Nevermind.

I'm just giving up and going back to bed.

OTHAR TRYGGVASSEN is just an unarmed Swordsage / Factotum.

You need to adapt this for more adventurousness, also D&D.

I'd be tempted to suggest Janni, but that's 6 RHD and +5 LA so you'd have to savage it up. Now I don't think that's defined so you would have to homebrew it down to ECL 8 - which should be easy enough, but you'd have to talk to your DM.

Ed: Half-Janni is only LA +3 - which leaves you 5 levels of whatever as the third leg of your tristalt.

So your inspirations seem to run towards barbarian; so let's have that on one side...
Barbarian/Artificer/Factotun
16str/int 15dex 16con 18int/str 15cha/wis 13wis/cha
Edit: 16 str 15 dex 16 con 18 int 15 cha (Intimidate is a thing) 13 wis

The artificer side helps to create boosts: potions and the like, to expend after you've started to rage

Factotum gives you out of combat skill use, and the capacity to tinker away stuff and boost your skills. It can also give you an extra standard round. Can be replaced with rogue.

Barbarian is your in-combat face. Go in and hit hard.

Edit: you don't really need any PRCs you got great HP, all good saves, full BAB, and good skillpoints per level

ACF-wise
Go for lion pounce on the barbarian, and ferocity

This is 3.PF, so using Pathfinder's "Monsters as PCs" rules, a Janni is only the equivalent of a 4th level character.

This is like trying to guess a number between 1 and 40 billion. Try to narrow down the options a bit and maybe stick to just 1 system?

Also a list of what you want your character to be able to do would help.

Thank you for posting. :smallsmile:

A gargoyle (if you can do that in pathfinder with 8 levels, I can't seem to find the level adjustments) rogue/sorcerer.

Tristalts are perfect for building massively allround capable characters with no weaknesses. The fun is in not doing that. Tristalts are also great for playing monster races without most of the usual drawbacks. This build has plenty of power (depending on your groups definition of plenty), but lacks the easy ways to apply it, like just having loads of hitpoints (those 5d10 from the gargoyle are helpful, but they're no 8d12) and a high attack, or being able to prepare a spell for any effect you want. Use your spells and skills to steer the character in a direction you like. Treetop dwelling adventurer with just a hint of Crocodile Dundee, hit and run specialist, Batman, intimidator extraordinaire, organic fighter plane, monster mobster, mix and match the best flavors you can find. Could even be fun as a completely straight lawful good private investigator type.

On a slightly more relevant note perhaps: you probably can't choose because there are too many good options and no good ways of comparing them. Your problem is not needing more ideas, your problem is choosing from the ones you have. Maybe just put 32 ideas on a piece of paper and run them through a single elimination tournament, picking the one you like best from every pair that comes up, until you have a winner?

These. There are some very helpful people on these forums, but you've given a bit too much to work with; anything would just be a shot in the dark.

I mean, the characters you cite go all over the map. Giant hulking unkillable brutes. Mystical unkillable brutes with guns. Gun-toting terrorists with a moral code. Gun-toting GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!s with an ethical code. Robots. Demon-things. Mutant rage-beasts.

Ask how to build any one of these ideas, you'll not only get suggestions, you'll probably get a link to a thread where someone has already done that. But you're not asking how to build these ideas - you're asking for us to decide for you.

Narrow the field, chief.

Yes, that was my first thought - and then I noticed he'd typed one idea in BOLD CAPS - so I went for that.
