For a bastard sword or katana build, half-elf works well. The Ancestral Arms racial trait gets you the weapon proficiency you need and half-elves can choose the elven favored class bonus. For a Hexcrafter, getting +1/6 of an extra magus arcana at every level means you can have two extra hexes by twelfth level.

Neat, thanks! I'm working on making it in YACS right now. We'll see how far i get :p


I'd be flexible by way of other weapons but I'm not really down for a rapier. I'd be looking ideally at the bastard sword with a second option being a katana.


Hey there!
I'm trying to build a Bladebound Hexcrafter to replace a mid level character. I'm considering grabbing EWP and using a bastard sword.

Can anyone help me out with making a build? I'm not familiar with Magus or Hexes.

Thanks!!

You're also forgetting Unlimited Blade Work's Archer in that list... Sorry to budge in... He's my favorite character when it comes to the series (besides Shirou, his Foster Father and Fate/Zero's Berserker though of course). Though Gilgamesh is my favorite Real World Epic character, he kinda comes off as a pompous, arrogant jerk in the anime (which he wasn't described as such in stories and writings related to him), though I'll say he is one powerful jerk.

On the subject of how to do something like that... It's very hard to do in vanilla Pathfinder... If you want a pure wizard to do it and want to start doing stuff like this: Universalist starts with hand of the apprentice (kinda does it... but doesn't do a great job at higher levels), the Creation sub school allows the creation of simple items (but not Gilamesh weapon launches), and spell research... which is basically making spells with your GM that can emulate this as there are very few spells that straight up accomplish it...

If you don't care what class or if its third party or not, I recommend a Soulknife from Dreamscarred Press' psionics books. Though it better emulates Shirou Emiya or Unlimited Blade Works Archer's abilities, it might be able to help out in a pinch, especially if you use the Soulbolt archetype which is the mostly ranged version of the class. Both the normal class and the archetype can get off many attacks later on if leveled correctly, though...

So then would the Soulbolt be able to throw many blades at upper levels? I mean I could consider that class for sure. I'm just wondering how viable it is since I haven't heard of it at all. I want to make sure I don't cripple myself.


This is going to be a hell of a stretch.

I'd like to make a sword flinging wizard like Gilgamesh from (Fate/Zero)

It's something I wanted to do for awhile but I'm unaware of how. Launch Item does not seem to exist in pathfinder, which makes this very hard.

I can't get Telekinesis until a later level, so what do I do here to make this a fun build that won't instantly die?

Thanks! :)
