Making the Most Ridiculous Character in Pathfinder 2e

[@beanbeanson9356]

In all honesty... as ridiculous as this build sounds at first glance, I can't help but picture them driving around in their water filled wheelchair like it is a god damn skateboard. Just making flips and tricks to confuse their enemies and occasionally jumping out of the water to just whack them in the head with their fish tail. It sounds incredibly awesome to me. Great stuff!

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

Certainly one way to flavor 'tumbling through' an enemy's square.

[@imkranely7230]

The BBEG of this campaign is just a spiral staircase.

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

That or Neil deGrasse Tyson just saying ‘no, physics doesn’t work like that!

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

my awaken animal sea build is just a fat ass with all the wisdom but peanut brain so they just get carried around by other sea-life an spout great facts then IDK makes Toddler faces an shits its self this is the glory of making a lot of builds for NPC drafts then just PCs

[@noahfreeman8115]

I love this. Need more “fun but not bc they’re broken but bc they’re fun” builds

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

Thanks.

[@RomLoneWolf23]

So, you're basically a lionfish that's slashing people with the barbs on their tailfins.

We love a spin kicking demon mermaid! Now where is our Aquatic campaign to run all this fish stuff in Paizo, we've been waiting too long!

[@craigjones7343]

I suspect that unless it has really strong lore and underwater AP would not sell well to the majority of PF2 players. But those who do want it will gobble it up hatecore

[@chiragasnani3437]

@craigjones7343 maybe a sequel to the Pirate Skull AP from pf1e. And there have been some very focussed campaigns lately (Dwarf focussed, Wardens very druid/animal focussed) so something water based might be very cool, especially if it takes players underwater.

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

Could be a celestial mermaid, never know!

[@chiragasnani3437]

@@PsiPrimeProductions1 We love a Celestial Beastial mermaid!

Could you make Trevor Belmont from the Netflix ver of Castlevainia

[@einkar4219]

I would like to see his version but I personally think it is too easy to make Trevor Belmont Human - Unconventional weaponry - flickmace aditional wepons are - 1h sword, whip and chakram str based Thamaturge with wepon implement I woud chose thamaturege due to esoteric lore and due to how Trevor specifically in season 1 exploited weakness of the creatures of the night but if yo want something more grounded you could go with fighter also undead slayer archetype seams very appropriate

I did have one idea. . . I’d have to go rewatch the series. Castlevania is one of the series I’m not super familiar with.

[@szegediadam8793]

Howl of the wild is such a good book for do some realy crazy stuff! We're at level 19 in Extinction's curse, so we started to talk about what's next, and I already decided I want to play a battle axe minotuar wizard champion of nethys for our next long game :D And for our next one shot I made my elephant (awakened animal) monk wrestler because have an elephant suplex anyone is just pure joy XD

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

Of, and this is something a friend of mine did, go the other direction. Toy poppet, barbarian, wrestler, because being suplexed by a teddy bear is even funnier!

[@alarkhar]

Funny thing is, I know a fish that could use Talon Strike - it's called the surgeonfish. Why is it called that way? Because, as it happens, its fins are razor sharp, and so are its scales. It is literally the perfect defense machine - any predator stupid enough to try and eat a surgeonfish gets gutted from the inside out. Now, imagine a mermaid whose lower half is a surgeonfish's body - she can literally do a handstand and rip an opponent open like an old paper bag with her tailfin.

[@eltrox1]

The tail whack reminds me of Asterix and obelix's fish trader who smacks the blacksmith with his fish😂😂

[@darkblade190]

I don’t know if it’s crazier, but I do have an Orc Wizard that often throws a magically enhanced bastard sword at enemies. Universalist Wizard for Hand of Apprentice. At lv3 take Weapon Proficiency, at 4 take Bespell strikes. Initiative is rolled, spend first two actions casting Runic Weapon on the sword making it a +1 striking d12 weapon +1d6 force damage. Third action Hand of the Apprentice chuck it up to 500ft away, using Intelligence to hit. Finally free action release the returned weapon so a martial can pick it up and have fun for the combat. Note: I play pathfinder society so characters and levels can differ, so sometimes he plays with lower level characters that can’t buy striking runes yet. At higher levels this will probably not be a good strategy, though I am finding a shortbow useful for aid actions (Dm ruling that you must aid with the same type of roll as the check, ie attack roll for strikes, using the same rules as if you were doing a strike such as range, and loading)

[@toodleselnoodos6738]

Loved it! My version was also a Nephilim Merfolk, but I have it Nimble Hooves so it’d be more like a fishy dwarf. And class? Fire Kineticist. Imagine a sardine jetting around the field with fire. >:D

[@TheLocalDisasterTourGuide]

Most ridiculous you say? I have a video I'm scripting for my channel that actually features some Howl of the Wild content, but I'm waiting for Player Core 2 because I want to use this build to highlight the updated Oracle rules when they drop. Just know, you may get a challenge in a month & a half! 😂 Also, fun build! I like it! Just adventure with an Inventor & say they're constantly tinkering with the chair! There's all of the in-game justification you need!

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

Maybe not ‘all’ the justification. I told this idea to my purest friend and he said it physically pained him. (He’s a good sport about it. Especially after I said I wouldn’t play the character for reals.)

[@maverickhunteraxl1607]

Wacky and fun builds are always so fun to play and come up with

[@vekthegoblin2592]

It's not quite as silly from a mechanical standpoint of Air Bud rules, but my favorite whacky character I've come up with to-date is a monstrous skeleton summoner whose eidolon is a monstrous skeleton. The skeleton has the time traveler background, and has come from the future to teach their more bestial past self all the magic they've learned-with middling results so far. 😂

[@lyracian]

That is quite silly. I enjoyed that.

[@Parzival0152]

yes! please! more of this kind of content!

[@FireBowProductions]

My wife recently came up with the concept of a Fruit Leshy Wizard with the Barbarian Archetype for Free Archetype. Will let you know how it plays when she plays it.

[@neurolancer81]

That mini looks very good! Silly or not, it’s an interesting build.

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

How one 'tumbles through' someone's square while in a water wheelchair is questionable, but yeah, I like it.

[@americannerdinnz]

I was literally JUST telling my son how there are no "see how dumb this is" Pathfinder videos, unlike D&D. And then I watched this...

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

Glad I helped?

[@VJK102]

Actually, I think as an adventurer, you want the Land Dweller's chair. Its like Traveler's Chair, but for merfolk. The Supramarine its like the Basic Chair

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

True, but you may not be able to afford one at level 1. And by level 5, you may not need one!

[@cheezeofages]

If you think that's the most ridiculous character in pf2e you clearly haven't met my cyborg tuna detective that in Atlantis was a fish pro-wrestler and still goes by his alias of Mango Suplex.

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

Hats off to you, sir. Sounds like you had a . . . tuna fun coming up with that build!

[@americannerdinnz]

Oh, boo! I very want to report that pun, but I shoal not.

[@kevindaniel1337]

... how does that not require legs??? Im imagining the charavter flopping around tail slapping people.

[@PsiPrimeProductions1]

Clawdancer doesn't require legs? It just doesn't.

Built a a Merfolk who uses that Shark smells blood live style for Thaumaturge torture to all unlucky bastards who enter water mix that with my demoralizing Pistolero Gunslinger Azarketi an we have bullying XD adore the sea races so much BS
