Cool / Badass Equipment


Advice


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I´m looking forward to discover the most cool stuff available to buy on the books of Pathfinder. I found tear-away cloth (for stripteases), tatoos, signet rings,royal clothes,pocket watches. What else did you find in order to make a character super awesome?
(forget about mechanics and advantages, I just don´t care about utility. Every coin I get, it goes to the "make myself awesome" account. I preffer being the hottest thing in Golarion than having a magic weapon)

Well, the pocket watches are pretty awesome.

One thing the majority of my characters carry is a set of merchant's scales. It's just something that I like keeping around.

EDIT: And the fireworks. Those are fun.

As far as tattoos go, Fire Ink is a version that glows like a candle's flame.
Glowing tattoo, yo.

Only downside is that it make you Sickened unless you have fire resistance. So, get some sort of fire resistance, even just 1 point is enough.
My paladin of Sarenrae got a Fire Ink Holy Symbol Tattoo because that's pure badassitry.

Side note: great for keeping track of important prisoners in your dungeon while also keeping them at a disadvantage with the Sickened penalty. Fire ink tat on the forehead; ain't nobody sneaking out with that brand.


Definetly, I love the Fire Ink.

Now, we are playing Kingmaker campaign as a LG paladin. From time to time, we do have enemies we cannot just slay outright so we have prisoners.

That's a good way to mark people without the need of killing them.


My three flavor items I use the most (with my longest played character)
is the Battle Mask, Reinforced Scarf, and Flame ink. When used together, you can have a masked, red scarfed warrior with burning tattoos obscuring everything else in the dark.

Actually now I need to make a Vigilante with those three, and see about getting the 5 points of fire resist I need to make the flame ink tattoos permanent so I can have a character that's like a mix between Cinder from RWBY and Batman.

This thread has already borne awesome fruit.

Traveler's any tool, I love it.


Spring-Loaded Wrist Sheaths for a combination of badass and practicality. They let you go Travis Bickle on folks.

Also - an Instant Fortress if you can afford one. Adventure in style with your portable adamantine château.

Glamered armor, so that full plate looks like a trench coat. A trench coat that bounces blades off it.


Beat me to it. So I'll go with armored coat in the style of a badass longcoat.

Hat of disguise. Many possibilities.

Whip. Obviously.

Blade boot. Cool off-hand weapon.

Chakram. Or for the truly adventurous, , . Starknife.


You need to talk to your dm about getting some hirelings. You need a posse!!!!


Crowbar.

You just walk around carrying that for no reason, suddenly people don't block your path in the street...

:D

Corset of Dire Witchcraft. For your male witch.

What better way to show that you give absolutely zero f***s?


I really want to try talking my GM into letting me grab the Apprentice's Cheating Gloves. At-will Prestidigitation and Mage Hand. Two great cantrips that everyone should have, and it's better than trying to cross-class my barbarian into wizard.

Transformative weapons can be fun too. It's a Greataxe! Wait, this foe needs bludgeoning ... Earthbreaker! Uh oh, reach enemy ... time for Lucerne Hammer! Your weapon is always in season. (As long as it remains the same size category, but hey, you probably wanted it there anyway.)

And Glamered armour is of course the best. Although now I wonder if glamered armour still gets bloodstained when in glamered form.

One thing I'd thought of would be to reskin one of the trade good items for something you want to do. I've often had smith characters, so one build had a 1lb iron chunk, but bearing what she had designed as her trade mark, the one she'd use once she was established. Perhaps something similar could be used in some situations.

I don't know if this would count as 'cool', 'badass', or 'cheesy and cliche', but ever consider having blunt arrows' heads shaped like a boxing glove?


Mule back cords, just for the bigger muscles.

"These thick leather cords wrap around the wearer's biceps and shoulders. When worn, they make the wearer's muscles appear larger than normal."

Ring of Splendid Security
Look like you're wearing and holding pretty much anything and it has the added bonus of basically being a pimp's ring choice.

Plus it's got functionality but whatever, PIMP RING!

Grand Lodge

For mundane?

Portable Ram. Going full SWAT team is pretty cool.

Folding Pole. A 10ft Pole that is actually portable.

Grapple Bolt: Full on Batman grapple hook.

Masterwork Backpack: A cheap godsent for some PCs.

Tanglefoot Bag: A serious battle changer in some cases.

Pesh: Cuh-Cuh-Cuh-COCAINE!!!

Reaching Vines: Tentacles!

Ripsaw Glaive: Chainsaw on a Stick.

Mithral Waffle Iron: For the pimpin' chef.

Scarab Sages

I don't know, all that stuff is nice, but it's awfully hard to beat Mithril Waffle Iron.

Grand Lodge

I find the Adamantine Chain pretty cool.

Also, I really like the Undine weaponshaft, and am a big fan of Armor Spikes.

Silver Crusade

Don't forget Shadow Stencils!


My summoner never went on adventures without his pimped out 4-person tent filled with tasseled silk cushions, expensive carpets, a collapsible bathtub and a portable iron stove for making muffins and cookies, plus a sizeable collection of "tasteful erotic art" objects. Though I guess that's easier with an eidolon able to carry the stuff...

LOL! With a one-day -4 dex penalty, seriously?

Though I guess if you wanna be badass and hang out with the cool kids, one shouldn't start by complaining about the quality of their "stuff"...

Ha ha! YES! Better make it a +1 flaming waffle iron and you can make 'em badass waffles anywhere!

Blackbloodtroll, you've officially won my "Most fun comment of the week"-award!

Mithral Waffle Iron!

OMG, I seriously can't stop laughing...

I still find it bizarre that the Mithral Waffle Iron is a printed item. What were they thinking?


There's also the Lute of the Battle Ready. Start shredding on your axe, then transform it into an actual axe and go to town. You can make it 20% more metal by casting continual flame on it and using weaponwand to embed a wand of fireballs.


My girlfriend's PC in Kingmaker not only bought a mithral waffle iron (they stick less) but used it in RP as part of her diplomatic efforts. It turned out that pixies and other fey really like waffles. I'd imagine you could get one which makes pizzelles instead if you were so inclined.

Now that's seriously badass. If you get a few levels in skald, a red outfit, a mask and a custom-made cart, you can go totally Fury Road!

Awesome. Did she serve them with pesh-jam to really get the party going? :p

My Hair Metal Skald uses a Lute of the Battle Ready, though it is a bass guitar.


The tough part is deciding whether to go Witch or Shaman to pick up the prehensile hair.

For the prehensile hair, consider getting a helmet that would have a plume or hair sticking out the top to look fancy, then pull/push your own hair through to attack with it in style. Dye your hair different color every week. Maybe replace the metal visor with a holographic, illusion display that looks onto targets like a HUD heads up display in fighter jets like in the movie top gun.


I love Injection spears and Syringe spears. A though I wish there were more offensive alchemist' infusions to use with it haha.
but it is just so neat to have the ability to inject something.

I wish there were far more neat and cost effective thigns.

Or that I could inject alchemist bombs. Or that there was an alchemist archetype that gave up infusions for free scaling alchemical items.


Spikes. On one shoulder. And a fedora.

No, the question is whether you should use your luscious locks or magnificent moustache as your appendage of choice when swinging from building to building like some kind of piliar Spiderman.

Bag of Everlasting Dung.

500gp, and all the crap you could ever want.

Fling responsibly.

You would need to get some trained monkeys to go with that.

Put them in little tuxedos and tophats. :D

I don't understand why there isn't a syringe rapier - it would be perfect for Elven Alchemists.

I actually find it useful.

Not buying it, I mean in print. It technically clarifies some of the cost/weight rules for mithral...which can have a large effect in game since it means you can easily grab some lightweight mithral weapons for a nicely priced masterowrk piece that goes through dr/silver with no penalties.

So, it is a nice rules clarification that brings a small chuckle. I think that is a good use for a small amount of page and ink.


Wayfinder is pretty cool but Ring of Splandid Security is hands down the coolest. One ring trump all items in terms of bonuses in AC, saves and spell resistance. On top of the you can your clothings can look like whatever you like. You don't have to go round getting capes, robe and ring when you only need one ring. =D
