To put it short, this guy will be the one using improvised weaponry, known as Oil Potions or flasks, Grease pits, and anything else flammable; then using a Torch, or something fire related to set it off. BE WARNED, FRIENDLY FIRE POSSIBLE! I want this to be a step-by-step progression, from level 1-20 (Or until he becomes a viable character option.) First things first: Class. There are a couple different things you can choose...Sorcerer/Wizard: Item Creation feats, including potions.Fighter: Can easily get the "Improvised Weapon Mastery" at level 8.Alchemist: He has potions already, but he doesn't really match the theme here... I'm leaning toward a Dex-based Sorc/Wiz to get a high throw %, and because I can cast a fireball spell to ignite the fuel. They can create awesome potions, or more efficient ones, and swinging an unlimited burning torch is awesome. Ruling on Oil/Burning: As per Pathfinder PHB, the Torch has a non-proficient -4 to attack, so its best to get Catch Off-guard or the Weapon Finesse feat to negate this -4. (Catch off-guard if you prefer to not have a very high dex.) For throwing oil or a similarly ignitable fluid, you don’t receive the -4 penalty, and a direct hit deals direct damage to the target, and splash damage to all creatures within 5 feet. (Note: You receive the -4 bonus versus anything not used as an improvised weapon, such as a chair, or similar. For oil, flasks, alchemist’s fire, etc, do not receive this -4 penalty.) Range Increment is 5 increments, and a -2 to hit after each 10’ increment. Direct Damage and Splash damage for non-burning Oil, and damage received when caught on fire from ignited oil is unconfirmed. Does someone have this information? While those are to be resolved, here are the first five levels: (Assuming good rolls, as a Sorc)STR - (Doesn't matter)DEX - 16-18CON - 12+INT - 12+WIS - 10-18 (Doesn't matter or Wizard)CHA - 16-18HP - Average at 23AC - 14+ Non-dex modifiersInit - 3-4Saves - Fort 1, Ref 1, Will 4BAB - +2Off hand - TorchMain hand - Lather material (For throwing)Skills Required - Use Magic Device (Maybe Profession or Knowledge)Spells Required: (Not including Elemental Bloodline)• Level 0: Flare (If enough heat to ignite)• Level 1: Grease (If ingitable), Burning Hands, • Level 2: Resist Energy (Fire), Scorching Ray, Pyrotechnics, Flaming Sphere (Optional)_________________________________________________________________________(Below are spells for after level 5)• Level 3: Protection from Energy (Fire), Fireball, Flame Arrow• Level 4: Fire Shield, Wall of Fire, Small Elemental Shape (Fire)• Level 5: Medium Elemental Shape (Fire)• Level 6: Large Elemental Shape (Fire)• Level 7: Delayed Blast Fireball (Optional), Limited Wish• Level 8: Incendiary Cloud, Sunburst (If Fire damage)• Level 9: Meteor Swarm (Optional), Wish Bloodline: Optional. Listed below are the options for a decent bloodline, and why.• Celestial: Has Heavenly Fire (If DM agrees it has heat to it) at level 1. Level 11 gives you Flame Strike, and 9th level lets you fly. It gives you Weapon Finesse, Dodge and Mobility feats.• Draconic: Gains Resist Energy (7th) and Spell Resistance (11th) bonus spells, (And wish at level 19) Arcana deals +1 per die rolled damage if you choose the Fire Dragon type (Red, Brass, Gold), Gains "Dragon Resistance", has Breath Weapon, gains Wings. Has Improved Initiative and Quicken Spell bonus feats.• Elemental, Fire (Recommended): Bonus spells: Burning Hands, scorching ray, Protection from energy, Elemental Body 1 (9th), II (11th), III (13th), IV (15th). Arcana will change any damaging spell to Fire if you choose, and all Elemental abilities empower or resist the Fire energy. At 20th, you're immine to crits, sneak attack, and all fire.

What do you guys think? Viable? Powerful? Ideal? Suggestions? Note this is open to anything that can be converted to Pathfinder. Currently, this is using -just- pathfinder, so may be weak in some areas. Thanks in advance for input!</blockquote>
