So I've been fiddling with a the concept above for a while now, problem is I want it to wield weapons (I know it's not the best optimization wise but it fits my concept). Evolutions are clear - quadrupedal with two sets of extra legs, three sets of arms and weapon proficiency. Any feat advice? Should I go finesse or strength based? Specicific weapons?
Thanksies in advance,
PD
Tauric is actually probably a better base form for this. You don't need a bite but the extra limbs fit the description.
Since she will not be getting dex to damage, strength based is the way. Obviously multiweapon fighting is one of her feats. Probably martial or exotic weapon proficiency in a light weapon via feat rather than by evolution, all those limbs will cost. Wakizashis or waveblades would fit the image best I think. If you go strength based then power attack is expected. I might follow those with martial focus, cut from the air and smash from the air (I assume this isn't for PFS since it sounds like you're expecting more evolution points than the unchained summoner gives).
Tauric has such shitty stats... besides, it starts out small and I really don't have spare evolution points. Should I get weapon proficiency as a feat or with 4 evolution points?
With a feat IMO. 4 evolution points is a lot even for the original summoner and you have a lot of limbs to buy.
Tauric has effectively the same cost as quadruped (+1 set of limbs gives 2 EP given your goals, adding size costs 2), has a good will save instead of good reflex (minor improvement), fits the description better and has otherwise identical stats. Though I suppose Pounce is high on your buy-list all things considered.
For just all those the limbs you're looking at 10 EP. Barring feats and/or half-elf favored class bonus spent on it that's 7th level for this to start looking right. At that point it will have 3 feats, presumably EWP (wakizashi or waveblade), Multiweapon Fighting and Power Attack. If the summoner is a half-elf spending their level 1 and 5 feats it could have all the limbs at 5th level. After getting those it would cost 2 EP for increased ability (Str), or 1 EP for Pounce, or 4 EP for increased size, or 1 EP for a climb speed or 3 EP for Web. Just some suggestions.
Thank you very much!
