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.

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.

I gotta remember to use my aid another on myself, that is +4 I keep sacrificing!

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.

Robert "Bo" Hardin |
Is there any feat i can take or create that would allow me to reload as a swift action?
Robert "Bo" Hardin |
Yea that will be Bo's feat as well if no swift action reload can be formulated..

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..
Robert "Bo" Hardin |
You guys are the scroll masters.. Its a no save spell.
