The new Kineticist/Monk archetype would probably be the best for spamming energy balls, flying, and the like. VMC Barbarian on top of that and I think you're good. Otherwise Bloodrager/Brawler or Unchained Monk could work.
Could you point me at the kineticist/monk please? Have not seen it.
VMC into barb sounds like a good plan. The Archetype, is that with base monk or unchained monk?My Self |
I'd probably look at Primalist Bloodrager with the Destined or Celestial bloodline. You get rage and can cast self-buffs while raging. Later, you get the ability to self-buff while entering a rage. And you do get blasts. And rage powers. It's the best of Barbarian (minus the d12 HD), plus Bloodline powers, plus some bonus feats and 1/2 blast/buff casting. What's not to like?

It's from the new Occult book. Unless you have a subscription you will have to wait to...I think...the 29th July like the rest of us and then get the PDF. I believe Helcack is referring to one of the Kineticist archtypes (Ascetic? Elementl Ascetic? Something like that anyway) which is monk like. I'm not familiar with all the powers but Aether seems the most appropriate in my mind for a Goku character.

If you don't want to wait for the player to buy the book for you, you could use my Force Born mutation.
Go to Leveled Mutations.

Yup wait a few days to a week..
That class SCREAMS anime characters we havne't gotten to make before...
With Aeither (unless they've changed how it works since playtest) you could even make/fluff soul reaper or naruto style blade techs. Or ff if you prefer.. all the classic stuff.
It'll open up a lot of funny stuff

How would you guys suggest playing a dragon ball z esque character within the base classes?
I don't know that much about Dragonball Z, but based on what I do know, my best advice would be to play EXALTED.

Dragonball (and DBZ pre-Namek) are much more in line with low to high level Pathfinder characters than anything, so are fairly compatible.
Even up to the end of the Saiyan arc a 20th level Pathfinder character could probably replicate most of the things Goku can do, since that's really where Dragonball as a Journey to the West, mystical martial arts show truly ends and Dragonball Z as a sci-fi, Shonen serial escalator begins.
Elemental Ascetic, as mentioned, is probably the best bet, though I'd go Air rather than Aether unless you'd be willing to let your player just have a force attacks, since Aether by default requires you to telekinetically throw objects at people until the Aether/Aether Composite Blast. Lightning at least resembles a Ki Blast.

maybe allow 3.5 feats into the game there where a few that did fiery fist that lead to throwing mini fireball in the game. Also for anyone that going to play Goku Race has to be Vanaras, He is the monkey King After all. Racial Archetype was made to be Goku, Wood Affinity spend ki point to "Power Pole Extend!"
