Building a maniac


Advice


Okay, too much anime and weird character ideas and suddenly I want to play a yandere who'd probably be a Rogue / Barbarian (the latter because she needs to Frenzy from time to time) but I have no idea how to build that character.

Any ideas on which stats need to be focused on to make the build work at all, what feats to take and such things? I'll probably focus more on the Rogue levels and maybe take some Assassin levels. Also, she'll probably be an Urban Barbarian just so she doesn't have to be a total savage or anything, unless there's a feat that lets her go to some kind of Rage or Frenzy when her loved one is hurt. I already have the character concept down (she'll tolerate the rest of the party and will murder anyone trying to hurt the one she likes), so all I need is to decide who is the unlucky target of her attention.

There you go.

I have no idea what a yandere is as I'm not an anime fan at all, and I refuse to click on a link to tvtropes half an hour before I have to leave to run some errands.

But coming from what you said it seems you want her to have an unhealthy obsession with one of the other PC's. try talking to the player and seeing if he/she is interested in helping you, work out some tactical feats that will help you out, or mix in enough Inquisitor to the point where you get a few of said tactical feats.

Hopefully my little ideas helped, now if you'll excuse me I'm going back to trying to make a Gunslinger/Cleric


Definitely collaborate with the player of whichever character she's going to be obsessed with. Beyond that, I can't really say much. Rogue/Barbarian sounds like a good match for the concept, so if you don't get much out of this topic, try making one asking for assistance with a rogue/barbarian build. People will be less likely to be scared away from "help me build my Rogue/Barbarian" than "Help me build a yandere girl".

That's more or less how it goes. She has an unhealthy obsession (she'd call it love) for one person, for whom she'd be ready to do anything. I am not sure if Inquisitor really fits, since it involves religion. Teamwork feats are a good idea though, so thanks for mentioning that.

Also, I can't edit the topic name anymore (if only I could, I seriously would do so right now), so I'd rather try to get the optimizing folk here through other means so I can get help building this whole Rogue / Barbarian (and possibly Assassin) build of hers. I just wonder if the character will need the Coherent Rage trait (from the Faction Guide) so she can Stealth while Raging and do some brutal killing on anyone who hurts her loved one when they can't fight back too well.
