are you asking what you might make next? because i have been kicking around an idea for a while a wrathful holy executioner build thing.
bloodrager paladin or bloodrager inquisitor or paladin inquisitor as a "holy bounty hunter"
I wasn't quite asking, but i take requests.
What exactly do you want them to do?

I apologize for comepletly derailing this thread.
Nah. The "best" (fastest) way to grow a thread is OT discussion or vtrolic argument or both, and I prefer the OT discussion method of growing a thread...

Think holy executioner out to hunt down evil and punish those who break the law where ever it may be found. a god's holy wrath incarnated on two leg.maybe something that walks the line and has a risk of falling with one miss step. I was thinking of using all three of the classes I mentioned. but then my thinking breaks down after that.
A list of classes is hardly helpful- classes are just a way to get to an end goal.
"A holy executioner" can be easily pulled off by paladin. If you want one focused on those who break the law, paladin with a prestige class into hellkinght.

Hellknights are lawful.
if I remember correctly hellknight was something others called the organization to try to cast it in a bad light, and so they took the name and owned it. also they model themselves after the most efficient and organised military in any plane, the lawful evil armies of hell. I'm a bit sketchy on the lore but that's what I remember. Hellknights can be good, evil, or neutral, but always lawful

^^^This is correct.^^^
When Hellknights were first established (before they had a name), it was by a guy named Dundel Ruel. His son had gotten mixed up in a demon cult and died, and his wife had been deceived and murdered, too. The cult had built up its presence and power and influence in the ancient city there (under the guise of "totally not a demon cult, you guys") until they had so many corrupt officials in their pocket, as long as they maintained even a facade of not being a demon cult, they could get away with murder - literally. It was anarchy.
So he collected his posse of vigilantes, and waged a personal war against them.
A number of corrupt priests of the god Aroden (the god had nothing to do with this; it was just corrupt priests falsely acting in his name), and several wealthy elite denounced the guy and his followers as "Hellknights" and heretics for not following the priestly mandates. Dundel then owned it, instead, spurning the corrupt priests of the religion that denounced him, and declaring that they followed absolute order. As he technically hadn't violated any laws, he was allowed free and eventually won.
Thus was the beginning of the Hellknights.
Of course, delighting in the name, Asmo immediately set about attempting to corrupt the organization, but Dundel's best bud quickly ascended to become a Lictor (the highest position in the organization) of a new Order, called the Order of the Scourge. Dundel's order, the Order of the Wrack, worked with the 'Scourge to develop the Chain and Measure until one night Dundel disappeared and the Order of the Wrack was destroyed in a mysterious fire. By that point, several new orders had popped up, though, and the Hellknights were well and truly established as a force for absolute Lawfulness.
Much, much later, during the Chelaxian civil war (caused by the death of Aroden), when the country threatened to kill itself from sheer infighting, the extremely talented Abrogail Thrune I managed to convince an extremely charismatic and persuasive lictor that only house Thrune had any chance at all of winning the civil war.
Convinced of this, he called a major council of all of the lictors of the various Orders, and gave a very persuasive presentation. Despite many objections, and despite the fact that most of them didn't like it at all, eventually his arguments won out, and the Hellknights agreed to support Thrune, but only until and unless they, as a whole, deemed the alternative less awful in every way.
(As an aside: that same lictor later fell into heresy and his order was eradicated by his once-fellow Hellknights.)
The Order of the Scourge (already the most influential) became the defacto head of the Hellknights in organizing the suppression of the various civil war factions, and Abrogail I was so impressed that, after the civil war, she offered to make them her personal bodyguards, and shower them with honors and riches.
The lictor of the order told her, "No: you and your people are only in charge so long as we deem you less terrible than civil war. As soon as you cross the line, we're going to replace you." and then - and I love this part - they built a brand new citadel sitting juuuuuuuuuuuust outside of Egorian, just so they could watch the Thrunes, and stand as an eternal reminder/threat to them.
Abrogail I was so ticked, that she nearly had them all beheaded, and then remembered, "Oh, yeah, if I do that, I'll lose everything, as the collective of Hellknights can squash me like a bug." so she "graciously" allowed them to leave with their heads (and thus her throne) intact. Thrune has also tried (with some success, albeit limited) to create more loyalty by establishing charters for more Hellknight orders - one of which claimed the name of the Order of the Wrack. This new Order of the Wrack claims to be the inheritors of Dundel's original order, but they clash with the Order of the Scourge all the daggum time.
Hellknights over all skew toward lawful neutral.
The Order of the Wrack skews toward lawful neutral with a strong thread of lawful evil.
The Order of the Scourge - the oldest non-broken order of all Hellknights - skews toward lawful neutral with several strong members of lawful good.
They are definitely in the midst of a cultural battle for their soul, however, as Asmook really wants to own them, and is working through Thrune to try to make that a reality. Given the success rate of the "Thrunite" orders, it doesn't look good for old A-face.

Yay
Can you do a Jack the Ripper kind of guy. The only place I seen him was in Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, in his own DLC, where he was mutilating people to death, scaring everyone else in the process. And there was text flashing on the screen, saying "kill him" and "traitor". Not psycotic at all.

More spefically, what does he fight with, and how does he fight with it?

He fights with kukris and appears to frantically make several long and deep cuts in the torso/abdominal region. His primary targets are assassins (Batman that sometimes kill) and prostitutes.

It so badly wants to be Indy, but I just don't buy Indy being a 3/4 BAB caster. Maybe I'm being too picky.

Alright, so, not really done too much work on it yet, but I realized that it happens to be a one handed slashing weapon.
With thst fact, and the whip feats, putting it the hands of a swashbuckler gives them a 10 foot threatened reach and a 15 foot reach otherwise.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Turns out the're really isn't too much special to be done.
Charmed life allows you to get stupid lucky, swashbuckler with slashing grace gets dex to damage, and precice strike is obviously great. Whip feats do the rest of the Indy stuff.
Whirlwind attack is also interesting, as it has a reach of 15 feet.
^^ That's pretty important. ^^
:)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Indy more or less ends up being a swashbuckler with-
Important gear-
+5 dueling whip (the one that gives you double your enchantment bouns as a luck bouns to CMB with the weapon)
Traits-
Prehensile whip, fortune's favored
Weapon focus (whip)
Slashing grace (whip)
Whip mastery
Improved whip mastery
Greater whip mastery
And possibly the guns and other things? I rememebr basucally nothing about the movies, so, add what needs to be added past that.

there's an archetype i think that gets you onehanded weapon + pistol stuff too - might be a gunslinger or swashbuckler

what's birb?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Armor on a tiny creature isn't that helpful - half the armor bonus means you're paying 17 500 gp for a +2 AC. This is a case where bracers of armor are better. Also since you're using immediate actions a lot, it may be worth getting a corset of delicate moves in case you ever want to use a swift action.

Can't be tiny, only small. The wild whisperer archtype can only do small and medium as per beast shape 1.
I don't even know what that second item is.

Living Grimoire Inquisitor? Smash people with a holy book. It's pretty bad but I'm playing it tomorrow in PFS.
I'll look into it.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
So, from what I found, there are two really cool things about living grimoure.
Both of them stem from the fact that all language used to refer to the living grimoure doesn't actually stop it from being an improvised weapon- it can just be enchanted as if it wasn't, and you don't take a penalty for wielding it.
This is huge, as the suprize weapon trait will net you a +2 to hit on it's own.
Secondly, If you take catch off guard, the book will make targets flat footed if they don't have a weapon. The second one is only really useful if you make a habit of disarming people.

My goodness, there is. I'm off to look into that now.
I still think it would be better on a rogue even though you only get it by level 7.
Any mechanical backup for that?
I seem to be missing how you can get it with just fighter by level 6.
3 feats from normal progression.
4 feats from fighter (1,2,4,6)
A total of 7 times.
8 is needed to get to dominate person.
A foxy Dragon-
2 scaled fist monk/2 viking fighter/unchained rouge 2
Race-
Kitsune

Nine-tailed scion
Feats -
Improved unarmed strike
