Help with a roguish character

[vashshadow]

i looking to build a char like twisted fate as in a card thrower. i would be the groups face as well. im thinking enchanted card that can cut or blow up or summon monsters depending on the card thrown. throwing multipul cards at once would be cool to. but what class would work to enchant cards like this or would alchemy sharp and explosive cards be better? plz help im going mad tring to figure this out and mite be missing something.

What about a magus whose Arcane Pool "weapon" is shuriken? The shuriken would be sharpened cards and would end up exploding/what have you at later levels and you could mix in spells to do the other stuff.

Feats would be the normal ranged feats.

It might take a bit of relaxing for Arcane Pool but it would be less optimal than a bow so I don't see it as a big deal.

A Heretic Inquisitor of Yaezhing will be stealthy, and can use shuriken.
The conversion inquisition will make you a party face, and the wisdom of the flesh trait can let you use wisdom for acrobatics.

i thought arcane pool strike was only with you fist? i kno there's the ranged spell strike but that arch is meh plus you are using limited spell slots i want to make this the primary attack.

Given the flavor, I have to point out the Harrower Prestige Class. It's not one of my favorites, but if you end up being a spell-caster, it might give you some cool, card-related powers.

the harrower is ok but its very limited

Popping a level into cleric and taking the guided hand feat will allow you to use your wisdom for attack rolls with shuriken. Combine this with the suggestions I made above, combined with some flavoring and you will be a stealthy "card' flinging face, with spells to fill in the magic flavor.
You can even use the Rough and Ready trait to use actual cards as weapons.

Ninja can get something along those lines with shuriken however it's pretty piddly damage.

[vashshadow]

hmmm that mite work. a friend of mine said to use a scrollmaster and re fluff it

[vashshadow]

so what do you guys think of a re fluffed scrollmaster?

[meibolite]

I like the idea of the scrollmaster, however i'm not able to see how it can work mechanically, since the scrollmaster uses his scrolls as a Sword & Board melee fighter. Maybe a refluffed alchemist? instead of vials of explosive materials, he uses his innate magical ability to imbue cards, and card like objects with explosive power? And since you want a fate themed character, I'd suggest taking any formulas and discoveries that work on that side of things.

I can't help envisioning this character with a quarterstaff as a backup weapon... gambit just keeps hopping into my head.

[blackbloodtroll]

Reflavored shuriken still seems the simplest approach.

meibolite i thought about the alchemist and doing just what you said but wasn't sure if it would work.
