Mundo will go where he pleases! Advice on building Dr. Mundo (League of Legends)

[Virellius]

The Doctor is In! I need help building a PC based on Dr. Mundo from League of Legends. Essentially, all Hyde, no Jekyll, lots of str and con.

Essentially, I'm going with base alchemist (ragechemist so bad amirite?) and into Master Chymist.

I need massive strength and con, the ability to shrug off effects and damage, lots of Regen, and some skill with throwing cleavers (axes). I'm thinking a returning axe with some kind of bonus effect on it to imitate his cleaver throw, but I'll mainly be a melee beefcake.

I have NO experience building alchs OR with building super tanky PCs so... I need some advice sorta from the ground up.

[Zwordsman]

Well honestly tanky aint really a doable thing in pathfinder persay...

That being said.

You'll basically build him like any normal melee style.
cept you should have at least 16 int to get all extract levels.

I would suggest the self heal discovery and the improved version. I can't quite remember their names.. but they allow you to heal a bit on your own. and depending on your gm they might stack with the feat that lets you add Con mod when your healed. I forget it's exact wording though.

You'll want blink back belt OR belt of mighty hurling. If your playing in a home game, ask your gm if your allowed to pay for a combined belt (or at least a blink back belt that allows you to throw via str, if your gm doesn't want to allow fully combined)

Honestly do not take returning axe. People can catch or knock it out of the air. If you want it to return and only have one clever, then go with CAlled. Yeah it takes a swift action to retrieve it but your FAR less likely to lose it mid fight or have someone run off with it. It's not a bad way if you only intend to throw it once per round (if so perhaps vital strike if your feats are willing, but honestly not that impressive).

Ring of regen is a good idea.

Look into the magic items that allow you to combine extracts, and then allow you to swiftly appply the buffs to yourself as well. There are a lot of good items nad tricks. NJolly's guide has a few mentions.

Are you intending to use your bombs at all? Mundo doesn't really use bombs.. Honestly Mundo doesn't use most of the alchemist effects.
Your basically an alchemist purely for Master Chymist and mutagens right?

Honestly Mondo might be better represented by another class, he's almost classically a barbarian. maybe invulnable barb even, due to dr. and even then depending on how you play mundo he might even be a stalward defender (thats one way my friend plays him. He basically holds the line and I just rain death. NOt that he isn't also raining death at the same time)

If you wanted one of the costume mondo's and aren't playing super soon. Occult adventures (playtest came out last fall) has kinetcist who, if you allow fluffing, could fit the bill somewhat well, using Aetherist and always using an axe with the powers. It's a weird version but amusing to think of.

I recommend a Half-orc Primalist Spell-eater Arcane Bloodrager.

They use fast healing over DR which mimics Mundo's Ultimate very well. You could use cleavers if you wanted to just for flavor. You can always just buy lots of potions and use them.

I've posted my build on the advice page several places so do a search. The build is pretty nasty and very hard to kill. Much like mundo. And with all that movement bonus for being a bloodrager or casting spells he will go where ever he pleases.

Is there any way to gain access to third level extracts without 7 levels in alchemist?

[Zwordsman]

Nope. only alchemistand investigators.
as far as i know.

I recommend that along with Zwordsman's suggestions that you also use Lingering Spirit and the Deathless line of feats. Take a single level of Barbarian for Rage and get Berserker of the Society for +3 Rage rounds. For race I recommend Half-Orc and take the Alternate Racial Trait to get Endurance as a free Feat.

Definitely take Ablative Barrier as it goes very well with healing discoveries.
