Aight, so my build doesn't come inta much of anything until 5th level, an as I've got no notes on 'em up until then I'm gonna skip 1st an' 3rd level.
Jugger Mcnaughty fights with nothing more than his sheer athletic prowess and a suit of heavy armor. He punches, grapples and tramples to death any who would stand in his way.
I have a fw provblems with this build:
1- He can't take Power Attack at 1st level, since by that point Monks don't have the necessary +1 BAB.2 - He also can't take Dragon Ferocity before having Dragon Style.
3- I'm under the impression that Overrun is a pretty weak combat maneuver. I think Improved Trip would be a better choice, but that also means investing in Int and getting Combat Expertise, which is an extremelly sucky feat.
Points 1 and 2 are just a question of reordering your feat selection, though, so no biggie.
Well...I guess Zandu wasn't special...
Also, do ninja's meet the martially aligned requirement? Cause I would like to try my hand at a Paladin/Ninja Build.
New guy! This one is Hayato, a Paladin of Irori who devotes his life to perfecting himself and the world around him. He's fearless in his ever-lasting battle against the forces of Chaos and Evil.

So far, Hayato is your standard sword and board Paladin. The only notable thing about him the celestial blood running through his veins, wich gives him darkvision, the ability to cast Daylight as SLA once per day and a few energy resistances, which are nice to have, but will fade in importance as the game progresses.
Like most of my builds, at 1st level he's more worried about survivability than damage output, so he uses a shield most of the time.

Hayato's faith and discipline made his will power, health and reflexes that much stronger. His saves are amazing for a character of this level. He has finally taken his 1st steps on the path to Irori's enlightment, but he still doesn't feel confident enough to rely on his martial arts for defense, so he's still donning armor and using a shield, and his practice in the old style of the Way of The Snake taught him how to read his opponents moves to avoid their attacks, although he must have at least one free hand, so when not using a shield Hayato will attack his targets with a 2-handed temple sword then hold it with only 1 hand to until he has the chance to attack again. He also learned how to use his bare fists to pierce the enemy's flesh
He now carries a couple Temple Swords made of different materials and a masterwork longbow so he at least have some way to attack flying enemies.

Finally, Hayato learned how to combine his faith and his discipline to beter fight (and smite) evil and chaos. He also ditched his armor and shield, now relying on his training and insight to avoid incoming attacks. He's also a remarkable grappler now.
He has his 1st magic weapon now, and a couple other magical items to increase his survivability, including 2 wands he can use himself, one of CLW and another one of Lesser Restoarion, and a 3rd wand charged with Mage Armor, which he bought himself, but asked his arcanist friend to carry and use it on him when necessary.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
I like this build because I love the flavor of the Champion of Irori, but I honestly don't know where to go from here. Maybe taking more levels in Paladin is a better deal than following through with this PrC. I really don't know.
I think he's pretty versatile, though, being capable of dealing a good amount of damage, using healing wands and handling social situations just fine. Unfortunatelly, his AC is really low and bracers of armor are damn expensive. Luckly, Smite Evil/Chaos and Snake Style help him to deal with that.
His main combat tactic is flurrying with a 2-handed Temple Sword, then holding it with only 1 hand inbetween his turns, so that he's capable of using Snake Style to defend himself.
Not an optimized character, but definitely a viable one.
Oh, and he has a Cha of 14 and no dump stats! So not only I get more of Cheapy's bonus points, I also win again! >:D
Well...I guess Zandu wasn't special...
Also, do ninja's meet the martially aligned requirement? Cause I would like to try my hand at a Paladin/Ninja Build.
Sorry, KK, it's just that we have so many builds, it's hard to commentate on all of them... -.-'
I just checked Zandu, and he seems very solid, although a bit uninspired (Human Lore Wardens Trip Monkey are not exactly unique).
Personally, I'd delay all of the weapon spec feats and get Lunge instead. It's a really good feat. Even more so if you use reach weapons.
About his gear, I'd buy more backup weapons and replace the mithral morningstart with armor spikes, so you get to use them with your Guisarme even if you GM doesn't allow you to use Catch-Off Guard to attack with the shaft of your weapon. I like that he didn't rush Power Attack, as so many martial characters do.
EDIT: Oh, and feel free to post that Ninja/Paladin build. Like I said, if it kicks ass, it's welcome in here! Besides I'm pretty curious to know how that turns out.

It's ok, I just wanted some feed-back just to make sure he wasn't completely herp derp.
Also, most of my fighters tend to be rather uninspired in terms of how they fight because I tend to view "how they fight" to have very little to do with "who they are". Sort of like how a person's job doesn't define them as a person. (Also, their tend to be only so many paths when building a character, and I tend to take the path of least resistance.)
As far as magic items if I where to try and change them up their are several things I would do. First, I honestly had not considered the ramifications of not allowing Catch-Off-Guard to not allow me to bash someone with the shaft of my Guisarme, and thank you for the suggestion of adding armored spikes. Second, if I where to expand/change his magic items I would probably add more scrolls/wands seeing as of right now he has a high UMD and nothing to use it on and risk not having an assortment of back-up weapons. Also, a Lunging Dazing Assault would probably be quite scary at this level. I imagine adding in some whirlwind attack at some point would be quite terrifying as well...
As far as my Paladin/Ninja goes I'll probably develop a concept tonight (and by concept I mean find a deity that would allow for a Lawful Good Paladin vengefully stab people in the back) and have a post sometime tomorrow.

I agree with you there, although I must add that a person's abilities do influence their personality and life style.
I'm just pointing out that the cool thing about these build threads is the possibility to either find a build you hadn't thought of before and creating/chekcing out how such odd builds fare.Since you don't have to spend hours playing them through a campaing, go crazy with their abilities, feat selection, archetype and etc! ^^
Ok, It seems like this thread has died down but I put through the effort of putting together this Paladin/Ninja so I'm going to post it anyway. :P
So, I now present my Half-Drow Paladin (Oath of Vengence) of Tsukiyo 4/Ninja 8 Dorvic Shirota.

Mainly has a lack of a back up weapon out of laziness on my part. Non-combat gear was dropped for the same reasons. Really just adds up to being a proof of concept idea.
Aha! One of Bob's build! Now this build thread is officialy awesome!!!
That said... I don't really like Phellyn. He spent all of his feats on a situational +3 to attack rolls. Might as well go with (Greater) Weapon Focus, as it has similar results and is much less situational.
I understand you wanted to make Phellyn benefit from his "Gnomeness" and all, but it feels too much like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.Using poisons is pretty cool, but ineffective. For some reason poisons often cost the equivalent to a commoner's income for a whole year, but have lowish save DC and subpar effects. (Which is really weird, as I can probably grab a bunch of random leaves around my house, put than in someone's drink and have a good chance of making that poor someone sickened and/or nauseated.)
I'm also not a big fan of carrying a single powerful weapon at the cost of having no backups and no good ranged weapon, but I suppose that's easily fixed if needed, just buy different items while leveling up.
But I understand that some of his weaknesses is due to using a lower point buy and being a Gnome.
Come on, Bob! Show us some of that LOBLAW BUILDING AWESOMENESS who brought us Turret and Kor! ^^
Sorry it took so long to respond. I've been a little occupied. I know poison isn't the best until you can get it stacked and it's very expensive to do. I haven't really looked at it much. I was hoping that with the cost being at 1/3 since he's crafting it himself it may be worth it. Since he would be dealing with mostly NPCs as a city-dweller it might be ok. Then again, it may not.
As for the +3 situational bonus, it's actually better than the ranger's favored enemy which I hear is one thing that makes rangers so awesome (not necessarily by you). I was hoping that since it was better than the ranger's class ability, it would get a little more joy. Oh well.
The last gnome I built and played was an illusionist/thief in a 2nd edition game back in 92 or so. I've never been a big fan of them.

I was hoping that with the cost being at 1/3 since he's crafting it himself it may be worth it. Since he would be dealing with mostly NPCs as a city-dweller it might be ok. Then again, it may not.
As for the +3 situational bonus, it's actually better than the ranger's favored enemy which I hear is one thing that makes rangers so awesome (not necessarily by you). I was hoping that since it was better than the ranger's class ability, it would get a little more joy. Oh well.
The last gnome I built and played was an illusionist/thief in a 2nd edition game back in 92 or so. I've never been a big fan of them.
I think what makes FE really good is that it scales with level and comes for free. Great/Vast Hatred wouldn't be too bad if Phellyn had taken it only for his 2~3 most common enemies and then invested in different combat styles and stuff like that, which is the real strength of Fighters, IMO.
Crafting and using poisons is a cool idea, but PF rules for them are just... Terrible. Unless you an get them for free (like a Vishkanya), they're really not worth it. Well, maybe an alchemist or ninja might be able to make them work, I don't know.I'm also not a big fan of Gnomes. PF managed to give them some interesting fluff, but I still feel like they're the poor man's Halfling.
I didn't mean to thrash your build or building skills, I just don't think Phellyn is as awesome as what I've come to expect from you.
After all, you're the guy who made really cool builds based on Presidents! ^^
Kor and Turret are still two of my favorite builds!

I like this build because I love the flavor of the Champion of Irori, but I honestly don't know where to go from here. Maybe taking more levels in Paladin is a better deal than following through with this PrC. I really don't know.
The next level of monk is pretty nice. You get Ki pool, +1 to AC, fast movement, still mind and a +1 to BaB and all saves.
Grab that at least.

I've made a lot more crappy builds than awesome builds, you just haven't seen most of my crappy builds. I still don't have my heart in this as much as I used to. Maybe I should look for some inspiration and see what I can find.

At the time I didn't think much about it, but now I imagine going for Paladin 3/Monk 3/Chapion of Irori 4, then following with any of those classes would have been a better deal. And he'd be capable of taking Improved Critical at 9th level.
I'm not very impressed by the high level abilities of Champion of Irori. So I'd go with one more monk level, then follow with Paladin.

Perhaps. But when you made awesome builds, you made them really awesome!
I remember I also really liked the builds based on different military forces. And what can I say about a build based on Mighty Mouse? lol

Ok, so this is Carlos Ragepants
He's built using WBL and is PFS legal. I may have some flaws in my saves (both by my design and my confusion at times to how multiclassing and save works). But here we go.

Rage 10 rounds/day
Controlled Rage When an urban barbarian rages, instead of making a normal rage she may apply a +4 morale bonus to herStrength, Dexterity, or Constitution. This bonus increases to +6 when she gains greater rage and +8 when she gains mighty rage. She may apply the full bonus to one ability score or may split the bonus between several scores in increments of +2. When using a controlled rage, an urban barbarian gains no bonus on Will saves, takes no penalties to AC, and can still use Intelligence-, Dexterity-, and Charisma-based skills. This ability otherwise follows the normal rules for rage.
Crowd Control At 1st level, an urban barbarian gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC when adjacent to two or more enemies. In addition, her movement is not impeded by crowds, and she gains a bonus equal to 1/2 her barbarian level on Intimidate checks to influence crowds.
Pretty standard Urban Barbarian Build, I might actually consider making him more range focused early on due to my low AC, but he hits hard and often.

Favored Enemy Bonus Evil Outsider At 1st level, a ranger selects a creature type from the ranger favored enemies table. He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.
I like building characters that have a burning hatred for Demons, especially in PFS, so a dip for 1 level of Ranger so I can take Favored enemy against Evil Outsiders makes sense for me here. Now because of the feat intensiveness of this build, we start on the long road of Fighter Levels

Armor Training Starting at 3rd level, a fighter learns to be more maneuverable while wearing armor. Whenever he is wearing armor, he reduces the armor check penalty by 1 (to a minimum of 0) and increases the maximum Dexteritybonus allowed by his armor by 1. Every four levels thereafter (7th, 11th, and 15th), these bonuses increase by +1 each time, to a maximum –4 reduction of the armor check penalty and a +4 increase of the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed.In addition, a fighter can also move at his normal speed while wearing medium armor. At 7th level, a fighter can move at his normal speed while wearing heavy armor.
Nice to see more builds here... I think I still have 1 or 2 left, it's just the thread lost steam and since I wasn't even seeing it on the frong page, I ended up forgetting about it. -.-'
When I get home I'll try to remind myself of actually posting my builds and checking and commenting on P33J's and Nicos' builds.
BTW, P33J, judging by the format of your stat blocks, I'm guessing you're using HeroLab. if that's so, you can select the BBCode tab in the "Output Hero Stat Block" option, so that HL adds the code for bold words for you.
This thread needs an oficial DPR calculator, I nominated Lemmysncethis is his thread :p
** spoiler omitted **...
The only problem is that I'm far too lazy to calculate DPR...
I had a DPR-calculator spread sheet, but I never figured how to use it correctly. -.-'.
I might try doing it the old fashioned way, but I can't garantee the math will be perfect.
Let me see... The average AC for CR-appropriate enemies...
CR1 = 12
CR3 = 15
CR6 = 19
CR10 = 24
At 1st level, Fighty McCharming's average damage is 8.5. His to-hit is +5, so he needs a 7 to successfully strike his enemies, a 60% chance. He threatens a critical with 19-20 for x2 damage.
So... It's (hit% x non-critical average dmg) + (critical hit% + critical hit average dmg + critical confirmation %), right?
(0.6 x 8.5) + (.1 x 17 x .6) = 6.12 average DPR? Is this math correct?
EDIT: Oops, average dmg is 8.5! Fixed.
This thread needs an oficial DPR calculator, I nominated Lemmysncethis is his thread :p
** spoiler omitted **...
For this guy...
Level 10, and average AC for CR 10 I would guess around 22.
Full attack with sword (using numbers provided): 43.86 average damage against AC 22
I'm confused on some things:
Compared to his standard attack
1)why does his attack and damage decrease on a full attack?
2)why does his attack decrease on an AoO?
Also, I can't tell if any of his attacks already have flurry or power attack (with furious focus) already included. Maybe I'm just too tired.
So, what is the DPR of the human gendarme/spellbreaker/armor master?
If I didn't make any mistake, your builds average DPR against a CR10 creature (AC 22) is 53.3.
He takes about 3 rounds to kill the enemy by himself. (CR 10 creatures have about 130hp)
For ttis one shield master is alittle too conveninet but he was designed for an "arena" type of play.
** spoiler omitted **
Looks like level 11. Average AC is 25.4, we'll round up to 26.
+5 adamantine heavy shield : +23/+15/+10 (1d4+23 20/x2)
Average DPR: 42.075 against AC 26.
Oh, hadn't noticed the Gendarme was at 11th level... lol... My bad.
At 10th level, Fighty McCharming's average DPR is 43,4. Or, if he's Power Attacking, 53. He too takes 3 rounds to kill the enemy. Assuming I didn't make any mistakes, of course.
EDIT: Oh, wait, I think I miscalculatred the average damage from his weapon damage dice, I think it's 5, not 4.5. If so, his DPR is 44.64 (54 with PA).
Come on, Nicos, give us some ass-kicking builds!
hEy, not everyone have herolab :p
I wanted to start with something diferent, besides I have my most powerful fighter in other (damaged in the moment) PC and I do not want to tdo them again.
This one is relatively weak at lower level, but I think afther the 6th level is reasonably good. She is not a primary line of defense, she does better in a group with another heavy hitter. Having said that here is Ellie
** spoiler omitted **
** spoiler omitted **...
Ellie at Level 10:
1) Scimitar: +21/+16 (1d6 +11 18-20/x2) or
2) Scimitar: +18/+13 (1d6 +17 18-20/x2)
Assuming AC of 23, average DPR will be:
1) 29.2175
2) 33.3125
At 10th level, while Raging, Foxy Slicey has an average DPR of 33.62. Pretty low for a Barbarian, but then again, she's makes up for that with great mobility, AC and saves.
Against enemies with any supernatural ability (which means pretty much every enemy ever by this level), her DPR increases to 43,3. Not bad.

my armor master have a low crit range, but are you people sure you are taking into acount the crit for the calculation?
Yup. It's part of the formula.
The damage formula is h(d+s)+tchd.
h = Chance to hit, expressed as a percentage
d = Damage per hit. Average damage is assumed.
s = Precision damage per hit (or other damage that isn't multiplied on a crit). Average damage is again assumed.
t = Chance to roll a critical threat, expressed as a percentage.
c = Critical hit bonus damage. x2 = 1, x3 = 2, x4 = 3.
So for the crits, it's the same average damage (h*d) multiplied by the crit factor and the percent crit (that would be 0.05 for a crit on a 20 only, or 0.10 for a 19-20 crit, or 0.15 for a 18-20 crit, etc)
my armor master have a low crit range, but are you people sure you are taking into acount the crit for the calculation?
Yup. At least, I hope I'm doing it correctly... This is my math:
(average damage x chance to hit without critical) + (average damage x chance to threaten a critical hit x chance to confirm x critical multiplier)
And I just found a mistake in my previous calculations... f!@%... -.-'
I've been a little unsure how to calculate DPR for awhile now. So, I'm curious, using the baseline above, would this be accurate for Tira's Level 10 DPR, without taking Deadly Aim or Point-Blank Shot into account? (And am I the only one that finds it slightly ironic that a thread dedicated to making versatile martial characters now has official DPR calculation? :P )
So, if Tira flurries, her +20's hit on a 4 or higher, so 85%, but .1 less because she threatens a crit on 19-20. She confirms with sense motive, which is 1 higher than her Attack Bonus, and for x3 damage, so:
(.75 * 13.5) + (.1 * 27 * .9) = (10.175 + 2.43) = 12.605 Damage
Her +15's have lower hit chance, though same crit confirm. So:
(.45 * 13.5) + (.1 * 27 * .9) = (7.425 + 2.43) = 8.505 Damage
So then, 2*(12.605) + 2*(8.505). Plus one more 12.605 if she uses a Ki point to add another +20 to the mix.
Making 54.825 DPR after spending a Ki point, or 42.22 without doing so. Would that be correct? (Again, not taking deadly aim or point-blank shot into account, 'cuz there's enough to get mixed up on already.)
Well, if my math is correct, Grumpy's DPR is... 39,2 with out SA.
If he gets to apply SA damage to all his attacks, his average DPR rises to 102,44. Pretty awesome!
Oh, wait... I think I made another mistake...
Grumpy's DPR sans SA: 49
Grumpy's DPR with SA on all attacks: 109,07
Even better.
My compliments, Nicos.

Sorry for hijacking the thread witha question but i have to ask where can I find the dervish dance feat? Im trying to buiot a two weapon barbarian /rogue and i need it and dont know where to find it to show the DM? I will post the character when im done polishing it but its not ready yet (also hes 15 point buy so technically under specs for the thread)
Hey, Nicos, I think there might be a problem with Grumpy's math.
Falchion: +8 BAB + 7 Str + 1 WF + 3 Enhancement 1 Iun Stone = +20 to hit.
Bite: +8 BAB + 7 Str + 1 Ioun Stone -5 secondary attack = +11 to hit.
During PA it'd be:
Falchion +20/+12 (2d4+22/15-20)
Bite +8 (1d4+6)
Am I missing something?
