Unless you're doing it for flavour escape artist is not a useful skill for Gorghor. His CMB should be sufficient.

A monk's robe isn't going to be a great bargain for him. Some benefit to damage yes but not 13K worth. The AC bonus won't apply due to his armor of course. He is probably going to want a ring of protection and a belt adding to Str, and something like a headband of unshakeable resolve. Some item which gives an intimidate bonus might be worth getting too.

yes you are right escape artist is useless

good advice for the monk's robe, its true it wont be worthy, i will remove it from the list.
what do you think about the feats, traits and stats distribution ?
with practice I'm getting good at it but still behind my min-mix friends...
wow, Headband of Unshakeable Resolve is pretty great, im adding that, thanks

The feats and traits look good. I hate dumping Int that far because having skills to do stuff out of combat is good in the games I enjoy, but certainly that's a good set of stats for combat.

If you’re going Intimidation route, consider Cornugon Smash and a +1 cruel enchant on an Amulet of Mighty Fists for the Shaken/Sicken combo. It’s great for debuffing; -4 att, skills, saves, abilchecks, and -2 dmg.

You need rapid grapple and grabbing style

yes i also hate to min max stats, but in his case...

he is a stupid and violent person then low charisma and low intelligence is good.

okay thanks, if I'm correct i can get them with the brawler's martial flexibility.

with my fists i can deal non lethal and lethal damages, enforcer already give me a free intimidation and the shaken duration is much better than Cormugon Smash.

but the Cruel enchantment is good idea for more debuff, thanks.

also as a Brawler, he doesn't need 13 intel to qualify for combat feats which is great.

I have a similar character, but I took the constructed pugilist archetype to grapple while up to 40 ft. It loses martial flexibility but the robot arm is hilarious
