I've just started looking into the stinging whip. Does it use the same stats (damage, crit, damage type) as a normal whip? Can't find that anywhere. I found 2 random sites which list it as the same as a normal whip, but with increased damage. One site had 1d6, another 1d8. Any idea which is accurate? Since it's constructed from metal instead of leather, I'm presuming an increase of damage

These sites were peoples uploaded character sheets.

In all honesty, I'd snatch up some iron claws (tekko-kagi) as my off-hand weapons in a heartbeat if the damage on them wasn't so ridiculously small. Disarm without AoA, blocking, and a weapon? Yes please. d3 and exotic? No thank you.

Question: Do Dragon Style and Boar Style work with a gauntlet? I thought they only worked with unarmed strike

I think a gauntlet (or Cestus) works with those styles. Mainly because in their weapon descriptions it refers to them as unarmed strikes.

Or for that matter, a zealous Ragathiel worshipping Mutation Warrior who sees his mutagens as a holy gift to help smite anyone dumb enough to face a combination of weapon training and mutated strength... how perfect is gaining wings?

Heh. Never even considered a Mutation Warrior. After looking it over... yes! That's awesome! Believing that the discovery of his mutagen is divine inspiration from Ragathiel, blessing him with increased combat prowess to bring wrathful vengeance down upon the evils he encounters. A high Dex would help offset the loss of Armor Training. Also, the race I'm dead set on using (DM approved) has a +2 racial Dodge AC bonus.

I may have been misleading when I said "two-weapon fighter". I'm playing a Kasatha, so he's a multi-weapon fighter. Worked it out with the DM and we're going to swap out "two-weapon" for "multi-weapon" in all feats and aspects just to simplify everything. A 4-armed Mutation Warrior wielding a bastard sword and 3 other swords flying down at you with his angelic (bird) wings. This is gonna be fun!

Thanks for all the input! The Deliverer, Divine Tracker, and Warpriest are an interesting idea with some nice class ability benefits.

StabbittyDoom, I already have a specific race in mind so the Half-Elf Ancestral Arms trait wouldn't work. Weapon Master would be nice, especially with the early onset of weapon training (although specific).

True, Gilfalas, fighter's receive an abundance of feats. I'm set on playing a two-weapon fighter and I know it will demand a lot of those feats. That's my reason for trying to free one up. I'd do the Two-Weapon Warrior archetype but the only class abilities I like start at 9th level. If the Improved/Perfected Balance abilities started a lot earlier I'd go for it.

Thanks for mentioning the Fate's Favor trait, BadBird. I looked at Chosen One in the list of faith traits there and had an idea about homebrewing a change to it. It's listed source is Champions of Purity and it's actually called Chosen of Iomedae (why I overlooked it). Makes sense now it's about a longsword and all. Maybe the generic version, Chosen One, should swap out the longsword with your deity's favored weapon. Granted, nowhere in it's description indicates you gain proficiency with said longsword, but would that just be implied or selective, like with the Heirloom Weapon trait?

I've been scouring these forums/message boards to no avail. I hope that I've merely missed my solution, rather than it not being so. I have a specific character in mind to play and it's not working. A faithful fighter. None of the archetypes I've found fit. Main aspect is fighter class who can use his favored deity's weapon without taking a feat for it. Deity is Ragathiel and favored weapon is a bastard sword. Are there any character traits allowing the use of your deity's favored weapon? That'd be the easiest way. Didn't know where to post this and thought here was a safe bet. Thanks.
