Class that can produce scaled weapons?


Advice


I was wondering if there was a class that can generate their weapons on the fly, I know the psionic soul knife can do this, but is limited in weapon type, is there a class that do this?


There are spells that create temporary weapons, or that enhance weapons on the fly. But I'm not aware of a class based around the concept.

They dont generate weapons on the fly. They get one weapon that levels with them. Its physical though. Soul knife created weapons from thin air. I dont know of a class other than Soul Knife that does that.


Ancestor Oracle. They have a mystery that allows you to summon and gain proficiency in a simple or martial weapon that you are proficient with. It gains enhancement bonuses as you level, but it's not great. The nice thing about it is that the type of weapon isn't pre-defined. You can summon a longspear if you need reach, a composite longbow (of appropriate strength, likely) if you need range, a greataxe if you need to go through a door, etc.

It doesn't stick around forever, but you can dump favored class bonuses into it to raise it's effective level.

Aye, Oracle would be the way to go. A few gain the ability to summon some kind of weapon or weapon-like thing and they have access to the really fun item buff spells (Greater Magic Weapon and all that.)

Metal and Wood Oracles are the two I'm thinking of, Ancestor as Devo pointed out.


Thanks for the Oracle catch, I own the books and never looked at the class, this is great. I'm not thrilled about it just being static bonuses instead of being able to pick things, but its a great start.

Thanks!

I think he meant spellblade magus.

Spellblade (Archetype)

A spellblade magus can manifest a ghostly blade of force that can be used as an off-hand weapon.

Force Athame (Sp): At 2nd level, a spellblade magus can sacrifice a prepared magus spell of 1st level or higher as a swift action to create a dagger of force in his off hand. The athame lasts for 1 minute or until dismissed, has an enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls equal to the level of the spell sacrificed (maximum +5), and is considered a weapon the spellblade is holding for purposes of his arcane pool feature (using the pool to add abilities to a held weapon applies to the magus's physical weapon and to the athame for no additional cost). The athame acts as a dagger, but the hand holding it is still considered free for the purpose of casting spells and delivering touch attacks. The magus can use the athame as if he were fighting with two weapons, or can use that hand to cast spells as part of the spell combat class ability (but not both in the same round). Attacks with the athame are force attacks and deal force damage. This ability replaces the spellstrike class feature.

Spellblade Arcana: A spellblade gains access to the following magus arcana. He cannot select any arcana more than once.

Pool-Sourced Athame (Su): Instead of sacrificing a prepared spell to create the force athame, the magus can spend points from his arcane pool to do so. An athame created this way has an enhancement bonus equal to the number of arcane pool points spent.

Spellblade Parry (Su): When an enemy makes a melee attack roll against the magus, as an immediate action the magus can end the athame's duration to gain a deflection bonus to his Armor Class until the end of his next turn. This bonus is equal to the level of the spell sacrificed to create the athame (maximum +5).

Throw Athame (Su): As a standard action, a spellblade magus can throw his athame up to 60 feet as a ranged attack (no range penalty). If the athame misses, it returns automatically to the magus' hand just before his next turn. If the athame hits, it deals damage and its duration ends; the magus can choose to spend up to 2 points from his arcane pool to increase the thrown athame's damage by +1d6 for each point spent.

Magus Arcana: The following magus arcana complement the spellblade archetype: critical strike, hasted assault, pool strike, and spell shield.
