I’m trying to build a character based off Katsuki Bakugo from the anime My Hero Academia. The character shoots explosions out of his hands and can use them to maneuver. They are typically within a close to touch sort of range. I’m just looking for advice on how to best build a character as close to him as possible. I’ve been out of the game for a few years, so I’d really like some help creating pathfinders version of him.
Ooh, that sounds like fun. I love trying to figure out builds based on characters from comics and cartoons. I'm not real familiar with the class, but the first thing that pops into my mind for his explosions is the kineticist. It has a blast attack that can be of several different elements, including fire.
Black powder vaulter does something like that - but the explosions come from their guns.
A pyrokineticist may be closer, their flying wild talents use elemental fire.
He is actually one of the examples they used when promoting the Ultimate Spheres of Power kickstarter. Should even be a youtube video on it somewhere
