Akuma from Street Fighter (PFS)

[GM Kyle]

So, if you take a Hungry Ghost Monk and combine it with a Qinggong Monk as a Tiefling (Oni-Spawn) I'm pretty sure you get Akuma. You can get your Gou Hadoken fireball attack with Searing Ray at 4th Level for 2 ki (later 1 ki with Ring of Ki Mastery) and Blood Crow Strike at 14th Level for 2 ki (ditto) w/ the entire Dimensional Agility feat chain at 13th Level + for his Shun Goku Satsu attack. What else would compliment the build...? Currently, I have the following for a PFS Character:

18 Str, 14 Dex, 12 Con, 10 Int, 16 Wis, 6 Cha

Given that Akuma in the games has always been a bit of a glass canon (high attacks, low health) I felt the above array reflected that better than my previous idea:

16 Str, 14 Dex, 14 Con, 10 Int, 16 Wis, 8 Cha

I'm torn on the feats, however, currently sitting on:

Toughness, Dodge, Deflect Arrows, Dragon Style

Thoughts? Thanks for the musings!

Actually, you might not even need the entire Dimensional Agility chain. Because Abundant Step is a move action, you can use your Quivering Palm instead of flurry. Or at least you can use that while waiting to get all of the rest of your feats! ;) If they fail the Fort Save, blammo!

Are you going to be able to take Dragon Style at first level? It has a requirement of 3 ranks in Acrobatics.

Or are you just planning to take them as you can?

[GM Kyle]

Actually, I have GM credit for a 3rd Level PC so I'm factoring in Dragon Style as my 3rd Level Feat.

[Aeshuura]

Nice! Hahaha, my friend has been trying to figure out how to do it for years... We always thought that after a certain point he should be a barbarian.

Ive always been plotting an Akuma/Gouki character. Sadly no evil in pfs. Cheliax faction works though.

I agree with dragon style. The race I had in mind was a half-orc, but I havent looked at tieflings in ages.

I was wondering about boar or tyger style for this character, but I always fall back to dragon :P

[Skull]

Just had some time to have a look,

You will only be able to get the initial Dragon Style feat. The rest require stunning fist (If you are willing to give up hungry ghost its not a problem).

Personally I really hate trading away disease immunity (and later poison). I know the hungry ghost monk gets a way to get additional saves later, but I see Gouki as closer to the original monk.

But I love the other things you are going for. In street fighter I always felt that Gouki's hp didn't last.

For Stats id go: 15 14 14 10 14 08 (excluding the racial bonuses)

What I like from dragon style is the elemental fist qualifications you get. Elemental fist = Shouryuken. :P

[Aeshuura]

Stunning Fist could still be taken, it just might not be able to be taken until later.

[GM Kyle]

Hmm... An oversight on my part. I can't get Stunning Fist normally until 11th level. Is there any other class beyond Monk that gives Stunning Fist? I thought an archetype did, but I can't find it.

[Skull]

As far as I know, its only the base monk that has it. Its what most archtypes replace. :P

Qinggong doesn't even give it.

[GM Kyle]

The Unarmed Fighter archetype gives any style feat at level 1, so a one level dip is an option... But I hate multiclassing. I might have to drop the Hungry Ghost Monk, I do prefer Stunning Fist or Punishing Kick.

Fortunately he isn't evil(just really brutal), so you're all good.
