That fair

It's just this paticlaur gm tends to throw over leveled over power enemiesat us, so such low Ac seems unsafe lol but I'll just have to see how it plays

Thanks. That helps clear a few things up

I'll talk to My GM to see if can work something out but I'll keep your armor suggestions as a back up plan

I have the idea of a a character who swords and boards with a Trident and Heavy shield

I know there is a trait that let's me treat my heavy shield as light weapon

I know Slayers don't have to meet Dex requirement for Two weapon fighting and I'd obviously need improved Shield Bash. But what else could I take and at what level?

My character will be a lightly armored swift moving Striker type
I want him to have good Acrobatics and table to maneuver around the battlefield quickly

Ok i have ask

What all is factor in to increase cost of my armor

I know material
I know size

Is magic bonus as well?

Trying to figure out the armor if I'm going Dragoon

Ok now knowing the cost of special material armors for my character

And considering the dragoon gives me armor training 1

Would A +3 Nimble fullplate be on any use?..

I put my dex mod at 3 ?

This was suggested to me

Would Dipping into Living Monolith be worth it to for me?

My Goal is To be able to cover as much ground as possible with what counts as an area I threaten.

The Dragoon dose look good
Those abilities seem nice and I am a spear fan.

I've Moved on from two handed fighter to polarm master and and am focues on Attacks of opportunity via 20ft reach with a Polearm (Lucrene hammer)

If you’re still concerned about AC, you may want to consider an archetype that does NOT give up Armor Training. That way you wouldn’t need Mithral to move at full speed (and get more Max Dex) in full plate.

Have you looked at a Dragoon with a Sash of the War Champion? Plenty of reach weapons in the Spear Group.

I'll take a look but I'm not sure how I feel about mounted combat

I mean I could just go Advance weapon and Armor training

Since I'm going for a reach build focus on AoO and Tripping

I could use some advice on my feats

Obviously combat Reflexes and improved and greater trip and something like stand still or Disruptive maybe lunge . Not sure what else

@Belafon

I've Moved on from two handed fighter to polarm master and and am focues on Attacks of opportunity via 20ft reach with a Polearm (Lucrene hammer)

Ok what I've been able to put together with everyone's help so far is this

Attributes
1. STR 18 + 6 Race = 24 Will use a Stat point from level 4 to boost it to 25
2. DEX 16 (18 with belt)
3. CON 14
4. INT 15 - 2 Race = 13 (Enough for combat expertise)
5. WIS 12 - 2 Race = 10
6. CHA 10 - 2 Race = 8

I plan to take the Advice and go reach weapon and combat Reflexes

I'm not sure it's it's the most optimal but I like the look of pole-arm master for it's bonus on AOOs

Planning to use a Lucerne hammer ( Might make it Adamantine not sure)

Ill use the +2 Fitting Mithral Four Mirror Armor Taja the Barbarian suggested unless I can talk my gm in to something better

As for other items I plan to start with a + 2 Belt of dex and a +1 Amulet of natural armor

As well as a +1 Cloak of resistance

For my feats I plan to go with combating of combat Reflexes lunge improve trip greater trip Iron Will improved Initiative and either stand still or Disruptive

I also was thinking of grabbing defender of society as a trait to boost my Ac by 1

@ Taja the Barbarian

Thanks for putting in the work to figure this out. I appreciate it.

I'll try ti figure out what one fits best for my character .

Also you mentioned the idea of me getting a belt to increase my Dex.

Would it be better to trade in either ring of protection or the Amulet of Natural Armor to get back 2000 and then buy a belt of dex

Considering it should still boost my ac the same but add to my reflex save and my initiative?

Ok ya I'll talk to my Gm see if I can work something out

But for future reference for mem what part of Armor is costing me more?

The type?
The material?
The magic bonus?

Not sure I completely understand

Ok I talked to my Gm and I am going Move Toward AoO build that was mention in this thread.

With 46000 GP

I want a +3 Adamnatine Lucerne hammer

And put the rest in boosting saves and Armor class

How high can I get my Ac with what left of my gold
Likes is a +3

My trox will have 16 dex and I like to try to Benfit from that if possible or if not do a the best armor I can get with decent magic bonus

I guess I'll ask what is highest i can get my Ac with my character race and size and what gold I'd have left after my weapon is bought

Can some tell me if these numbers are correct?

Mithral Breastplate +3

Base cost: 200 gp
Mithral cost modifier: +1,500 gp
Total base cost: 1,700 gp
Large/non-humanoid multiplier: x4
Adjusted base cost: 6,800 gp
+3 enhancement cost: 9,000gp
Total cost: 15,800gp
AC bonus: +6 (breastplate) +3 (enhancement) = +9

@ Taja the Barbarian

My stats to start before Adjusting for race are

18,16,15,14,12,10

How would you suggest i do them?

@ Azothath

Wait there An penalty for size?....i mean i guess it makes since bigger targets are in theory easier to hi.

I will be playing a Trox and i think there is a Dex penalty due to my size are at least that what i can see on line

So the character im building Is fighter with 14 Dex
I am large size (14 Dex is after the -2 Due to size)

My question is what all dose having a Armor that dose not support my Dex Effect? I know I don't get my full dex Bonus to Ac but dose it effect my saves , my skill anything else ?

so if my math is right my weapon cost 18365 of my 46000 starting wealth

Meaning I have

27,653 is what i have left

With the increase cost of my Armor Due to Race and Size im not sure what do. should I go for a lower AC but try to make up for it with other Gear.?

with that said should i focus on upping my saves and Maybe Grabbing A Dex Or con boosting belt as well

or for my Armor Should I Say no to my Dex and Grab Like The highest Enchantment Adamantine Breast plate Have lower AC but some Damage Reduction as well

Also What i better of going Another archetype. and if so what one?

@ you know What? Think a Trox with a scorpion whip might be a Boss in The home game I am Slowly putting together . that actually sounds very fun.

@ Belafon. Eh want for high Ac is just a knee jerk reaction to playing in this particulars Gms Games . they tend to be high power and some times even mid 30 AC is not enough.

i guess maybe I could shore on my defense in a different way

I honestly Didn't know about extra cost do to my race

I guess maybe having What is consider good Armor class for my level and class would be nice .

these where my items before learning of extra cost of my armor

not to sure what to change around.....

Yes I'm starting level 7 with a large impact Butchering. Axe and going vital strike as my main plan

I have 46000 gold spend and my axe is like 21065. I think
Including material cost

I'd like Advice on my other equipment with what I have left to spend

I need help optimizing my Feats and gear

I'm planning to go 2Handed Fighter (All Ready Locked this in witu the GM and going with A Falacata as My main weapon

I am playing a trox cause it's what I rolled on the GM Rebirth table for us

I also start aa with a wealth = To a 9th level character as O rolled noble on his Social tale

I know power attack and weapon Focus/ Spec I want but not sure what would be best

As for item I know its want a keen falcata and enough TO set my Ac to 25 even after the penalty di size and such and anything else that I might need

My stats before racial Adjustments

STR 18
DRX 16
CON 16
INT 12
WIS 10
CHA 8

I'm looking at playing a Tefling with the expanded Fiendish resistance feat to start grabbing Acid so I have resistance 5 to Acid Cold electric Fire

I'm either playing a BARBARIAN (Invulnerable Rager)

Or fighter Advance armor & weapon training

If I go fighter I plan to go with Adamantine full plate

I'll fight using a great Axe (Will probally spend the feat to get improved crit when I can

My main problem as I'm mapping out the fighters version feats I am not sure what feats to take after a while

Feats
LV1 Expanded Fiendish Acid 5
FB weapon Focus great Axe
FB power Attack
LV3 Furious Focus
FB weapon Spec Great Axe
LV5 ????
FB. ????
LV7 ????

What should I take for my last 3 feats

I'll have 18 in STR 16 in con and 14 INT 16 wis and 12 cha

The human fcb for paladin is +1 energy resist to a specific type. Did the aasimar you are recalling have "pass for human?"

Maybe. It's been a while

I was building for fun and Aasmir Invunwrable ranger to see what stats and numbers would like to add it to possible future characters and waa wondering if by level 5 how hardy and able to take damage my "Angry Angel would be

I at one point remember seeing a trait or maybe a feat that improves a character existing energy resistance or maybe it was like it gave 1 point of each type of energy resistance .

I screw together but never played a Aasmir paladin who had like 5 resistance to each Element.

Trying to find that feature again

Beside the Obvious fighter for the pure amount of feats I'd get

What is a good class / Archtype for a strong hardy dwarf whom uses a war-Axe and a sheid

Not sure if he'd shield bash or just use the shield for defense

I'm kinda all fighter out at moment but want to play an atypical dwarf who is like moving fortress

Ideally some way to get DR / and energy resistance would be cool

Ok so I think I'm go with the build Belafon
Mention.

Going as Human exploiter wizard
Taking the feats Belafon suggested

Could I get feat suggestions for me up to my 7th level?

@ Taja the Barbarian that dose not seem half bad
Getting my caster level up wouod be a good thing I think

@ Azothath ya I figured I'd want a few spells with Power behind them
I just want MM to be my bread and butter

@ Belafon Ya that helps out a lot. Seeing what I need feat and trait wise

@ I grok do u dually noted about the dispel
Also all those seem decently fun

If i want to build around MM what of the caater classes would be best. What one would allow me to bring some versatility with the spell the best

I don't plan to only use that spell but it would be my main spell ..
My go to for combat

I'd like to realy on the fact that for the most part the spell doesn't miss so I'd like to take meta magic feats that would add effects to the misses like tripping or dazing a foe etc etc .

@ MrCharisma

The idea is two use the katana as a two handed weapon with a high crit chance.

Do you know if the bonus from spells such as Devine favor get doubled on a crit ?

I grok do u

Tempered champion looks good

How do obedience work. I never used them before in Pathfinder.

I need some build advice

I got a level 5 character to build and want to play a paladin who deals heavy damage via smite evil with high crit weapon, really want my paladin to use a Katana as. Y main weapon

I am looking for advice on what Arcntype too play
I want to focues more on the Laying the pain on my foes and would be willing give up most anything of the original class aside from saving throw bonus and the Smite evil of course.

I would prefer no mount as well

Also beside power attack and improved crit when I'm able to take it
Is there any specific feats I could take for my character being paladin.
That would improved my damage or attack over all or buff my defensive.

I want my character to deal out pain via Two handing a katana . Taking advantage of the weapons wide threat range and the fact that I'd be getting 1 & 1/2 Strengh mode and power Attack.

I want to go fighter but currently am one in my current game

So looking for a class that can wear full plate. And can take advantage of how I want to fight

Not sure if any other class would have class abilities to pair wwll

I plan to run a dungeon adventure and I'm looking at creating unique items as treasures in each dugeon

1 is an old tattered and worn grimore that will teach a new Spell

I want it to be flavorful balanced but still useful

My idea is a cone based attack that inflicts 1D6 points of damage per caster level max 15D6 inflicting slashing damage that over comes both magic and slashing DR and must be casted with a slashing weapon in hand as part of the cost . A non magical.weapon shatters on activation of the spell. But if used with a magical weapon there is an additonal effect, anything that takes damage from spell suffers bleed damage = To crit multiplier of weapon used as focus for the spell.

I know its nothing major but I'd like to work it out as a 4th level spell not sure the school

I plan to create several custom spells and items as relics from the worlds Long forgotten past and special rewards for the players

So we are starting of at level 3

We have 2 players

Myself a path of war fighter who is using archery as his form of combat

And my friend who is playing s Sohere of power
Doomblade.

Are Gm sat a spefic rule we can start with any items 10 gold are less as many different items as we want but besides my bow (Non magic Short bow) no item can be worth more than 10 gold on its own

So i can get a list of cheap items that be help for us?

@ Anyone

Could I get a sample of a level 3 Bravo paladin who uses bladed brush with comat patrol / Trip emphasis ?

My fellow player wants to for got is normal Bardic party face style character he often plays and wants to try his hand at being a Tank type character. And the GM as asked me to help him with his build.

We be starting. At level 3 Human only 15 point buy

I know how I'd build it but would like a few suggestions on Class and feats to see if there anything i didn't think of.

Path of war is allowed

My thoughts where Fighter or Paladin or maybe warder from Pow.

I'm a fan of the mobile bulwark line but not user if my friend wants to wait till he can afford a towershield

We don't have gold to start but we can start with any item that cost 10GP or less

So I'm thinking of building my ninja around Ninja stars but need to know a few things before I fully commit to the build

Can I trigger sneak attack with the two extra attacks.

If not then what is point of this ability

At 1D2 per hit i just don't see the use unless it dose.

in no particular order

Vanishing Trick
Flurry of Stars
Invisible Blade
Ghost Step
Evasion
Improved Evasion
Shadow Clone

If you are doing TWF, then you want Piranha Strike.

Can you give me a example of a build using the the catfolk claws

So with the help of My GM I've settle on a catfolk Ninja

The game is 15 point buy and I'm thinking the following for stats

Str 10
Dex 16 (Stat boost at level 4 calculated in)
Con 13
INT 10 (8 Skill point per level + Favored class Bonus skill points i think should do)
Wis 8
Cha 16

My character is gonna focues on being sneaky and infiltrating and maybe run and hit tatics
I want of course their stealth abilities to be high and for them to be decent at Disguise checks

I plan for him to fight with two kamas for he dose not have claws of his own

Obviously I know that means TWF and I guess I'll need weapon Finesse but I'm not so sure on his last feat

And as for Ninja Trick probally going with vanishing Trick at 2nd level but not sure about his 4th level Trick.

I have to agree with Java Man. Slayers are full BAB class with a decent number of skills. You can use slayer talents to get trapfinding and ranger combat style. Studied Target gives you a bonus on a lot of skills including perception and sense motive, and to both hit and damage. You also get sneak attack and can the feat Acomplished Sneak Attacker to increase the number of dice. You have two good saves vs the one for the rogue. Because of picking up two weapon fighting feats as a Ranger Bonus feat you ignore the prerequisites. Which means you don’t need to max out your DEX.

The increased BAB means you get your iterative attacks sooner. By 6th level a Slayer can be getting 4 attacks with his daggers. The unchained rouge will not be able to this until 8th level.

That sounds cool would it be possible to build it around the rope dart weapon

I'm thinking of taking equipment trick rope and fainting at range with it and using in and out of battle

Up date Thinking of going unchained rogue and using a rope-dart

What's a good set for feats and talents ?

Still level 5

Level 5 character

He is an Unnamed Elf. Tan skin but Not Drow
He is tall with well toned muscles. He is very agile and is an expert at stealth and hit and run tactics. He uses daggers to fight and normally has two main daggers along with several other (Not enchanted or such) along his arms waist and legs for throwing

I want him to feel like he belongs in the wild but also want him to be the part trap expert for disarming such things and good to have in a dungeon

I plan to take racial feature Fey sighted to get constant Dect Magic.

I want him to have a runic eye patch over his left eye for an air of mystery

Hell be call as well 6FT2

I'll probably dump cha but I do want to focus on dew and have a positive con and wis mod as I his perception skills to be fairly respectable

I'm thinking of playing a Samsarans Magus and would like Advice on spells from my past life as I'm going with the Mystic Past Life feature .

I'm starting at level 5 and not sure what would be a fun but useful class to have been my past life

go-to feats that arent needed all the time, but when you need them they really matter

rat catcher
Ghostslayer
Dedicated Adversary
Blind Fighting

Thanks ill keep those in mind

I Know most of the range combat feats i could take. played several Archers in past

Do You have any suggestion for combat Manuvers related feats ?

Besides the obvious Improved & Greater feats ?

I'd like to figure out combinations of feats to grab with my Martial Flexibility

I am level 5 and took dirty fighting at first level I want to have a good trip tree and a good grapple tree maybe 3ven a good Disarm tree to grab

I know I have just the beginning of Martial flex but I'd like to have some planned out

Any other feat / feat combos idea to grab would be cool as well

I have a up coming game in a few weeks and could use a bit of Advice

I will be playing a Barbrian who uses the rules from sphere of might
He will be Two weapon fighting with a pair of bearded battle axes

I want him to be able to do some sort of combat Manuver(S) with said weapon . I'm thinking Disarm , perhaps reposition or maybe Trippimg

Could I get some input on how I should go about it?

The axes are a Boon my character will start with and the Gm will tweak them based on my build

All my feats are free to use as I am using the sphere of might to Twp weapon fight

Hello

I want to know if over 10 levels my character concept could be pulled off

I'd like to craft a swashbuckler Who in place of using a man made weapon he fights using piercing unarmed strikes

I could see him with either levels of brawler or in monk

But not to sure if it's just to much of a gimic
And would be lack luster.
