Is there a way to get immunity to nauseated, sickened, fatigue, exhausted, shakened or panicked?

I am open to any ideas including items to levels.

I might have to build a ranged dps character for the campaign that I am part of, and was looking at either half-orc or ratfolk for race.

I understand the ratfolk: The alchemist gains +1/6 of a new discovery.

I don't quite understand the half-orc: Add +½ to bomb damage.

Not sure what bonus is stronger, because discoveries are wonderful to have.

I am going grenadier to add ranged dmg with a bow and use the splash weapons to add extra dmg. I will dip 1 lvl into mentalist for more dmg.

Is this prestige class worth it to fully go into?
I am preparing a second character for a campaign if my current one dies. I was looking at doing a natural attack melee alchemist.

I was thinking 2 lvl dip into barbarian archetype Invulnerable or Pugilist.
2 lvls in mutagenic brawler.
1 lvl dip into duel cursed oracle.
7 lvls in alchemist just for getting master chymist.
The rest would be into Master Chymist.

However, is it possible to meet these prerequisites for the master chymist prestige class without taking alchemist levels?

Also do levels from Mutagenic Brawler and Mutagenic Warrior stack with levels from Alchemist for meeting prerequisites for discoveries?

I have read a lot about how a shocking grasp magus is very overpowered. But could you make a bloodrager with the same build.

I was thinking a Urban Bloodrager with crossblood. Then taking the bloodline of either abyssal, sphinx, or draconic.

The idea is to pounce on the enemy and hit with two claw attacks and add shocking grasp to the damage as well. So high mobility would be very helpful as well.

trying to design a barbarian that works around biting and grappling his enemies. goblin is not an available race and was thinking skinwalker with the scaleheart transformation, it fits theatrically and combat tactics wise. I am starting out at level 1 with a 20 point system.

was wondering if there is any suggestion with this idea and input is welcome. I will have the stats of what I was thinking shortly.

Does the initial race of the skinwalker change the stats or racial abilities or is it just affecting the culture and how the skinwalker was raised?

Are the extra racial features like quick change or extra feature actually worth it?

clarification on how the initial racial ability modifies is applied would be very helpful?
"Ability Score Modifiers: Skinwalkers are well attuned to the natural order of things and value passion above reason. They gain +2 Wisdom, –2 Intelligence, and +2 to one physical ability score while shapechanged (1 RP). While in their bestial form, they gain a +2 racial bonus to either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution (see Change Shape). Skinwalkers of specific heritages (see below) gain different ability score modifiers, as indicated."

this is kind of confusing to me?

I know Alzhan has started a post about this character concept in pathfinder. I was thinking that a vexing rogue and the concept behind the songbird of doom. The concept of the songbird of doom by Breq of Toren. I think that I could make a very similar/ potent Styx.

Who is Styx:
Used to be a orc shaman turned into the first goblin, highly intelligent and has a connection to magic.
Styx needs to be able to Grapple really well (he is actually quite muscular and acrobatic for a goblin, so he likely has high STR and DEX), Carry unconscious humans in full-plate as a medium-load. Be proficient with a long-knife (statted as a Gladius or Shortsword most likely), and throwing knives (statted as Daggers most likely). His saliva must be an almost instantly deadly ingested poison. He must be able to cast the following spells spontaneously: Detect Magic (at-will), Vanish and Vomit Twin (3-5 times per day)

i like the concept behind the idea of the songbird of doom, but i would like to use a bladed wpn like the wakizashi or something similar. As Styx uses a bladed wpn to kill enemies. Using high crit range and sneak attack to do my damage. Though in the game he has high str, i am going to focus on dex for dmg, to hit, etc.

When he wants to incapacitate the enemy he usually chokes them out or knocks them out some other way. Was looking at the sap master chain for that method and maybe going down the grapple line with the chokehold feat.

i am not to worried about making clones, i would like to use poison and acids, but the problem is that poisons in pathfinder are very weak and lots of enemies have immunity to poison.

Please let me know what you think of the concept. it is still in the building process and I would like your opinion, been in multiple one-shots testing these concepts that I have been asking about.

I have never built a Gestalt character before and was wanting to try it out. i don't care for magic to much, but i really like the kensia archetype.

Is there a similar archetype or class that mimics the abilities of a Kensia but does not have the magic?

I know Gestalt character are very over powered but some of the build possibilities make it very enjoyable and fun to try.

I want to build the character around critical builds while using a Katana. is there a monk archetype that allows me use the katana as monk weapon or is another class recommended?

i don't have the character mocked up yet, but i will shortly and will post it later.

i have never played a synthesist summoner before and have no idea how the eidolon works. I like the idea behind the synthesist because it gives good back story to the character with a little bit of mystery of the character and his relation to the eidolon. Yes it is kind of like venom, however, i don't have access to: N.Jolly's Symbiotic Slayer in Legendary Games' Villains: Vigilantes book, like The Black Bard suggested so i cannot compare to it.

These three different class dips would be either synthesist plus one other class.

I am trying to build a character around natural attacks and grappling, maybe with choke-holds involved. I know that the barbarian archetype that go well with grappling, feral gnasher. But i thought urban barbarian would be better because then i can still cast spells.

I also thought that a couple lvl dip in brawler strangler would be good to get the bonus to grappling and adding some sneak attack.

Or should i dip into monk and get the bonus to AC through my high wisdom and being unarmored.

I noticed that the eidolon lvls up like the class does, so the more lvls the stronger, but would those stack better with other classes. Also when the eidolon gets new evolution points, do those add to the current amount of evolutions or do you have to select new evolutions.

The eidolon cannot wear armor correct, if that is the case, then a dip into monk would help out the AC of the character greatly. That and the magic item monks belt to make him a little stronger as well.

Is there a way to make the blast and dmg bigger for the alchemist bomb? Ex: bigger size catagory, specific feats, spells, extracts, ext.

So i thought of an char idea that we be based around knocking opponents out with non-lethal dmg if possible. I really like the idea of a grappler who overpowers his enemy and knocks them out cold through a chokehold or suffocation.
This char concept would be played in a setting kind of like Skull and Shackles, where there is more humanoids and lot less monsters that are immune to nonlethal dmg. So this concept work well and would also allow for a very good back story to play out.
i know this is very generic, but I want to see if I can hash this out to work properly and make it a lot of fun.
I like the Feral Gnasher build but, was thinking that maybe the deepwater rager would fit my idea better.
i will be taking the all the necessary grappling feats along with chokehold.
I will dip two lvls into the brawler archetype, strangler, to get the sneak attack and the other bonuses from grappling. Than with getting the ninja trick, pressure points to help, if possible.
Maybe 3 level dip in horizon walker to get immunity to fatigue and exhaustion.
The barbarian rage powers, I will go with the Hive Totem line. with animal fury, ghost rager, penetrating bite, etc.
Though maybe focusing on my bite might not be the best idea?
Though can a natural attack due non-lethal dmg without taking a -4 penalty to attack?
Or should I think about going into alchemist?

So I have seen a lot of different character builds from different TV shows and movies. i was wondering if it is possible to make Embo, the bounty hunter from Star Wars, the clone wars.
He is a high martial arts fighter, fast, very acrobatic, throws his shield hat as a weapon, and has a bowcaster.

If I am using a large double hackbut, what is the dmg output. I know it starts at 2d12, but I cant find anything that will tell me what it scales up to.

I am building a feral gnasher that is going to be a med. Sized creature with high dex. It's a homebrew creature that grants a +4 dex, and +2 int bonus.
Haven't got stats yet but we are using 25 point by system.
This for a lvl 13 char build.
2 levels in slayer for the rogue talent?
So that I can take the ninja trick, pressure points, because the strangler archtype allows me to flank while grappling.
1 level in brawler, strangler archtype; maybe 2 levels?
For 9 levels in feral gnasher barbarian, maybe 10? If I do take the 10th level it will be for the rage power that gets me pounce.
I know for sure I will be taking the feats:
Acrobatic maneuvers
Improved grapple
Greater grapple
Rapid grapple
Combat reflexes

Trying to figure out what feats and equipment will be useful?

i want to build an archer that is more around battlefield support with tripping, disarming, grappling. But yet has full BAB and decent damage.

using feats like, ranged trickshot, improved trip, improved disarm, point blank shot, manyshot, precise shot, etc..

I was think of multi-classing in Fighter, Slayer. To get that bonus to attack and damage.

does anyone know if the monk of the four elements from 5e exist in pathfinder. I haven't seen anything in the srd, but was wondering if there is anything out there in other books.

Halfling Male
Name: Sebastian Moran
Size: Halflings are Small creatures and gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –1 penalty to their CMB and CMD, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth checks.
Racial Traits:
Fearless
Fleet of Foot
Underfoot
Weapon Familiarity
Fey Magic

Class : Sorcerer (levels 2)
Archetype: Tattooed Sorceror
Bloodline: Bronze Dragon
Magus (Levels 1)
Archtype: Eldrich Archer or Armored Battlemage

Traits
Magical Lineage ( Shocking Grasp)
Reactionary

Feats
Weapon Finesse
Weapon Focus (Natural)
Combat Casting
Improved Spell Penetration
Intensified Spell
Improved initiative
Precise shot
Point blank shot

This is the base Idea I am going for the next character I play in a pathfinder campaign. I know I am going to be a one trick pony a little bit with shocking grasp in the beginning but will be able to alter that spell and other spells later on. I plan on building this char to level 20. So any suggestions on other feats that I should take would be helpful.

The thing that I am struggling with is that I don’t know if I want to stick with Halfling or go Elf?
With these traits:
Elven Immunities
Dragon Magic
Blended View
Elven Magic
Weapon Familiarty

I also don’t know if there is a better selection of traits that might help me out better?

Any suggestions on what prestige class I should build towards or should I just stick with these two classes?

Was wondering if the Peltist was a legitimate class to take?

Also can a compound bow have more than a +5 strength bonus?

Does anyone know if improved raid shot exists in pathfinder, or is it just a dnd 3.5 thing?

my char is small size, and if he uses medium size wpns that is a negative 2 to his attack correct?

Also a spear sling says: treated as a projectile weapon instead of a thrown weapon, increasing its maximum range and allowing it to be used underwater...

But I don't know what the range of the wpn is now. Is it the normal 5x the regular range increment of 20 feet to max of 100 feet or is it farther.

I am joining a goblin campaign and we are starting at lvl 2. I would like peoples opinion on my idea of taking the Feral Gnasher and Alchemist and turning him into a fun grappler using Gobo Horde idea with Divvox2 and Scott Wilhelm magic item uses to make him more fun. Also Ed-Zero for a basic spell list of potions and items that I might be able to utilize.
I know I will be using at least 2 lvls in brawler with the archtype strangler(maybe) because keeping my dex bonus to AC is helpful along with the considered flanking when grappling to add a little sneak attack dmg. I don’t know if I will continue with more lvls in brawler.
I will take some lvls in alchemist both for storyline flavor and for the uses of the mutagens and alchemical potions I can make. Not sure if I am going to go with 12 lvls or less. But I will have a minimum of 6 levels.
With Feral Gnasher barbarian I will be taking a minimum of 6 lvls, I might go up to 9 lvls because that greater lockjaw is nice.
I don’t know if looking into any lvls in rogue to help stack my sneak attack dmg is going to be worth it?

Brawler 2
Strangle (Ex)
At 1st level, a strangler deals +1d6 sneak attack damage whenever she succeeds at a grapple check to damage or pin an opponent. The strangler is always considered flankingher target for the purpose of using this ability. This damage increases by +1d6 at 2nd, 8th and 15th levels.
This ability replaces unarmed strike and brawler’s flurry.
Practiced Strangler (Ex)
At 2nd level, when a strangler has the grappled condition, she does not take a –4 penalty to Dexterity and does not lose her Dexterity bonus to AC. At 9th level, a grappling or grappled strangler still threatens an area and is still able to make attacks of opportunity while grappling or grappled; when pinned, she is not denied her Dexterity bonus and does not take a –4 penalty to Armor Class.
This ability replaces AC bonus.

Barbarian
A feral gnasher has the following class features:
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A feral gnasher loses all martial weapon proficiencies except for greatclub and loses proficiency with medium armor.
Savage Bite (Ex)
At 1st level, a feral gnasher gains a savage bite attack. This is a primary natural attack that deals 1d4 points of damage. If the goblin already has the hard head, big teeth racial trait, the damage increases to 1d6. At 10th level, the damage from a feral gnasher’s bite increases to 1d6 (or 1d8 if the goblin has the hard head, big teeth racial trait) and deals ×3 damage on a critical hit.
This ability replaces fast movement.
Impromptu Armament (Ex)
At 2nd level, a feral gnasher gains Throw Anything as a bonus feat and can pick up an unattended object that can be wielded in one hand as a free action. Additionally, the feral gnasher can take Catch Off-Guard in place of a rage power.
This ability replaces the rage power gained at second level.
Lockjaw (Ex)
At 3rd level, a feral gnasher gains the grab ability with her bite attack. A feral gnasher can use this ability on a creature up to one size category larger than she is. This replaces trap sense +1.
Improvised Weapon Mastery (Ex)
At 5th level, a feral gnasher gains Improvised Weapon Mastery as a bonus feat.
This ability replaces improved uncanny dodge.
Improved Lockjaw (Ex)
At 6th level, as long as a feral gnasher is controlling the grapple with her lockjaw attack, she does not gain the grappled condition, but is unable to move or use her mouth for anything other than grappling.
This ability replaces trap sense +2.
Greater Lockjaw (Ex)
At 9th level and again at 15th level, the size of a creature a feral gnasher is able to use her lockjaw’s grab ability on increases by one size increment.
This ability replaces trap sense +3 and trap sense +5.
Wicked Improvisation (Ex)
At 12th level, a feral gnasher becomes more capable with improvised weapons and natural attacks. The feral gnasher gains a +1 competence bonus on damage rolls when using natural attacks or improvised weapons while raging. At 14th level and every two levels thereafter, the damage bonus increases by +1. This increase is not precision damage and is thus multiplied on a critical hit.
This ability replaces trap sense +4.

Rage Powers
Hive totem
Hive totem resilience
Hive Totem toxicity
Greater animal Fury
Bloody bite
Animal fury

Feats
Improved grappler
Greater grapple
Improved initiative
Jawbreaker
Bonebreaker
Neckbreaker
Kraken style
Improved nat wpn
Rapid grappler

Traits
Bred For War

Scott Wilhelm
I can think of a few.
Armbands of the Brawler 500gp, +1CMB
Brawler Armor Enchantment +1 equivalent, +2CMB
Gauntlets of the Skilled Maneuver: 4000gp, +2CMB
Cracked, Pale Green Prism Ioun Stone, 5000gp, +1 all attack rolls
Belt of Dexterity: 4000gp for +2 Dex
Robe of Infinite Twine, 1000gp, because your goal as a Grappler should not be to inflict damage, but to Tie opponents Up.
Now for some Feats and Class Abilities.
There is Weapon Focus Grapple, of course.

Take 4 levels in Alchemist.
At level 2, grow a Tentacle: +4 on all Grapple Checks.
At level 4, get a King Crab Tumor Familiar: +2 on grapple checks, and you can play a really neat defensive trick if you are interested.
At level 1, you get Mutagens. A Dex Mutagen will give you a +4 Dex, a +2 Natural Armor Bonus (and -2 Wisdom) for 10 minutes which will stack with a Belt of Dexterity.
As a Drunken Master, you can take mutagens and extracts without provoking attacks of opportunity, but you really want to take the Potion Glutton Feat. This will let you drink any potable as a Swift Action, and Mutagens and Extracts are potable! Now I will tell you what your favorite Extract is:
True Strike: +20 on your attack roll! Normally, you need a Standard Action to take/cast True Strike, and you can still take a Standard Action, but with Potion Glutton, you can pop your extract as a Swift Action. So you might cast True Strike on yourself (I like Wands.) on round 1 and Move up to your opponent. Then the next round, you Initiate a Grapple at an extra +20 (making your CMB +50 pretty soon if you follow my advice) as a Standard Action, pop your Extract of True Strike as a Swift Action, then Tie Up your Opponent as a Move Action.
You will have about a 91% chance of taking out anything smaller than a Balor Demon in 1 round. You could have been doing that by level 9.
The Lore Warden Fighter Archetype is pretty good for Grappling, too.

Divvox2
As for getting the CMB up...
-BAB +13
-Dex +7
-Brawling armor +2
-Dusty rose prism + Wayfinder +2 untyped
-Pale Green, cracked +1
-Thorny Violet Ioun Stone +2
-Improved Grappling +2
-Greater Grappling +2
-Gauntlets of the Maneuver +2 (not weapons, don't impact your damage)
-Adhesive armor quality +2
That gets you to 35. If you were a brawler you would have another +3 from the class maneuver training ability.
I should note that at this point things start getting shenanigans that make grapple useless or dangerous like rings of Freedom of Movement (steal/sunder maneuver!), the ability to *bamf* into gaseous clouds, teleportation abilities, shapechanging shenanigans, and horrible on-contact abilities. So don't be surprised if your GM starts thumbing their nose at you with vampires, chaos beasts, and savvy wizards.
Then again, a buddy of mine bashed a vampire over the head with a bookshelf that was in the room (fully PFS legal rules/feats) for ~30 damage, then chucked it at him as a touch attack, using his strength instead of dex, for another 40 damage. IMO that wins out.

Gobo Horde
Alright now onto the meat of the post. A melee feral gnasher can still do decent damage and can still be quite viable, but I think you guys are looking at it wrong. This is only my opinion and as not to sound snooty let me try and preswade you.
There are three big things that I would like you to think about The first one is how you do your damage, the second one is what totem you use and the third is how much damage you can do.
If you try and build a standard natural attacking barbarian, you will always be behind in damage from the loss of 4 points in str and because you cannot wield weapons well since you lose your martial weapon proficiencies. So if you cannot be a standard barbarian, try something else. I would suggest you look at grappling as the solution. The archetype has alot of things going for a grappler, namely she gains the grab ability with her bite, so can start grapples as free actions and gains a +4 to grapple checks witch is really nice. She can also use them on creatures larger than she normally could and this can get past the one of the big problems with grappling. At level 6 she does not gain the grappled condition when she controls the grapple. This is huge and is normally worth a -20 penalty! This means you do not take a -4 to your dex, you do not take a -2 to your attack rolls and CM checks, and you can still take Aoo's and your hands are free to do other things. Lastly you gain competence bonuses to your natural attacks that helps in grapples as well. So since half of the archetype focuses on grappling why not stick with it?
Now my second point is in regards to rage powers. Keeping in mind that you loose your first rage power (witch really sucks D:) so you will always be behind a standard barbarian in those terms as well. The main draw of beast totem that barbarians like so much is pounce so you can attack multiple times at the end of a charge and gain your damage that way. I say this is a trap! Yes you heard me a TRAP! You are still reading and havent brushed me off as insane yet? Ok good. Remember how you are suboptimal at the normal attacking barbarian? if you try and follow the normal while being less good at it, you will always be a suboptimal normal barbarian.
If you are going the route of the grappler beast totem is even less desired as it offers you nothing of value. During a grapple you can only attack with one weapon at a time and so having 2 extra claws wont up your damage. Since grappling takes a move action at the least (if you have greater grapple) you can never full attack while grappling eather so that is out as well. And is there really any benefit to charging when you can just walk up to the target and start the grapple with a standard attack? The only benefit you gain out of the chain is the improved armour and that is often considered the tax! Worst, it prevents you from taking the hive totem chain which is what I WOULD recommend you take.
Often overlooked at and considered gimmicky, there is actually alot of gold in the Hive Totem chain. Hive totem grants you +1-5 to all your str ability checks which grappling is, and adds to your CMD against some maneuvers. Hive resilience grants you a further +1-5 to your CMB and CMD when you grapple and they are untyped so stack with everything. Hive toxicity really is just gravy and you can skip it if you want to. It does increase your bite damage however. What it does, is increase your animal fury bite damage and lowers the penalties for using it with weapons, but since you have your lockjaw bite that is just as strong and has other benefits going for it (grab ect) this is useless to you. It does grant you a scaling toxic bite that gets more powerful the more con you have, and since you have large amounts of con from rage can be hard to resist. Again, you can skip it if you want as you can get what you want as early as lvl 6, almost half the amount of time as beast totem! This is great since it is so front loaded as well. The best part of the whole chain is its prerequisite, animal fury, you get your capstone first!
Let me explain, animal fury does 3 things, first it gives you a bite that is weaker than your lockjaw, so ignore that part. second it allows you to make a bite attack as part of the action to maintain a grapple that happens before the grapple check is made. This is the golden part! Third, if you do damage, it makes it easier to make that grapple check. why this is so good is that you can bite to inniate the grapple, then bite with animal fury to improve your grapple chances, then bite again as the result of maintaining the grapple. here is where your damage comes from. Just remember that you lose your first rage power, so to get this as early as possible you would have to spend a feat.
Lastly I want to talk about your damage. If you have your bite and 2 claws, each does str damage, if you try and wield weapons, that gets cut in half and you loose out on the corresponding limb. But if you only have a single natural attack, it gets 1 1/2 str. Remember above how grab and animal fury can grant you extra attacks in a turn? you now get a higher str ratio on all your attacks and can actually do more attacks than you could with a natural attack pouncer. You start out a little slower but still faster than the normal progression, you get 1 attack at lvl 1 and 2, at 3rd you gain lockjaw so you can attack twice, a normal attack and a free grapple. at lvl 4 you gain animal fury and your attack progression looks like this; move up to the target, attack with bite and start a grapple, gain free animal fury bite, then bite as a result of the grapple. Thats 3 attacks at lvl 4 that can be done in a single standard action. when you get greater grapple at lvl 7, it stays the same as lvl 4 but gets better on subsequent turns looking like this; move action to maintain grapple, free animal fury bite, normal grapple bite. Second move action maintain grappler, free animal fury bite, normal grapple bite. When you get rapid grappler you add 2 attacks to both sets for 5 attacks while moving and 6 attacks while standing still.
So as you can see, it can still be quite viable and I would suggest building a grappler feral gnasher. At higher levels you can gain access to things like body bludgeon and giant hide armour, as well as things like energy eruption and noxious bite (a monster feat btw). I hope the post wasnt to long as it did turn into a wall of text, But I really like this archetype and kinda rambled on.

As for the number of attacks, you actually bite with animal fury 3 times. I will run 3 senarios to demonstrate how this works.
#1) you start apart from your target.
Move action to close to your target, standard to attack 1st bite, free grapple attempt because of grab and animal fury procs 2nd bite, do damage to maintain the grapple 3rd bite, rapid grappler activates granting a second animal fury 4th bite, and finally do damage to maintain the grapple 5th bite.
5 bites off of a standard and a swift action, no pounce.
#2) you already grappled last turn and are currently in the grapple.
move action to maintain the grapple, animal fury procs 1st bite, do damage to maintain the grapple 2nd bite, move action to maintain the grapple, animal fury procs 3rd bite, do damage to maintain the grapple 4th bite, swift action to maintain the grapple, animal fury procs 5th bite, do damage to maintain the grapple 6th bite.
6 bites if you are already inside the grapple.
#3) you are beside the target but not in a grapple.
standard action to attack your target 1st bite, free grapple attempt because of grab, animal fury procs 2nd bite, do damage to maintain the grapple 3rd bite, move action to maintain the grapple, animal fury procs 4th bite, do damage to maintain the grapple 5th bite, swift action to maintain the grapple, animal fury procs 6th bite, do damage to maintain the grapple 7th bite.
7 bites when someone else would full attack, I did not include this one as it should be rare.

Ed-Zero
Remembered the spell Strong Jaws that increases your die damage by two steps. It's trivial enough to make a custom item that gives it permanently.
-Strong Jaws spell- two size categories
-Enlarge person spell - one size category
-Righteous Might spell - one size category
-Divine Vessel - one size category
-Monks Robe - one size category
-Improved Natural Attack - one size category (i think)
-Improved damage from eidolon - one size category
-Amulet of Natural Attacks
-Enchant your chompers with Fire, Sonic, whatever else you want to do
-Get some form of permanent haste for an extra bite attack
There is another spell that also increases die steps by one but I can't remember what it is right now.
With these, it doesn't matter how small your bite damage is, you're going to be doing colossal damage with it, which will be massive. Of course, if you want to opt of the spells that make you bigger...
Strong Jaws - 2
Monks Robe - 1
INA - 1
Eidolon - 1

I am in a goblin campaign and was trying to make a skirmisher that would deal lots of dmg and still stay out of combat range. Starting lvl is 2, but i would like to see how i could progress this to higher lvl.

I dont have the stats yet(we use a d6 roll system)

Classes:
Ranger: X
Scout: 4
Rogue/Ninja:
gunslinger bolt ace: 5
DM allowed me to use bows instead of crossbows only
zen archer: 1 (for flurry of blows)

Feats:
vital strike
improved vs
greater vs
precise shot
point blank shot
manyshot
rapidshot

My DM allowed me to use this feat from 3.5:
swift hunter: Benefit: Your ranger and scout levels stack for the purpose of determining the extra damage and bonus to Armor Class granted when skirmishing. For example, a 4th-level scout/1st-level ranger would deal an extra 2d6 points of damage and gain a +1 competence bonus to AC when skirmishing, as if she were a 5th-level scout.
Your ranger and scout levels also stack for the purpose of determining when you select additional favored enemies, as well as the total bonus granted against your favored enemies. For example, a 4th-level scout/1st-level ranger would have two favored enemies and could allocate an extra +2 bonus against one of those favored enemies, as if she were a 5th-level ranger.
In addition, your skirmish extra damage applies against any creature you have selected as a favored enemy, even if it is normally immune to extra damage from critical hits or skirmish attacks.

Or would going with a thrown weapon be better.
Any other suggestions would be very helpful.

I was wondering if it is even worth looking it trying to make a rogue that works more around nonlethal dmg with the feat sap master?

Also is it possible to utilize the jawbreaker treeline of feats, and any other feats that allow me to do dmg while grappling?

I thought maybe trying to use these ideas would give some new flavor to trying out rogues or monks in a different way than normal. Not sure if it is worth looking into. Any thoughts?

Is there a feat that allows some class progression while taking a different class?

I know that there was two different feats in 3.5 that allowed that,
example:

tashalatora monk: Benefit: Your levels in the psionic class you selected for Monastic Training stack with your monk levels to determine your AC bonus, flurry of blows attacks, and unarmed damage from the monk class.

swift hunter: Benefit: Your ranger and scout levels stack for the purpose of determining the extra damage and bonus to Armor Class granted when skirmishing. For example, a 4th-level scout/1st-level ranger would deal an extra 2d6 points of damage and gain a +1 competence bonus to AC when skirmishing, as if she were a 5th-level scout.
Your ranger and scout levels also stack for the purpose of determining when you select additional favored enemies, as well as the total bonus granted against your favored enemies. For example, a 4th-level scout/1st-level ranger would have two favored enemies and could allocate an extra +2 bonus against one of those favored enemies, as if she were a 5th-level ranger.
In addition, your skirmish extra damage applies against any creature you have selected as a favored enemy, even if it is normally immune to extra damage from critical hits or skirmish attacks.

Wanted to make a Goblin Alchemist who would be riding a mount to do hit an run tactics. I am not sure what the mount is going to be yet, don't know if I want a flying mount or a fast ground mount.

I wanted him to either throw a bomb attached to a spear. Thinking that I could get both spear dmg and bomb dmg.

Or throw a spear syringe with a poison cotangent in it infused with a bomb for dmg. (would vital strike work with this, being added to the spear dmg?)

His stats are
Str: 16
Dex: 20
Con: 16
Int: 18
Wis: 14
Cha: 12

I was wondering can vital strike be used with an alchemist bomb in anyway?

i was trying to think of a way to make one of those explosive spear throwers from mad max.

Definitely need levels in alchemist:

But other than that i was thinking maybe fighter, ninja, unchained monk archetype, unchained rogue archetype. I am really not sure where to go from there.

Any help would be much appreciated, also starting level is 4 and I would like to build this character to epic if possible.

I know that Pathfinder Society has a list of races that you can choose from, but for some reason i am not able to locate it. Could someone please either direct me to its location or just give me the list for future knowledge.
Also are Psychic abilities now allowed in pathfinder society as well?

Is Path of War part of the Pathfinder Society or is it something that the pathfinder SRD just added?

Can vital strike be used with ranged weapons like crossbow, bow, musket, etc.

Because i am build in a character in a campaign that is using a heavy repeating crossbow and was hoping to use the vital strike feats for extra dmg.

I was trying to build a sniper around the idea of ,Cairn the longshot from Trigun.
I was going to use 5 lvls of Gunslinger; musket master,
than take rogue 6 lvls, sniper archetype with gives me the +10 feet for sneak attack per 3 lvls, than take rogue talents and use ninja trick talent and use all three talents on deadly range will add 30 ft to my sneak attack to a total of 80 feet. Than with the distance magic on my musket plus the musket master ability it would make the first range increment 100 ft.
My feat selection would be, point blank shot, precise shot, improved precise shot, rapid shot for sure
maybe wpn focus, snap shot, snap shot improved, and improved initiative

what do you think of this idea.

I am trying to make a Grammaton Cleric from the movie ,Equilibrium, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to build that as a playable character in the pathfinder society.

My thought was using a Gunslinger, pistolero, and than taking some monk or ninja levels. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
