Help making a "battle dancer" a high mobility accrobatic melee class...


Advice and Rules Questions

As you may have guessed, I like: Lightly armored, acrobatic, mobile melee characters with Skills. The swashbuckler class is great, but I am looking for more...

1. I am even willing to consider a completely unarmored acrobat of some sort, or even a variant that uses "parade armor" while working up to the use of "Mithril agile breast plate".

2. Ultimate psionics is by Dreamscarred press and Psionics may be a bit too Zanny for some to ever allow including...

But Woo, that Psywarrior, traceur variant with the dervish path!
Is this an option availiable to be played in Pathfinder Society...
(*"Yes" and I am done. "No" and I would like to know how to ask the officials to consider allowing it?)

You're not going to get the campaign to allow 3rd-party products in Organized Play. It's just never going to happen.

Have you considered a monk? It would be pretty MAD, but you could try the Kata Master archetype for panache stuff like the Swashbuckler, or the version from Pathfinder Unchained (which can get insane boosts to Acrobatics. My level 10 monk has +38 on checks to jump, and always has a running start).


PFS only allows for Paizo approved products. Even some of their own stuff isn't allowed in there. Unfortunately, since Ultimate Psionics is 3rd party, you'll not be allowed to play it in PFS.

Mobile Fighter might be a good choice for what you're trying to accomplish. You'll probably get some people in here who'll say this archetype is crap or why play a fighter that isn't an optimized hunk of crazy strength and no Int or Cha, but if you're looking for a mobile sort of character, unfortunately it's just not usually optimal. I say have fun in what you play :)

No, it is not, and no, they will not. :(


I think you want the general advice forum. This is the organized play section , which very much does not allow the third party products you're looking at.

In play, I've found the dervish dancing bard a better swashbuckler than the swashbuckler.

Dawnflower dervish bard seems perfect to me. Quite effective at low to medium levels, starts to drop behind at about L8-9

Be a bit more specific. What do you mean by "more"? What are you lacking? Try to be exact in stating what you want.

Look for builds based around the Hurtful feat. That's a way to get off multiple attacks while on the move.
