Chainsaw Character


Advice


In our most recent game, I got completely murderlated by a chainsaw wielding Orc Barbarian. The party, feeling bad for me, decided that I could use the +1 chainsaw with my next character.

The problem is, we already have two fighters (A natural weapon bloodrager/dragon disciple and a trip Brawler).

So there's really no need for two-handed barbarian or fighter and I don't want to outclass them with damage.

So!

Any ideas for odd characters, weird builds, or cool trick that could be done by a character wielding a chainsaw?


Intimidation. Chainsaw gives you a +2 to it.


Dazzling Display build. Because Chainsaw.

Order of the Cockatrice Gnome Cavalier. Because tinker-gnomes are a thing that should be played often.

Possibly adding bard and going Battle herald, because melee love teamwork feats for free and buff/debuff support.

It would be EPIC.

Vivisectionist Alchemist sounds appropriate as well as hideously deadly.

Another possibility: A Summoner whose Eidolon wields the chainsaw. Said Eidolon could be a "childhood nightmare come to life" sort of thing (Spiritualist would be an excellent alternative as well, save that a Phantom, unlike an Eidolon, isn't always in a physical state capable of wielding a chainsaw; I'm not yet fully versed in them).

The summoner idea is great! And I would play it, if our DM hadn't banned all pet classes for this game. xD

(We have six players, so he feels like pet classes slow the game down.)

It's a medium chainsaw, so I can't play a gnome. Boo.

Also, considering the amount of robots in our game, Dazzling Display would probably be pretty bad, unless I'm missing someway to scare robots.

Sovereign Court

Titan Mauler Barbarian 2/Magus X Furious Finish?
Spell combat? Why bother.
Pre-cast Shocking Grasp and hold the charge, Vital Strike/Furious Finish next round.
Is it optimal? Nah, but imagine critting for 29d6+static and telling the GM "Oh btw, its maximized from furious finish".

It'd take DM handwaving but a Bladebound Magus with a Chainsaw for a BlackBlade screams fun.
