About Kazmere Lillywag
Tall and broad shouldered Farg is rather imposing, his massive tusks and oddly shaped horns as well as the dark sheen of fur that covers his face and body indicate his orcish and fiendish heritage.
The list above was not so much a build as outlining the different options available to the Charisma 20 people among us. The absurdest of all of those undoubtedly being a single feat that lets you use charisma for attack and damage for both melee and ranged attacks with an admittedly non-optimal weapon without any further (non-fluff) prerequisites.
Imo it is unbalanced for two reasons:
It makes it super easy to splash combat competency into CHA based casters. Let's take a first level oracle with the Sidestep revelation and this feat. Assign his 20 point buy like so: STR 10 DEX 7 CON 14 INT 12 WIS 10 CHA 20. With a heavy shield and his or her trusty starknife this character has an AC of 20 (in light armor...), after casting divine favor deals damage almost like a full martial and can pull all that off while still maxing out his casting stat. Take one more level and you can also boss skills with your inspiration pool. Why should one character be able to do all those things when others have to make sacrifices to get their point buy right?
It makes Charisma the best stat for thrown weapon characters. While this is a niche concept, the main reason why this has been the case was that you needed a ton of feats and had to invest in both DEX and STR (unless you invested in pricy items which aren't accessible for most of your career i.e. belt of might hurling or agile daggers). Further boosting damage via precise strike (from flying blade) and or Startoss style makes this a competive build now. Oh and that problem that you had to decide between a stat bump item and the essential blink back belt. A wash as your attack and damage is handily enhanced by a headband...
Considering how much effort Paizo has invested in nerfing the hell out of Slashing Grace it strikes me as plenty naive to print this feat.
