Drunken Master Help


Advice


I'm trying to build a Monk(3)/Ninja(rest) Drunken Master specializing in Forgotten Trick. The concept works fine, but I ran into one problem: I keep running out of ale.

I've heard that I can fill a bag of holding with ale, how many drinks is this? What sort of an action would it be to drink the ale from the bag?

Is there such a thing as a straw in pathfinder?

Can I get an everlasting source of ale without a level of cleric?

Ideally I want to drink every time I get a swift action.

Im trying to make this PFS legal if possible.


Well, the Fast Drinker feat will reduce the time it takes to take a drink, but not sure there is much else. The first problem is that you need to drink a tankard's worth of ale per the archetype description, so while you could certainly rig up a straw of sorts, you still need to gulp down quite a bit of ale.

The other problem I see with the setup you have, and which is why you are likely wanting to find a way to speed up the drinking, is that you can only have 1 drunken ki point at a time. Frankly, I'm not sure its worth it to go Drunken Monk 3, but I'll confess I am not overly familiar with the ninja class. In the end, I think you'll have trouble replenishing your ki inside of combat.


I need either a cup of everfilling alcohol (if such a thing exists) or a better solution than the following:

Blinkback belt: Storing a single everfilling mug (5000)
Ioun Stone: granting immunity to alcohol poisoning (1500)
Ring of ki storing: Stores Ki, reduces the cost of forgotten trick by 1 (10,000)
Quickdraw: Draws mug as a free action, drops mug as a free action returning it to the blinkback belt.

I plan on drinking up to 200 times an hour, so this has to be sustainable.

what is your str?

the fast drinker feat is odd because it changes drinking the tankard to a swift action but says nothing about drawing it or picking it up- so you're still gonna be burning through actions... if you're strength is low you could fill a BoH with ale but will end up wasting standard actions to fill your tankard with it. your best bet would be trying to get some kind of bandolier that will hold a ton of tankards (with spring loaded lids that won't spill but don't cost an action to open...) and the quick draw feat to grab them for free. well, truthfully your best bet is probably to come up with a different concept, but the best bet i can see for making this one work is to try to sell a GM on that system; i seriously doubt that would be PFS legal though, since it depends on a special tankard-bandolier and special tankards- neither of which exist in Golarion (as far as i know).

edit: the blinkback belt specifies that it holds weapons specifically- and that things are teleported back after being "thrown" (not dropped). also, i don't know of any "everfilling mug" anywhere (though i know they were popular in at least one RPG Superstar)- so you might be able to convince a GM to invent one but it wouldn't be PFS legal.


I haven't decided if I'm going to be STR or Dex based yet. I want to spam stealth so I'm thinking DEX, but at the end of the day its only 5 points difference.

I found a flask of endless sake that's pfs legal (So that's taken care of). I still don't know if its the best option, but at 4000 gold I don't feel bad buying it.

New Plan:
Skill Focus: Engineering
Eldritch Heratage: Arcane
Familiar: House Centipede

Plan:
Have the centipede spend full round actions to feed me sake from the flask its holding.

Waaaaay cheaper.

New Questions-

Can the centipede hide in my space? If not, what solutions are there to not giving away my position while I'm trying to hide? Can it feed me potions from inside a bag of holding?

PFS specific questions-
The item in question is found in "Pathfinder #52: Forest of Spirits (pg. 60)".

Do I -have- to play the chapter to get the item? What alternatives to this are there?
