It looks solid, but Cornugon Smash requires 6 ranks in Intimidate, so you can't take it before level 7. Take Furious Focus at level 3 and Cornugon Smash at 7 and everything will be ok.

I second master_marshmallow. If your GM rules that Necromantic Affinity works with Touch of Corruption (My GM ruled it), then it becomes a very strong choice.

With your Int, Unsanctioned Knowledge is also a strong choice. For example, Windy Escape has saved my ass a lot of times by protecting me against happy-crit paladins.

I am playing Way of the Wicked and we have just hit level 13. My feats are:

Lvl 1: Power attack, Necromantic Affinity (Human)
Lvl 3: Hurtful
Lvl 5: Unsanctioned Knowledge
Lvl 7: Cornugon Smash
Lvl 9: Intimidating Prowess
Lvl 11: Outflank
Lvl 13: Innocent Blood

The important feats here are Power Attack, Hurtful, Cornugon Smash and Intimidating Prowess. Your attack routine would be:

Power attack, free Intimidate roll (Cornugon Smash), Extra attack (Swift action Hurtful), Second Attack (BAB), Third attack (BAB).

You have two attacks if you have to move and four if you can full attack. Buy a Conductive weapon and you can add some extra damage and also debuff the enemy (Paralysis, please!). With intimidate and Aura of Desperation you can apply a -4 to his Saving Throws! (I also have a witch in the party XD)

And that is without applying Smite Good and Profane Bond. So far, no enemy has survived a full attack.

The final boss of the third book (we have just started the fourth one) failed his ST against my cruelty (Paralysis) while he was flying, so he crashed down. The barbarian proceeded to coup-of-grace him.

EDIT: Bonded weapon and you can add some free enchants to your weapon. Unholy can help with DR whenever you are not smiting. Keen and a weapon with good Crit such a Falchion AND smiting is a killer. Nothing survives.

I approve it.

Nonsense.

Granted! I have taken over the radio. Now there will only be songs praising your beloved leader (me). They are still better than the previous ones, though.

I wish for that thing we don't speak of.

Granted! Your new work is... assasin!

In a world where people no longer get sick or hurt, they live for too long, so economy desestabilizes. Limited resources start to disappear too fast. Governments approve financial cuts in education and social wealthcare, but it's not enough. Famine runs rampant. The next step is to approve laws who decide who is worthy of keep living and who is a burden to the state. Government hit squads are the next logical step.
What a beautiful world!

I wish to rule a world like that!

It reminds me of this

The Tyrant archetype is my favourite. LE Antipaladin? Yes, please! Diplomacy instead of ride? Hell, yeah!

I am currently playing Way of the Wicked and I've also selected the Lord of Darkness archetype. It's cool (although 3pp) and fits well with the LE "Tyrant" kind of character.

Don't Say a Word

Sonata Arctica

I prefere to cook a long and slow revenge so I can enjoy it longer. Ah, the pleasure of a good meal!

Moral Standard: Fear is the mind-killer.

I have just learned my lesson.

I feel nothing. What a weak trap. You have no power over me!!!

Lady Audrey Strongshield should not rule this cite because she is not enough Efficient.

On the other hand, I am very Lawful Efficient.

Yes, my witch queen! We have shaved the elves. Now we have a mob of angry bald elves!

Minions! Disperse the mob!

We have brought you this fashionable lock of hair. It was cut from Kileanna the day she went to that goblin hairdressing. It was amazing!

Minions! Take the sky from Sissyl!

Captain Yezzir should not rule this city because he has not enough rank. Serve well and you could get promoted to colonel in a short time.

Eats the Cookie. Yumm!!

Kileanna should not rule this city because she thinks cannibalism should be proscribed. Religious freedom all the way!!

GoatToucher should not rule this city because he doesn't know that you are what you eat.

Granted! Now I, the former second-in command of my incompetent evil leader, am in charge. Things are gonna change and not for better.

I wish for a good rare steak.

GoatToucher should not rule this city because goats would rebel and conquer the world.

Granted! You are now my wife.

I wish to rule forever.

Steve Rogers is a perfect Tyrant Antipaladin. I didn't like him before, but now I am one of his greatest fans. Hail Hydra!

I think that guy hated me. And I deserved it.

You see, every time he tried to derail the story and force the party to act upon it, I came up with the same exact phrase:

"Don't worry. He has signed the same contract as us. If he tries to betray us... well, the contract will kill him before that. Or something worse"

Yes, I knew (both IC and OOC) that the contract wasn't supposed to work that way, but he didn't, so he chickened every time and did nothing. I think that he was just trying to force us to do something stupid and I countered him every time with that phrase. So he hated me.

At the end, after two sessions refusing to even talk IC (and almost OOC) with the other PCs (even with the Fire Wizard!), he was captured and refused to even try to escape. He wanted us to attack the fortress and rescue him. That would have ruined our mission, so we didn't. The Fire Wizard was the only one who wanted, but he couldn't come with any decent plan; the rest of us just didn't even care.

So he quit the game.

Hey, who turned out the lights?

And that's why I always spend some time speaking with my meal. I don't want to eat some random simpleton; it could stick to me.

Moral Standard: Respect those beneath ye.

Definitely, something I've done multiple times.

I just don't get why they keep calling me "Evil". It's all for the greater good, you know!

I collect every loyal pet I find, although they are usually very short-lived.

The next poster, just like my pets, is willing to give his life for his master.

Evilness is in the eye of the beholder.

Moral Standard: Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

8/10 But you have to break some eggs to make an omelette.

Of course! I am going to share all this rare diseases with them! They'll be so grateful!

Moral Standard: You have to be your brother's keeper.

Party Crasher

Tasha, the half-nuisance.

In the same game, we were fighting a barbarian. According the initiative order, the first one was a Dwarf Inquisitor, then the Barbarian enemy and then the rest of the party:

Dwarf: I attack him! I will kill him before the other PCs steal the glory from me!!
GM: Are you sure? You have 1 HP remaining and he looks almost full health. You could step back, heal yourself and go back.
Dwarf: Of course I hit him! I am a dwarf with a powerful dwarven weapon. I am going to crit him and kill him. Because I am a dwarf and dice owe me this!

His weapon was a Dwarven Waraxe (Crit 20/x3). Not magical. Not even masterwork quality. Of course, no buffs or judgements remaining.

GM: Even though you would score a critical hit, he will survive. And he is focusing you.
Dwarf: Dice owe me this! I have not scored a single critical hit in all the game! And this one (looks at me) has already scored two!

My weapon was a Falchion (Crit 18-20/x2).

Dwarf attacks and manages to hit the barbarian. No Critical hit. Barbarian gets angry. Barbarian strikes back. Critical hit. Dwarf dies (he would be dead even though it was not a critical hit).

Dwarf Player: AARRGHHH!! DICE HATE ME!!!!

Smiling Mediator

Nothing half as effective as rats.

I hope so. You made me pay for them!

Rats, a bucket and a torch. My GM likes to call it "Masterwork Intimidate/Torture Tools". I call it "Making friends".

These were NOT unknown enemies, Artephius. These were squirrels. Normal, inoffensive SQUIRRELS.

Next poster knows the difference.
