This is a wee bit of a convoluted plan but i always liked arcane archer and with the SLA changes for prestige classes i thought id try something a bit wacky(Core/apg/um/uc pretty sure im in there now with the build)

I envision him as an archer first caster second mostly focused on self buffs/manuverability with some offense that melds well with the playstyle

Thus far its fighter1/wizard1(scryer Needed for EK early access)/eldricth knight5/arcane archer 1. The stats reflect tiefling and level adjustments(i am open to different races)
Str:14
Dex:20
Con:10
Int:18
Wis:10
Cha:8

My feats are looking something like this(would like info feat progression i dont play many archers)
1st-point blank,precise shot(fighter bonus)
3rd-weapon focus
5th-Weapon Spec
EK1=deadly aim
Ek2=Rapid Shot
7th=Many shot

I am having a hard time with magic items outside obligatory stat point boosts. We have 37.5k gold to spend

I apologize if i am missing something key there i will come back and fill in information as i can


like the title states im currently working on an elf rogue atm and id like to use the elven curve blade feint build. the fighter level gets me essentially free proficiency and a bonus feat so it seems like itd be an ok dip. but im curious if its going to hurt me in the long run.


im about to make a character for a new campaign everyones basically decided but me. The party thus far is alchemist, ranged fighter, cleric, ranger.

im thinking maybe a wizard with a lot of control but id like to see some other idea. i like off the wall yet effective concepts im havin issues doing that with a wizard tho


do they stack? the class features they modify are all different. They both modify armor proficiency which i am unsure if that is a conflicting item


7 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

Kama, Double-Chained: This weapon comprises a pair of kama connected with an 8-foot length of chain. The wielder can attack as if armed with a single kama in each hand or extend the chain to make a single reach attack. By swinging the rope, the wielder can whip the kama about to disarm or trip opponents. Furthermore, if one of the weapons is dropped, the wielder can retrieve as a free action by pulling on the chain.

The way im reading it as it counts as 2 Kama, my question is can it then be used with weapon finesse since they are light weapons normally?


Im currently in the process of making a character and am going to craft myself a sun blade(mostly for thematic reasons though i like the weapon)but i was wondering and i guess it applies to all named weapons if i could put on an additional enchantment and how it would effect costs


as the title says i'm having issues picking feats for an Aasimar Oracle of the dark tapestry. we are 11th level 20 point buy. i intend for him to be a buffer/debuffer with a slight melee bent(one hand/shield combo) since we need the bodies. if you need any other information id be willing to provide it.


my most recent character has died and ive decided to play a synthesist summoner with the dimensional agility feat chain. having never played a summoner really before it seems like a lot of fun. The only problem is never playing anything like this before i have no clue what items to buy so i turn to you for just a little advice 20 point buy if you needed to know, and we really only have the core books(phb, apg, UM, UC)


ive never had much luck with rogues but our party is in need of trap finder extraordinaire. are there any options besides rogue and a ranger archtype i dont much care for. any help is appreciates.

the other players are a healing focused cleric a gunslinger and a summoner


as the black blade gains enhancement bonuses increases do i get to chose how to spend the points or is it a generic +1 +2 ect?


with the recent death of one of my characters i was interested in playing a beast rider cavalier. but looking at the list of available mounts at level 4 none of them using the animal companion stats are large. what am i missing? how am i supposed to ride it?


im going to be playing in a party consisting of a priest(tome of secrets squishy healer) a synthesist summoner, a gunslinger and a spellslinger wizard(thats me)and a magus. its just getting started we are level 5. i have a nagging feeling that the party is missing something. id kinda like to optimize for my friends as they are more excited for their chars than me and my dm doesnt pull the punches so to speak. so what would you do mighty forum posters?

i like the emissary and beast rider cavalier if im reading right the archtypes work together id like to do something like that but im not sure.


like the title says im about to join a group that just started trial of the beast, it consists of a magus, a summoner, a cavalier, and a priest(3rd party tome of secrets). seems to be realitivly well rounded so im at a loss to what to add to this party. any advice is greatly appreciated. its 20 point buy and pretty much anything goes. tome of secrets is the only 3rd party thing allowed. so wise forum folks what would you add?


well in a few weeks time i need to get a 4th level character made. i got it in my head to play a dwarf druid. i know wildshape is a big deal and i intend to make use of it as needed but what i want to know is a level of figher worth it for the weapon/armor profeciencies(i want to wear stoneplate) or is the loss of the 1 level not worth it and should i just take a feat for armor proficiency?


like the title says im working on a summoner. my problem isnt with the eidolon its with the actual summoner itself.

we are using 25 pointbuy, are level 7(i only get 6th level gold+1k), id really like to stay a gnome if possible.

the question i run into is since im making my eidolon with a damage dealing focus what am i supposed to do with the actual summoner. shoot a crossbow once a turn and a few spell? it just seems a really passive playstyle i would like to come up with something a bit more active. sorry if its a little vague ill clear things up as i can. thanks in advance guys/gals!


as the title says im curious which route is better to go from a dpr standpoint. i like the flavor of both i just am at a loss to which is the biggest hitter
