If you wanna start using the build early with any class, look for some cheap Dimension Door Scrolls (or buy a Wand if you have the money) and pump your Use Magic Device up with the Skilled. The Dimensional Agility feat says you just have to have the ability to cast the spell, not have the spell on your class list.


And then qualify for Eldritch Knight by drinking a potion?


H-Orc Slayer (ACG playtest class) 6/Horizon walker 3

+1350g (10 x level:9 x days per feat:5 x3 feats) and 15 days for retraining gets you the whole chain, with 5 uses a day using the following stats.

Shaman's Apprentice racial gets you Endurance.

Str 20 Dex 14 Con 14 Int 9 Wis 14 Cha 7
Str boosts to levels 4 and 8 20pt buy.

Astral Terrain mastery/dominance gets you 5(3+wis) dimension doors a day. Buy a headband for another one.

Slayer gets you 2d6 sneak at 6th, so self-flanking helps you.

You have TWF, Double Slice, ITWF all with no pre-reqs from slayer talents, the 4 feat Dimensional Chain, and one more feat you can choose (power attack being the most likely choice).

Attacks at +14/14/9/9 doing wpn+2d6+5 before even factoring in any magical gear or buffs during those 5 rounds of attacks including flanking with yourself.

made a build a while back for a rogue that flanked with themself via dimensional savant, also fills the usual 'rogue' headcanons floating about of being skillful, charismatic, dex-focused, and disgustingly hard to find.

Spoiler:
Human (Focused Study) Rogue (Scout) 6 / horizon walker 3 / Rogue +11

Str 16, Dex 32 (5 +2 racial), Con 20 (5), Int 20 (5), Wis 16, Cha 20 (5)
+5 dex (level), +6 str/dex/con/int/wis/cha (belt/headband), +5 dex (book/wish)

traits:
-Militia (+1 to hit while flanking)
-Heirloom Weapon (option 1; scimitar) or Dawnflower Initiate (wayfinder 1)

feats:
ROG 1 - Weapon Finesse, Skill Focus (Stealth)
ROG 3 - Eldritch Heritage (Shadow 1)
ROG 5 - Endurance
HW 7 - Hellcat Stealth
HW 8 - Skill Focus (Perception)
HW 9 - Dimensional Agility
ROG 11 - Dimensional Assault
ROG 13 - Dimensional Savant
ROG 15 - Improved Eldritch Heritage (shadow 9)
ROG 16 - Skill Focus (Use Magic Device)
ROG 17 - Dampen Presence
ROG 19 - Arcane Strike

talents (total rogue level):
2 (2) - Combat Trick (dervish dance)*
4 (4) - Offensive Defense
6 (6) - Trap Spotter, Minor Magic (Detect Magic)* *
11 (8) - Fast Stealth
13 (10) - Feat (Dimensional Dervish)
15 (12) - Opportunist, Ninja Talent (Pressure Points)**
17 (14) - Skill Mastery (acrobatics, disable device, perception, stealth)
19 (16) - Crippling Strike
* - make sure you’ve got 2 points in perform (dance) to qualify
** - bonus rogue talent from human FCB (remaining 5 spent on hp)

Notable gear to look out for:
-+X heartseeker keen menacing courageous Scimitar (those enchants, in that order)
-headband of ninjutsu
-bane baldric
-ring of swarming stabs
-boots of soft step
-a few oils of negate aroma
-one cracked and one flawed pale green prism ioun stone
-one opalescent white pyramid (attuned to scimitar) ioun stone, slotted in a wayfinder
-the ‘usual' defensive stuff (ring of protection, cloak of resistance, amulet of natural armor, etc.)
-the best armor you can get your grubby little hands on (with enough max dex to not limit it)

Attack bonuses: +40/+35/+30 (BAB (15), dexterity (+11), weapon enhancement (+5), bane baldric (+2), ioun stones (+1/3/1, competence/morale/weapon focus), haste (+2))
While flanking: +45/+40/+35 (flanking (+2), menacing (+2), trait (+1))
After setting up sneak you hit them at flat-footed AC--which is likely, given respectable stealth and HiPS in light and dark as well as from blindsight/sense, tremorsense, and scent, that you can activate as a part of any movement (such as a 5ft. step)
You also get +1d6 damage (precision) from the ring of swarming stabs, +2d6 from the bane baldric, and +5 damage from arcane strike.

without the trait (either of them), you'll have to save 1000g for scimitar proficiency (the ioun stone grants it, slotting that stone in a wayfinder gives you weapon focus in it for free). could trade out the heirloom weapon or dawnflower initiate trait for rich parents to get you on your way for that if our GM doesn't allow the other two to work.


THREAD NECROMANCY!!

Wondering if this is possible?

Be an unchained monk, and take Abundant step at 8th level as your Ki Power. Retrain 3 random feats you took at earlier level to pick up Agility, Assault, and Dervish. Then at level 9, pick up Savant.

Possibly Outflank at 11?

Thanks all!


FAQ says you can, although it takes 5 days of training with someone who already knows the feat you want.

Liberty's Edge

And in pfs 15pp. And I am personally doing this with a Unchained monk (monk of the mantis).


Awesome, thanks Ridiculon and Diviner!
