Over the holidays, our group is doing a Pathfinder one-shot game that's going to close with a fight against a CR21. I don't know exactly what type of BBEG, but I do know the AC is going to be in the 35-40 range, the SR is over 30, and it has epic DR.
Now, here's the thing...I've been out of the PF min-max game for a few years, but I'm our group's declared optimizer and I know I'm going to be the one that has to probably carry most of the weight in terms of actually having a strategy to win the fight. (The other players in my group are fantastic roleplayers, but they're very far from being optimized character builders.)
So, my question is, what can I do to counter this kind of fight? 13th level, I rolled fairly so-so stats (15, 15, 13, 11, 9, 8), anything first-party is open, and I can probably get third-party stuff approved if I ask nicely.
My general thoughts were:
1) Focus on consumables since this is a one-shot game.
2) Focus on casters since I can nova with spells (again, a one-shot, although there will be multiple encounters during the session.)
3) I was thinking maybe some kind of blaster with crossblooded sorcerer, but getting around SR seems pretty difficult. Plus at 13th, I'd have to give up 7th level spells to go with a dip or a spontaneous caster.
Any ideas? Maybe I should go melee and just focus on big, accurate attacks?
