I want to craft a Magical Gun Man who uses is arcane energy as Power for his To Guns

Im just not sure what class to take

I want him to dual wield and be a good mix of martial classes for good BAB but still be able to have a strong caster level for arcane Strike and spell cartridges

I assume the simple answer is Magus but was wondering if there was any other 2/3 BAB class i could have him be

Simple question dose having the former allow a character to take latter?

looking to have a few non standard arrow options

I have regular steel Arrow
Mithril arrows
Cold Iron Arrows

but any that do anything besides damage ?

Do they interact Or would they not work together?
I Don't know and Don't want to invest toward this if they do not.

looking at doing a Half orc Brawler who uses Stuff like shield slam and spike destroyer as His Main combat tactic. I want him two be able to shield bash and and bullrush allowing for stuff like spike Destroyer to come in to play.

Id be looking at a level 7 build but I'm not sure of my feat my progression.

What do I need to take for my character to be able to get Dex to His CMB in place of Strength.

The weaponn in question is Shang gou or Hook Swords
The Maneuver is the Disarming combat maneuver

Would taking weapon Finesse be enough for it or Dose it require something else?

I found that Hook Swords are a thing in 5e, named Shang Gou .

Id like to build a martial who uses them effectively to Disarm his foes and Either get in Sneak Attack or AoOs .

I am thinking either

A Brawler if I can Brawler Flurry with them and use unarmed strikes via kicks
B Fighter just do to the number of feats
C Slayer due being able to get Two weapon Fighting feats easily and sneak attack
D Unchained monk

Looking play a Elfish character who is a young war veteran and aims to improve his Skills to Near Divine Status. He Barely survived the war and dose not want to feel weak or be in a position where his lack of skill or battle ability put others at risk.

He wants to be able to face any Non_Magical foe with no fear and even be a threat to all but the most seasoned males.

I'm looking to Build a Dex Based Swords man .
I am however unsure of a few things

Should I focus on Two handing with a Elven curve blade or would using a elven thorn and leaf blade be doable.

Should I try for a powder attack or sneak attack build .

I like some actual SwordsmanShip and not just wak the enemies with my sword.

I would prefer grace & style with technique over brute strength and power

Been really wanting to play a Weapon and Shield user and I know I recently made a post about doing A Viking (Fighter) but I've realized two of my past 3 characters have been fighters and then I though slayer might work.

My feat list is based on if I'm Human But I'd like to see if playing a non-Human woukd be doable

LV1: WF Earth Breaker
LV1: WF Klarc
LV2: TWF / Slayer Talent
LV3: Thunder and Fang
Lv4: Slayer Talent / Combat Trick =???
LV5 ???
LV6 Shield Master
LV7 ???

Need to fill in the gap in my feat list
I'd also like to try and Play non Human Race but not sure what one

Ok so I just found the Viking Archetype for Fighter and I like it

Problem is I can see my character being Either a Half Orc or Dwarf
And going either toward and intimidation style build mostly cause of the (Fearsome) feature or a sword and Board style with a strong good 1 handed Axe war-Axe or battle Axe and a shield (Doing Shield Bashes and stuff

So what would work better for a feat set up

Intimidation
1: WF - Battle-axe / War-Axe
1: Shield focus
2: Dazzling display
3: intimating Prowess
4: Weapon spec
5: Hurtful
6 Shatter Defense
7 ??? Not sure

Or sword (Axe) and Board
1 WF Battle-axe / War-Axe
1 Shield focus
2 Improved Shield Bash
3 power Attack
4 Stumbling Bash
5 TWF
6 Shield Slam
7 Weapon Spec

I've been itching to play a Strong and Agile Warrior who efficiently and effectively wields a pair of Axes. I had originally wanted to wield a pair of Battle Axes but soon realized it be like wielding a pair of longswords and that it be easier to wield a pair of hand Axes as they are basically what short- Swords or to long Swords but for Axes and still invoke the image I want for my character.

I am Stuck between Choosing Slayer or Brawler

I want some out of combat utility but I also want incombat utility such as Disarm and sunder and maybe even the ability to Trip. Damage is important but not to point of giving up all utility

Race can be any though I'd like to avoid that if doable , just Been getting a little bland playing human after human ?

I see my charactercas strong and fit but very Agile as well
For mental stats I see if as being mostly average with a bit of wisdom from being seasoned Warrior. I view him as being middle age he's not a newcomer to the ways of combat

I understand Dragons are very powerful and have well earn there reputation

I'd like to see what my classes options are.

I've recently retired a human fighter (used Archery) but for about 3 missions felt uses cause I could not hit the targets there Ac was stupid high (48+) and one was cause the dragon created a blizzard

I`D like to pay a Anti-Dragon swordsmen / Knight

I think there is a paladin for this.
If there is. What feats would be recommend?

I have wealth of a 10th level character and am planning to buy a Heavy Cross bow with uo to +3 Bonus

I know just going the +3 can be good but was wondering if there is any note worthy + 1 or 2 Enchantment I could pick.

Are main enemies are Dragons and Demon's
I know I could go holy but am not really feeling it

STATS are what they are I can not switch them

15 INT / Race +2 = 17
14 Con
13 Dex / Race +2 = 15
12 WIS
10 STR
8 CHA / Race -2 Lmao = 6

Need Advice on my first 3 Feats and first two Discoveries

I could also use advice on My nartual attack
As I would like to Eventually Rend with my Claws

I know Beast Totem (Greater Beast Totem) will be patircuarlly good cause of Pounce

I am starting a level 3 but could I get advice on my first 10 levels?

I have a level 3 Barbarian I'll be playing and I am unsure of what feats and rage powers I should take for the first 5 levels (planning too levels Ahead)

I am only starting with 12 STR so i sadly Don't quallfy for power Attack, My normal go to for Barbarians

Any Advice on my first 3 feats

Also Iam torn between Reckless Abandon and Superstitious what would be better

I have 19 Ac and 1 DR with resistance 5 Fire cold and electric

But not sure if I'll need more to hit, I can boost my STR to 18.

Planning on a Great Axe for a weapon .

Planning on playing a 3rd party class that comes with the feature Jotungrip and I'd like some input on what weapon I should wield and how I plan this Character out.

The class is Oni. From Of Stranger Bonds

I get a lot Barbarian Features

I know a club /spiked club is classic oni but I want too get some fun ideas

Sadly my strength is a Fearsome 12 so I don't even get to take power Attack yet

But any interesting idea for a weapon I can use with Jotungrip? Pazio and 3pp allowed

In this game we are playing Are selfs. Or as close to as possible as if we been transported to a fantasy world.

Well we are meeting this Saturday to discuss are stats.

I do know we are using this spread

15
14
13
12
10
8

Being now or us are very strong we mostly don't think any of us would be a full martial
except maybe me and only cause I have a temper that might make a very sad excuse for a Barbarian

But with those stats would would be possible
I know it's vague but I want to get and idea for what I could possibly pull off with "my" stats

Can some one explain to me what I'd get out off Look out on a inqusitor I'm building
I want to know if it be worth taking

Archery build BTW

I'd like Advice on my rage powers and my Feate

I know power Attack Should be one I Grab ASAP but I'm not sure my other feats or my rage powers

I tend to be a walking Juggernaut style character who swings around an earth breaker

Has to be human cause where suppose to be playing are selfs

I'm locked in To playing a Barbarian and want to play a person who breaks down doors , sunder stuff, be very Destructive.

I was wondering what my options where

For feats , archetype and rage powers

Planning on using an earth breaker as my weapon

Not sure class but want a pure Martial no magic out side of his equipment

Two handed or crit fisher would ever yields more Damage over all

Good Initiative and a Bump to speed To close the distance between him and his foes

This can be a Multi class character.

I'd like his saves to be decent (Maybe Half Orc for the tattoo)

Weapon Thinking something I cab two hand or A good crit weapon

Anything Else to make him efficient killer

I want to play a character that uses a polearm effectively and Dose more than just wack his foes with a long sick. Be a proactive Defender type. I'm just not sure what class at mid levels would be best.

Basically I'm trying to figure out if there are any classes who Features from either the main class or an Archtype would complement a polearm user.

Also for class I'd like to stay purely martial

A Tall Figure, Covered from Head To Toe in jet Black Full Plate , Topped with a Horned Helm
A flowing Dark Azure cape Billows in The wind. In his right hand a Massive single Edge Axe , it's handle Wrapped in a clothe simular to Cloak that Adorns the Figure. On His other Arm A round sturdy Dark Wood Shield

This Breif Description Desribes an Image I've had in mind for a while

Only problem is I don't know It's Race or class

I want him To be Intimating and not on purpose.
He is a good Guy but , He, comes off As Scary Indviual .

The Reason for Wearing the The armor that many find Frighting is cause its been passed down from Mentor to student .

I want him to be good in battle but award in social situation as he naturally comes off as intimidating . But he is sincerely good hearted, and fights for the people, , even if they run when he comes to town

I need Race and class suggestions, well as idea to give him more personality

nd I love Arcs Character
And would very much like to play something Akin to him. I don't think I can get spot on but would like To Try To get close

For those who don't know but want a quick run Down

Arc is A lit Skeleton who is like a cross between a paladin and A arcane caster .

Well not sure if any Race can make me a boney hero . Something that tends to me more feared so I can Roleplay the don't judge a Book by its cover trope / Try to keep my identity a secret as much as possible.

I like to play A race thatill make me seem big (Abit big for a medium creature) further make me look threatening, though I tend to be a good fella

Class any that can give me stuff like break Curse and other simular spells but give me some Arcane spells mostly blasting spells

Also needs to be pretty proficient in Using a great sword

I would like to map out the first 8 levels to see what can done

Lastly needs to be good .....really would love to be Chatoic good

I have no up coming games but want some character ideas fleshed out for when I do.

I Have been eyeing the idea of playing Dwarf Barbarian

And I was wondering if I should go Unchained

And what if any Archtype would be worth it.

I am not to good at telling if an archetype is strong or not

I need help choosing what items my level 11 Arcanist would have

I'll have wealth as a level 11 character

I'm basically using my spells for Utility and exploits like ice missle for offense

I never really played a pure caster so idk what they need 9r what items or out there for me

I guess Stat Boosting Item
Like a +4 Head band of INT / Cha could be nice (40k)
Maybe a back up Magic missle Wand
Any other items?

Ok I know I asked for help a lot with builds but I'm getting tired of feeling useless in my party
With a Total of 42 (Rolled a 19) Still could not Touch the enemy. I landed one hit on a roll of 20 but that's a Roll 20
And this is like 5hr 4th time this happened

So I like to Build a Magic Missle specialist (Really want Dazing Spell with it)
Want to Min max this character as much as possible

I will be behind party in Level (Party LV11 / I'll be Level 7)

I need help building a Level 7 build but plan out to Level 11 To 12

Need to overcome come SR as well the best I can

Any race (well almost) anything really strong I'll half to run by GM
Any pazio + 3rd party on caze by case bases

So in the game I'm in a lot of Enemies have SR 31 +
I'm level 11 and need to know if I cast a spell at a Caster level higher than my actual level

Let's say a Battering Blast at Caster level 16

Dose that help with over coming a foes SR or no?

When using the cluster Bomb Trick How dose stuff like Intensified Spell (Metamagic)
Or similar stuff interact with it.

Would a level 11 Sorcerer Deal 3D6 with each Fire Ball or would that not happen?

So I'm planning to switch character as I am not having fun with my Archer and have Chosen a Blaster Sorcerer.

I'm planning on a Half orc for my race. Putting my stat Bonud in Cha

For My Bloodline I'm taking the Orc one
And am taking the first Bloodline mutation (Blood Havoc)

These are my feats

1 Empower Spell
3 spell Focus Evcation

11 Maximized Spell

So far these are the spells I picked out

I am looking to grade my weapon next chance i Get and could use some advice on what To Add to it.

We Are fighting Dragons (Cromatic) , Demon's and zombies as the main enemies

I have about 44000 Gold I can spend on this

I Know increasing the over all +s on it would do me good but I am wandering if there any specific ability that be worth it

What class would get the most out of This VMC
What order should I Take
What Archetype on the Main class should I take

Not to concern if this over makes me weaker for missing out on Feats I'm just trying to see what is effective with this

I thought about doing some form of Unchained Monk and doing order of eastern star
And going crane style and having my monk be a warrior monk who monastery guards some world shattering secerect

So If I understand correctly I'll have Feats at these levels if I'm going Human

So well this is not actually happen my friend and I are worried my friends 5e game May fall through and i actually like this character background

Orphan boy grows up on street and is dying but refuses to steal. So a member of a order o knights takes him in. He sees something in the boy that others don't and so he raises and Trains the boy hoping one day he'll take his spot years past and boy is a man but one day he comes home and finds his foster father / mentor with a Dagger I'm the back. Dead on the floor. He gets blamed the knights can't actually prove He did it but he will not be allowed in the organization.

So he sets out to prove his innocence.

He is a lawful hood honorable fighter. Will not ambush and will not gang up on a enemy

What class would be good?
In the 5e game he's a paladin
But i feel like he could be a calvailier but not sure
He uses a polearm

Hi I'm playing a human Eldritch Archer who uses a Pistol
