Wielder of the Magic arms


Advice


I'm looking to make a character that solely wields weapons that they made form from spells. (Ex: Flame Blade) can someone give me advice on which class has the most/which class would be best to go about doing this with? I imagine I would be some form of 3/4 bab class but just not sure which is best. I do want options when it comes to the spells that create the weapons, unless there is just 1 that is WAY better than the others.


Does it have to be spells or could the weapons be created through other means? There are a number of archetypes that have abilities to make their own weapons.

There's a few class archetypes that come to mind with that theme, though not the same mechanics.

The mindblade magus conjures weapons of psychic energy to fight with.

The ectoplasmatist spiritualist conjures ghostly tentacles to fight with.

This.

There's archetypes spanning multiple classes that have the ability to manifest their own weapons... there's an Android Brawler archetype that has energy weapons, and the Mindblade Magus, come to mind. I'm sure there's more.


Now that I've thought about it I think I wanna try and use Rime spell in conjunction with Holy Ice blade so thinking about going Cleric. Are there any good domains I should look out for that may help? Was considering Hanspur off the top of my head for gods but I'm open to any suggestions.


There's a druid archetype which specialises in shilllelagh and flame blade, the green scourge.

Sarenrae adds flame blade to her clerics spell lists and there's a feat which makes flame blade better which requires her worship - don't have time to look it up sorry.

The lightning subdomain gives lightning-themed spells including electric flame blade IIRC. Alternately worshipping Gozreh gives you access to a spell which is basically electric flame blade.

Hanspur does get the flotsam subdomain which is awesome, but nothing related to flame blade that I remember.

I looked it up and now I want to make a flame blade wielding Sarenite. The feat is called Flame Blade Dervish
