A fighter can be built to do more than fight. It is just that most people don't do it. He won't be as skilled as a rogue, but to say all he has going for him is damage is far from true.

Ok, it's true, but the primary function of the fighter is to do damage. That the rogue do rougly 80% that the fighter damage is not a bad thing, more if we only view sneak attacks and no other abilities.

The rogue is much more anemic. Assuming flanking and that he has +5 sword of subtlety with a haste effect like speeding or boots of speed, with the same 30 Dex and we'll say 14 strength:

+15 (bab) +1 (Dex)+5 (weapon enhancement)+4 (subtlety)-2 (two weapon fighting) +1 (weapon focus)

Meaning: +24/+24/+24/+19/+19/+14/+14

For:
1d6 +2 (strength) +5 (enhancement) +4 (subtlety) +10d6

puts him at 11d6+11, or an average of 47.5 damage per hit.

Meaning he has: +24/+24/+24/+19/+19/+14/+14 (1d6+11+10d6 17~20/x2)

He has less swings, hits...

+15 (bab) +10(Dex) +5 (weapon enhancement) +4 (subtlety) -2 (two weapon fighting) +1 (weapon focus)+ 1 haste +2 flanking -4 piranha

So
+30/+30/+30/+25/+25/+20/+20

and if we add agile in the sword of subtlety.

Damage:
1d6 +10 (Dex) +5 (enhancement) +4 (subtlety) +8/4 piranha +10d6
65.5/61.5 (96/88) on critical hit.

Why Skilled cost 4 points and Advanced Intelligence only 4, the second is more important for anything (languages, skills, skills modifiers, abilities rolls, spellcasting, etc)?

I dunno, generally a wider crit range is better for your average damage than a smaller range with a higher multiplier.

That doesn't apply to the falcata since is has a wide crit range as well as a high multiplier.

Average Bonus Damage through critical hits:
20/x2 - 5%
20/x3 - 10%
20/x4 - 15%
19-20/x2 - 10%
18-20/x2 - 15%
19-20/x3 - 20%

Improved Critical doubles this numbers. It's not totally accurate since it doesn't take into account bonuses on confirmation rolls or the inability to hit on each threat.
Usually I'd prefer a weapon with a higher threat range to one with a higher multiplier, but there is no weapon comparable to a falcata. If there was a 17-20/x2 weapon I'd probably take it, but there isn't.

Not necessarily true, take this example:

Kensai Magus:

Normal:
Falcata(F): 19-20 x3 +20%
Katana (K): 18-20 x2 +15%

With perfect strike critical augment:
F: 19-20 x4 +30%
K: 18-20 x3 +30%

With Improved Critical:
F: 17-20 x3 +40%
K: 15-20 x2 +30%

With Improved Critical and Perf. Strike:
F: 17-20 x4 +60%
K: 15-20 x3 +60%

With Improved Critical, Perf. Strike and Weapon Mastery:
F: 17-20 x5 +80%
K: 15-20 x4 +90%

So, almost in any case are equal or a slight advantage of the falcata until lvl 20, but any spell is better with the katana thanks the greater crit range.

An animal companion of a druid can have an AC of 60 more or less. So 47 CA for an Alchemist is no that great.

Without a feat or some kind of special version of the Bracers, no. All equipment carried or worn is absorbed into your form and does not function.

Not all your equipment, constant bonuses like Belt of P. Perfection, Headbands, ring of protection or the Necklace of NA remain active while you are in your animal form.

What happend if you select as your 1st feat the fiendish heritage of PF #25, and you chose the 'Demon-Spawn Tiefling'. You will have the +2 charisma and a +2 if you are a abysal or infernal sorcerer?

I don't tink that it's a bad PC, excuse my english, i tried to explain the best way.

Well if you have Double Slice and Power attack and two light weapons compared to a greatsword:

2 light weapons = {1d6 + Str bonus + Power Attack bonus (+2, +2 per 4 BAB)} x 2
= 2d6 + (2xStr bonus) + (4, +4 per 4 BAB)

1 great sword = 2d6 + (1.5xStr Bonus) + Power Attack (+3, +3 per 4 BAB)

In fact is:

2 light weapons = {1d6 + Str bonus + Power Attack bonus (+2, +2 per 4 BAB)} + {1d6 + Str bonus + Power Attack bonus (+1, +1 per 4 BAB)}

This is awesome, I'm going to add an evil bard playing pipe organs into my next session. Hmm, where can I put a pipe organ :(

And he will play this?

Check the feat he's building to. Aldori Dueling Mastery requires Dex 17 and Weapon Finesse.

You only need the belt of phisical perfection. If Valeros has Greater Two Weapon Fighting without the necesary dexterity , you can surpass the necesary requirement with the item too.

Try a build with a Tengu Inquisitor of Nethys (destruction domain).

Dragon Disciple: medium BAB, 2 good saves, loses 3 casting levels

Blood of the Dragons: Read, you should be a sorcerer with the dragon bloodline for this class...it's the best thing for your. It's good, it lets your prc levels stack with your sorcerer levels for your bloodline abilities....nice

Natural Armor Increase is good...+3 nat ac..can't complain there

Ability Boost ok, you get +4 Str...your a sorcerer who cares, +2 Con that's good more hp, +2 Int....good for skill points but not much else, remember to get the most out of this class you are a sorcerer so you need Cha not Int.

If you are a melee gish, a Bard 12 / Dragon Disciple 8 or a Paladin 2 / Sorcerer 4 / Dragon Disciple 4 / Eldritch Knight 10 will use that Ability Boost.

In some way, i think too that the EK is missing something, a class ability that cannot be cloned by any other class, like spell channel, better AC spell.

The only mechanical question I have, is why is it that the caster's primary attribute is Wisdom and not Charisma, since it's a spontaneous caster?

The Paladin isn't a spontaneous caster and uses Charisma.

i seriously recommend you just grab 2 levels of fighters and use the trait that let you increase your CL up to your HD.

stuff.....

yeah, you need 5 feats to be less stat dependent, while the thug over there with his greatsword will have power attack, vital strike, step up, WF, WE, and will not have a horrible -2 to all attacks.

Ah... I almost forget, he can attack with his greatsword in a AoO or in an standar action, while the TWF guy will only use his primary weapon.

if you don't care about 4 caster levels, try Paladin 2 / Sorcerer 4 / DD 4 / Eldritch knight 10

I can tell you that a 2-H full BAB guy is going to do just as much damage as a TWF full BAB guy with a bunch of TWF feats. In fact, usually he'll do more.

If there is some independant damage (like Favored enemy, Sneak attack, or smite evil) that can turn the tide.

In general though, TWF isn't so hot.

Check out the DPR thread for some mathematical comparisons.

As for the THF vs. TWF debate, the former unquestionably outclasses the latter, unless you HR in a feat that allows for combining multiple attacks to overcome DR and also allow doubling of all iterative attacks once TWF is bought. Otherwise, the feat-cost is just too darned high. A Dex. fighter should probably go the Dodge/Mobility/Spring Attack route in that case IMHO, remaining light on their feet, preferable with some Rogue multi-class to gain Sneak Attacks.

FWIW,

Rez

I had done a Inquisitor using 20PB that does 3xx to 5xx in a full attack with 2 Scimitars ( it's an example ), it's not completly created with a formula, but he has +43/+43/+38/+33 ( i think ) to his attacks.

Improved Weapon Finesse, dex to damage with finesseable weapons and a Dead Eye feat like the listed in the Dragon Compendium

Granted it is a capstone ability but as written Supreme Charge stacks with Spirited Charge so the lance attack would be five times the normal damage. Seems pretty powerful but if this was the intent then I am fine with it. Just wanted to make sure Supreme Charge stacks with Spirited Charge.

Doug

Supreme Charge (Ex): At 20th level, whenever the cavalier

The damage will be:

· 2 times with lance
· 3 times with lance and Supreme charge
· 4 times with lance, Supreme charge and Spirited charge
· 6 times with lance, Supreme charge, Spirited charge and a critical hit

Planar Sheepard (time abuse)
Incantrix (persist abuse and pre-epic feat)
Mistyc Theurge with Ur-Priest and Sublime Chord
Initiate of the Seven Veils (defense)

Swiftblade (the only Prc that can lost caster levels)
Abjurant Champion (not so broken, but it's better than 5 levels of wizard)

But there are others like:

What is the effect of this spell on a character with STR 18? 22 or 26?

No, Increasing intelligence doesn't grant retroacive skill points.

Constitution (Con)

Constitution represents your character's health and stamina. A Constitution bonus increases a character's hit points, so the ability is important for all classes. Some creatures, such as undead and constructs, do not have a Constitution score. Their modifier is +0 for any Constitution-based checks. A character with a Constitution score of 0 is dead.

You apply your character's Constitution modifier to:

* Each roll of a Hit Die (though a penalty can never drop a result below 1—that is, a character always gains at least 1 hit point each time he advances in level).
* Fortitude saving throws, for resisting poison, disease, and similar threats.

If a character's Constitution score changes enough to alter his or her Constitution modifier, the character's hit points also increase or decrease accordingly.

Intelligence (Int)

Intelligence determines how well your character learns and reasons. This ability is important for wizards because it affects their spellcasting ability in many ways. Creatures of animal-level instinct have Intelligence scores of 1 or 2. Any creature capable of understanding speech has a score of at least 3. A character with an Intelligence score of 0 is comatose. Some creatures do not possess an Intelligence score. Their modifier is +0 for any Intelligence-based skills or checks.

You apply your character's Intelligence modifier to:

* The number of bonus languages your character knows at the start of the game. These are in addition to any starting racial languages and Common. If you have a penalty, you can still read and speak your racial languages unless your Intelligence is lower than 3.
* The number of skill points gained each level, though your character always gets at least 1 skill point per level.
* Appraise, Craft, Knowledge, Linguistics, and Spellcraft checks.

A wizard gains bonus spells based on his Intelligence score. The minimum Intelligence score needed to cast a wizard spell is 10 + the spell's level.

Can somebody explain this armor?: mithral full plate of speed

Dex 20

Greater Two-Weapon Fighting
Belt of physical perfection +2

So now you can select the feats without the base requisite thanks magic items, or Jason lowered the requisite of TWF (14, 16, 18).

I think that this rule needs a change to be like the abilities one. 1's not is a always fail and a natural 20 not a always success.

I seriously considered what there was in core to offer Eldritch Knight. I have to agree it's sort of lacking. AC will tend to be low, and to hit bonus will suffer a lot (fighters will have about +5 more to hit by 12th level and 5-6 more AC).

Here's an idea I've been mulling around. Note that if you follow the fighter's progression assuming entry with Wizard 5/Fighter 1 you'll see the pattern.

1: Channel 1/day (as for spellsword)
2: 10% ignore arcane spell failure
3: Channel 2/day
4: Weapon training (as fighters)
5: Channel 3/day
6: 20% ignore arcane spell failure
7: Channel 4/day
8: Weapon training
9: Channel 5/day
10: Spell critical

Same casting progression, saves and all that.

In the grand scheme of things, I don't think Diverse Training offers much. I can't find anything that has prerequisites of raw wizard or sorceror levels, and I have mixed feelings on access to fighter-only feats.

If we wanted to go a very spellsword direction...

Change the requirements to include Weapon Focus (any martial weapon)

1: Channel 1/day, weapon specialization
2: 10% ignore arcane spell failure
3: Channel 2/day
4: Weapon training
5: Channel 3/day
6: 20% ignore arcane spell failure
7: Channel 4/day
8: Weapon training
9: Channel 5/day
10: Spell critical

[u]Weapon Specialization[/u]: Gain Weapon Specialization with the martial weapon you chose with Weapon Focus, channeling can only be performed with this type of weapon.

This is a great idea, and the requirement of Weapon focus is fine.

For full attack as part of a move, with a min 5ft step between each attack, please consider the one and only "Dervish" PrC from complete warrior... it's a two-weapon fighter's wet dream (due to the blood from his enemies, kinda wet... I meant... gettitouttathegutter you sickos!)

:)

Fighter 5 / Dervish 10 / Tempest 5 IS the two-weapon fighter's wet dream. Scimitar + Improved critical = Blood. =D

Hi,

If someone has the two weapon fighting feat, does he have to use a full attack to be able to attack with both weapons? Or is it just a standard action.
Thanks.

Still need to use the full attack to use the first attack of each hand.

MAGIC ITEM CREATION
To create magic items, spellcasters use special feats, which
allow them to invest time and money into an item’s creation.
At the end of this process, the spellcaster must make a single
skill check (usually Spellcraft, but sometimes other skills) to
f inish the item. If an item type has multiple possible skills,
you choose which skill to make the check with. The DC to
create a magic item is 5 + the listed minimum caster level
for the item . Failing this check means that the item does not
function and the materials and time are wasted. Failing this
check by 5 or more results in a cursed item (see Cursed Items
for more information).

Only a 5+minimum caster level??? Any wizard with half a brain will be able to complete any magical item.

Why only the Loremaster has spells known every level that he gain, and the others PrC don't. It's a big difference between the sorcerer and bard against the wizard, because he can learn every spell from scrolls.

Why the arcane trickster have a good will save and a +1 spellcaster level and no the Eldritch Knight?

I have always loved the idea of a Fighter / Mage type character, but was left a little flat with the Eldritch Knight in 3.5. Paizo has done a great job in revitializing it, but it still has too many dead levels. On another thread, a poster Majuba suggested these new requirements to enter the Prestige Class :

Base Attack Bonus : +4
Spells : Must be able to Cast 2nd Level Arcane Spells
Special : Must be proficient with All Martial Weapons

I think these requirements are much better, allowing a fighter 3 / Wizard 3 or sorcerer 4 progression to qualify.

Now, as for the dead levels, here are my suggestions :

Arcane Aegis ( Su ) : At 2nd Level, any time the Eldritch Knight casts an Abjuration Spell that grants an Armor or Shield Bonus to AC, he can increase the value of the Bonus by +1. This Bonus increases every 2 Levels ( +2 at 4th Level, +3 at 6th Level, +4 at 8th Level and finally +5 at 10th Level. ).

Arcane Smite : At 4th Level, an Eldritch Knight can use a Standard Action to cast any Touch Spell he knows and can deliver the Spell through his weapon with a melee attack. Casting a Spell in this manner does not provoke an Attack of Opportunity. The Spell must have a Casting Time of 1 Standard Action or less. If the melee attack is successful, the attack deals Damage normally, then the effect of the Spell is resolved. Doing so discharges the Spell at the end of the Round, in the case of a Touch Spell that would otherwise last longer than 1 Round.

Extended Aegis ( Su ) : At 6th Level, the Eldritch Knight doubles the Duration of any Abjuration Spell that grants an Armor or Shield Bonus to AC, as if he applied the Extend Spell Metamagic Feat to them ( but without any change in Level or Casting time ).

Swift Aegis ( Su ) : Beginning at 8th Level, the Eldritch Knight can cast any Abjuration Spell that grants an Armor or Shield Bonus to AC as a Swift Action, as if he had applied the Quicken Spell Metamagic Feat to them ( but without any change in level ). The Maximum Level of Spell you can Quicken in...

Well somebody starts to think about the EK. I'd like the abilities for the dead levels. He reminds me the spellsword, but the arcane smite only works with touch spells.

Also, as Kae Yoss noted in another post, the number of total spell levels a Sorcerer has is still superior to the number of total spell levels a Wizard has.

Sorcerer = 6+12+18+24+30+36+42+48+54= 270 spell levels
Wizard = 14+10+15+16+25+30+35+40+45= 230 spell levels

I don't understand this formula, can explain it better?

The only thing that bothers me is that the Universalist gains the same number of spells than a Specialist...

The specialist should gain 1/4 of his caster level for the 1st spell level, and the universalist any bonus spell.

In 3.5 a universalist only have 4 spells per orb level, only the specialist has 1 slot more.

So a 20 lvl wizard in Prpg have 14/5/5/5/5/5/5/5/5 spell slots. Why should i play a Sorcerer?

Hi guille!

XP penalties do not exist anymore under Pathfinder RPG - no problem there. Also Prestige classes never invoked XP penalties.

Ok, that change everything, thank you for the info.

I think that the new EK needs a few class features to go in parallel with the other two classes, perhaps a fusion with the spellsword (Complete Warrior page 79-80)?

15th level Fighter: Look at me! I have a +4 to my AC from my Armor Mastery ability!

15th level Eldritch Knight: Sorry, I didn't hear you. I was too busy casting awesome spells like Mirror Image, Blink, Greater Magic Weapon and Greater Invisibility.

What build you suppose? Fig X / Wiz Y / EK Z. And which race? Because the maximum lvl is 10 for the EK and a bad configuration of class lvls will cause a lot of trouble with the XP.

A Wiz 5 / Fig 1 / EK 9 (it's the minimal lvl req) will have a 20% Xp (or 40% if you don't have as prefered class a Fig, Wiz or EK) penalize if you continue lvling.

PD: I'd rather Bestow Curse.

In 3.5 the Eldritch Knight obtains almost full spell progression and a bonus combat feat, but the main classes (wizard and fighter) only gains combat feats for the fighter and spells and few feats for the wizard. The 3.5 EK was a good PrC to multi classing because you can be a fine fighter with a good spell repertory.

Now the EK obtain almost the same bonuses: 2 more combat feats, the same spell progression, a better HD (thank paizo) (d6 -> d10), a poor good save, diverse trining, and a lvl 10 ability that can't be used in conjunction with arcane armor feats, dodge, etc, but the fighter now obtains a +5/+4/+3/+2/+1 to BAB and damage with his weapons groups, a +4 to his AC / max dex while using armor and a bonus to will save , and the wizard gains all his school powers and abilities and bonus spells.

I think that the new EK needs a few class features to go in parallel with the other two classes, perhaps a fusion with the spellsword (Complete Warrior page 79-80)?

As for fixing armor, mithril platemail with twilight special ability and both arcane armor training feats gets you no arcane spell failure.

Yes but AAT needs a swift action to be used, This eliminate the lvl 10 EK ability.

Eldritch Knight maybe?
Oh, but the lvl10 ability also require a swift action, then yes, nobody will take these feats.
