Cenobite character build?


Advice


Trying to make a sadistic character. Probably a Dhamphir and was considering the Summoner class with a Kyton eidolon. Or maybe an Enchantress (Sorcerer?). She's not necessarily evil, just likes to cause pain. Any ideas? Is there anything even remotely like Vicissitude from V:tM in Pathfinder?

There is the pain taster prestige class, you should be able to get there via vivisectionist alchemist

To your second question, Name Violation is spot on in terms of the aspects of Vicissitude that you're inflicting on others. If you're interested in Vicissitude in terms of a personal transformational power, you could get creative with the various Polymorph sub-school spells: Monstrous Physique, Undead Anatomy, etc. Those, in conjunction with the Sorcerer's Shapechanger bloodline should get you most of what you're looking for.


My absolute favorite of the options for this theme is the Vivisectionist.
Cleric of Zon-Kuthon comes to mind as well...


For someone looking to inflict pain an inquisitor seems like a good choice. The torture inquisition would be the obvious choice for your domain. The Dhampir FCB of +1/2 on intimidate to demoralize an opponent would mean your easily able to scare anything that is not immune to fear.

Inquisitors also have a lot of pain-based spells on their list.

Name Violation? Is that a thing or just editing?


My little tidbits of ideas:

Kyton Spawn Tiefling: Good traits, good skill bonuses and looks the part.

Zon-Kuthon: The Master Surgeon trait etc.

Alternative Deity: Shax

As mentioned above Vivisectionist is good for this theme. However, I think there are many ways to go about this.

Also look up Shadow Piercings, Necrografts and Flesh Crafting(a far cry from Vicissitude so don't get your hopes up but worth a look).

1 person marked this as a favorite.

And yeah now I have some ideas to theory craft and do art for a cleric of Shax.

A while ago I had an idea for a Paladin of Vildeis Cenobite looking pc.
