<p>With only 2 attacks (Cruel weapon only Sickens a Shaken target). 1 attack if you don't care about Sickening (Bladebound Whips can't even get the Cruel Enchantment, so 1 attack for them is sufficient).</p>
<p>Since you Threaten out to 30 feat with Enlarge Person and a whip (40 if you include the Long Arm spell and the Lunge feat) it's pretty easy to lay siege to the battlefield from relative comfort. Anyone getting close to you will provoke MULTIPLE Attacks of Opportunity = more damage.</p>
<p>If you wanted to, you could even add Dazing Metamagic, to stop them from doing anything, and Shatter Defenses, to make them flatfooted against your attacks (perfect for a Kensai, who adds INT to damage against flatfooted targets and gets free EWP and Weapon Focus at 1st level).</p>
<p>It's ungodly feat intensive, and pretty much crumbles against undead or anything else immune to nonlethal damage, but by golly when it works, it's a thing of beauty.</p>
<p>Plus, you can combine your delicious Kensai Superior Reflexes (INT to # of AoOps) with Combat Reflexes + Opportune Parry and Riposte (Flamboyant Arcana, which lets you take Arcane Deed for Precise Strike and Evasive later) and parry every attack the opponent throws at -6 to the roll. It's possible to have everything running as a Kensai by level 13, thanks to some Magus Bonus Feats. Did I mention that's also the level you get access to Greater Bladed Dash? Yeah, life is good for the Whip Magus.</p>
<p>At that point, you are basically untouchable and do a tremendous amount of... </blockquote><p>My PFS character takes that and raises you Brow Gasher, as well as Vampiric Strike in a Spell-Stored Whip, and a new favorite of mine, Riving Strike for another -2 to saves vs spells and spell-like abilities when using Arcane Strike. http://paizo.com/people/FreyaArceanaKaouse wrote:Frostbite spell + Rime Metamagic + Enforcer feat + Cruel Whip =

<p>With Slashing Grace coming out, it means I can immediately dump strength. The focus would be Rimed frostbite + enforcer + a Cruel Whip, in order to lay down fatigue, entangle, shaken, sickened debuffs with 1 attack. </p>
<p>I have not decided where to put my +2 bonus for being human. Should I focus on levelling up Dex for damage, and to hit (in order to lay down the debuffs), or should I focus on increasing Int for more spells. </p>
<p>I am not really going to be using any spells that require saves, except maybe glitter dust. Levelling dex and Int, will increase my AC and initiative, so they effectively cancel each other out.</p>Hey guys, I am bumping this with an updated build and looking for opinions on it, due to the ACG coming out.

Blackened hurts your touch ability for both Erase from Time and Aging Touch. Aasimar + Aging Touch was something I was thinking of too. Just because looking longterm at level 20 you can do 15 strength damage. Is there no saving throw on this ability? That being said while it worst for your build, not always going to have a construct to destroy, and only so few times per day.

13 - Greater Spell Penetration
<br />
15 - Open

17 - Open

5 - Misfortune
<br />
7 - Erase from Time
