So a while ago I asked for advice on a gnome gun magus, I brainstormed for a couple of days before coming to the conclusion that it wouldnt work.
I made the gnome a bomb alchemist and called it a day but now I found a fun little idea that I wanna ride to the end.
Basically I use the Tinkerer archetype and have the familliar take the mauler archetype so it becomes medium, therefore useable as a mount by the small gnome.
After this I take all the feats a bomber alchemist would take with 2 levels in eldritch guardian fighter so the familliar would also gain all those feats.
Next I use the greater tinkering ability to give the familliar a feat to use for a good weapon as proficiency feats are not combat feats. Probably the light crossbow, I give the familliar two of these to use the two-weapon fighting it gets from the eldritch guardian. Next I take the Spell knowledge discovery and quicken spell with as much metamagic level reduction as I can to hopefully bring it down to a level where I can cast it.
So now We have a gnome with perfect flight that alpha strikes with 5 bombs, 4-5 magic missles and 5 crossbow shots from the familliar. Reloading is not an issue due to the shadowshooting property from Blood of Shadows.
My apologies for the wall of text but it's a rough idea to fit the character and it's very late.
The gist of this is, Can this absolute madness be achieved?
