Ok so I was very curious about this I keep hearing that a Summoner or a Synthesist Summoner specifically.

But I was curious what kind of shenanigans one might come up with using a Synthesist Summoner specifically.

So its just gotta be a PF core or base class and can be any combo of builds and PrC you can link too.

But can you come up with a build that would scare even minor gods from getting into a tussle with this guy/girl.

Thinking of a 'friend' the party would run into and at level 20 maybe fight But for now a level 10 build.

Synthesist combos quite well with (Anti)Paladin.
You have CHA synergy, big boost to all Saves, Full Bab, slightly better HD, and Smite, which can get REALLY out of hand if you build your Eidolon-suit right.

There's also the option to make a Gundolon (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=12152413#post12152413) to end all Gundolons.

Synthesist 20/Gunslinger (Pistolero) 20
Be a Half-Elf for the extra Evo points.

At least 12 Pistols (note: you'll still need a free arm/hand to reload with).
Crazy high DEX
DEX to damage
Being able to use the Pistolero "Up Close and Deadly" Deed for FREE (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/signature-deed-grit) on ALL attacks (Gunslinger 20 also works).

Note that on a miss you still deal half the bonus damage from Up Close and Deadly.
At level 20 this is half of 5d6 damage. Times at least 15 (12+Iteratives).
That's 8.75 average on a miss, assuming that all 15 somehow miss is still a minimum of 131.25 damage every round. But given that you are probably shooting at Touch AC most attack should hit anyway.
And don't forget the Improved Critical feat. You'll be getting 1.5 crits every round! At x4 damage!



Level 10 is perfectly serviceable, but MUCH less crazy. You'll have fewer arms/attacks, and Up Close and Deadly isn't free until level 11.
