Idea a friend of mine had during our session tonight: Pimp Gambit (The X-Men character who used playing cards as weapons)

Requirements
1. Leadership feat, used to become a pimp
2. Fancy purple robes
3. A swordcane
4. Must be able to make it rain death, specifically by throwing money

Preferences
Ability Score priority order: Cha, Int, Dex, Str, Con, Wis
Not a full caster (I add this to everything because full casters make everything too easy :smalltongue:)

1. Factotum
2. (Greater) Manyshot + Cunning Surge = all the throwing attacks! Use Knowledge Devotion + Collector of Stories (a skill trick) to boost damage
3. Beg to import the Throw Anything (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/throw-anything-combat---final)feat from Pathfinder
4. ???
5. Profit

2. Four words: Robe of Scintillating Colors (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/r-z/robe-of-scintillating-colors)

It's perfect

Oh, that is good. The guy who wants to do this is currently playing a factotum.

Any other quality flat damage buffs anyone can think of?

Throw anything is also in Complete Warrior. You just don't get +1 to hit with splash weapons.

!!!

Get Leadership, make money, kill people with money with money for money.

@TMR: Such swag, so scintillating. Much approve.

How much damage do you want to deal? Because you could dip Hulking Hurler to throw really dense coins to your enemy. You might need 4 levels of Bloodstorm Blade if you don't want to drag around several massive coins around.
You know, I'll probably use this character as a villain/importan NPC in a future campaign. A dude who always flips in his hand a coin made of the most dense material of the multiverse and throws it as a weapon would be really cool. Who knew that BIG MONEY could hurt so much?

EDIT: Now I only need to figure out what's the most dense material of the multiverse.
