Good diet, rigorous exercise, rational thought, commitment to education, and abstaining from all contaminants of the flesh.

Ha ha! No, just kidding. I butcher enemies and take their +stat gear, same as most folks.


leveling up and loot<--the only methods I know of

You could collect templates by corrupting yourself, or asking a succubus for her sweet sweet profane gift.

3. Other methods...
EDIT: 4. Create (greater) undead spells.
EDIT: 5. Crafting a particular sort of phylactery...

Grand Lodge

Currently, I'm loving the Controlled Rage from the Urban Barbarian.

All the STR bonus from Rage (or CON or DEX, whatever) w/ none of the bad aftertaste (loss of AC, etc.).


Primal Companion hunter looks interesting, since it is basically a watered down and balanced synthesist.

You can give your animal companion eidolon evos for minutes/level/day, and if it is dead, you get the evos instead.

Even if you just grabbed the ability score increases and natural armor boosts...that is a rather powerful ability. Minutes/day is basically like uses/day since most fights last less than a minute. And the boosts are fairly analogous to things like inquisitor judgments.

And then you can do get cool stuff like flight, blindsight, huge skill boosts, DR vs an alignment, getting your weapons treated as alignment, etc. etc.

The archetype also stacks with the one that trades teamwork feats (no companion- so meh) for a domain.

Primal Hunter is absolute nuts. Tee animal companion is a far better chassis for evolutions than the eidolon and you will soon hit the level, where you can activate it every fight.


Certainly. The companion is strong, and you suddenly turn into a tank yourself it if dies. Well on par with the standard action summon monsters as a back up plan, in my opinion.

Even if it is 'watered down', it still has a lot of synthesist goodness.

Dark Archive

Barbarian rage, alchemist ragechemist archetype, 4 levels of dragon diciple, the right combinations of weapon enchants, enlarge person, and the best belt of strength my WBL allows. I was able to theorycraft a 44 str Muscle Wizard for level 9.

Shame the build is propped up on balsa wood stilts.


Starting play as Human and then boosting every 4th level.


free mutigan:
dipping one level into mutant fighter. you get the +1 bab, free feat and a mutigen, that will give +2 natural armor, and +4 to str\dex\con with a minor panilty of -2 to wis\int\cha.(best part is that you cheated , as the class ability this replace only comes at level 3 which you don't even take ;) it last 10 min but you can remake as many as you like each day as long as you got an hour spare to make it.
EDIT: i actuly found a secret boon to this in a difrent aspect. i thrown it into the gapping mouth of a tentacle beast who was trying to eat a teamate. it failed it's save and was nausated for 1 hour ;)

the free magic item crafting :
take any caster with summon monster I as a spell(or spell like ability(summnor) and at level 6+7 take 2 levels of souldrinker(or souleater depand the web page your looking at). that will give you all the soul points you can handle for a free daily crafting (max crafting magical items per day is 2000 gp base with the higher dc. so raw material worth 1000 gp = worth of 10 soul points). by summonig a pony and draining it's 2 hd 5 times each day...youl also need magical item crafting feats.
