Hi,
I'm playing PFS with 20pt stat build. I'm curious if anyone can post some good builds that would mimic Gogo Yubari from the movie Kill Bill. This build would focus on wielding the Meteor Hammer as her main weapon.
Feel free to suggest any builds that keep the flavor of the character still intact please! Not sure if she should focus on less hits and more damage or rebuilding FoB (since it can't be flurried unless taking Sohei+Fighter).
Character Concept: Psychotic teenage girl with a meteor hammer.

There really isn't much to this "character", much like all of the pretty weak Kill Bill characters. All that you need is Meteor Hammer proficiency and a Chaotic Evil alignment. The rest is just flavor.

Lore Warden fighter to make maneuvers work. I'd stay away from monk levels on a 20 pt build because either your ac or your to hit and damage will be terrible due to MAD issues that Meteor Hammer doesn't help by not being finessable. Also, it's worth noting that while Sohei gives you proficiency with Armor, it still doesn't let you use Flurry of Blows in armor. Nowhere in the description of the archetype does it specify that it allows you to flurry in armor, and it is not what was intended when written.
You could go ranger if you wanted to use the two-weapon fighting for the double weapon aspect, but I would stick with Lore Warden, have a nice STR and DEX, take Combat Reflexes, use fortress mode and Improved Trip to become an AoO machine. The Tripping doesn't work against everything, but it will be effective for a long time in PFS.
Meteor Hammer really isn't that good of weapon though. It's a d8/x2 weapon that can be used a reach with a +1 to ac or a double weapon, but you can only switch modes at the start of your turn. It's like a Dwarven Dorn Dergar with a smaller damage die and no Dwarf feat support.
If you really want to make a homage to Gogo, I'd make your teenage girl a dwarf and use the Dorn Dergar instead.

While I agree it doesn't specify Sohei is allowed to flurry and may not be as it was intended but by RAW if an archetype replaces something from the original class then you use the new class's specials/proficiencies/etc.
Nowhere in Weapon/Armor proficiency for Sohei does it state that you're not allowed to flurry with armor on, and FoB is gained at level 6 and allowed to be flurried with any weapon from the chosen Weapon Training group, grabbing Weapon Training from Fighter would allow the weapon to be flurried then since Meteor Hammer isn't a part of any of the Weapon Training options from Sohei.
I would say that mostly this character would be ranged/fortress mode. I'm not sure if TWF allows you to swing 1 end of a Meteor Hammer out multiple times. Please let me know.
Also, I'd picture a Aasimar, Elf, Half-elf, or Human as options. Dwarf on the other hand seems a bit off from a Japanese schoolgirl wielding a meteor hammer. I wish Dwarven Dorn Dergar was an option but as far as I know it's not legal in PFS, let me know if it is.
What book is Lore Warden from btw? I don't believe I have the book for it (I only have Core, APG, ARG, UC, BoA).

Isn't there a Paladin feat that allows one to flurry? I'm not sure if it's restricted to the paladin's god/goddess and if there's any that have favored weapon of meteor hammer though.
I'm not too keen on buying a $13 pdf book that has a lot of negative reviews. Seems like the only useful thing from there is the Lore Warden from the sounds of it. Any other ideas? I'm not familiar with Barbarians at all, and not sure if a Ranger would work for a ranged fortress mode meteor hammer user. The only class that looks good from what I can tell is the 2handed fighter archetype though.
