The best part is that bashing with a shield that doesn't have a boss gains the agile trait, so you have a bossed shield and unbossed shield and you can use all of the agile-requiring TWF feats.
Sorry for sticking with the shields discussion, but I only heard that here:
What, How and Where? The martial weapons list Shield Bash as non-agile and nowhere did I find that Shield Bashs are agile. Can you tell me where it says that please?

Are you jealous of these casters having all the fun blasting a lot of enemies? Say no more, now you can do it too.
Flurry Edge
Level 1: Animal Companion Bear or Bird
Level 2: Alchemist Dedication
Level 4: Quick Draw
Level 6: Mature Animal Companion
Level 8: Free
Level 10: Incredible Companion
Done
Put the bear in range of more than one creature and use the work together, throw an bomb and see the bear claw every creature that took splash damage with their reach.
Bird can do the same but with bleed damage.
Alchemist main works too but the Animal Companion work together will be weaker and the creature will take more splash damage because of the Alchemist feats.

Oh GDI, THAT messes things up. :/ Fantasy Grounds seems to incorrectly list it as being agile.
Well, need to make a few tweaks to that build, then...

It's not Arcane Shield, it's Shield, using the Arcane tradition.
Shield says if used to block you can't cast it ("the Shield spell") again.
Those other Cantrips you have, they're also the Shield spell. You can't cast them.
Much like if you had a Primal Fireball and an Arcane Fireball. If not allowed to cast "the Fireball spell" you couldn't cast either.
Sorry. I kinda hoped to do the same trick.

Last night was just speculating this with a Fighter or Rogue, but I like yours better because "Bombs" is a poor weapon group when you have such a limited supply and ranged Sneaks are hard after round one. Plus Quick Draw works well.
And if you can get in the Master Monster Hunter, you can deduce enemy weaknesses really well.Info/Hunt Prey/Quick Draw-Throw
And Hunt Prey's effect on increments is pretty nice.
I'll have to give the build another attempt.

Hunted Shot is great with the bow he uses as backup.
The build doesn't actually get enough bombs for multiple combats (or even one long combat) until higher levels. And sometimes a utility alchemical item is precious enough you have even fewer bombs.Though yes, perhaps he meant a higher level feat given the slot, though he does have the 1st level one unstated so could get it there. Should.

I wish there was a way to combine "quick bomber" with feats that involve a ranged attack that are compatible with thrown bombs (like Hunter's Aim). As it stands, I am left to wonder what the alchemist is doing with their hands a lot of the time.
I present to you, The Master Yeeter:
Master Yeeter was a simple human (or half-elf/half-orc), he was spending his time crafting fancy little wooden sculptures, in his simple looking wooden cabin, in an unnamed (mostly wooden) forest.
But then a brawl erupted by some murderhobos chasing goblins, and they crashed on his pretty little wooden sculptures.
Annoyed, he grabbed a goblin and he Yeeted it away, unfortunately, the goblin landed on one such sculpture and got impaled.
Actually angry this time around that one more of his sculptures got broken, he grabbed a murderhobo that was nearby, and Yeeted him away as well, only to land on a second sculpture, one with pretty lights on it, and electrocuted the poor adventurer.
Dispirited, he gathered his satchel of sculpting supplies (i.e. stakes, vials, nails, spears, deadly blades, you know, the usual) and moved on.
Our Master Yeeter is a Human/Half-X Ranger, fighting with a Hatchet on one hand and a spiked Gauntlet on the other. He has Flurry Edge.
Level 1: Twin takedown
Level 2: Fighter MC
Level 4: Combat Grab
Level 6: Snare Specialist
Level 8: Powerful Snares
Level 9(human): Monk MC
Level 10: Crushing grab
Level 12: Yeet (Whirling Throw)
-build complete-
Level 14: Lightning snares
Level 16: Ubiquitous SnaresHe can craft (free) snares in 1-3 interact Actions, and then Slash Slash with his Hatchet (at +0/-2), grab for free with his hand/gauntlet (via combat grab, doing damage from the Grab as well equal to his Strength), and Yeet the poor victim on top of his Snare (which are usually pretty deadly by themselves)
I absolutely love this concept. Do you think it's really viable?

As it stands, I am left to wonder what the alchemist is doing with their hands a lot of the time.considering that RAW they are often holding 2 items in one hand at level 9, and 3 items at level 15, those arms are really weird.
Quick Alchemy costs 1 action, involves a 10-20 lb kit worth of stuff without commenting on where it is or goes, and has requires only one hand. The Alchemist is a mystery to me.

Raging Alchemist (not to be confused with 1e’s Rage Chemist).
Level 1 Barbarian; Pick your flavor of Rage and the Raging Thrower feat.
Level 2 MC Alchemist
That’s pretty much it. Go more Alchemist for more Bombs, better throwing and better splash damage; or go Fighter for Point Blank and Double-Shot; or Ranger for better ranged options. Quick Alchemy doesn’t have the Concentrate Trait so should be usable while raging. Bombs are Martial so better crit and hit chance.

Yeah Trevor belmont!!!
Just one question what about your persistent damage do you think it get persistent positive damage??
Ps:sorry english isn't my main language.
I would have think the same but having watch the AP Knight of everflame with Jason Bulmahn and Omelette one of the character use it and do 19 positive damage and Jason dont correct her when she tell that.

it feels weird to me.
i'll probably have to houserule that then.
Yeah i can see the barbarian hitting is friends to heal them with is battle axe, like 1d8 positive damage heal yourself lol.
It is assumed (confirmed? Not sure) by a lot (most?) that actually it's a typo, and spirit barb converts the BONUS damage to poisitive/negative like the other rages, NOT the base.Now Rage for Positive Damage and throw Holy Handgranades for days.Yeah Trevor belmont!!!

So, here's kind of an Unorthodox build.
Start with a Fighter, multiclass him to Demonic Sorcerer at level 2, and at level 4 pick up Basic Bloodline spell which will allow you to cast Glutton's Jaws, a fairly decent unarmed attack with a d8 damage die, the forceful quality, and the ability to nab you some good longevity in the form of temporary hit points.
But we're just getting started, because at level 9 you're going to want to get the human ancestry feat multitalented, which necessitates starting human or getting adopted ancestry. But no matter how you do it, you'll want to multiclass into Monk so that you can get Monk's Flurry at level 10. Flurry of Blows is a very nice feat for this build to have, since it synergizes really well with the forceful trait that your Glutton's Jaws attacks have. And of course, all of these attacks are coming off of the fantastic Fighter legendary proficiency.
Flying Hammers:
Thrown weapons Paladin.
Pro's:
Actually has decent range!
You need (probably) less stride actions to get into position, meaning you attack more (hence why the agile Light Hammer as well)
Equally effective at range and at melee, although preffered range would be "close to melee" to protect his teammates as well
Good damage for a SnB ranged buildCon's:
Well, less damage than dual wielding, paladin/monks, and twohander paladins.
Loses the versatility of multiple Litanies
This build also works with the Trident as well, which can also be thrown 20 ft. and has a d8 damage die. Not to say that there aren't tradeoffs, of course. The light hammer is going to be more accurate if you throw it multiple times in a round, so the main question is if you want that or you want your reaction attacks to be stronger.

it's the usual trade off of d6 agile vs d8 non-agile.
what tipped the scales for me is that Hammer crit spec is insane, and it combines with Zeal extremely well in high levels.
Knocking a dude prone is definitely strong. However, making an enemy clumsy with a trident crit also increases the chances of your allies landing a critical hit of their own.
Not saying hammer isn't better, but there definitely are some upsides if you prefer ranged poking instead.

So, maybe not the most outlandish build ever, but here’s kind of a fun idea: goblin barkeep alchemist, who takes the junk tinker ancestry feat at first level. Obviously, you create all of your alchemical items, whether bombs, elixirs, or anything else, using old beer bottles.

And don't tell your fellow players! (Just the GM.)
"I throw a beer bottle at him." *hiccup* "Lousy orc."(I'm assuming he's tipsy.)
Your Alchemist Fire could look like a Molotov cocktail.

edit:
it also just dawned on me:
"You're wounded? Here, take this healing elixir"
"Oh, thanks!... wait... what are those bits in it? why do they look like our yesterday's leftovers?"
"Yeah! I don't know why you guys threw those out, but they were perfect! Come on, bottoms up now."
I agree, the Irongut goblin heritage does seem the best fit for this concept.

Ritual Master! Human Wizard.
2: Pathfinder Agent dedication, boost your choice of Occultism/Religion/Nature to expert. Which ever you want for Master ritual qualifications. I suspect Religion gives you the most useful options that Arcana doesn't overlap, but Occultism does most of the best ones if you also want Legend Lore, and Nature has it's own thing.
9: Human feat for Rogue Dedication
10: Rogue MC Skill Master - boost your expert skill to Master, boost another magic skill to Expert. Expert in Religion/Nature does snag you some extra rituals, expert in Occultism doesn't do anything I think.
15: Universal Theorem - now you use your legendary Arcana for all magic related skill tests, and you have Master proficiency to qualify for some extra rituals.
So you can do legendary or less Arcana rituals, Master or less in another ritual, Expert in a third ritual form, and you roll a completely maxed out score for all of them.
Nice one Xenocrat!

So, here's another thought I had. Maybe the most important item for dual-wielding characters are doubling rings, right? The usual thought is you use them to replicate the fundamental runes from your main-hand weapon onto your off-hand weapon. But do you really?
What if the weapon you decide to focus on is your off-hand weapon? My thought is a dwarf who decides to go all-in on buffing her clan dagger. She has an agile parrying weapon in one hand, which means she has a relatively decent AC (even more so if she's a Fighter or Ranger who picks up the twin parry feat). She then changes her main-hand weapon depending on what she needs for her particular battle. She might pull out a whip if taking an enemy alive is what is called for, a warhammer if there are some ledges to shove people off of, or a trident if she needs a little extra distance.
All of these different weapons will be effective though, since our dwarven warrior is wearing the gold doubling ring on the hand that holds her clan dagger.
20th level Wizard with the Metamagic Mastery feat and maxed Stealth can consistently avoid reactions by casting every spell with Conceal spell at no action penalty, and the max stealth plus legendary sneak can help with some impressive elusive shenanigans. Alternatively, if you're a universalist you avoid the action penalty of Bond Conservation and can spew out extra spells without any meaningful restrictions or being stuck in one spot.
I'm increasingly impressed with how defensible all three 20th level Wizard feats are while the 18th level feats are pretty mediocre. All three capstones definitely drive you to a certain type of specialization, though.

I'm not sure this is true, as Drain Bonded Item action has both the Wizard and Arcane traits. For my part I'd interpret that as saying it only works with spells that are both Arcane and originate from your Wizard class features.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Unless the traits say something to that effect, I'd interpret that the other way, Xenocrat.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to do cool things like use Conceal Spell or Silent Spell as a non-wizard.
That just seems far too limiting for what the developers seemed to have in mind for 2nd Edition.
** spoiler omitted **...You can't take the sorcerer dedication at 6th because you need to have 2 additional wizard feats beyond the dedication feat (for 3 total)
Rats. I forgot about that.
Oh, well. I'll have to sacrifice 4th-6th level bard spells, but not too many other changes are needed. Conceal Spell makes a nice "consolation prize!"
