You can get 6 scorching rays(SR + quickened SR) off at level 11 and still have a move action left over. All of those rays hit at full BAB + dex + bonuses vs touch AC.
A two handed Fighter will at 12th level receives three attacks per round. The damage will be 2d6(Greatsword)+9(STR)+4(Weapon Spec)+4(Weapon Training w/ Gloves of Dueling)+9(Power Attack)+3(Weapon Enhancement) for a total of 36 average damage per attack.

Just to support your statement, the 2 weapon fighter will do more than that once the archetype is considered and we haven't even gotten to buffs. With my standard load by round 3 my 11th level Bardiche fighter is inflicting 2d8+36 and the same buffs would only bring you up to 4d6+8.

If you wanted to abuse, you should have gone with lengthy acid waves that are ray attacks.

here I thought Varisia was pretty iconic.

Wouldn't you actually be referring to Golarion?

By Iconic, I actually mean long-established. I grew up on Greyhawk, people a few years behind me grew up on the Forgotten Realms, it takes a while to earn that kind of gravitas. I just expect that many folks will continue to use the Realms, or Greyhawk, or whatever they are used to.

None of this has anything to do with the quality of the Golarion setting, just observing that this will be commonplace.


Given that Pathfinder lacks its own iconic setting (so far at least, heres hoping for Absalom), I'd have to think that using Pathfinder for Eberron / Forgotten Realms / whatever else, is going to be a popular choice for folks that don't like 4E, don't want to bother with conversion, or just plain want to use all the books they already bought.
