I'm sorry to upset you, Dreklord. I realize that the build I proffered is a little unorthodox, and relies on several assumptions. My remarks as to getting your DM drunk to make him agree to the build, or encouraging DMs in the scenario to enact violence on their players are largely intended as attempts at humor. Mostly the games I play in are heavy RPG and light crunch, so don't worry, I haven't been using Blammo to one-shot level appropriate dungeon rooms starting at level 3. I didn't create him to ruin other people's fun, I created him because the idea of a chubby goblin wielding a cannon like a bazooka tickled me.
As I said earlier, if your DM isn't willing to entertain the conceit that Goblin Gunslinger allows a medium goblin to wield a firearm as though he were a large sized creature, the rest of the build is kaput. Your suggestion (and avr's suggestion) of just using a really big gun is probably a much better option at that point. Although, it does bear mentioning that an ogre or centaur character could pull this off without the feat, so if you still are intent on wielding a cannon, find a large race (or someone to cast enlarge person on you) and avoid the argument. Personally, I don't think it's that much of a stretch, especially since (as you mentioned) characters may already wield whatever size firearms they like.
While Throw Anything does not specify an "improvised projectile weapon" which as you say, is not a phrase mentioned anywhere on the SRD, I would argue that an "improvised ranged weapon" could cover a ship's cannon used in a creative way. Mostly because I think that would be cool, but also because I believe wielding an overlarge and awkward object that was never designed to be a two handed firearm falls well within the established territory of what the improvised weapon rules were designed to cover. If you were my DM, and disagreed, I would respect your judgement and take my -4 to attacks (again, assuming of course you have already agreed to how Goblin Gunslinger was used earlier, or I had been forced to change the character's race to one that was either naturally or magically large).
I'm not sure where the line is on "may use as a two handed firearm" vs "is a two handed firearm" in regard to fast musket, but if your DM is pulling out rationale like that, I think it's safe to assume he doesn't like the build. Or maybe doesn't like you. Maybe consider finding a different group.
One last thing to note: If you were to decide to pursue an ogre cannon wielder, and your DM were hesitant to indulge you in calling a cannon an "improvised ranged weapon" as covered by Throw Anything's umbrella (perhaps because of being caught up by the word "throw" in the feat's name), then I would recommend the Ogre racial feat Quick at Hand instead.
I looked round, but couldn't find anything in the way of clarification. In the end my group and I landed on the "improvised weapon" rule on account of it not being built to be used in the way it's being wielded, but your mileage may vary. I guess you can always just eat the -4 and grab things like Weapon Focus to mitigate the problem.
Here's a build that works great if your DM is fun, or crazy, or a little drunk, and willing to squint hard enough. If you are a fan of goblins, explosions, and people wielding weapons that are patently too large for them, then read on!
Blammo is a goblin gunslinger using the Oversized Goblin variant. He is therefore a Medium sized creature with +2 STR, +2 DEX, and -2 CHA. As far as his other goblin racial traits, nothing has been changed, so take any that you like. Junk Tinker, for instance seems quite thematic.
Ability Scores
10 point: Str 16, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 5

25 point: Str 16, Dex 18, Con 14, Int 9, Wis 16, Cha 5
A note on the high strength: I'm not sure how much pathfinder says that a cannon weighs (spoilers). I figure that with muleback cords or extradimensional space, we can figure this one out by the time it's important. If your DM can't be asked to keep track of encumbrance, so much the better.
Skill Points
We have between 3 and 5 per level depending on Favored Class bonuses and which array you got stuck with. I recommend picking a few of your best options and maxing them out, considering. Perception is (as usual) one of your best options, Craft: Alchemy will help to keep you in ammo for a fraction of the usual cost, and Stealth is also an okay option given our light armor and high Dex (especially if your cannon is in a bag of holding or something). If you plan to take Siege Gunner at level 5 (or Master Siege Engineer at level 10), you will also need ranks in K. Engineering or Profession: Siege Engineer.
Traits
Surprise Weapon (+2 to hit with improvised weapons)
(Any other trait that you would like)
Level 1 (Gunslinger: Musket Master)
Class Features: Deeds, Grit, Gunsmith
Feats: Rapid Reload (Musket) and Goblin Gunslinger
Goblin gunslinger is the only part of this build I would consent to being a bit suspect for two reasons. RAW it allows goblin characters to wield firearms as though they were medium size, but I don't think that it's a stretch to rule that it would allow us to do the same with large weapons, given that we're medium sized already. Otherwise, a standard sized goblin would lose this ability if Enlarge Person were cast on him. If your DM is already bucking at this idea, read no further. My condolences. If everything checks out as I've said, then congratulations! Grab your 3d6 musket and load it with paper cartridges. You're already gunslinging like a pro.
Now for the second shaky part of Goblin Gunslinger. Maybe buy your DM another drink before telling him about this part. According to the section on inappropriately sized weapons here "In most cases, a Large or larger creature can use a siege firearm as a two-handed firearm, but the creature takes a –4 penalty for using it this way because of its awkwardness." This leads me to make two assumptions. First, and most importantly, that since we are able to wield firearms as though we were a size larger, that we too are capable of hoisting a fracking cannon onto one shoulder and using it as a two handed firearm, and two, that the "-4 penalty" imposed is the standard nonproficiency penalty one takes for wielding an improvised weapon (an item not designed to be wielded as a weapon) in combat. Thanks to the Fast Musket deed, we can reload this improvised two handed weapon as though it were a pistol, meaning Rapid Reload: Cannon allows us to reload paper cannonball cartridges as a free action. If you made it this far, you're in the clear! Maybe buy the DM another drink to celebrate.
You're now toting a 6d6 siege weapon as a main weapon, with a musket for a sidearm. Don't forget that you can also load Blast Shot for the same price as a normal cannonball (10gp if you make it yourself) to do the same damage to everyone in a 30 foot cone with a much lower chance of misfire. The only trade off? Your shots no longer ignore hardness. Too bad. Did you know our standard ammunition ignores all hardness? It does.
Your main problem now is how expensive (and heavy) your ammo is. Best solution I can think of is to grab up a custom magic item of abundant ammunition as soon as possible. Mine is a chest slot item I call the Cannoneer's Bandolier. As a 1st level spell cast at 1st level, with a minute duration, it should cost 4,000gp to have it always on. Odds are, you'll be able to grab it sometime between now and 4th level. If not, maybe a wand?
Assuming everything I said about improvised weapons checked out, this should remove the penalty for attacking with the cannon (doesn't say you actually have to throw it) and put you at Full BAB plus Dex plus 2 trait bonus to hit with the thing. Considering it resolves on touch AC for the first 100 feet range increment, you won't be missing much.
Lvl 5 (Gunslinger: Musket Master)
Class Features: Musket Training
Feats: (Seige Engineer)
If your DM didn't buy that shtick about improvised weapons, then forget Throw anything and the Surprise weapon trait. Take EWP: Cannon at third level and just grab this feat at fifth. Even if he does let the improvised weapon thing go, you might pick this anyway, depending on how afraid you are of misfires.
Also, we get Dex to damage with all two handed firearms this level, which rocks.
Lvl 6-8 (Monk: Zen Archer)
Class Features: Flury of Blows, Unarmed Strike, Way of the Bow, Zen Archery, Fast Movement
Feats: Point Blank Shot, Perfect Strike, Rapid Shot, Weapon Focus: Longbow, Precise Shot, Point Blank Master
I like to consider this the "Holy frack, I forgot I was a ranged character" period. This dip helps us pick up a bunch of the feats we otherwise might have been taking, had we not been focusing on getting a cannon. Also, nets us +10 movement, and +3 to all our saves. Losing one point of BAB isn't great, but it doesn't suck either, considering we're attacking Touch AC. If your DM allows the non-paizo archetype Zen Marksman though, take that instead. It's just as good as Zen archer, and all of it works for your cannon.
Lvl 9+
Lots of good options here; feats are as good for ranged characters as they always are, so grabbing levels in fighter wouldn't go amiss. Fighter also comes with Weapon Training, and the "Warrior Spirit" option, to allow for on-the-fly enchanting. Depending on whether or not your DM ruled that your cannon is an improvised weapon, you might pick up the (non Paizo) improved catch off-guard feat to get sneak attack on your cannon attacks, if for some reason your cannon isn't doing enough damage for you. You could also make a strong case for the Shikigami Style chain of feats to drive your damage total into the stratosphere (your DM would be well within his rights to lob something heavy at your head at this point). Eldritch Archer Magus might also be an interesting choice, allowing for cannonballs that deliver spell attacks. Basically any full base attack class with a couple extra feats will be good as gold from here on in.
By the way, if your character happens to be level 10 or more at creation, I'd also like to point out that you can skip being a musket master by taking the Master Siege Engineer feat. This will lower your reload time to a move action with a siege weapon to a move action. Rapid Reload: Cannon would then reduce your reload time to free action without even requiring paper cartridges.
When it comes to later game items, just focus on the big 6:
Magic Weapon
Enchant the heck out of your cannon, if you're able. If not, grab all the magic ammo you can lay your grubby goblin mitts on
Magic Armor
A monk's robe isn't a terrible choice here, but don't be afraid to put on some light armor if you need to. We aren't using any monk abilities that we'd lose by donning it.
Cloak of Resistance
To keep our saves high
Stat-boosting item (headbands for mental stats, belts for physical)
Wisdom for Headbands, Dex for Belts
Ring of Protection/Amulet of Natural Armor
Realy helps our survivability, especially if we're using our Monk unarmored AC
Feats I recommend from this point onward:
Shikigami Style
Shikigami Mimicry
Shikigami Manipulation
Improved Precise Shot
Clustered Shots
Deadly Aim
Any other ranged feats
I think I've made my decision. I'm going to allow the animal companion to take VMC fighter. I can't think of what it might harm, and as David Knott and VoodistMonk say, implementation isn't much of a problem. Thanks for your feedback, everyone.
I'd really rather not debate that second part, please. Let's do try to stay on topic. I do apologize, but it's such a contentious issue at my table that I'm afraid I'm rather burnt out on the whole argument
I would argue that the only thing being altered via "instant enemy" is the ability of the ranger to treat the statue as an appropriate target for the "awaken construct" spell, which is an appropriate use of the ability by "instant enemy's " own wording. While I will admit, "instant enemy" requires a creature for its target, I would say the ape still qualifies, despite being technically nonliving. I can't immediately point to any evidence for this, however, except to say that dead creatures can be similarly targeted.
That said, my GM had a similar reaction when I posed it to him, so I'm reasonably certain I'm in the wrong on this one. Still, it was an interesting thing to consider.
At best, you have an animal companion when it's fleshy and an awakened stone construct when it's stone. Both with completely different stats abilities, etc. If the stats some how combined then why wouldn't the stone construct get the animal companion's stats?
I'd assume that the statue would technically have all the stats of the petrified creature, save for its intelligence, as the Flesh to Stone spell specifies the creature becomes mindless. At least, it would be mindless until awakened. As to whether or not reversing the transformation kills the gorilla, or renders it like unto an "incarnate construct" of old, I couldn't say. I suppose it would be an issue for your DM, who likely wouldn't allow you to attempt such a thing, I'd be willing to bet.
The most obvious hangup I can think of, off the bat, would be the issue of a familiar gaining the Wizard VMC and getting its own familiar... That could certainly lead to problems.
Pretty much what it says on the tin, I'm afraid. Are there any rules regarding non-humans taking variant multiclass? Obviously the animal would need a passably human intelligence score, but are there any other requirements one would have to meet? What might be the possible implications?
I am also curious about the same issue in regard to familiars, although I recognize the issue of whether familiars gain feats appropriate to their hit die is a matter for some debate. I will say only that I have always allowed familiars to benefit from feats in my own campaigns.
You could always just lock them away somewhere. Jailbreak plots are usually fun and kind of messy. Having the oracle growing slowly more ravenous in a prison cell, looking out at the party with steadily hungrier eyes could make for some bloody fine roleplay. Or how about a shipwreck?
Doesn't the Awaken spell grant 3d6 Int? You could also throw that into the mix.
Unfortunately, the Awaken spell specifies that the awakened creature can't serve as an animal companion. That said, this doesn't necessarily kill us in the crib.
I will preface this by saying that the following method is some fairly funky cheese. Maybe not a Limburger, but probably at least a Blue.
You could use Flesh to Stone to transform the creature into a stone version of itself, and then get a ranger friend with Construct as a favored enemy (druids and rangers must know each other, right?) to cast "instant enemy" on it, treating the stone ape as a construct. We could then use a scroll of Maximized, or Empowered (or Both) Awaken Construct on the stone ape, which has no such limitation on whether or not the creature may serve as a familiar/companion. That grants an Intelligence score of 3d6, and additional 2d6 Charisma points.
Maximized makes the ape's base Int 18, and adds +12 Cha
Maximized/Empowered makes the base Int 27, and adds +18 Cha
Then we just turn our friend back to flesh and add his Animal Companion bonuses to his new stats. He also gains a bunch of new languages from the Awaken Construct spell, so that's something too. You'll probably have to buy him some drinks to make things up to him, since he's probably smarter than you now.
One last thing I forgot to mention. If your DM allows third party material, then take Vicious Opportunity and Vicious Cleave instead of Patient Strikes and Weapon Trick, respectively. They are functionally much better, and come online far earlier.
Flavor isn't near as good though, in my humble opinion.
To be honest, with Mythic Vital Strike the stat you use for damage is a lot less important than the number of weapon damage dice you get. Especially since you will be using only Vital Strike for most of your build, since you won't qualify for improved vital strike until level 15.
For example, let's say you were using a butchering axe, and your strength was an 18. That would mean your weapon's damage dice (multiplied by 2) would be 6d6, so we would multiply all additional damage added to the total by 6. That means your strength would add a total of 24 damage to the total, and if you were power attacking, power attack would add 36.
6d6+6(4)+6(6)= 6d6+60
With the "Impact" enchantment, the effective size of your butchering axe increases by 1, bringing its damage dice to 4d4, and 8d4 with power attack
8d6+8(4)+8(6)= 8d6+80
The fastest way I can think of to get more weapon dice is the Shikigami Style line of feats, which actually sounds like a great option. What's better for a "thinking man's" combat style than using whatever is around you to your advantage against your enemies? Also, hard-bitten detectives (like many the roles of Humphrey Bogart) get into scrapes and have to fight with improvised weapons all the time. There's nothing quite like knowing that you're more dangerous with a broken bottle than most men are with a greatsword.
Wielding a sledgehammer with all three Shikigami Style feats means that you will be swinging for 6d6, or 12d6 with Vital Strike. If you use a Traveler's Any-Tool transformed into a sledgehammer, it will also be a +2 weapon.
That makes the damage into:
12d6+12(4)+12(6)+12(2)=12d6+144
Also, the Surprise Weapon trait gives a flat +2 bonus on all to-hit rolls with improvised weapons, which is like getting Weapon Focus twice for the cost of a trait. Very useful.
The Way of Patient Strikes is a fine divine fighting technique, and benefits a lot from the Warpriest's sacred weapon damage boost. Have you considered a Vital Strike build? As a 3/4 BAB class that can qualify for the feats as though it were a full BAB class, they could add quite a bit of damage to your attack routine with the right feats.
One more thing. Equipment trick may not give you the ability to fight with your forge tools (although if I were your DM, we could definitely work something out) but it will let you put your anvil to use, and that's just fun.
Well, near as I can tell, sacred weapon replaces the base damage of the weapon, and Shikigami Style adds an effective size increase like the Impact enchantment. This seems like it'd stack up fine, but I've been wrong before. Anyone know more?
I had a fun Gnome Monk build a while back that focused more on debuffing than straight damage.
Scaled Fist Unchained Monk, focused on Dex and Cha.
Used a combination of the Enforcer feat, with Shatter Defenses, Medusa's Wrath, and Improved Dirty Tricks.
Enforcer would allow me to demoralize things to give them Shaken, which would make them flat footed from Shatter Defenses, which would trigger 2 extra attacks from Medusa's Wrath. Dirty Tricks could impart a few other debuffs.
I think I had something else that would make them sickened or maybe something else, been a while since I thought about that build.
It's possible I'm just in love with this option because I was using it on my King of Tetherball build, but if you took "Equipment Trick: Shield" you could treat your shield as both a manufactured weapon and an improvised weapon, depending on which was more advantageous. That'd clear you to pick up Surprise Weapon for a solid +2 trait bonus to hit with it. Does that help at all?
Rogue Talents are Firearm Training, Grit, and Scattergun Assassin. Take Prescient Strike for our 7th level Arcana, and retrain a feat on Extra Arcana: Ki Arcana. Resolve firearms attacks as a touch attack against a foe who is also flat footed, get a bunch of sneak attack dice, and get a ki/grit/arcana point back every time you blow somebody away.
This'd work for rogue, too but you'd have to drop a few more feats to get the ki pool talent. It'd make you less MAD though, thanks to Improved Ki Pool.
The monkey will be able to use Improvised Weapons, too: they have hands. Maybe get yourself Broken Wing Gambit and Paired opportunist, so that when either of you is attacked, both of you get attacks of opportunity. You could call yourselves Rhyme and Reason.
I feel bad for owlbears generally. Freakish things magicked up by a mad wizard, their only purpose in life to be hacked to pieces by gangs of adventurers.
Sometimes they get domesticated though. That's gotta be pretty okay, right?
(Pardon the double post, I don't seem to be able to edit at all anymore)
Oh! I almost forgot. Eldritch Guardian fighters get a familiar which shares all of their combat feats. A "Mauler" monkey familiar will make a great backup melee dancer until you can find yourself a real Shikigami for flavor and added fun.
This might be a bit out in the weeds, but if you need to get some decent damage on a smaller character, might I recommend the Shikigami Style chain of feats? By level 5, your character could be swinging a Traveler's Anytool shaped into a sledgehammer for 4d6+ 1.5(Str). It'd be a +2 weapon as well. If you need to make up for a lackluster To Hit bonus, you might also consider the Surprise Weapon trait for a flat +2 to hit with all improvised weapons.
Halflings get Catch Off-Guard and Throw Anything for free with the "Resourceful" alternate racial trait. Failing that, Makeshift Scrapper rogue, Hinyasi Brawler, and Monk of the Empty Hand all have decent potential.
There's a problem with your build, which is most significant if you're looking for good functionality from Level 1.
The Whip Mastery feat requires a Base Attack Bonus of +2. Your Warpriest won't qualify for it until 3rd level.
Ah... the Warpriest only counts their level as their BAB for bonus feats. That's a real problem. I suppose we're taking Power Attack at level 1, and moving Whip Mastery to level 3. This will also mean we're taking Strike Back at level 17, and Improved Vital strike at level 18 with Giant Killer. That doesn't kill us in the crib, I suppose. Still, we're more dangerous with a plain old great sword until level 3. I guess there's no shame in that. Thanks for your keen eye!
This looks sweet. I had never heard of Storm of Blades, does it work with the same action as Whirlwind attack? Also, consider the Fate's Favored trait carefully. It's a huge boon to spells like Divine Favor and Divine Power, which make for incredible self-buffs with Fervor.
Personally, I always feel bad for Kobolds. They're one of the few races that gets treated more like vermin than even goblins. They can live to be up to 60, but most die off around 12, unless of course they get eaten as infants by their parents or siblings. They spend all their time in squalor, nursing old grudges, and clinging to a tribal caste system. They constantly are made to feel inadequate by their kinship with dragons. Even the dragons they serve find their whole existence distasteful, and eat them if they get bored or annoyed. Seems like a pretty miserable lot in life.
I dunno if I'd call them strictly intelligent, but there's a really good chart for this on GoblinPunch. Just as a warning, there is some strong language.
Hello, all. I was hoping I could get one or two opinions on this Warpriest build I've been tinkering with. I've just begun playing in a game beginning at 16th level, with a single mythic rank. This will be the highest level character I've ever gotten to play, as well as the first mythic character, and so I set out to put together a Mythic Vital Strike build, for the novelty of it being useful. Along the way, however, I've stumbled into something of an interesting concept that works fairly well as a playable-from-level-one build, with no mythic requirements. The build requires you to be a Human with a deity that favors the whip, so Calistria is a good option. If your DM isn't fussy about which favored weapon you get, like mine, then I recommend Kurgess for flavor. Without further ado, here are the feats.
We're a Warpriest with a 1d6 whip! Good for us. In our hands, it's a one handed weapon with 15 ft reach. We'll be wielding it in two hands, though.
3rd: Power Attack and Cleave
While wielding our whip in two hands doesn't give 1.5 times our Strength to damage, wielding it in two hands should still confer +3 per iteration of Power Attack.
5th: Goblin Cleaver
This is a fun feat that lets us use our Cleave attack on any creature that is a size smaller than us regardless of their position. Considering the reach of our whip, we should always have a target for our cleave attack. If you happen to be an evil Warpriest, you might consider throwing Mighty Cleaving on your whip to get a second cleave attack. If not, just wait until next level.
6th: Great Cleave and Orc Hewer
Now we can cleave as many targets as we want in our 15ft reach, so long as they're our size or smaller, or adjacent to someone who is. It's not exactly whirlwind attack, but it's pretty close.
7th: Equipment Trick (Rope)
We can use a length of rope as a whip, in addition to some other fun options. I like to imagine that the end of the rope is tied into a monkey's fist, which will function as our tetherball. If you have a good magic whip at this point, it'll probably be better to use that. If you don't, however, our ball makes a fine target for Sacred Weapon.
9th: Throw Anything and Shikigami Style
Our (now effectively large size) ball now does as much damage as a great sword. This probably means that you're using the ball over whatever magic weapon you had before. Throw Anything is really just there as a prerequisite, however it's worth noting that we can disregard how the whip is MEANT to be used, and just chuck it at a faraway enemy. I'm gonna say we can yank it back as a move action. A rope is just a really long weapon cord, right? If your DM doesn't buy that, maybe put "returning" on a pair of +1 Gloves of Improvised Might.
11th: Vital Strike
This isn't doing much for us right now. Although it bears mentioning that since our ball now does 2d8 (as much as a large bastard sword) we can chuck it at someone for 4d8+Str damage. That's not nothing.
12th: Improved Vital Strike and Weapon Trick: Two Handed
Our initial and secondary cleave attacks now do vital strike damage, meaning that everyone within 15 feet of us is taking 4d8+Str damage, so long as they're the same size as us or smaller, or standing next to someone who is. It's worth noting that if your DM is nuts and allows 3rd party material, then Vicious Cleave from Flaming Crab Games works better and comes online much earlier. That being the case, I would also recommend Vicious Opportunity, but remember that you will need Improved Whip Mastery to make it work.
13th: Shikigami Mimicry
Our ball has gained another effective size category, and now does 3d8+Str on a normal hit, 6d8+Str on cleave, and 9d8 on a vital strike. We can also take -2 to add an assortment of abilities to our weapon temporarily.
15th: Shikigami Manipulation and Devastating Strike
A big damage boost here. Our ball now does 6d6+Str normally, meaning 12d6+Str+6 on a cleave, or 18d6+Str+6 on a Vital strike. See if your DM will allow you to coat the business end of your rope with Sovereign Glue to make it into a +5 weapon. If not, maybe wrap the knot around a Stone of Good Luck.
17th: Greater Vital Strike
Our Cleave now does 18d6+Str+6, pushing us past the damage of an empowered Fireball. Our range is 5ft shorter, but we get to fire one off every turn, it's party friendly, and there's no reflex save for half.
18th: Strike Back and Giant Killer
Add another size category to the list of people we can cleave into if they're within 15 ft of us.
19th: Quicken Blessing
I really wish I could have slotted this in earlier, but I honestly don't know where I ought to have put it. Any thoughts are appreciated.
And that's more or less it. Mythic ranks change matters, naturally, as Mythic Cleave handily replaces the entire Goblin Hewer feat chain, and makes the effect more or less foolproof. Mythic Vital strike, meanwhile, adds a frankly unconscionable amount of damage, putting us well in range of one-shotting any monster you might care to name.
