Help me become a ROCK LEGEND!
« on: March 22, 2015, 02:20:49 AM »
The situation: I need to perform in a rock concert!
The character: Half-Elf Bloodrager 8!  No ranks in Perform, but Cha 16.
The question: How do I become a rock god?!

It may be for fun, but I want to optimize the shit out of this impromptu musical challenge.  I figure the obvious, get a scroll/potion of eagle's splendor and a masterwork item for performance, but I figure there must be other ways I can push my checks into the heavens.  I am limited to pathfinder only, but as far as I know all books are in, so...

What can I do to break this wide open?
Mudada.

Glibness is for bluffing.  Unless I can use bluff in there somehow?

Make everyone believe you're a ROCK LEGEND and nobody will be able to hear your performance over the screaming teenagers.

That's a good point.  I can't use it myself, but if I get minions, I mean party members, to do it...

Yeah. Yeah that's it...

Actually it's funny, death metal is exactly what I'm going with.  After all, this is my character.  And I have a bag full of preserved monster body parts.  It's perfect.

Sadly I am restricted to Pathfinder... so most of those haven't crossed over.

Power Plant (ring of shocking grasp that otherwise doesn't do anything)  0.5*1*2000 = 1000 gp

Masterwork Guitar with Lightning Resistance

Power cable (custom item of Mindlink + oddball metamagic/psi)

Piercer polymorphed into an Object, usually suspected of being a Mimic
with a custom item of Shout + oddball metamagic/psi
and a 1 time casting of Charm Animal, so it responds to being called "amp"

Custom item of Chained Cure Lesser Deafness, so the audience can stick around longer.

Custom item of "Willing targets of Mass Otto's Irresistable Dance" ... that'd be the really expensive one.


diplomanced Hill Giant with Obese flaw and 1 rank in Perform Drumming
doesn't need an actual drum, just beats his ginormous stomach, hand claps,
and slaps his nasty face for some tonal effects.
Custom clairsentience Item of Time Keeping (aka Metronome) 0.5*1*2000 = 1000 gp
... special item weakness/power Gnomes and Artificers are Dazed when able to see this whole thing happen.
Your codpiece is a mimic.
