Multi-Class: Let's have fun!

[Salarain]

Howdy everyone;
The GM has task you to create new character with 18 levels and the stats are 2x18's, 17, 16, 15, and 14 any creature type(no Drows). Here is what is require to do; the character has to have at least 2 or more classes. Please explain why you chosen the creation of that form.

The Task:

1. multi-class or dual-class,

2. 18 levels

3 the starting stats are 2x18, 17,16, 15, and 14.

4. Any type of Creature but no Drows

5. Why you have chosen this Path?

Please keep in mind, this thread is to have fun with and creative. :D

[Sean FitzSimon]

At least 2 classes, right? Is there any specific level investments that you need to make (at least 5, etc) or is it just more than 1 class? Because most builds can benefit heavily from a single level dip into another class without really being a "multiclass" build.

Clerics can dip for weapon/armor proficiencies, wizards can dip rogue for skills and trapfinding, sorcerers can dip paladin for bonuses to saves, druids can dip ranger for access to feats normally unavailable to them, etc.

[Gambit]

Strangely enough, people on the Paizo forums generally dont enjoy participating in activities like this very much, they prefer to argue about how stealth doesnt work, how monks suck, and how alignment isnt realistic.

If this was posted on the old 3.5 CharOp board back in the day, you would of had 20-30 responses already.

Are you wanting full characters including WBL and magic items, or just a build of classes and feats by level?

God, I miss those days. CharOp is all but dead now.

[Aeron Vilman]

while not following the OPs premise, this character does show what multiclassing can do (he'd be more powerful with the OPs build)

[Thalin]

Too much work / thinking. While I'd love for other people to make creations for this, I don't want to personally take that kind of time :).

[Steven T. Helt]

I can't do it right now, but I am in. Questions I need answered include:

multibase classes? do you want no prestige classes at all, or does a base class and a prestige class work for your purposes?

as asked above, is there a minimum investment in a class?

I'm bringing some bad guys the pain. Back later tonight. : }

Yes you can pick up a Prestige. The Cash flow you have access to is 530,000 gp.

I am adding more to the task on this thread.

I would hazard a guess the jab was due to those annoying threads sitting in the top 10 list for the past month. They are stale and moldy but people won't let them die.

[Kerney]

Unoffical contests like this, if we organized them and ran them on a regular basis, say, every six weeks like the old master GM's competitions would be a way to get noticed. Perhaps if we had a way to set up an entry fee to set up a prize, say $2, like a paizo gift certificate, it might work.

[Stabbington P. Carvesworthy]

Alright, I'll give this a try. As a disclaimer, my build choices required me to do a lot of this by hand, so there are probably errors (hopefully not too many though).

That being said, on to the build:

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Redirection (Ex) At 1st level, as an immediate action, a flowing monk can attempt a reposition or trip combat maneuver against a creature that the flowing monk threatens and that attacks him. If the combat maneuver is successful, the attacker is sickened for 1 round (Reflex DC 21 to halve the duration), plus 1 additional round at 4th level and for every four levels afterward (to a maximum of 6 rounds at 20th level). The monk gains a +2 bonus on the reposition or trip combat maneuver check and the save DC for redirection increases by 2 if the attacker is using Power Attack or is charging when attacking him. The benefit increases to a +4 bonus and an increase of the saving throw by 4 if both apply.
Unbalancing Counter (Ex) At 2nd level, a flowing monk’s attacks of opportunity render a struck creature flat-footed until the end of the flowing monk’s next turn (Reflex DC 21 negates).
Flowing Dodge (Ex) At 3rd level, a flowing monk gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC for each enemy adjacent to him, up to a maximum bonus equal to his Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
Elusive Target (Ex) At 5th level, as an immediate action, a flowing monk may spend 2 points from his ki pool to attempt a Reflex save opposed by an attacker’s attack roll to halve damage from that attack. At 11th level and above, the flowing monk suffers no damage on a successful save, or half damage on a failed save. If the attacker is flanking the monk, the flanking opponent who is not attacking becomes the target of the attack. Use the same attack roll, and if the attack hits the new target, that creatures takes half damage (or full damage if the attack is completely avoided). Any associated effects from the attack (such as bleed, poison, or spell effects) apply fully even if the attack deals only half damage.
Close Control (Ex) At 2nd level, a brawler becomes skilled at forcefully moving his opponent around the battlefield. The brawler gains a +1 bonus on bull rush, drag, and reposition combat maneuver checks. The brawler also gains a +1 bonus to CMD when attacked with the bull rush, drag, and reposition maneuvers. These bonuses increase by +1 for every four levels after 2nd (to a maximum of +5 at 18th level).
Close Combatant (Ex) At 3rd level, a brawler gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +3 bonus on damage rolls with weapons in the close weapon group. Both of these bonuses increase by +1 for every four levels beyond 3rd (to a maximum of +5 on attack rolls and +7 on damage rolls at 19th level).
Menacing Stance (Ex) At 7th level, a brawler constantly harries and distracts his enemies. While adjacent to the brawler, enemies take a –1 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty on concentration checks. These penalties increase by 1 for every four levels after 7th level (to a maximum of –4 on attack rolls and –7 on concentration checks at 19th level). Creatures do not take these penalties if the brawler is dazed, helpless, staggered, stunned, or unconscious.
No Escape (Ex) At 9th level, taking a 5-foot step out of the area of a brawler’s menacing stance or moving out of the area of a brawler’s menacing stance with a withdraw action provokes an attack of opportunity from the brawler.

The Justification:

Though this is not the strongest CR 17 build I have ever seen, I think that it is a solid one (especially for a BBEG). This is a build that could stand toe-to-toe with an equal level party, at least for a few rounds. Half-elf was an obvious choice for the 2 favored classes, and as a front-liner with half of his levels at d8, this is almost a requirement. The Brawler fighter benefits synergize nicely with the unarmed monkishness. The lack of clean escape options helps with those hit-and-run types. The brawler also brings a nice front-loaded hit/damage bonus that can't be ignored and fighter feats/weapon spec helps the DPS here.

The Qinggong flowing monk part, I believe, makes this really shine. Barkskin (as an 80 min. buff) is awesome, as is the feather step ability (which allows you to ignore difficult terrain). Gaseous form is an exceptional (if costly) method for dealing with problems that don't have a direct solution. Specifically, this allows for a quick escape from combat, as well as a quick escape from the dreaded Grapplebarian (tm). Under the right circumstances, this build can generate a LOT of AOOs. Redirection, Greater Trip, and Snake Fang are your best friends, and those AOOs have the added benefit of making the target flat-footed. Add in the bleed damage from the boar style feats, the ability to alter your damage type to any of the 3, and the Sense Motive AC substitution, and you have a nice attrition build.

Just as important, however, is that this guy can stand on his own in a fight. AC 43, while not the best, is still pretty good, and as a monk, touch and flat-footed ACs are still excellent. 260 hp can take a beating as well, though there might be an issue with 2-handed fighter builds. That being said, however, Elusive Target was made for those situations, and there is always Gaseous Form in case things get too heavy. Damage output is good, but not spectacular. You'll probably land 4 or 5 hits in a round, for a total of ~8d8+85 or so, but with the AOOs that you can generate, your actual number of attack rolls in a round could be as high as 13.

Overall, I think this is a solid build. I am actually keeping a copy of this to use in the future as a solo enemy for a small party. As a PC, you would definitely pull your weight as a front-line damage dealer, and as an NPC, paired with some goons designed to take advantage of prone enemies and AOOs, could be quite horrifying. In either case, the person(s) on the other side of the table will spend a lot of time yanking their hair out.

It was an extremely valid observation. I've not been here very long and I've come to realize that's exactly what a majority of the posters come on here to do: complain and troll.

There are whole subforums where it's pointless to even venture into.

Now why did I choose this path? I love the idea of an elf stepping away from what is expected of him (the archer, wizard etc) and wanted to make him a wild west badass, I took a few levels in fighter to get the extra feats he needs to stab you in the gut with his rapier, then shoot you in the face with his pistol. Some of the math could very well be wrong, I put him together pretty quickly. But yea, I think he turned out pretty well.

It's tough to be interested in rules-design and also have your heart in rules-exploitation at the same time. Not impossible, but tough.

18 levels...

Too much work -- might as well go off to a real DPR thread if I'm going to put up with that.

However, to salvage this thread, might I suggest that people post some interesting synergies?

I'll start with my three PFS characters, each of whom will have two or three classes:

1) halfling rogue2/paladinX ... rogue levels provide Evasion and Use Magic Device to put that high charisma to work.

2) dwarf barbarian[brutal pugilist]/fighter[weapon master]/cleric[community/travel] ... he'll be BAB11 at 12th.

3) human samurai/fighter/barbarian[urban]

[Dragonborn3]

Goblin
Red Dragon Sorcerer1/Oracle of the Flame4/Dragon Disciple5/Mystic Theurge8

He will make sure each and every one of the "Readers" and "Writers" burn tot eh ground...

[Silent Saturn]

It's a bit late, so I didn't get into listing all of his feats and skill points- just the important stuff that makes the character who he is.

Hachaken aka Bruno Tumblers:

Bruno "Hachaken" Tumblers
Male LN Halfling rogue 5/monk 13
STR 19, DEX 20, CON 14, INT 16, WIS 21, CHA 18
Weapons: +2 Keen Kukri, +1 Returning Dagger
Armor: none
Other gear: Wand of Invisibility, Wand of Cure Moderate Wounds
Primary Skills: Acrobatics, Stealth, Use Magic Device

Story Behind Him:

Bruno was once your typical theif-for-hire, accompanying any adventuring group that would have him, disabling the traps and picking the locks, never thinking much beyond the next bit of treasure. Until one day, he and his party discovered the ruins of an ancient monastery and discovered the Hachaken, an enchanted kukri with incredible power. None of them knew how to wield it, so they gave it to Bruno, They figured it looked almost like a dagger.
Little did they realize that the weapon wasn't just enchanted, but it had a soul of its own. Bruno didn't realize either, until it was too late. At first, he thought it was his idea to visit the monks and learn to wield his new treasure. But Hachaken's spirit gently prodded him into the monk's order, convinced him to stay and learn a bit more about their fighting techniques, to maximize the effectiveness of his blade's strikes. The more he wielded the kukri, the more its influence took hold of him, and before long, the plucky opportunist Bruno Tumblers had become the ruthless monk Hachaken. His former friends never suspected the real reason he turned his back on the adventuring life and took his new nickname, and they never realized how easily it could have been them.

I hope this is sort of what you were hoping for with this.

-----
Spent: 516, 000

My reasoning is as follows:
I wanted to try out Style feats (Tiger pounce is good for any melee who wants hit bonus not to drop when power attacking and Dragon style lets you charge thr difficult terrain). I wanted to be able to use dueling gloves (weapon Master grants weapon training earlier).
I wanted to use 2 totems (Totem Warrior archetype allows that according to ultimate Combat).
And I just wanted a Barbarian in armor so armored Hulk (nifty benefit of increasing speed).
Basically, he would start as a monk but lose his ability to stay lawful over 6 levels (when he gains a Barb level) but first training in weapons. Since I was using armor, might as well switch out Evasion for Toughness/NA, but I added ring to get it back.

I would have tried Wild Rager but it penalties you for not dumping Cha (and you gave us 14 as lowest stat).
Eventually, I ran out of ideas for what to buy so I bought elemental resist enhancements.

[Salarain]

I played many games as a monk. Just my-self bored with that class.

[Sylvanite]

Not enough time for a full build out, but the idea is pretty cool (if I do say so myself):

Fighter (Weapon Master) 4/Rogue 3/Red Mantis Assassin 7/Dragon Disciple 4

Basic idea is to drop down obscuring mists whilst wearing a Goz mask (instead of the normal Red Mantis Mask) and then take things down while they can't see and you can. Getting the full levels of spellcasting is nice, and the Strength boosts from DD help offset some of the loss of attack bonus. As will Duelist's gloves to go with the Weapon Master early fighter special.

Plus, RMA is the only Int based spontaneous caster, and thus way into DD without needing a high charisma!

Featwise it has a lot of pre-reqs, which stinks...but you do get to do some pretty cool two weapon fighting, should you desire, with enough SA to back it up.

Certainly not optimized, but fun.

Sorry it took so long to get to this. Too many RL distractions. Also, this is the fourth character I decided to make. The arcane archer was jsut really disappointing, I can't make a magus right now, and the options for making a halfling giant killer rely on 3.5 too much.

This here helion is two archetype classes, no prestige, and able to lay out a LOT of damage. Plus, she's hard to kill. Not as much damage as the antipaladin idea, maybe. But a lot of ranged damage.

Most importantly, she's got 18 levels but 23 feats.

I'll try to finish the magic items and such later.

Just a suggestion, my english is so bad I can't translate a full character ..

Paladin 8 (Oath of Vengeance for more smite evil, Warrior of the Holy Light) / Sorcerer 1 / DD 9

With a good spell selection could be fun & usefull

[Dapifer]

Minor nitpick, and don't take this the wrong way, I am just really curious...

So, why no Drows?

After reading Master of Devils, I'm really interested in figuring out how to blend a sorcerer & monk -> here's one attempt for the competition. He's not the greatest sorcerer, but uses his magic to help fight unarmed. He has 26K left-over for whatever he might need (maybe a staff?).

Finishing the Marid style at level 19 lets this draconic-empyreal monk sorcerer go all Sub-Zero on his foes, when he's not melting their faces off with the acid spells & breathweapon.

Strong AC and saves too - seems like he'd be a lot of fun to play!
