Hi All,

I’m working on a character for my next campaign based on Lord Flashart from Blackadder. If don’t know Blackadder go find the series and watch it STAT. =p

To create this iconic character, I settled on a Cavalier from the Order of the Cockatrice (OotC) with the Dune Drifter (DD) archetype. The OotC was a no brainer and the DD archetype seems like a good fit. Jump in shoot some stuff and yell, WOOF (with pelvic thrust)

In all, I’m happy with the concept. However, I want to make sure I’m not missing something cool or nerfing myself too much in my quest for a bit of fun. Can you guys see any glaring gaps in the stat allocation or feats?

Quick note, I went down the path of using snap shot and improved snap shot to maximize steal glory. I’m concerned that those feats are a bit weak.

Lord Flashart
Human Male
Gunslinger 1 / Dune Drifter Cavalier 12
Order of the Cockatrice

Pinning Knockout

Benefit: While you have an opponent pinned, when you succeed at a grapple combat maneuver check to deal an opponent nonlethal damage using an unarmed strike or a light or one-handed weapon, double your damage result. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is immune to the effects of this feat.

So assume I'm playing a Drow unarmed warrior and I've got some poor sap pinned between my weight lifter sized thighs (strong like bull). Once pinned I decide to use Pinning Knockout, see below:

Successful grapple
- unarmed damage d3+7
- armor spikes d6
- mythic uncanny grapple (crush) d6
- Anaconda's coil (constrict) d6

Do I double just the unarmed damage and add the rest as normal?

Assuming I had all the feats is this order of events possible?

• Unarmed trip (assume improved trip and improved unarmed)
• Attack of Opportunity (AoO) from greater trip
• Ki Throw to move the target to another square
• Vicious stomp (AoO) as they go prone
• Binding throw to start a grapple (swift action)

Does that work?

If I started the combat near the target (move action still available) could I use greater grapple as well? It seems to me that rapid grapple is out because my swift action would have been used on Binding Throw.

It’s a crazy series of events but the feat cost is HIGH.

I'm looking to make a new character to replace one that recently died to a particularly nasty boss (home brew side quest). Our group needs a melee damage dealer with some battle field control (we already have a tank, ranged, healer, and caster). Since we are in Varisia I decided to try a dex based Monk/Brother of the Seal.

So my questions are...

1) can you take weapon finesse in unarmed? I'm pretty sure this one is yes.

2)(assuming #1 is yes) Do I need agile maneuvers to replace str with dex for Awesome Blow (brother of the seal) or Trip combat maneuvers while unarmed?

Hi All,

I’m looking for some advice on a trip/grapple Lore Warden build. In our last campaign my group we had a real problem with the bad guys getting past our front line and causing our casters and healers real problems.

I’m looking to make a fighter than can quickly move in and shut down any of these behind-our-formation shenanigans. As an added bonus it would be great to support the front lines with much needed damage and harass support.

Take a look and help me find the gaps…..

Concept
A demure, and bookish, looking female warrior that packs an unexpected punch (pun?) with a mix of trips and grapples. The goal is to put larger foes on their butts (and/or in a choke hold) through a mix of speed and technique.

Weapons
Cestus for close range
Hooked lance for reach
