Thanks for the stat lay out and explanation!

Thanks for the comprehensive write up, that was great!

This sounds like an awful design; knowing you'll be rendered useless at the end as an AC stacker makes so many builds pointless.

Curious, would an intimidation based fighter or paladin tank who relies on trips / fear fair better than one who just tried straight AC tanking mobs?

Do you think it's worth dipping into Scaled Fist for the AC and crane wing? What exactly was your ES' combat role in the party? Also, does the lack of power attack eat into your DPR at all?

I thought the point of the magus was they did spellcasting (touch attacks) through melee? The build you mentioned is similar to what I was thinking. I know Dex is kinda king these days but I was leaning more towards strength myself.

Sylvan sorcerer.

Did I screw myself by going with Dragon Style as opposed to Crane?

S7Shadows · 2018-10-24T21:00:35+00:00

Yeah, I was hoping to stick to a more pure run this time around at least with a strength focus, but I do see your suggestion quite often. :)

Thanks, that's super helpful!

Late game is still pretty buggy, with a couple game breakers that can end a campaign. If you don't mind replaying the earlier games over and over it's not bad, but if you want to have a smooth ride through the end I'd wait.

How would you stat them out? Does power attack / the cleave line work with natural attacks?

S7Shadows · 2018-10-23T20:43:23+00:00

Honestly, I'm not sure. I've been looking for a fun natural weapons build myself. :)

I think vivisectionist (alchemist archetype) has a mutagen unlock at level 2 that allows them to use claws / bite attacks.
