Are there any classes or archetypes that give a character the ability to add the flaming weapon quality to their weapon for limited user per day?
Gorbacz has put on weig- oh uh...
Magus thru their arcane pool.
Well my son wants to make an incinerator type character from Skylanders as a Pathfinder character.
But in all honest, I do not think there are any abilities that give flaming weapon at level 1 as a limited use per day (or perm use).
Oracle of flame gets this as well as a TON of other flame type stuff
Also there is a low lvel spell that does it (Sun Metal, Level 1)
Touch of Flame (Su): As a standard action, you can perform a melee touch attack that deals 1d6 points of fire damage +1 point for every two oracle levels you possess. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. At 11th level, any weapon that you wield is treated as a flaming weapon.
This is the oracle thing.
As they can cast sun metal as well it may be the way to go.
Thought there was an archetype that gave limited ability to add frost to your weapons for x amount of rounds per day. Or was it shocking?
Play a Suli character, they get this as a racial ability. Swift action I believe.
There's a Sorceror bloodline, Boreal, that can add the Frost property to their weapons.
5th level Paladin's Divine Bond has flaming on the list of available properties. It lasts for one minute per level, once per day.
Yeah, there are two races in the bestiaries that can do this. Suli gets a 1/day ability to add 1d6 elemental damage to his unarmed strikes. Ifrits get a SPA 1/day of burning hands. Beyond that, Look at building a Bard, Magus or possibly a cleric. Each has some options in the right vein.
What options are you seeing with the bard for flaming weapon?
Hmm, thought Bard had a basic elemental buff. I guess not. They do have some non-combat flavour stuff, but nothing that directly helps.
I think if the player wants to build this charactor, you should avoid getting hung up on a specific effect, unless you want to house rule stuff or wait for a lot of levels.
I don't know the character or book/movie you are refering to but a bard warshiping asmodeus could take the firebrand feat to deals 1 point of fire damage with every attack (if using a torch).
