I am working on a Human Bloodrager (Advanced Classes Guide) with the abyssal blood line to take advantage of the rage claws at lvl 1 (also because abyssal is just nuts compared to the other bloodlines) & I want to optimize unarmed damage.
I have:
lvl 1. Claws (su): 1d6. At lvl 8 they gain 1d6 flaming.
lvl 4. Demonic Bulk (su): +1 size category.
lvl 12 abyssal Bloodrage (ex): which increase strength bonus from blood rage by 2 (4 at lvl 16 & 6 at lvl 20)
Bloodrager Spells:
Enlarge person +1 size category
animal aspect, Gorilla unarmed damage +1 size category
Bull's strength (bloodline bonus lvl 2 spell)
Rage (bloodline bonus lvl 3 spell)
Elemental touch + 1d6 of fire, ice, acid, or shock damage (chose one)
Beast shape II (I'd go with Dire ape)
So if I start as a medium size human use beast shape II to turn in to a dire ape (large) use enlarge person (huge) blood rage with Demonic bulk (gargantuan) then finally use animal aspect, gorilla to give my unarmed damage +1 size, my resulting unarmed damage would be equivalent to that of a colossal ape.
3 questions:
1. Is this how this works, or am I being overly optimistic?
2. Would Feats like Improved unarmed strike & 2WF (unarmed) do anything for this build or do they not apply to natural weapons?
3. Are there any other feats that would further enhance the unarmed DPS of this build?
