Mister Full BAB Multi-Multiclass


Advice


1 person marked this as a favorite.

As a thought experiment and potential PFS build, I'm trying to mix every full BAB class together one level at a time. I can't figure out how to go above 6th very easily. Preferably using hardbooks only as I'm sure it'd be plenty easy with splats.

Human
S14 D16 C14 I10 W10 H14

1. Fighter (Unbreakable), Feats: Power Attack, Two-Weapon Fighting, Diehard, Endurance
2. Barbarian (Drunken), Rage, ability to extend rage by drinking alcohol.
3. Ranger (Guide -or- Favored Enemy: Human), Toughness (Gain lots of class skills)
4. Cavalier (Standard Bearer - Banner instead of Mount), Order of the Seal, Challenge (with Trip on a full attack via Order), Tactician (Outflank) (Gain Linguistics and Disable Device as class skills), level bump to Dex
5. Gunslinger (Mysterious Stranger w/ Blunderbuss -or- Musket Master, and swap Cha for Wis get Rapid Reload), Dodge
6. ????? If I can't do anything else, a second level of fighter
7. Horizon Walker, Improved Two Weapon Fighting
8. Stalwart Defender

I could also take a bard level at 6th and then qualify for the Battle Herald, which would push Stalwart Defender to 9th, but I wouldn't actually have full BAB. If I pick up weapon finesse and Mobility I could go Duelist, but the class features aren't likely to do anything for this build.

Anything for 6th level? Suggestions for beyond Stalwart Defender?

If I'm not going through the prestige classes, I could just take second levels of each and that would take me to ten.

If I went Lawful, I'd be skipping Barbarian, but pick up Paladin and potentially Monk, although it's also a pseudo full babber.

You can add Monk(Martial Artist) without changing to lawful if you don't mind the psuedo-bab, but you would never be able to use it in armor. You could also add a level of Warrior NPC class. Duelist is also full BAB


6. Maybe Shieldmarshal? Gives you some inquisitor-like judgments more geared toward that gunslinger level. Not exactly optimal, but then neither is omniclassing.


Several d10 prestige classes require lawful alignment, so if you do switch to paladin instead of barbarian take another look through the list.

Liberty's Edge

If you go chaotic evil you can pick up anti-paladin. Doesn't do you any good for PFS, but it is very good for the general full BAB build. I generally preferred 2 levels of most classes, 2 levels of Anti-paladin and 2 levels of wild rager is quite a potent combo.

It is worth noting that if you change alignment to lawful after having gained your 2 levels of wild rager while you will lose rage you will not lose the extra melee attack nor the speed increase from barbarian, worth thinking about if you go the Lawful Good route.

Dark Archive

Evil characters are not allowed in PFS play, though. So he does not have those options.

Scarab Sages

You could start as a NG Barbarian, change to LG and take Paladin. You would lose the ability to rage, but keep everything else from the barb levels.

hmmm... if you switched your race to (vanilla) aasimar you could take 1 level of EK at 6th (full BAB and a bonus feat)?

if you switch to lawful (replace barb with pally) 1 level of hellknight (listed as hellknight commander on pfsrd) could work well. and, if you're willing to tie yourself to a specific faction, the steel falcon (on pfsrd, i think its actually the eagle knight) is an option too.

aldori swordlord, student of war, or low templar are all possibilies (though they don't add much to the build).

i'm sure there are others too but that's all i can think of right now.

Once ACG is out you can replace the Barb with a Bloodrager, who has no alignment restriction.

This build will make you a better roleplayer. ;)


Actually, the Revised Advanced Class Guide Playtest is legal for PFS play right now. :)

Just using the PRD --

CRB:
Barbarian (non-Lawful)
Fighter
Paladin (LG only)
Ranger

APG:
Cavalier

UC:
Gunslinger

ACG (playtest):
Bloodrager
Brawler
Slayer
Swashbuckler

That's 10 Base Classes (9 of which can be taken without alignment changes).

Prestige Classes --

CRB:
Duelist

APG:
Horizon Walker
Stalwart Defender

That's 12-13 levels right there.

Add in Paths of Prestige and you get:
Aldori Swordlord
Golden Legionnaire (must be Good)
Knight of Ozem (must be a follower of Iomedae)
Lantern Bearer (must be Good; must be elf or half-elf)
Shieldmarshal

With those, you're looking at 16-18 levels (depending upon race--the OP indicated Human, so Lantern Bearer would be out).

Cheers!

You can't multiclass ACG classes with their base classes. Using Bloodrager instead of Barb is good for the alignment issue, but you cant do Fighter/Brawler Swashbuckler, Ranger/Slayer, or Gunslinger/Swashbuckler.


Arg!

I forgot! I guess I shouldn't post when I'm sick. :P


Thanks for all the advice, you groovy cats.

A gold star for Cartmanbeck for that... character?

And to WWJ for the complete list. I'm only going to 12th, but that list makes lawful look like the way to go.

For the practical purposes of actually making this dude, I'll probably just stick with Fighter, Barb, Cav and Ranger as their first two levels function the best... if'n I can figure out a way to make the ranger bonus feat function in heavy armor, or trade it away in such away that I won't lose favored enemy. If'n I can't, I'll take gunslinger levels in their stead, or keep the ranger levels and swap the Fighter to Lore Warden.
