I am interested in creating a character based on Deadpool.
It would be crazy to try the super healing that character like he and wolverine have, so I am concentrating on outward skills.
The comics show him using swords and guns. I am not keen on making a character that is part gunslinger, so I am concentrating on the sword part.
My gaming group says I have the gift of bad puns and since I told them I was thinking of making a Ninja, they suggested I make Deadpool.
But is the Ninja the Best way to go about this?
I am not looking for an optimized or powerful character (I like TWF over THF. The latter does more damage, but the former is more fun.)
So, what are some ways to go about building such a character?
I have access to CRB, APG, UM, UC. I also have PFRPG rd for my tablet.
Thanks
He needs a Scottish necromancer for a companion. And maybe some class that has access to disguise self. Mr. Marylin Monroe anybody?
I think rogue sounds like it would fit some of his skills and maybe some ranger for the TWF.
Bump
I know it's a corny idea, but it is essentially a 2 weapon fighter with a big mouth. Super healing doesn't exist. It could be a fighter or almost any other melee class. I was centering on the Ninja because of the types of swords the comic book character used.
It's too bad this wasn't a DC character, because it would have ended up as an Elseworlds and I would have had something. [ramble ramble ramble]
So beyond the fluff, any other ideas for a TWFer?
First, make sure your DM allows evil characters.

here is how i would build deadpool.
half orc, or gm fiat, for the feat tenacious survivor. then add in a self created ring of infernal healing(custom magic item) and focus on katanas (wakazashi is better) and go deep into fighter. he is not a rogue, but you should have levels in a caster for his imbued pseudo psionics that his experiments gave him.
Two things make Deadpool: healing and the mouth/personality.
The rest is but window dressing.
Make whatever you think would be fun, and add in the mouth/personality.
As I said in the beginning it would be crazy to do the healing. The only to races that have any kind of healing at low levels are orcs and halforcs. I would rather not play a half orc. That leaves out the Healing.
Since the rest is "Window dressing" I could make a Ninja, Ranger or even a fighter.
As far as Deadpool experiments, I only rememeber comics that I got in the 90's and there wasn't much of anything back then, just super healing swords and guns. I'll concentrate on a pair of swords and decide on which class.
Thanks.
Make sure the other PCs will enjoy playing with that type of character.
I forget but isn't there something a human can take to let them count as another race for the purpose of taking feats?
Get the DM to drop/alter the Paladin code/alignment and be a Paladin. Ain't no healing factor like LoH.

The healing factor definitely shouts Lay on Hands to me, though as Deadpool is the very definition of chaotic neutral, that probably doesn't work as well as you'd hope.
I would probably go with a Dodge/Mobility line Fighter, or a TWF ninja. Deadpool is definitely a weapons master, and he also uses a very acrobatic fighting style - exactly how you want to skin that is up to you, but he's probably got a high dex.
First, make sure your DM allows evil characters.
Nah, he's Chaotic Neutral. He's far too nuts to be evil.

Sure you can get the insane healing factor in pathfinder. You can even get it at low levels if you put a lot of focus into it.
To start with, you will want the Fast Healer feat. Next you would want some form of constant healing. The easiest would be the Fire Gods Blessing feat (Orcs of Golarion) and either an early gift from the gm of a flaming weapon or through Fire Forged Steel equipment (Ultimate Equipment). Basically every round that you attack and deal fire damage you heal 1 hp. Then fast healer kicks in and you heal another 1-2 hps. gaining 2-3 hps every turn at lower levels is quite strong and you could get it at level 3 (equipment non-withstanding). Go human and take racial heritage (orc) as your bonus feat. Take your first level in Unbreakable Fighter (Ultimate Combat) and take your first level as fast healer/fire gods blessing. At 3rd level take the other.
The main problem with this is the reliance on the equipment and the fact that it is offensive healing rather than passive healing. So another option is to go Barbarian and get the Renewed Vigor and Regenerative Vigor rage powers. You cant take this until level 6 and it is only usable once per day but it gives you passive regeneration as long as you rage. Pity Deadpool is not the raging barbarian type :P You could still be CN, dual wield weapons and take the chaos totem powers (and be a Wild Rager if you are willing to go that way).
Another route is to go alchemist and get the Spontaneous Healing and Healing Touch discoveries to gain a very potent healing factor on demand (in very limited quantities).
Ya, you can gain an insane healing factor in pathfinder, especially when you start stacking on healing effects (fast healer, fire gods blessing, regenerative vigor, tenacious survivor, ring of regeneration, Determination armor enchantment, ect). The worst part IMO is that building a character to be unkillable starts to lose its luster rather quickly and the loss of "the fear of death" makes the game less enjoyable, IMO at least :)
Edit: Actually another way to get it would be through a wand of infernal healing and the fast healer feat, healing 2-3 hps passively and on demand, but you would have to pull out a wand to do it (re-flavour it as deadpool pulling out his lollipop, or otherwise taking a non-sensical action for a few seconds, or just gloss over it when describing it). With that route, you could get the feats at level 1 (and as soon as you could get the wand) be whatever you wanted.
best way i see to build Deadpool: pure two-weapon fighter (fighter archetype) with two katana and two pistol (using them is irrelivant. he has to have them). then simply ask your GM to allow you to take fast healing as the monster trait in replacement for one (or all) of your racial abilities. seeing as how Deadpool was a mutant human i would say make him a human, but take away his +2 to any stat and his bonus feat at lvl one and give him fast healing= to his character level. this way it scales with the game (so its not really over powered) when you realize that at lvl 15 you are going to be taking much more then 15 damage per round. then just build him like any other TWF-er but take weapon focus/specialization in both pistol AND katana.
then of course talk alot of crap! and BAM! Deadpool
Seems like deadpool would have some levels of barbarian too. He's not so much concerned with avoiding attacks as just powering through them.
The barbarian rage could be reskinned as 'crazy awesome'.
I did say I wanted to make a character based on Deadpool, so it didn't have to be the Character himself.
My group is completely okay with this. As I said in the OP, I make all kinds of bad puns and I said I was going to make a Ninja and it was suggested that I should make Deadpool.
Actually it has been suggested for sometime that I make a bard just because of the puns.
Though I like the idea of superhealing of some kind in the game, it isn't that important. I am not much for orcs as I have said before.
I never thought about Playing around with Paladins to use the laying of hands. I didn't see it as healing all that much. Also, changing the Paladin code and alignment to meet what would likely be a very non-paladin set of standards. Heck, I would think that this version of the Deadpool wanna-be would not be wearing heavy armor. It would almost be some wierd archetype that just doesn't exist. That's just too many changes to deal with.
I was initially looking at Ninja and recently Ranger
This is for a RotRL AP. Making a completely unique character might sound like a neat idea, but to me I don't think it will play out so well.
Fighter is probably one of the best suggestions if I want to play TWF and Gunslinger Feats. Our current Inquisitor has a couple of guns as well as crossbows and silver returning hammer. It's not the same thing, but I think all he did was get the Gunsmithing feat and make his guns (there's more to it but I don't need to go into it)
I know Deadpool had guns, but that doesn't mean that I need to have them too. That is why I am concentrating on just the swords (Wakizashi).
It would be easier just to play a Ninja, but that is just a 3/4 BAB vs a fighter, Paladin or Ranger. That is why I asked for help.

Hi a little help please, im using this build for a half-orc fire kineticist, but its possible my DM will argue about the Fire Gods Blessing feat and fast healer feat, because fast healer feat works with resting or through magical healing, so i want to know if the healing from Fire gods blessing feat is considered as magic.
Also, i wish i could use this build with a goblin instead of orc or human hehe

By all accounts, Mutation Warrior (Fighter) gets access to a limited selection of Discoveries at 7th lvl, one of those Discoveries- is Spontaneous Healing.
Closest thing you'll get to Deadpool's regeneration powers outside of dipping into Alchemist.
Though, Deadpool does love Explosives... but imagine Deadpool WITH WINGS.
Just want to comment on my really old thread.
Read before commenting. This wasn't about how to MAKE dead pool. It was how to make a character LIKE dead pool without the healing.

The Fire God rewards you for killing enemies with flame.
Prerequisite: Half-orc or orc, worshiper of a god of fire
Benefit: When in combat, if you deal fire damage to an enemy, you heal 1 hit point. You can only benefit from this healing once per round. Attacks that cause a target to catch on fire heal you each round the target takes fire damage.
While the feat doesn't state that it is magical healing, there's nothing saying the opposite. Generally speaking, if it isn't HP healed from resting or Fast Healing, it's magical healing.
A literal God is rewarding you for each hit dealing fire damage. Gods channel their energy through divine magic, which most definitely is magical healing.
But ultimately, it's up to your GM.
As for the original thread, it's quite hard to create a character like Deadpool without emulating the healing, since that's the character's (2nd) most definable character trait. If you don't care for the healing, any TWF-ing trashtalker should be enough.
****
But if you want the healing early on, here's a couple tricks.
Resilient Martyr, religion trait. Doubles the effect of resting, and triples the effect of "total bed rest".
Bandages of Rapid Recovery, chest slot wondrous item (200 gp).
Any creature wrapped in these bandages recovers from wounds and ability damage each day as if receiving complete bed rest, regardless of activity.
So coupled with the trait, that's 6 HP(*HD) /6 ability score points healed per day.
Now, the bandages are destroyed once removed or when the player is fully healed, but there's nothing preventing you from keeping your HP/scores below fully healed. This could be for a multitude of reasons: You could be a flagellant, or have a specific wound that never closes.
Of course, this trick is wholly dependent on how your GM rules your natural healing to occur. If it's spread evenly throughout the day, then it's a lot more attractive.
As soon as you can afford it, buy a Pearly White Spindle (Cracked) Ioun Stone for 3,400 gp. Which will heal you an extra 24 HP per day, make you immune to bleed and allow you to regrow your body parts. Either buy a wayfinder or implant the Ioun Stone to keep it safe.
Deadpool is a Troll - in every sense of the word.
Does a fast healer bloodrager work as Deadpool. Full BAB, rage powers = maximum effort. Using half orc to get the fast healer feat quickly.....
I tried Alex Agunas build in Mummy's Mask and though it was funny to play a trash talker like Wade, the character was seriously weak. The regeneration stances do not heal you nearly fast enough to compensate for low AC and trying to TWF effectively was too much of a tax on my strength to work.
IMO, a better build would probably look like Bloodrager X with one lvl of Unbreakable Fighter to speed up Fast Healer, 2 lvl of Slayer to get TWF and then forget about ITWF until you can meet the pre-req, if ever. Stats should be :
Con>Str=Dex>Cha>Int>Wis
Raging Vitality and Antagonize are a must, on for practical reasons the other for fluff reasons.
With Con 22 while raging at Bloodrager 4/Unbreakable Fighter 1/Slayer 2, you're looking at Fast Healing 5 while raging. Not bad and this will heal your actual hp instead of temporary ones.
Warpriest of The Lantern King (or perhaps Sekhmet)
Half-Orc for the Ugly. Take Sacred Tattoo and the Fate's Favored trait. (your other trait should probably be something that gives you Acrobatics or Stealth as a class skill)
Start with Antagonize.
Then, Two-weapon fighting, Quick Draw, and Weapon Focus with Katanas and Pistols (making them both Sacred Weapons).
Focus on spells that boost your weapons and stats. As a two-weapon fighter you'll need them. Divine Favor is your primary spell. Most of your spells get spontaneously converted to Swift action Cure Spells (to simulate regeneration) so don't worry too much about them.
Pick up Dodge, Mobilty and Combat Reflexes to Prestige Class into Shadowdancer for the teleportation. Then start picking up the Dimensional Agility feats.
It's an old thread, but because people keep posting in it, I'll say I think warpriest is the way to go (as stated by doomed hero) to get some of the options that people mentioned.
Something like this
Race : Human
Class : Arsenal Champion War Priest of Mordiggian (Maybe refer to them as Chimichanga or Chimi for short)
USING SWORDS AND GUNS
Weapon Training
1st - Heavy Blades
2nd - Firearms
3rd - Advanced - Effortless Dual Wielding
4th - Advanced - Weapon Mastery - Finesse Shot
Weapons
Scimitar x2
Pistol x 2
LOOKING THE PART
Traits : Adopted - Ugly Swine
Armor
Spider Silk Bodysuit (Dyed red and black)
FIGHTING
Feats :
H Exotic Weapons Proficiency (Firearms)
1 Weapon Focus Pistol
1 Weapon Focus Scimitar (from war priest)
Feats every odd level
Bonus Feats starting at 3rd level and every 3 levels after
HEALING
Fervor
Casting healing spells on self as swift action
Get a ring of regeneration
HAVING A MOUTH
That is on you
BEING CRAZY
Also on you
Deadpool is a troll who is immune to fire and acid damage, and hence unkillable.
Human Swashbuckler1/FighterX, take the alternate racial trait Military Tradition in place of the human bonus feat to get exotic weapon proficiency in two weapons, choose Katana (or Wakizashi) and Guns (pistols). Take Mutagen Warrior archetype for the fighter and sacrifice your armor training for alchemist discoveries, and get Spontaneous Healing.
Why Swashbuckler1? You'll be lacking class skills as a fighter, and Swashbuckler can give you all the acrobatics, bluff, diplomacy, escape artist, perception, sense motive, sleight of hand, etc. that you need to become our favorite Merc with a Mouth, plus, you get Panache and the first 3 deeds (which I would argue, fit Deadpool very well). Lastly, you get free weapon finesse for the Wakizashi.
Our Merc with a Mouth probably has a Charisma of at least 14-16, if not higher, so keep that in mind when you place your ability scores.
Feats: Get Toughness and Die Hard, plus all the TWF
Items: Get a Ring of Regeneration (or maybe even create your own Homebrew item with the DM that would give you some kind of fast healing), and several Greater Aegis of Recovery. Each time you get reduced below 0, it crumbles to dust and you're healed, essentially making you Deadpool, the unkillable.
.
Aegis of Recovery, Greater
Price 3,750 gp; Slot neck; CL 9th; Weight —; Aura moderate abjuration and conjuration
DESCRIPTION
This aegis has a thick medallion that is typically carved with the image of bared fangs or a poisoned dagger.
It functions as an aegis of recovery, except it grants the wearer a +5 resistance bonus on all saving throws to recover from a continuing effect, such as ongoing poison damage, daily saving throws against a disease, a hold person spell, or lingering damage from an attack. Should the wearer drop below 0 hit points, the greater aegis of recovery heals the wearer for 5d8+7 points of damage and then crumbles to dust.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Cost 1,875 gp; Feats Craft Wondrous Item; Spells barkskin, breath of life
.
Ageless Bum already said it, but I'll reiterate, for looking the part, get a Spider Silk Suit that is dyed Red and Black.
I like that one, quite fitting in fact. I can't bring myself to build Deadpool with a wisdom based class like the warpriest. The mutation warrior is a nice fit and gives enough feat to make the character as close to the original as possible I guess.
