Kotomine Kirei from the Fate series


Conversions


Hey everyone, I'm trying to stat and fit this amazing character into Pathfinder. I've got a feeling that my current gunslinger is going to bite the dust here soon enough and I wanna get something a lot more physical out and a Kirei-esque character is just what I want.

I'm thinking monk is going to be the best fit, that or some sort of buffed out unarmed magus. Do you guys happen to know of anything that would really fit?

And when I'm trying to stat him I'm pretty much running into a wall. Kirei has always come across as rather charismatic, if a little off (at least to the other characters), and incredibly strong. Only problem is Cha is such a dump stat for monks that I'm not sure how many points I could allocate him and still keep him relevant stat wise. If you have any advice for the stat part especially I'd really appreciate it. I'm afraid I'm just going to have to bite the bullet here and one or more of my stats will be suffering. (This is a 20 point buy character btw)

Kotomine Kirei like many of the people is also a master. Frankly I would just use the Sacred Fist (Warpriest archetype) and then gets Pummeling Style when you can. Frankly charismatic is not really how I would describe him, his entire deal is being able to simulate emotions, but he really doesn't care and has barely a sense of self. You could bump up his charisma if you want but I wouldn't go higher than a 13. You can give him ranks in Bluff and take a trait to make bluff a class skill for that +3 class skill bonus. Wisdom is important to him, because he is kind of people who analyze the battlefield and keep calm in most situation.

Pummeling style line of feats represents his Bajiqan style, just go in and do as much as possible with one single hit.

He has mage circuits as well but specialize, in healing and physical enhancement (Sacred Fist will give you heal spell, ability to cast buff spells as a swift action) .

Sacred fist are proficient with daggers, which you can use to represent black keys.

Strength Blessing and Healing Blessing are appropriate, since even his master in magecraft, couldn't surpass Kotomine Kirei when it came to the healing arts.

Kotomine Kirei essentially would benefit from the typical sacred fist build:

Monk of Many Styles 2/Sacred Fist for the rest of the levels, early levels in Monk of Many Styles to grab Pummeling Style of course.


Kirei might be an emotional wreck on the inside, but he was pretty good at manipulating folks.

Aside from that little note on his Charisma, Eltacolibre's advice works quite well with building up the dude's stats.


Hey, did i read a different novel? because in the one I read, Kotomine weapon of choice where 3 feet long swords he drawed out of his cape

Anyway the easy answer is a summoner, dhu. Eidolon is the servant, he is a medium bab warrior. Cha based, because he is a master of getting on other nerves. Skill focus (eating tofu) mandatory.


Well, yes he did use those black keys a lot but he was also an incredible martial artist. A large portion of his fights were finished with his fists in both of his encounters with Kiritisigu.

And that's a fair point on his sense of self. He doesn't know where he stands in most of his life, it took the power of the grail for him to experience some twisted sense of happiness but his ability to manipulate others and the way they would just sit and listen was great. I remember him being shocked that others would look to him for guidance in certain times and in the VN Emiya thought of him as real bonafide priest, one to listen too. Well, that was until he discovered his true intentions and then he straight up hated the guy like any normal person would.

But I never thought of looking into Warpriest to satisfy his arcane abilities. It's pretty awesome that there's an unarmed archetype already.
