Ways to a colossal PC

[KahnyaGnorc]

I was trying to think of ways to create a PC that can go Colossal, and the only ways I can think of are:

-Synthesist Summoner with the Huge Evolution UMD-ing an augmented Expansion Power Stone* to increase size by two size categories. (*or any other Psionic Item that can produce that effect)

-Synthesist Summoner with the Huge Evolution and a Vitalist cohort (or other PC in group) with Expanded Knowledge(Expansion), since Expansion is a Network power for Vitalists.

Any other ways?

Be a half-giant with the large template and you have a huge pc.

Half-giants are medium with powerful build, so they would become large with powerful build.

Still, that does bring up an option:

- Large PC, Transmogrifist Psion with the level 8 ability and Metamorphosis (+3 Size category increase).

Although making a large PC race is less likely to be accepted by GMs.

I've always felt this game was missing later evolutions of beast shape that would let you be a kraken, blue whale. etc. As KhanyaGnorc pointed out, a Transmogrifist Psion gets you to Gargantuan, but good luck starting out Large.

Using Paizo material only? I can't think of any possible way.

And there doesn't need to be.

Awesome as it would be, there are no ways I know of to actually grow a PC to Colossal. Short of houseruling (it does seem like the type of thing a Mythic Druid should be able to do), I think your best bet is via possession. Magic Jar or Possess Object could theoretically get you in control of humongous organic and inorganic items, respectively. (Sadly, Possess Object acts as Animate Objects, which requires a caster level of 32 to affect a colossal object.)

Of course, there's always illusion magic...

Can you use Aid Another and get a bunch of other casters to help you possess a Colossal object?

[KahnyaGnorc]

Thanks for the replies. I suppose Synthesist plus augmented Expansion seems the best route.

There are silly tricks to get your CL pretty dang high. Now I want to have an NPC that permanently possesses a castle...

That is one of the more interesting paths a character can go on.

Indeed. The Golem Constructor Wizard feat is probably going to be helpful, here. Alternately, a Cleric with the Construct subdomain of the Artifice domain could work quite well here, too.

Does anyone else want to play a Dwarven Cleric of Torag that rides around in a huge dwarf-shaped Jäger now?

The only Paizo-only way to do this is via Magic Jar type effects.
