No spells above 1st level.
GREAT Saves :)
...I'd rock it.
You'd have every skill as a class skill. That's useful. Also a small army of animal companions, familiars, etc. You could rule a small village easily.
Skills are pretty good though, nearly 4+Int bonus per level on average, and just about every skill a class skill by level 10. Also bear in mind that with some feats and traits you could take, the class abilities could be much higher than first level.
darnit, that was my idea. But yes, GREAT saves!
Also, can't be a Paladin AND a Barbarian :( unless there is some lawful barbarian archetype I don't know of.

They became lawful
"A barbarian who becomes lawful loses the ability to rage and cannot gain more levels as a barbarian. She retains all other benefits of the class."
Making them even worse :)
And you would have to dump all of your mental stats, so you have absolutely no spell casting ability.
20th Level Commoner.
BAB 10... and that's it. Crap saves, crap damage, crap skills.
Still has better BAB than the build the OP suggested.
And you would have to dump all of your mental stats, so you have absolutely no spell casting ability.
Also, you wouldn't need to dump mental stats. Heck, all that is needed is one point in Wisdom, Charisma, and Intelligence, and bam: you have so many first level spells. Although if we are aiming for worst character, then dump everything. also roll for stats, and ask your GM for a 3/3/3/3/3/3 stat array.
Also dump con and raise dex but don't take any feats to help improve your dex based character. Then wear chain to impede your movement.
20th Level Commoner.
BAB 10... and that's it. Crap saves, crap damage, crap skills.
Still has better BAB than the build the OP suggested.
the commoner is still gads worse.
4 higher BAB... giving up pets, saves, skills, possible spells, heals, free gun, weapons and armor proficiency. and every other general purpose level one free stuff from any class.
LAUGHING!!!
You should go with a class that has a d6 for first level so you also miss out on the extra HP from taking "max at first level".
needs Shadowdancer, Assassin, Dragon Disciple, and Master Spy for even less BAB.
But then the Master Spy makes PERFECT sense. the true master Spy would never get into a fight. Although the Assassin part would never connect with the death strike.
A Master Spy also gets superficial knowledge to maintain a disguise... but instead of actually getting the class ability he instead chose to have superficial knowledge of every class by taking one level in all :O
IT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE AS A CHARACTER CONCEPT
I actually want to make this NPC. A warrior-mage who sacrificed total effectiveness for variability. He can certainly defeat most low-level enemies, but against a normal threat even half his level, the only things that'll save him are his Hit Points. With that in mind, dump Dex, max Con, and put a couple points in everything else. He may not be too powerful at all, but he'll take AGES to take out.

average stats across the board. Human. Apply middle aged template (plenty of years to fulfill this particular goal). and you have the aged tavern keeper that seems to know a little bit about everything and who confuses you with his stories.

Now I am rethinking the order to make it a good story.
I was born to a barbarian tribe, but found the wonder in music and went to Bard College. While I was there I went through a religious phase, then a crunchy granola phase, then I got into combat training, which made me want to become really structured and learn martial arts, which made me kind of a religious zealot for awhile.
After that, I got back to my roots and went back to the forest, got in some trouble with the law and discovered I had kind of a natural knack for magic. I studied it for a little while, but then I got into Chemistry.
I got bored with school and took up horse-back riding for a time, before I got into firearms. After that I went back to my religious days, got to be kind of a zealot again before rediscovering my love of magic and mixing it with my love of swordplay.
Then suddenly one day the gods cursed me, which got me into thinking about the other planes and summoning an eidelon. This made me want even more pets, so I got a magical familar, before joining the Pathfinder society.
I've had a full life.
Yep, that is awesome. Could trade that Pathfinder chronicler for a level of Psion or something, just to make it all base classes. Maybe a few archetypes so it doesn't lose any abilities when changing classes... With the high stats my group uses and some careful feat and archetype choices and appropriate WBL... You know what? I think I can make that guy effective up to CR 10 or even 12. If that is at all possible he will appear as an NPC in my campaign. The players will be so confused!
I'll be back in a couple days to tell how much I've managed to optimize this guy.
5 levels of Inquisitor, 5 levels of Paladin, THEN 10 levels of Mystic Theurge!
5 levels of Inquisitor, 5 levels of Paladin, THEN 10 levels of Mystic Theurge!
You would need levels in an arcane casting class before doing that.

The high charisma combined with that much UMD means he can actually do very well, doesn't really need it as a class skill with a +26 bonus. And he can't take ranks in Fly (has no means of reliable flight).
Cut out UMD and Fly and put the 40 ranks into 40 different Profession skills and I think we have a winner.
Here's my attempt at a craptacular build. I didn't buy any gear and I chose not to take a bunch of metamagic feats, but I did take a couple. Due to his opposition schools as a wizard, I couldn't prepare all the available spells because all his spells known are part of his opposition school. He also has one negative level because of the holy avenger.

"Monk eh? I was a monk once, back in the day."
...But then I took an arrow to the knee....
...and that day I learned the folly of not taking Deflect Arrows.
-nods sagely-
There was a build very similar to the one the OP described in the Ecology of the Kobold article in Dragon. Don't remember which issue, but that feature was hilarious.
Commoner 20. Dump Int to 8, and put your 1 skill point per level into Craft Basket (underwater). All feats are Skill Focus: Craft Basket (underwater). Yeah, your BAB is slightly higher, but you're giving up a crapton of special abilities vs the OP's build.And you'd never make it past 3rd level.
That 20th level in Commoner didn't come from adventuring... no it came from sheer crafting, mastering his art day in and day out. At 1xp per completed basket. He is a god among basket crafters and people come from all over the world to learn the trade from him.
darnit, that was my idea. But yes, GREAT saves!
Also, can't be a Paladin AND a Barbarian :( unless there is some lawful barbarian archetype I don't know of.
They became lawful
"A barbarian who becomes lawful loses the ability to rage and cannot gain more levels as a barbarian. She retains all other benefits of the class."
Making them even worse :)
My book is missing that bit, but it is on the srd site... is this from some errata that I'm missing?
How about a 20th level wizard with an intelligence of 7? Such a character is technically legal but probably even more useless than a 20th level commoner.
He'd never have survived apprenticeship.How about a 20th level wizard with an intelligence of 7? Such a character is technically legal but probably even more useless than a 20th level commoner.
His dad was a very important member of the college and gave a lot of money to said institution, so they were obligated to keep him and eventually make him an Archmage though he never actually managed to cast any spells.

I put together a character very similar to this - Jack "Of All Trades" - that I want to run one day. The more I thought about it, the more it started to make sense - the ultimate spy (well, he casts spells like a cleric... he must be one; etc.)
Race: Half-Elf (+2 Dex)
Alignment - Chaotic Neutral (maybe Neutral Good?)
Rolled Stats (before any modifiers, not sure what this looks like for point-buy):
STR: 5 (yes, I rolled it and I kept it - call it "character growth")
DEX: 17 (+1 level 8)
CON: 11 (+1 level 12)
INT: 17 (+1 level 4)
WIS: 16 (+2 level 16, 20)
CHA: 14
1: Bard
2: Alchemist
3: Barbarian
4: Cavalier
5: Cleric
6: Druid
7: Fighter
8: Inquisitor (tie this to the Cleric)
9: Gunslinger
10: Ranger (Druid ties maybe)
11: Rogue
12: Sorcerer
13: Summoner
14: Monk (Martial Artist to avoid alignment)
15: Wizard
16: Magus
17: Arcane Archer
18: Duelist
19: Shadowdancer
20: Master Spy
BAB: 7 (one better than previously posted)
FORT: 24
REF: 21
WILL: 23
(with magic items to boost the 6 stats and the trait to get +1 reflex, the lowest save is +30)
- Add skills for flavor (I never finished the skill block but I was focusing on whatever skills were class skills for the class I just took)
- More class abilities than you can shake a stick at (actually gets 2d6 sneak attack)
Perhaps the ultimate ADHD character? "What do you want to be today?"
EDIT - got the alignment wrong
Oh yes -
And the second list of "all the special powers that I honestly earned playing this character under 'my other GM'".
Naturally, this 'other GM' has recently moved to another city and "I don't know his address or phone number". When you ask for a name you are told "you don't know him".
I wish I was not speaking from experience.
Twice.
Been there, done that, feel your pain.
