What do people think would be the class that would do best on adventures if every member of the party was a member of the class (no multi-classing either) I guess it comes down to 2 possible approaches 1) classes that can fit multiple niches in the game (e.g. can tank, do damage, versatile...

I'd be ok with it for an individual campaign but I wouldn't want to do it all the time. I'm somewhat puzzled why you want to do away with the full BAB classes as I don't know that they dominate compared to the Magus, Inquitistor or Alchemist for instance (the biggest problem classes are IMO the...

I should say before I start that I think the character design you've got is pretty solid and we're just quibbling over details. Partly because Crippling Critical combined with staggering really cuts down on movement and lasts for a minute so can really negate their ability to get to your more...

One advantage Wizards have over clerics, druids and sorcerors is increased duration for Conjuration Specialists as well as an extra conjuration spell for each spell level (although that gets them up to the same number of spells as a cleric including domain spells). There's also the point that...

I'm not sure that tripping works well at higher levels. I think the CMD of enemies tends to increase faster than your CMB will. There's also the problem of more flying enemies (immune to trip), more options for multi-legged creatures (harder to trip) and more options for creatures without legs...

a) Mechanically you're not gaining much by using an Elven Curveblade over a Falchion b) If you want to use an Elven Curveblade you can go human and spend the bonus feat on proficiency with it which leaves you the other human benefits which might still be better than going elf, -2 con hurts a...

We're doing a campaign that will be going epic and currently we're planning on doing the max 20 level in 1 class. I've got 2 characters in the campaign, a Teleportion specialist wizard who will be multi-classing to Monk representing the effect of magic on her body (unfortunately has to be the...

Largely backing up what other people have said I'm not sure that going for trip without a reach weapon is worth it. It also removes the requirement for higher int so you could drop it down a couple of points and probably put other abilities up a touch (if you dropped it to 8 you could put str up...

A lot of it depends on what you intend to do. Note that a dex based melee fighter will never be as effective as a strength based melee fighter with the possible exception of a dual weapon character with sneak attack or another way of pumping additional damage out, but dual weapon wielding is...

You could do 2nd ed specialty priests as Archetypes on clerics.

Multiclassing is pretty much the same as in 3.x. The only difference I can think of is that there are no penalties for having classes at widely different levels (iirc there used to be an xp penalty in 3.x) Multiclassing can be less attractive in Pathfinder though because a) the classes get more...

The alternative class bonuses are highly variable. For spontaneous casters +1 known spell is a huge benefit, many of the others are very blah

I think people are underrating the effect of automatic crit confirmation, it's a fair part of the Fighter captstone ability for a reason... I'd also say that doing away with opportunity attacks makes it tougher to defend the squishies because the opposition can run straight past the melee...

There's nothing saying that the warlord levels count for Weapon Specialisation or that he can ignore it so RAW he can only take it if he's got levels of fighter. RAI is another question

Unless you're using something other than the standard progressions for BAB or Saves you could just say Good BAB (+1/level), Medium BAB (+15 over 20 levels) or Poor BAB +1/2 levels and Good or Poor for each save Also weapon and armour proficiencies would be useful

You're operating as part of a group though. How effective it is really depends on what you're up against and how likely it is to work. If you're negating either a greater power than you are or the opposition's main strength it can be well worthwhile sacrificing a spellcaster's actions and...

As other people have pointed out the main reason ability scores for casters are huge isn't because of max levels of spells but because of saving throw dcs (and bonus spells) I don't see if having much impact on most offensive spellcasters because they'll still want the saving throw DCs high. I...

I've got a couple of questions and comments firstly on the character and then on the more general situation a) what level are the party members? and how have they generated stats? Because he needs a high int as a spellcaster and if he's standing up reasonably in hand to hand he's probably got a...

I think it's a bad idea. It's going to mean wilderness adventures become basically impossible alpha strikes become much more important. you get a shorter adventuring day so your wizards and sorcerers can throw out more spells per encounter while melee classes have less of their main resource...

Check to see that the character is legal because it sounds extremely dodgy.
