Best Pyromancer/Burninator build in PF
« on: March 25, 2016, 12:29:22 PM »
I'm looking to build a silly pyromaniac character. Will start at 7th level, and will be working as part of a military, but likely doing "special ops" types of jobs. I like the looks of the Alchemist, but am wondering if it can be as effective as a sorcerer. They do get a lot of bombs, and also have spellslots. So they should in theory be able to blow a lot of stuff up, but I've never played one.

Here's what I'm thinking: I can use anything from PF or 3.5. So... what's the highest rate of fire we can get on a sling? And would that apply to a gnome calculus?

With the Fast Bombs discovery, I can "throw" a bomb as an attack, and it is clarified in the pfsrd that any feats or other things that boost your number of attacks also boost the number of bombs you can throw.

Edit: And... problem solved. :D The DM will let me use the gnome calculus along/combined with the following: There is a way to load a sling as a free action by juggling in PF. Even the visual is awesome. There is also a double sling, which is as insane as it sounds. I can't wait to use this.  :lmao After TWF, the rest of my feats will probably go to Extra Bombs to give myself some stamina.

Pyromaniac gnome gets +1 level determining fire bombs.

Focused Burn gets you a couple extra fire bomb damage

It has to be human, unfortunately (a lot of the specialized alchemy stuff seems to be for gnomes or goblins).

Isnt there a trait that lets you be treated as a different race ?
Could that let you pull off the racial stuff?
Im really bad at what I do.

Racial Heritage human feat does that, while Adopt does only traits.

Unfortunately, the gnome is an alternate racial ability, not normal trait
