Guide to the Builds

Want a Dungeon at every Level from 1 to 13?

A repository for all of the best guides out there.

Bookmark this Page and Send it to Your Players and Co-Adventurers!

This guide serves as a repository for all of the good and/or well organized builds out there. It can help you come up with NPCs, or it can give you ideas of how to build PCs.

I will be slowly adding DPR to some of these guys at 12th level.  At 12th level I'll be assuming AC of 27/11/24, with saves of 14/10/11.  These are the average defenses of enemies of that level.

Alchemist
*** Mad Bomber (Zenith Games) Half-Orc Grenadier Alchemist who just chucks many, many bombs. (12th level DPR: 88, confuse, entangle, blind, glue, four times a day.  Which is just silly.)

The model build will have the following 7 items:

1: It has a feat advancement list, showing what feats are taken at each level.
2: It has a short paragraph or two explaining what the build does, and why it chose what it did.
3: It is either a good build, or it is an interesting build. This should be explained in your paragraph. It would be helpful to make a forum post to see if others find it interesting. If others talk about it, that's a good sign.
4: It has items that the player should buy.
5: It shows what the build looks like at a handful of important levels, such as 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, or 5, 10, 15, and 20.
6: It is be well-written, and well organized.
7: It is built out to level 20.

Builds that meet all of the criteria get three stars! Builds that meet almost all of the criteria get 1 or two stars. Builds that only meet a few criteria, but I’ve put up anyway, get no stars.

  1. I think you should start a multi-class section. One great multiclass rogue/fighter archer build to link to Lady MyGyver Hit&Miss at http://www.optibuilds.com/optimized-rogue-archer-build/

    1. In general I put multi-classed build in the class they have the most levels in. Builds that are split down the middle, I put in both. Added Lady McGyver Hit&Miss

  2. The Claw Synthesist Summoner is incorrect. The evolutions are way off. I did the calculations and you would need 47 evolutions to get everything listed on the build.

    1. Looks like you are right. They probably didn't calculate the ability score increases correctly? I'll mark it as an illegal build. Feel free to e-mail the people over at Elder Wyrm.

  3. Why isn't the notorious AM BARBARIAN guide featured here?

    It's the most popular (on the internet) barbarian build on the internet, as well the most up to date. It covers all areas from items, rage powers, archetypes and (optional) mounted combat.

    Clear and concise to boot !

  4. For the Angry Caterpillar synthesist build, How would the character have access to Multi-Weapon fighting at 3rd level? Eidolon's arms don't count when determining what feats you qualify for IIRC...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. assets gained from the eidolon count the same as assets you would gain from a strength belt. if it is a bonus you qualify for for more than (i believe) 24 hours, then you gain those benefits for the purpose of acquiring feats. when you no longer have those bonuses, the feat would be "greyed out" on your sheet. when you have it again, the feat is usable again.

  5. For the Tabby the Cat bard build, if you select Archaeologist archetype for the bard, you can't take Lingering Performance as the 3rd level feat, because you give up Bardic Performance.

    1. This comment has been removed by the author.

    2. According to the archetype write up, " Archaeologist's luck is treated as bardic performance for the purposes of feats, abilities, effects, and the like that affect bardic performance.", Bardic Performance should be legal.

    3. ^Supposed to read "Lingering Performance should be legal" my bad.

      Delete
    4. Thanks for pointing that out, tough call. I would guess that Archaeologist's luck is effected by various feats, but it does not open up feats. In any case, we'll leave it up to the GM. This comments thread should help.

  6. I am looking at the classic ninja and the shuriken attacks aren't making sense to me. At level 8 there are two normal attacks, two from the flurry, and one from rapid shot, for a total of 5 attacks, but you list six. What am I not taking into account?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. We have the 2 from normal BAB progression, two from flurry, one from rapid shot, and one from two-weapon fighting! I think you probably aren't taking two weapon fighting into account here.

      I love this build! Possibly my favorite one here. Rogues and Ninjas need more love anyway.

      Delete
    2. Unless there is some info I don't know about, these effects do not stack. FoB simply gives you all the 2weapon fighting feats free. In the Zen archer version, it also mentions that rapid shot/many shot does not stack.

    3. You are thinking of Flurry of Blows. This is flurry of stars, a ninja ability.

  8. Hi, I was wondering how the "Gatling"
    reloads his Double Barreled Musket in a Full Round while doing 14 Attacks.
    rapid reload and lightning reload wont cut it.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Lightning Reload (Ex): At 11th level, as long as the gunslinger has at least 1 grit point, she can reload a single barrel of a one-handed or two-handed firearm as a swift action once per round. If she has the Rapid Reload feat or is using an alchemical cartridge (or both), she can reload a single barrel of the weapon as a free action each round instead. Furthermore, using this deed does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

      I believe that with lightning reload and rapid reload, he can simply take free actions to reload.

      Delete
  9. Couple things:
    The description of the Teddy Rosy fighter build lists it as a two-weapon build instead of a twohanded weapon build.

    Blasting Wilder Build is being built here:

  10. captain falcon is illegal. using your ki to add an extra attack only allows you to make an extra attack at your highest bonus during a flurry, it does not grant you the extra standard attack actions needed for multiple vital strikes

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It is legal. He's using the monk of the four winds ability "slow time", not the standard "spend a ki point to get an attack while ferrying" ability. Slow time gives three standard actions for 6 ki points.

    1. Zenith,

      Thanks for putting this site together. I've spent many hours scrolling and skulking about. I don't get to play much any more, but when I get bored I make characters. This is probably my favorite build. I haven't really seen anything like it on the forums or build guides. He's kind of a Defender/ Leader type. Check it out and tell me what you think.

  12. Hey, Zeni! I was wondering what would you make of the Student of War PrC. I can't tell if it's good with the Lore Warden class (Knowledge feats overlap and you can be sadder by just focusing on Str, Int and Con) or if they suck together (low Dex means you are not getting most of Combat Reflexes and Hair's Breadth, the two Know Thy/Your Enemy features cannot be performed simultaneously).
    What do you think? Is the PrC worth its salt?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hmm - well Mind over Metal could be great if you want a lower dexterity and higher intelligence. Too bad that dexterity still controls so many other areas. Know your enemy is fine, but it does take a move action. Anticipate is alright, but the rest of the abilities are nice.

      Both Know Thy and Your enemy can be made in a single turn as a full round action, which is kind of entertaining. And you do get two additional skill points per level as a Student of War.

      You could do worse with a full BAB PrC. There's nothing outstanding here that would make the character shine, but there is some synergy. If it fits your character concept, then you won't be gimped, and it will certainly allow you to gain benefits from studying your enemy.

      Alternatively, you could just stick with Lore Warden and use your first turn to UMD a wand with haste or the like. You'll get a better buff and be ready to go.

      Anyway, that's my 5 minutes look at it.

      Delete
  13. Thanks! Yeah, I'm not sure it's worth it for a Fighter, looks like a better fit for an Emissary Cavalier.

    3. I love your Battle Herald build!!!
      .
      I used it as the basis for a PFS character I played to level 13 (and have planned to level 20). The main difference is that by level 13 my build only has two levels of Battle Herald. At level 13 he has eight classes*, and is about "aid another," basic spell buffs, multiple sorts of bard song and rage song, and other shenanigans.
      .
      I wrote Señor Arsenio Josué Busto Durante as a human Chelaxian noble (PFS) in the Liberty's Edge faction, with the racial heritage (Halfling) feat (telling you something about his back story if you follow the PFS campaign world).

  22. I’ve been playing a variant of your Dark Angel Cleric build and loving it. In a climactic fight against seven opponents, she was able to position herself so that she did 150 points of damage with three channels in three rounds at level 3. Insane! I never did more than 9 points at a time to a single target, but she helped make short work of an otherwise suicidal encounter. Roleplaying a powerful character with 7 Intelligence is a blast, too. Thanks for sharing the concept!

  23. The cave druid is not valid. The monks flurry of slams do not work in conjunction with natural attacks. "A monk with natural weapons cannot use such weapons as part of a flurry of blows, nor can he make natural attacks in addition to his flurry of blows attacks." This statement alone immediately negates the ooze using his psuedopod to "flurry of slams" and breaks this build....Just wondering if anyone else has looked at it.

  24. * Vallairs Urn (Ravingdork) Half-Elf Nature Warden Druid, who uses a longbow and a tiger named Alex.

    Looked at a second druid build, and this link goes to a half-elf drow cave druid with a cave domain. No animal companion. It also uses a sling and club and not a bow. So this link is either broken or it's just not the right description, but nothing unusual with this build. Are there no good druid builds listed here?

    2. Looks good! A nice and tanky bomb thrower. I'd grab at least one or two bomb discoveries though, and probably up Int. a bit to increase bombs and saves. Don't forget, being a tank means you need to incentivize enemies to attack you - normally by being a threat yourself!

      Delete
    6. Discussions are the best way to change my mind about a build. If I've rated it 2 stars that means it's a great build, but not necessarily one of the optimal builds for the class. If I see a lot of people on the forums saying that it is, that's likely to change my mind.

      Delete
    7. I didn't know the star rating had to do with how optimal the build is, because the model build section doesn't mention it. Sorry I've been bugging you about the rating, I had just been scratching my head about what criteria I wasn't meeting. The Undying Alchemist is nowhere near as optimal as the other Alchemist builds you have, so I agree with your two star rating. Sorry again for my confusion.

    1. Paladin or bard! Paladins have great survivability, decent social skills, and can heal those noobies when they go down. Bard doesn't have great survivability, but is unparalleled in social skills and will make the noobies feel great about themselves (and grateful) with a bit of song.

    5. That's a pretty balanced party already. You could use some more ranged, buffing, and blasting. Anything ranged would be good: Ranged bard, alchemist, fighter, gunslinger, zen archer. A ninja would just step on the rogue's toes.

      Or course, play what you want! If you want a tough, charismatic character, then go for it. Parties don't need to be perfectly balanced.

Martial flexibility for getting whatever feat or hunter's trick is useful at the time.

      "3: It is either a good build, or it is an interesting build. This should be explained in your paragraph. It would be helpful to make a forum post to see if others find it interesting. If others talk about it, that's a good sign." Is this not the forum you mean by 'make a forum post?'"
      "4: It has items that the player should buy." It does, level by level, up to level 12. Do you need more listed past level 12? I thought that would be sufficient to show what items to upgrade.
      "5: It shows what the build looks like at a handful of important levels, such as 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, or 5, 10, 15, and 20." That's in the page I referenced.

  49. I was just revising the Vacuum, it sadly has several errors on it.
    1st - It is using the increases on Caster Level to increase the DC of it's Perfected Spell. The DC for Mass Suffocation should be 40 (way less impressive), it is also using an Inteligence Score of 40, but it is assuming that Tiefling gives you +4 Int on racial score, when it gives you just +2.

    The build is definetivelly good, but it needs some changing. Probably remove some feats to get Ambuscading Spell to increase DC by 4, and Focused Spell to get another +4, and change the Eldritch Heritage to Arcane, so you can get another +2 to the DC, getting an incredible DC of 49 (considering Inteligence 38 instead of 40).
