Hello, I would need to ask for advice.
I wish to create a character oriented in the use of the natural poison, not crafted for the combat and affected several opponents (goo and so on). (20 level, 20 points)
Race : Human
Racial traits : Poison Minion instead Skilled.
Archetypes : Venomblade, Martial Master, Mutation Warrior (optional for the last archetype) (other suggestion)
Feat : Racial Heritage : Nagaji, Grippli,Vishkanya.
0/ Is it possible to take several racial heritage feats ?
1/ Is it possible to obtain the discovery toxic skin with mutation warrior with the racial heritage (grippli) ?
Feats interesting :
- spit venom (combat)
- viscous venom (combat)
- toxic spray (combat)
- virulent venom (combat)
- Hemorhaging Venom (combat)
- sleep venom
- deadly kiss
- vishkanya perfume
- dispelling blood
- ghostbane ichor
- unraveling blood
- warding blood
- Defiant Luck
- Inexplicable luck
- combat reflexes (combat)
- power attack (combat)
- cut from the air
- smash from the air
- spellcut
- Hamatulatsu (Combat)[Improved Unarmed Strike, Weapon Focus (unarmed strike)] : Your unarmed attacks can deal either bludgeoning or piercing damage.
- pernicious stab (combat)
- powerful poisoning : but DC limited 25.
- treacherous toxin : but DC limited 25.
- agile tongue
- toxin secretions
Magic items : Ophidian Coil, vibrant frog hide, Vishkanya Periapt
2/ Is it possible to replace the bleed damage from Hemorhaging Venom, the acid damage from Virulent venom by an other effect ? nonlethal damage or other similar effect ?
3/ What are the interesting feats above and why ? (other suggestions about the other feats ?)
Thanks for your future help.
0: Racial heritage isn't a feat which says you can take it multiple times so no.
1: Mutation warrior doesn't give you that option (assuming it's deadly excretions) as a discovery. If it did you'd still have the problem that you don't have the toxin skin alternate racial trait which it requires and modifies - racial traits aren't the same as traits.
2: There's probably an extract or spell which does this, which doesn't help a fighter admittedly.
3: If you're going to be a fighter then venomblade requires nagaji which makes their feats more interesting. I do like cut from the air/smash from the air.
1: i tried to pair venom-blade with gloom-blade archtype. it turned out great!. (u get a free magic weapon upgraded by level, AND acrobatics which help get into flanking to use your venomblade sneak attack) i called it the Vloomblade! (friend heard wrong and thought i said vroom-blade. vroom-vroom became a meme)
2: pick ability focus(spit venom) to give your venom feat tree +2 to dc
3: tactics:
once your spit can do aoe (i believe it's via toxic spray)remember that aiming for a grid is dc 5 only. so you can spray a grid and effect everyone who start there or move in there as if you directly hit them with the venom ,entangling as well with no save. so they need to waste their turn getting out or attacking while entangled. so reach weapon is a given to pick them while they cant do a lot.
also if you do hit with your spit the target is actually hit twice. once in your turn and once when it start it's turn in the aoe radius.at level 20 that is 7d6 acid in both rounds.beside tee other effects.
also try to get the extra sneak attack feat. the damage add up. (5d6 sneak +1d6 if you hit and spray to each attack beside the first +7d6 acid. +7d6 acid on his turn and since were talking about a target that failed the save to get blind also 2d6 bleed on top. not including the normal weapon damage ,power attack etc etc. gets really high very fast!).
also try not to relay too much on poison (unless making a monster themed) as a lot of things are immune to it and or to acid.(hence why i picked gloomblade to overlap and add any needed arsenal to the build. going true neutral give full use of holy\unholy\chaotic\law weapons enhancements. as well as being the nagaji's godess - Nalinivati aligmnet)
Is it possible to make sneak attack with a spit venom ?
Is it possible to make slashing or percing damage with a spit venom ?
spit venom no, but since it can blind it open up the sneak on other attacks.
maybe the acid damage from the following feat tree. as you can do sneak attack with spells that do ranged touch attacks (famus acid splash sla rogues).
remmber that at most one has 5+1/3 levels per day to spit = 8 at level 18+ so you can run out of it in an intense combat situation.
With a gestalt character (fighter/vigilante), is it possible to take the vishkanya feats with racial paragon and nagaji feats with racial heritage : nagaji ?
