If you’re looking for a truly uber, maximized disarmer/tripper, you should try a different class such as fighter or barbarian.

[B]The Build: [/B] Race: Human for +2 stat bonus and extra feat Starting Stats: (15pt standard point buy) STR 16 (14 +2 human bonus, 5pts) DEX 15 (7pts) CON 12 (2pts) INT 13 (3pts) WIS 10 (0 pts) CHA 8 (-2 pts) [B]Feats and chosen abilities: [/B] • Level 1: exotic weapon proficiency (hooked axe - UC) feat, two-weapon fighting feat (human bonus). At levels 1-2 the pyro is not going to be doing much disarming or tripping without the Improved Disarm/Trip feats, and relies on two-weapon fighting with hooked axe and torch and standard pyro abilities. • Level 2: pyro talent: combat trick (combat expertise feat) • Level 3: special torch attack: blinding torch strike, improved disarm feat.

CMB is now +10 for disarming/tripping (BAB +3, Str +3, improved disarm/trip +2, hooked axe +2) • Level 6: pyro talent: weapon focus (hooked axe) CMB is now +12 for disarming/tripping (BAB +4, Str +3, improved disarm/trip +2, hooked axe +2, weapon focus +1). At this level, the chance of success is probably about 45% vs. most typical CR 6 monsters, or greater with a magic hooked axe, some Strength-enhancing and/or heroism magic. • Level 7: special torch attack: penetrating torch, combat reflexes feat • Level 8: ability increase (+1 Dex = 17), pyro talent: (improved torch and steel) CMB is now +14 for disarming/tripping (BAB +6, Str +3, improved disarm/trip +2, hooked axe +2, weapon focus +1).

[B]Multi-Class Options: [/B] Fighter is a nice multi-class choice for the bonus feats and full BAB, plus armor and weapon proficiencies. Barbarian is a good choice with its full BAB, rage, Beast Totem tree and Strength Surge rage power, though the lack of bonus feats hurts. Alchemist works thanks to its synergizing Intelligence score and Stength-boosting mutagens. There are also several alchemist extracts to boost disarming and tripping, such as enlarge person and bull’s strength. Monk/pyro is another odd combo, but monks can use their monk level in place of BAB for calculating CMB bonuses. Battle oracle/pyro is also odd, but its Maneuver Mastery revelation can be used to aid tripping or disarming (you have to pick one), and eventually grants bonus Improved Disarm or Trip feats. The Weapon Mastery revelation will also give you Weapon Focus for free. Alternately, you could take the Fire Mystery and the Divine Fire pyro feat which allows the oracle to convert pyro fire damage to holy damage, but none of that helps with disarming and tripping… [/QUOTE]
