Greetings one and all-

Over the past 24 hours I have devised the ultimate Character Build- mainly because I was I was bored as a fish, but also because IT'S THE GREATEST BUILD EVER. Now, I'm sure, while reading this you are probably itching with anticipation. You're probably asking "Mr. Elf guy, tell me this awesome build thing because I want to know and I litterally have nothing better to do than read this and realize that I AM in fact asking this." Fear not little ones. All in good time. I want to let you know that when I actually do tell you, you can't just go and tell people. This was mine, and mine own. Anyway... I'm just going to tell you. The build of all builds, to end all builds is... an ALCHEMIST INQUISITOR DIP. Lol. Ok so I probably appear as an idiot. Or at least more of an idiot that I constantly am. But tell me why it's bad. Do it, you won't.


What kind of an Alchemist do you plan on making, and what do you feel that the Inquisitor dip will add?


I'm confused. An alchemist with 1 level of inquisitor or and inquisitor with 1 level of alchemist, or some sort of split?

To you guys above-

It is an Alchemist with 2 levels of Alchemist and 1 level of Inquisitor. It's amazing. It's ok to be jealous, I would be as well is someone came up with a great idea similar to this. It's amazing.

That still does not answer my question. It could work, depending on what you are trying to do. Those are both versatile classes.


Wow, that build is really good sounding now that I think about it. Nothing compared to my monk5/magus1 though, simply nothing can compare to that.

To be honest, you aren't trying to do much but I just got sick of being primarily a damage dealer, and I wanted to have more magic abilities and be more supportive of the party. Idk. Just seems fun. You're taking this way too seriously.

Also yes, Monk/Magus seems amazing.

Done. Flagged the first post to be moved to the right forum.

NO ONE EXPECTS THE CHEMIST INQUISITION!

Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. Our two weapons are surprise and fear. And mixing in a little magnesium dust to make things burn really bright and hot. Among our weapons are...

This is amazing, I'm so glad you made an alias for this. I told you guys. It's amazing.

I'm familiar with Alchemists, but not Inquisitors. What is so great about the combination?

Toloriel, it's unclear quite what you're trying to get out of these posts. Currently it seems like you're asking people to dispute your secret character build without seeing what it is you've done, accompanied by provocative challenges that nobody can disprove you in a contest that has unclear goalposts.

If you want to get the most out of this thread, I recommend providing more information about what you're doing in terms of mechanics, reminding everyone to be jealous of what you've done (it's confrontational and is going to attract more joke responses as a result), rephrasing what kind of conversation you want to have, or any combination of the above.

If you like, treat this as an informal restart to the thread.

I get the impression that it is a joke thread.

Sounds like this was posted into the wrong "General Discussion" Forum.

I thought it was spam.

It's a joke, but yeah sorry. Just wanted to see what you guys thought, to be honest. Idk. Bump.

Being pretentious and vacuous smacks into poes law so quickly there's no challenge in it.

About what?

No one expects Poe's Law! Our chief weapon is satire! Or is it? Yes. It is. OR IS IT?!

Among our weapons are satire or possibly the lack of satire...

Silver Crusade

Inquisitor can be a good 1 or 2 levels dip for wisdom synergy. I don't really see what an alchemist gets out of it though.

Don't tell me this about putting bane on bombs or some bs like that.

If you actually want a constructive response, you'll need to expand on your idea. Otherwise, you're really just wasting people's time, including those who come to the Advice forum in the interests of genuinely trying to assist fellow Pathfinder players (I count myself in that camp).

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but a thread without any bona fide request for advice probably ought to have been posted somewhere different.


Builds carry no interest to me. I'd rather hear the backstory of a good Golarion based character than hear about someone's power gaming ambitions.


I for one welcome our new ambitious power-gaming overlords.

Grenadier Alchemist 2 / Relic Hunter Inquisitor 1, take Transmutation for the ability to give your weapon Bane a couple times a day. It helps that you want Wisdom to shore up your weak save too, and if you're not bombing your Intelligence doesn't have to be that high. 15/12/14/14/13/8 for stats pre-racial, chug mutagens and apply alchemical weapons to a 2H weapon of your choice for good damage.

To everyone on this post thread-

I am sorry one of my friends was took my account and made this posting. I am sorry that they were wasting your time. I had was telling him about this and he thought it would being funny to make a joke like this. I am sorry


Dude, your "friend" wrote that self-deprecating OP? Ditch them for someone whose sense of humor comes pre-packaged with a conscience.

Closing this thread. If this is supposed to be a joke thread, take it to off-topic.

Toloriel (and everyone else), I understand that some folks feel that paizo.com is "just a harmless site" and that there isn't any harm in a friend accessing or posting on your account, but if, for example, you have PFS information, downloads or saved payment information on your account, access from other individuals can cause a significant amount of damage. If you are on a shared computer, log out when you are done using paizo.com or done with your time on the computer, do not have auto log or electronically saved passwords and be careful whom you trust with your devices. Even if you have no information or data or anyway in which someone could cause damage, practicing good account security on the small stuff, will help keep you sharp for the important things like banking data. </soapbox rant about information security>.
