Or rather using them I'm not sure if this should be advice or general discussion >.>
Anyone know any nifty ways of making your effective weapon size Collosal
The thought came to me when that guy from a couple days ago was talking about level 20 druids. I was thinking about being a war cat with a tiger companion and casting animal growth and quickened animal growth on you and your cat and then being some horrid war engine.
Then I thought, where has room for a huge and a gargantuan tiger and war cat to go bounding around. And then I thought, BIG WEAPON DICE ARE COOL and now I'm here.
Shillelagh, Giant form, Lead blades all seem like interesting ways of getting a bigger weapon. Tell me what you know.
Answer: Magic.
Advice: Be aware that multiple size-increasing/form-changing effects do not stack. The polymorph rules in the magic chapter of the core rulebook are clear that you cannot benefit from polymorph effects and size-altering effects at the same time. For example, you cannot be wildshaped into a cat and benefit from enlarge person at the same time.
Also, trying to increase a weapon's size more than twice won't work. According to the FAQ, you get one actual size increase, then one effective size increase. Giant form and lead blades would work together, but lead blades would not stack its size increase to damage with shillelagh.
Biggest I believe is lead blades with a large greatsword using titan fighter/barb to wield it, then many levels of kineticist to be able to turn huge, which I think increases your physical size by 2 as well.
*this is excluding stuff with sunblades
Does Shilleligh not stack with Giant form? I'm confused because as I understand it shilleligh doesn't literally make your weapon bigger but I may be wrong.
What is sun blade?
Shilleligh wouldn't stack with lead blades but would with giant form.
There are 2 types of weapon increases. more damage without being bigger, and magically becoming bigger. These stack together, first make it physically bigger, then apply the magically bigger part to that new damage base.
Shilleligh is the first, the weapon does more damage without becoming bigger. Giant form is the second, your weapon is physically bigger because of magic.
sun blade for pathfinder It's a weapon that is a one-handed weapon but treated as a light weapon.
I know the two ways but I get confused about which ones are which xD
So Giant form into a storm Giant and cast Shilleligh and you have a Collosal weapon?
one that damages as collosal, looks like it.
Nifty
So none casters can't do it?
if you want to do anything in this game it requires casters. :P
My build above is technically done with none casters. Barb/fighter and kineticist + wand of lead blades or impact weapon.
You don't need 20 levels:
Medium sized mountain druid 16/titan fighter 1 with a Large impact scythe -> Gargantuan impact scythe (effective damage as Colossal scythe) by becoming a Huge giant with wild shape. For up to 16 hours. Add VMC barbarian on top for more damage.
Titan fighter 1/kineticist 16 with the Kinetic Form utility wild talent and a Large impact nodachi (probably looted from an ogre mage) also works, but for one drawback: "This doesn't change your ability scores in any way." No size bonus to Str.
Ooooo now thats a nifty ass Scythe!
I know you don't need twenty levels ;) just happened to be the thread that got me thinking was about a twenty level casters.
