It doesn't matter if you are building the main character

Heheh - nice :D Awesome build man! Funny thing is that I build pretty much this same charachter yesterday evening, with the difference that I went into aldori swordlord in the end. You did convince me though that continuing in fighter is better since the whole intimidation route eats up a lot of feats that made me skip on important stuff like outflank and also delayed other important feats.

Love your vids. Keep it up.

I'm now starting to realize that PF is about multiclassing like crazy.

Great Video. I'm going to give this a try in 3....2....1 now! I need something that can take a punch.

very nice build man! 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻✌🏻

I'm playing with this build on hard and my character is an absolute beast. She just hit level 15, and has 60 AC without spell buffs. +35 to hit, too, so she's not a bad melee combatant either. In her portrait she has a metal bikini, so its kinda cool in the sense that shes fast enough to dodge almost anything that wearing practical armour would actually hinder her instead. +8 mental perfection from the lich was an instant +4 AC compared to what she was wearing before, and it's cool that every mental stat is a buff to her defense. Was tempted to give the hat to my sorcerer, but seeing her AC rise so much was impossible to pass up, haha. Thank you mate. Love this build. Thinking of turning difficulty to unfair just to see how she fares.

this build should have been a 1 handed Sai wielder, which works for Duelists also.. but gets 1 extra attack due to it counting as a monk weapon also. And replace Thug with Knife Master rogue, which synergizes with the Sai.. and there you go... your damage output will be significant.

You're a madman hahaha. I couldn't have come up with this if I had a million years to think about it. Very knowledgeable

Hey man can you min-max an archer build that doesnt use pets? Good videos.

Thanks for this build info. I was using a sword and board (tower) tank but even at level 6 she pales into insignificance again this build. They fight side by side and by the time she is dead, mostly, he has not been hit at all. Had to go 18 dex as only 20 points to share out as merc but still works really well. Nice work.

@Tyler W. I create totaly crazy tank. 4x barded archeologist, 2x paladin and 16x scale fist. Every monks build what i saw was based on rogue but bard is much better because he can cast mirror images and is charisma based. In irovety arc i had cca 70 AC on lvl 15. But magus is too very good class. In late game is mirror image best tank spell. 20x miss and when someone hit you he kill just image :D Only problem are saves which can one shot you.

as a DM you are the type of player I would dred

Love the vids, btw

devastating build - I never knew a tank could be built to do so much damage as well, so broken

Great again! Thx :)

How do you 'trade some superfluous AC for Will saves' please?

Lmao! I wonder if the Rostland Bravo will be an available archetype when Swashbucklers are released. I doubt they'll end up being released, because their staple (Parry/Repost) might be hard to program and balance for this version of the game, but I still want to see it happen. Maybe a Toggle like Defensive Fighting or Something: While turned on, if AoE is available and Panache points are available, it automatically attempts parry/repost while toggled. For those who don't know, in the Pencil+Paper version of this game, the Aldori Defender archetype does not give Weapon Prof. for the Aldori Dueling Sword. Swashbuckler gives the Weapon Prof. feat and Weapon Finesse Feat. Then 1 level into Monk (PFS grabbing Dodge instead of Crane Style because of Monk Bonus Feats). Level 3, you will still need to drip into a Fighter class (not restricted to Aldori Defender) because you need two feats at level 3 instead of just one. (PFS requires Quick Draw for Aldori Dueling Mastery, so at level 3 you have Weapon Finesse (Swashbuckler), Weapon Proficiency (Swashbuckler), Weapon Focus (Lvl 1), Quick Draw (Fighter), Aldori Sword Master (Lvl 3). Likewise, you can be human - but you miss out on +DEX/+CHA. You can retrain this level of Fighter at level 5, when you become Swashblucker 4/Monk 1 (Swashbuckler gets Fighter Bonus feats at level 4 and every 4 levels after). If you're not sheepish about your Wisdom Saves or Strength scores, you can crash your Strength and Wisdom. Because you won't be wearing armor, you only have to worry about the weight of your cloths and the weight of your weapon while traveling. (The PFS Character that I was working on was an Ifrit with +12 Initiative, +16 when I reach a higher level for Improved Init, so he is rarely flat footed. :P)

I agree, this is a fucking tank for sure. The only weakness is his fortitude/will resistance, that's all. Nice build, i'll test it

I think its better to put the rest of your levels in vivisectionist or the magus subclass that gives ac for int per level put into it just like duelist.

Awesome

Nice build. I use him as my main tank and is realy hard to kill and have nice dmg by sneaks. Only problem what i had was with beartreant in first world. He miss 12 atacks and instant kill me with 98dmg :D

if i respec valarie and put her as this build and its a Lawful good, will it fuck up her well example romance counters or like her neutral state?

What software did use at the end?

Thanks for the guide. BTW, at 0:52 your stats are Str: 10 Dex:19 Con:12 Int:13 Wis:10 Cha: 16 with 10 in Wisdom not 13 which you have in your video description. I was wondering how you got these attribute points to add up.

I know its an old vid, but a missed opportunity here... Make this a Sai wielder this opens up the path to becoming a Knife Master rogue, which gets huge sneak attack dice when wielding the appropriate weapons for this subclass... a Sai qualifies as one of them and counts as a monk weapon for determening whether that 1 level of Monk will give you an extra attack.

I think its better to go vivisectionist tank because they can cast mirror image and other defensive spells and they can reduce crit attacks to normal attacks. I have had tanks like this that always ended up dying to stupid crits.

Mirror Image isn't on the alchemist spell list but I know what you mean. In most of the game this build was only hit on a natural 20 and unless the enemy has a way of automatically confirming critical hits, that means I have a 1/400 chance of being crit. It happens but its rare enough that it doesn't matter that much.

Wouldn't musetouched aasimar ultimately be better? you replace the 2 ac in d stance halfling talent with 3 dodge ac at all times wings, i think you get 1 ac for being small so the AC is mostly a wash but aasimar has no negative stat penalties at creation as well as other bonuses.

Maybe but you can only get wings at lvl 10 so until then halfling is better. and wings is only against melee attacks also you lose the extra saving throws from halfling. and the most important is that halflings are way cuter! look at those tiny legs *_*

Trying this build right now, with a small adaption in the progress line because I don't want to start out as a lawful character. So my monk-level comes in later. Works like a treat. There one thing though that doesn't seem to be right in your explanation: with your first level of Duelist, you cannot used the Precision Damage, because it only works with piercing weapons... which the Aldori Sword is not. You would need to fit in Slashing Grace somewhere in this build to get this to work.

I think there is only benefit from LN if you already have one LG tank (only one LG robe in game, but there is another for LN, +3AC and for LE +1AC). Ofc you can play diferent aligment for you playthough but LG have far biggest effect in game.

Actually in pathfinder an attack roll needs to be a hit to be considered a critical threat so if you have an expanded crit range, say 15-20, if a 15 wouldn't hit your targets ac, the attack doesn't land. Only a natural 20 is a guaranteed hit and even then you would have to do a second roll to confirm the crit. Thanks for the comment!

As far as I can tell the game seems to be wrong in it's calculations, at level 6 you take crane wing as a a rogue combat trick wich gives you a bonus combat feat, (you still need to meet the Prerequisites one of wich is +5 base attack, one level fighter gives 1, one level monk gives 0 and four levels of rogue give 3 so that would be a total of +4 base attack), wich would also hinder you taking duelist at level 8 since you at that point would have taken only one more level of fighter for a total of +5 base attack, where the requirement is base attack +6 so acording to the normal pathfinder d20 ruleset this should not be possible, or am I simply missing something here?

You'd probably be able to improve this with knife master rogue instead of thug. You can get dex to damage with knife master 3 which would allow you to dump strength to 7 and put some more into your charisma while outputting more damage. You'd also get a lot out of 3 levels in rogue and 1 in vivisectionist which would allow you to drink a dexterity mutagen for +4 dex +2 natural armor. Great build! Just a lot of room for improvement to really min max the hell out of it!

And if get it can put in to Wis up to 8. :) Also i recomend taking tough feat at lv 1 for more hp. And Dodge at lv 3. And taking blind fight much more erly in game will be nice idia.

Go watch "The Mountain vs Oberyn Martell (The Viper)". History is filled with examples of graceful fighters vs heavily armored ones. But I agree that a "tank" is not just a fighter but a 'stand your ground and draw aggro" type of role - it would be exceptionally difficult to do that unscathed without heavy armor in the real world. However, the D&D universe is a fantasy world so you have to allow yourself to use your imagination. You have "magic" which can bend the rules of physics as we know them. Magic can enhance your armor (whether it be cloth or plate), you have magical rings and necklaces that improve your AC, and characters can reach Matrix like levels of dexterity (with the help of magic too, of course). This is what I envision an optimized dodge tank doing essentially - a monk like Matrix character that is nigh impossible to hit because you can barely keep your eyes on him.
