need help optimizing a character

[foolycooly1001]

I'm playing an anthropomorphic mongoose from Savage species using the weasel stats. I would like to find a way to complement the attach ability. Also, I'm not sure exactly how it works. If someone tries to grapple you to get you away, what is the process?

First, welcome to the boards!

This entry from the SRD should help with "attach."

D20SRD Weasel:

Attach (Ex)

If a weasel hits with a bite attack, it uses its powerful jaws to latch onto the opponent’s body and automatically deals bite damage each round it remains attached. An attached weasel loses its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class and has an AC of 12. An attached weasel can be struck with a weapon or grappled itself. To remove an attached weasel through grappling, the opponent must achieve a pin against the creature.

Your PC basically has a special way of entering a grapple.

From what I see, to optimize your attach ability, you want to:

1. Take Improved Grapple
2. Find ways to boost your Touch AC and Natural AC
3. Boost your HP
4. Boost your Str
5. Take Improved Natural Attack: Bite to boost your base damage with the attack
6. Find ways to increase your size (which will boost your damage and your Str)- typically the spell Enlarge or the Psionic power Expansion

Base Classes & PrCls to explore to help you with that would be:

1. Monk (gets you certain key feats and abilities)
2. Fighter (lots of bonus feats & HP)
3. Psychic Warrior (some bonus feats, HP, Expansion power)
4. Sorcerer (Enlarge power)
5. Battle Sorcerer (Enlarge Power, more HP & better AC than Sorc)
6. Kensai (enhance your teeth with magic, has a limited power that grants +8Str for short periods of time)
7. Kineticist and variants at WotC Mind's Eye (enhance your teeth with psionic energy, adds a ranged attack and damage shield to your bag of tricks)

Templates to explore to help you with that would be:

1. Feral (boosts AC, your bite damage, gives Improved Grab and HD)
2. Multi-Headed (improves the number of bite attacks you'd get and certain bonus feats)
3. Multi-limbed
4. Reptilian (improves AC)
5. Insectile (improves AC)
