Lingering Performance wouldn’t work with Battle Dance. The ability calls it out specifically. I do intend on taking Fighter the rest of the way. You’re right about Cha though. I guess I’d only need a 14 or to get the 4th level spell. That would definitely let me bring Str up a bit for a Composite Bow. Do you think Straight Fighter puts more damage out? The Battle Dance will give 10 to Damage. WS, GWS, and WT 5 is only a +9 to Damage, +11 with Gloves of Dueling and that’s at level 20. Straight Fighter doesn’t offer Arcane Strike either. Between that and Battle Dance it’s 13 Damage. Plus the +10 to hit. All by level 10 Bard.
Small sized Muse-Touched Aasimar Stats need to be rolled or purchased but Dex and Cha will be the Focus. 10 levels Dervish of Dawn, 2 levels Fighter
So by level 10 Bard Battle Dance is giving a +10 to Att and Dmg. Primarily a ranged fighter but can hold his own in melee and actually has higher dmg in melee per hit though Manyshot and Rapid Shot will make up for the lack of Str. Tuned Bowstring allows me to continue performing without using rounds, and Allegro gives haste as a second level spell for as long as I’m performing. Any suggestions to cap this build off or make adjustments? Thanks!
These are some awesome insights! Thank you! I love Extreme Mood Swings and one of the linked forums mentioned the Imprerious Bloodline. So 7 levels Bard and the rest Drunken Rager would let you drink for extra Rage rounds and abilitities and increase the Morale bonuses. Eldritch Heritage and Improved Eldritch Heritage with the Imperious Bloodline increases the Morale and Competence Bonuses by 1.
I recently came across some really cool items for Bard that helped me come up with a rough concept for the ultimate buffer. The Items:
With these 3 items, a level 7 Bard could use his Inspire Courage ability to give a +5 Competence bonus to Attack and Damage. Throw in the Flagbearer feat and you have an additional +2 Morale Bonus. Make a +1 Courageous Longspear to put the banner on, and you have +8 to Attack and Damage by level 7. How can we take this farther? I’m thinking a Crossclass into Barbarian at level 8 gives Rage which is a Morale Bonus to Str/Con, and if the Longspear is upgraded to a +4 Furious Courageous weapon, you’re looking at +5 Competence, +5 Morale, and +7 to Str/Con. Can anyone think of a better way to do this? Or any way to improve upon it?

I’m considering it as a replacement for my Way of the Wicked Character if my current one should die. We’re already level 12. If my DM allowed, I could just enter as the snake with the ex Druid as the companion.
A Druid with a Titanoboa companion. Druid casts Awaken on the snake. The snake decides to take levels in the Devolutionist Druid Archetype; deciding that animals should rule Golarion. The snake then performs the Devolution ritual on the Druid, turning the former Druid into the Animal Companion of his former Animal Companion. Titanoboa because it has the highest Wisdom, could pretty easily subdue the Druid, and reptiles tend to lean towards psychopathic personalities.
The heaviest known Naturally occurring element is Osmium. It weighs in at 22.59g/cm^3. So one cubic meter of Osmium would weigh ~22500 kg. Or roughly 51,000 lbs. So if a Mage were to fly up into the Upper Atmosphere with Life Bubble on, use Major Creation to create 9 cubic feet of Osmium, and let it fall back to Earth; what would be the result? Anyone out there with a physics background want to help me out?

I am currently playing a Witch in a Way of the Wicked campaign, and have done a lot of research into the class. I would recommend the Plague Patron, as it gives access to Animate Dead. You’ll need some minions to act as a meat Shield for your coven. The Gravewalker Archetype is also fantastic for this. If one of you is a Samsaran, you could add the Summon Monster 5-8 spells from the Summoner Spell list to the Witch Spell list and have access to them at much lower levels; letting you summon some really strong things that can be buffed up with Hexes. Fortune for example is once per day on a particular target. Who cares if you just keep summoning new T-Rex’s? Veneficus Witch is an awesome Archetype. With access to minor and major Creation, you can create some really nasty poisons at virtually no cost, then distribute them through your Hexes. My Favoite is Spell Hex: Ill Omen. There is no save for it, which means they are automatically effected and it functions as a Misfortune Hex. If you send the poison along with it, they have to save vs the poison and in doing so roll twice and take the lower. There is also a Patron that gives you all the good Evocation spells if you want a Blaster in the party. Bouda Witch has a much stronger version of Evil Eye. You sacrifice your Major Hex at 10 for the ability to Wild Shape into a Hyena or Dire Hyena, which could be cool but with a d6 HD You would want to use it more for scouting I think.
So we are playing a Way of the Wicked campaign and are in the second book, running our Evil Organization. Very soon I will have access to Major Creation. I am planning on using the spell to create large amounts of Opium, which we will then sell via our weekly actions to the nearby town. I have 2 questions. First, if someone consumes the drugs, do the effects disappear when the spell ends? I wouldn’t think that addiction would, but what about the ability damage? Second, what is a reasonable profit from starting an Opium trade that has virtually no production cost? Thoughts?
I was thinking about ways to make combat feel more exciting. Maybe a little more theatrical. I’m toying with the idea of dropping the static 10 for AC and instead having everyone roll for their defense and add their modifiers. Maybe make it so on a Nat 20 the defender gets to make a Counterattack, and on a Nat 1 the Attacker gets to make another attack. I feel like this could make combat a lot more exciting. Has anyone toyed with a system like this? If so, how did it go? Does anyone see a reason why this would be game breaking one way or another?

Your math adds up. He has Deadly Aim which is where he gets the +11. We’re level 8 now. The Dex Belt is next on the list and he’ll take WF at level 9. Combined with Arrowmasters Bracers he should be ok for when he needs to get that Composite Blast off. Thanks for taking the time to help!
We are playing a Way of the Wicked campaign and one of us is playing a Kineticist. We recently had a fight with an enemy that had a fairly high AC. Our Kineticist has about a +11 to hit right now if he is within 30 ft. During our last battle, he spent a round and a half gathering power to use his Composite Blast with Empower at a longer range, rolled his attack, got a 10 and missed. It’s pretty anticlimactic to have this big, loud display of charging to fire a blast and miss with a 21 to hit. I was thinking of crafting him an item that could improve his chance to hit when he focuses. Maybe a Cumulative bonus to attack for each action spent Gathering Power? Otherwise a 3/day True Strike Item activated as a Swift action? Does anyone have any suggestions or insight?
I am considering a Drake Rider/Mammoth Rider build, but I’m not sure how Attacks would work on a huge sized Steed. At level 13, I would essentially be riding a Huge Dragon. With a Lance, I could attack 10 ft away, but if I’m sitting in the middle of a Huge sized mount, the nearest enemy would be at least 15 ft away. Would there be a way to house rule a 15ft reach Lance to be used in conjunction? I would consider the Lunge feat but what about level 17 when the Mount is Gargantuan? Has anyone faced a similar issue?
Working on a build for a Cavalier using the Flinging Charge Feat with a Net. If using a Snag net, and the lead is tied to the back of the saddle, what would the rule be for dragging the target behind the horse? Assuming Ride-By-Attack. Thematically it would make sense that the target is pretty easily pulled behind the horse so a drag maneuver seems to make sense. But it would also almost certainly pull them off if their feet as well. So I would assume you should also get a trip attempt. If the trip succeeds, and they’re being drug across the ground behind the horse, how much damage would be dealt each round? I would think 1 or 2d6 bludgeoning. Are there any rules for this of which I am not aware? Thanks.
Wondering what people think about this build:
So with a +1 Returning Shocking Light Hammer you’re looking at +7 to hit before Dex and 1d4+1d6+15 Damage.
Thanks!
Thinking about a build for my next campaign, and I wanted to make sure it would work the way I want it to. The idea here is 3 levels of Unchained Rogue, followed by 4 levels of Urban Bloodrager, and then into Duelist. I would be playing a Fetchling which gets the benefits of total concealment when in Dim Light. So when I hit level 7 and enter my Bloodrage, I will lower the light around me by 1 step. Normal light becomes Dim, I have full concealment from Shadow Blending, and will be able to Sneak Attack my opponents. With a starting Dex of 20 after Racial modifier, the +4 from the Urban Bloodrage, and my +4 item I will likely have, that will be a +16/+11 1d6+10 15-20/x2 with my Rapier assuming it’s a +1 Keen Rapier and a 19 AC before feats and Buckler, and a 50% chance for opponents to miss me. Have I factored all that out right?

UC Monk 2 for bonus feats, Evasion, FoB, and Wis to AC. Barb 2 for fast movement and Rage. Druid 16 with Shaping focus and Feral Combat training: Tentacle. Dragon Style and Dragon Ferocity. WS into a giant octopus. You get a bite with poison, 9 tentacle attacks with the flurry and all the tentacles have grab and construct. As long as your Wis and Str are good you have decent AC, insane full round damage. A giant ranging Octopus with 20’ reach.
Does using a Hex against a creature end invisibility effects? I am thinking about a Witch with a level in Assasin for a Way if the Wicked Campaign. My thought is that if I could go invisible with a potion or ring, study my target, then evil eye and misfortune them, then sneak attack denying their Dex because of the invisibility, I would have a pretty decent shot at killing pretty whomever I want without much of a fight. Will this plan Work? Also open to other suggestions.
We are starting the campaign soon and I am so torn. Option 1: Mickey, the child-eating Ratfolk Witch. Option 2: Dickey, the Serial Rapist Orc Grappler. Option 3: Neegan the Gnome Dazzling Display Fighter. (See Walking Dead for character traits) Open to suggestions as well but please make sure they are both sadistic and hilarious.
Looking into Camny Tumble as a feat for my Rogue, and I realized something that just seems insane.
Hi! I am building a level 10 character to replace one of my fallen characters in Rappan Athuk. The character is 9 levels of Spell-Less Ranger and 1 Level of Pack Lord/Menhir Savant Druid. I want to make sure I am doing everything right, and I would love some input. By my calculations I should have 3 Wolf animal companions. One from Druid, 2 from Ranger with the extra companion talent. Druid and Ranger levels stack for the purposes of determining the level of animal companions according to the Druid Class rules. If anyone with a stronger grasp of Pathfinder than me could take a look and tell me your thoughts, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Spell-Less Ranger 9, Pack Lord/Menhir Savant Druid 1 At will Detect Undead, Outsiders, Fey, Incorporeal, Etherial, or Astral creatures.
