Fun, but viable, builds?
Title says it all, but this is what I want to specify.

Apart from these classes, what are some fun builds to play on something around Normal-Hard?
  • Rogue
  • Ranger
  • Fighter
  • Wizard
  • Sylvan Sorc. :naomi_sd:

Not looking for the most OP Game-Breaker build, but something that can be fun to play while also being strong enough to compete with Linzi, the best party member ever in the history of Bardom. I'm about to kill Armag again, so I want to prepare for my next Neutral playthrough beforehand.

Wizard: If I could suggest replacing the Wizard with a Sage Sorcerer. They play similarly enough to a Wizard, they get enough of a spell selection, and you can't have to worry about picking the right spells every day. Just more fun during fights.

Rogue: Reach Thug Intimidater (dreadful carnage eventually). Best as the Baron, with tons of skills, great persuasion to always get your way, and nice and safe with the reach weapon.

A half orc crusader of Torag (artifice)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1898605825
This one was a cleric but if i was redoing it, he will be crusader.

Important feat: Greataxe feat, extend, power attack .... and whatever :)

Con: Glass cannon but the half orc ability can sometime counter it.

I stated 'Apart from these classes' because I do not want said classes.

Disarming Strike Aldori Defender with splashes to taste. Better than it looks, but won’t blow out fights in one round. Disarmed mobs will keep trying to attack, generating Attacks of Opportinity for everyone nearby.

Abyssal Bloodline is a great pick for soloing the game as either an Eldritch Scion, or a Sorcerer. Not only does the bloodline give you a whopping +6 to Strength by the time you hit the late game, but it gives all of your Summoning type spells damage reduction that scales with your level.

Sadly, Eldritch Scions don't get summoning magic, but they can still benefit from the automatic +6 Strength by focusing their attribute points on Dexterity instead. Or hyper specialize into Strength so they can go arm wrestle Storm Giants or whatever.

Arcane bomber and grenader are so much fun to mix together. Just be careful though because adding to arcane bomber does nothing to grenader grenades, and vise versa (except for the buff you get at level 2 grenader, that does work with arcane bombs)

Divine Guardian has two underrated abilities at level three: Bodyguard and In Harm’s Way. Since they don’t get spellcasting it makes a good splash for a DEX class with Combat Reflexes to get all the early Paladin goodies.

A few more options that are fun and viable:

A feyspeaker druid who tanks while wildshaped using mirror image
An evil-aligned monster tactician (alignment necessary to get melee-oriented summons)
A mad dog/sacred huntsman
A fire-earth-fire kineticist AoE tripper (though you may find this one too broken to use)

Dual Wielding Throwing Weapon is fun, but needs both STR and DEX. If you want, get Vivi/Rouge for Sneak Attacks or splash for SA feats. (Would reccomend 2lvl Splash Fighter for feats, but not neccesary).

Mystic Theurege (Herald/any Arcane) with Summoning feats and Metamagic can cast army of summons, it is fun to steamroll through enemies (Wonder if it would work with Monster Tactician?).

Archeologist or Alchemist and then mix one of them with Duelist(just few lvls) these 2 are my favorite fun combination, needs DEX, CHA for Archeologist, and INT for Duelist and Alchemist. You can even mix match those 3 classes together.

Ranged w/ Sneaks doesn’t need STR lol. Deadly Aim + Inspire Courage + Good Hope + Sense Vitals + etc, etc...

STR damage pales.

Like your other ideas.

It’s fun to use MT to get Divine Touch spells into your Magus spellbook so you can Spellstrike with them.

The chance you romance me is the chance I don't [Explicit Content] with Kanerah.

And I love my sexy Tiefling.

All the sweet words I told and this is how you respond to me 😞
Really women are depressing like an Arcane failed spell
