Yes yes and triple yes! I've wanting to run on the Midgard world for years now, but all my friends are too used to Pathfinfer/D&D Golarion/Forgotten Realms world's that they don't want to switch. I have all HL files for KP, so in short I answer the call for players.

Lancer from Fate/Zero, I wouldn't recommend. Lancer from Fate/Stay Night is more reasonable and works better in pathfinder.

But well if you want to go Fate/zero what I would do:

-Titan Mauler 2 : you need these levels to actually wield two handed weapons in one hand.

Rest of the levels, go into Polearm Master as it would actually allow you to do all kind of tricks with your spears, such as adjusting their length so you can hit adjacent opponents, making 5-ft step with your opponents.

Now the tragedy:

You are going to need Dexterity, two weapon fighting, and Strength because you are still a melee character. You can boost your strength with rage from titan mauler but you don't have many rounds. You technically don't need to go all the way down on the two weapon fighting tree, as he usually attacks with one of the spears at a time, instead of striking with both. Fighter will give you plenty of bonus feats, Lunge is going to be a must have feat.

With all the penalties, that you will be rocking, Weapon focus, weapon specialization etc...are going to be must have. I would recommend to avoid Power attack, instead focus on feats like Vital Strike and increasing your reach with Lunge.

Eltacolibre - If I go with the fate/stay night build of him how would that work in pathfinder you think?

By the way thanks for all the great advice so far from everybody. I really appreciate it. In the grand scheme of things I might just go single lance build and not have to worry about the off hand penalty or any other ones that were mentioned. Maybe I will throw in a shield and lance build as well. My race of choice was going to be half-orc for this by the way.

I don't know if any of you are familiar with the anime Fate/Zero but in that anime there is a spirit character named Lancer.

As the name would suggest he is a master of spear combat. Looks like he is wearing some form of light armor and wields a long spear in one hand and a shorter one in the off hand.

Inspired by this I was going to build a character like that for the next game I am going to be involved in. It is kind of new territory for me for this kind of build so I wanted to engage the community for build tips and weigh out the pros and cons.


Trigger Loaded I would like to thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for! This is fantastic!

I don't know if anyone in the Pathfinder community would remember this, but I am searching for a description of a certain item. The item in question is best described as a mechanical biped eye. It is small from what I can remember and with a command word it wakes up and four legs come out and it moves around. You can send it to find things and more importantly it can read books (i.e.: spellbooks or otherwise). It can then store whatever it read into its memory and come back to its master. It will then psychically (I think) transfer this information back to its master.

I know it was in an issue of a Dragon magazine, but I don't know the issue and I don't know the exact name of the item. I used it in a game long long time ago hence my memory lapse. Anyone remember this?
