Tiefling Race - What Class to build?

So far the motherless looks the most intereisting with thier extra 1d6 bite attack. Might pair well with a rogue. Wonder if it stacks with Druid Animal form? Thoughts?

An unarmored Sorcerer can have just as much AC, if not more, than any armored character if built properly. Bracers of Armor eventually get close to the AC of full plate, they have access to Shield and plenty of other defensive spells, and they can straight up turn into dragons and stuff for natural armor on top of that. And if you're LG, you can take a level of Scaled Fist and wear the monk robe to have absolutely fantastic Touch AC.

That said, you can play the Magus, it shouldn't make a huge difference, depending on the difficulty you're playing on.

Nevermind, I just realized that Magi and their archetypes don't gain access to Summon Monster spells. Meaning that they can't make use of the Pitborn / Abyssal combo until they gain access to their bloodline spells. And that's very late into the game!

Motherless and other sources of Bite attacks (Vivisectionist Feral Mutagen, Dragon Disciple 2, potentially Barbarian Beast Totem - but beware of alignment conflicts) have great synergy with the Cloak of the Winter Wolf that Trips on successful Bite and the Mastery Fauchard from Sahiya that deals attack damage whenever you successfully land a Combat Maneuver.

Spec for Trip to reliably land them and with Greater Trip, everyone will also get an attack of opportunity whenever you land that trip. Can't trip someone who is already prone... but chances are most things won't survive the first trip and you can switch to another target in range then. While vs tough guys having like up to 3-4 trip attempts per round is also nice.

I'm basing my build on Vivisectionist 12, as the Greater Mutagen bonuses help with CMB and you can spend Discoveries on Combat Trick feats - and its quite feat intensive. Plus can self buff and lots of Sneak Attack damage is also very nice.

But I will also be taking Archaeologist Bard 2 (for Uncanny Dodge) / Dragon Disciple 4 for Bite, Str bonus, AC and Mirror Image.

Already took Traditional Monk 1 (so can't take Barbarian - but I value AC more) for Wis to AC, +5 Robes and Crane Style and Sword Saint 1 (Fauchard) for Weapon Proficiency Fauchard, Weapon Focus Fauchard (needed for Dazzling Display -> Shatter Defenses).

Probably not a good idea to role play a female Motherless, though. Unless you like the idea of your character being viciously ripped apart from the inside out by their first (and last) born heir!

At the very least, she would want First World Immortality ASAP!

And then everybody in your direct bloodline would need to get it, too!

Funny thought. Harrim might be cool with it.
