo only, no gunslingers, unchained summoners and more or less everything else goes. You'll probably need it against Mythic.
So, if you are interested, let me know, then I will start a general recruiting. I'm thinking of running 2 tables (might as well since all the mythic conversion will be enough work).
Obviously twinking is the goal here.
hmmmm that is interesting...
maybe a fighter/wizard or sorcerer obviously focus on usingg rays
I did fail to mention people will automatically get Mythic Companion (the feat that makes non mythic people/things count as mythic).
Started the thread for the new game in case people are interested.
I'll go post. Still haven't figured it out
I will take care of leveling Yap.
I gotta remember to use my aid another on myself, that is +4 I keep sacrificing!
Huh, how do you use aid another on yourself?
It is the key ability of the halfling opportunist
A halfling opportunist can use an enemy’s actions in combat for her own gain, as if the opponent were using aid another to assist the opportunist, giving her a bonus on her next skill check, attack roll, or to AC against the next attack. The enemy must be able to reach the opportunist, and the opportunist must activate this ability as an immediate action and succeed at a combat maneuver check against the enemy’s CMD; at the GM’s discretion, the opportunist can substitute another ability score modifier for her Strength modifier when making her combat maneuver check (such as using Dexterity for an agility-related action or Charisma for a social-related action). If the halfling succeeds at this combat maneuver check, she adds the aid another bonus to her action on her next turn and subtracts that bonus from the enemy’s roll for that action. Note that if the combat maneuver check is successful, the outcome of the enemy’s roll is irrelevant to this ability—a halfling opportunist can use a giant’s swinging club to jump farther whether the giant hits or misses with its attack roll.
The GM decides whether the enemy’s action can benefit the opportunist in the desired manner. Circumstances occurring between the enemy’s turn and the halfling’s turn may prevent her from following through with the desired action); if this occurs, she loses the bonus from aid another but can take her turn normally.
Example: Piria is a halfling opportunist battling an ogre in a walled arena. On the ogre’s turn, it swings at her with its club; Piria’s player wants to use her exploitive ability to catch the club and use its movement to boost her toward the top of the arena wall, giving her a bonus on her Acrobatics check to jump. The GM decides this is a reasonable use, has the player make a combat maneuver check against the giant’s CMD, and allows her to use Piria’s Dexterity bonus in place of her Strength bonus in the check. She succeeds and will gain the aid another bonus on her Climb check on her next turn. The GM rolls the ogre’s attack with a –2 penalty, hits Piria, and deals damage, but Piria still gets the aid another bonus on her next Acrobatics check— perhaps as the ogre’s club hit her, she grabbed it, flipped onto it, and on her turn can jump from the swinging club using the +2 bonus from aid another.
Then with Excellent aid I get +2 to an aid another attempt on myself.
Of course the ability is dependent on my actually saying it works, and hence will require you coming up with a decent excuse as to why.
Quality humor will constitute a good excuse.
when i used it before i usually argued that i would duck under their swing and get closer to them to up my AC or use the momentum of their attack to make my blade hit harder, that was the generic for a hit or AC bonus. ill get clever
Super busy with training this week, but ill try to update Bo and Yap soon..
I believe Exploitive Maneuver is nothing more than pointing and saying "hey look -- there's Elvis!!": the action which is exploited simply comes from the enemy glancing away in hopes of an Elvis sighting...
Is there any feat i can take or create that would allow me to reload as a swift action?
Tirion now has Improved Precise Shot! Also, Sneak Attack now adds 7 dice, and I bumped Diplomacy to +18...
Yea that will be Bo's feat as well if no swift action reload can be formulated..
Trying to decide between Weapon of Awe for a spell or Perceived Cues.. The later is better but theres already super high perception in the group..
Is there any feat i can take or create that would allow me to reload as a swift action?
Nope, Generally getting any faster than rapid reload requires a class ability.
Heck, it is a six shot revolver.
Also, I will take care of leveling Yap, you don't need to.
Just gotta select my feat. Improved crit maybe? And other thoughts?
Oh duh. Greater twf
Ok improved precise shot it is then.. And dam i already had lol.. I guess link the 10th level one so i can copy paste him when ur done..
If you've already leveled him, I won't bother, you can use your version, though I will want to see it. I've been keeping to buff/heal sorts of spells.

Updates done! Note: updated character to match the fighter buffs on the Campaign Details Page. Selected Perception, Appraise, Sense Motive as Class Skills, Will as other "Good" Save.
Picked up Shield Snag, which allows me a free disarm with Attack Roll upon a hit with shield bash which does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Note: I cannot use this while using Shield Slam.
Yea I remembered you saying you wanted him as a buff/healer and not a damage dealer so I went that way as well. TBH he would need spell focus and a higher charisma to be a blaster anyways..
The only difference between the builds is skill and spell selection. I chose Communal Air Walk to give the party a way to fly for short periods of time and maxed out UMD.. I though about Break Enchantment and Plane Shift, but ended up settling on Air Walk because the group currently has no way to fly..
I can get Break Enchantment if yall think it'll be better though..
Nah, air walk would work fine.
Shame we can't dimensional lock these baddies. What is this, the 3rd boss to get away?
He's not getting away, he's regrouping. But you don't know that.
You guys are the scroll masters.. Its a no save spell.
Is it? Didn't realize no save
Requires a touch attack, but gives no save.
The fire goes out after a while, and will no do enough damage to kill you.
what is communal spells...havent heard of that one.
45,000
Ok im confused.. We dont level to 14 but we get level 14 money?
I thought we leveled before we went, hence the delima my brain.. My bad..
yea i am stupid as well. thought that meant a new level
I will be more explicit in the future as to avoid confusion.
You are currently 13th level. Your WBL should be 140K GP. That is an increase of 32K GP from the 12th level value.
yerp...dropping the upgrades to armor i added, spending all my leftover money from prior...so upgrading my headband and weapons, and not upgrading my dex bonus
So, just so I'm clear, we're getting an extra 32k?
correct
