Also, I have about twenty thousand gold to spend and I get a ten percent discount on whatever I buy. I've tried looking up guides for barbarians, but none of them seem to have suggestions on equipment, so could the great and knowledgeable nerds please help me to gear out my meat shield. In 3.5 I could have equipped him in 5 minutes, but I'm not familiar with magic items in Pathfinder, and I don't own the books or have them in PDF. Since the party was mostly ranged and spell casters I decided to roll a barbarian tank. This doesnt just mean heroism but any other spell that grants bonuses to hit, as long as they dont specify with a weapon.I'm pretty new to Pathfinder and I just got into a game starting at level 6. Dont forget that the morale bonus to attack rolls applies to your grapple checks. It also lets you qualify for the grapple feats, letting you bypass improved unarmed strike RAW. Next turn i maintain the grapple twice with my power attack penalty to do damage for 4 instances of 2d6+15ĭirty fighting improveds your bonus to grapple on a flank by +4 instead of +2. If my shifter made it to 7th level, id have all of those so as a dragonfly id be grappling at a +20 with a single bite attack with grab while using power attack. Next is the 'Bestial Rags' (Ultimate Wildrerness) that grant you an additional 5 mins of minor form, and depending on what kind of rags they are, either grant you a new aspect (so put on the clothes and gain a crocodile aspect, including minor and major forms, while wearing it) or increase your effective druid level by 2 for one you already have (getting the tiger's rake attack at 13th rather than 15th).Īs far as feats are concerned, take dirty fighting, power attack, improved and greater grapple. Not to mention some added 2d6 non lethal damage to an attuned targets. This increases by 2 (+3) if the target is of the creature type the gauntlets are attuned to (like a human-bane weapon). The 'Beast Wrestler's Gauntlets' (Advanced Class Origins) provide a +1 ENHANCEMENT bonus to grapple checks. Okay so up until last week i was playing a grapple shifter and i have a few recommendations.įirst, items.

Might consider not going Snapping Turtle as I think the guide I read said I'd likely need a Headband of Wisdom or something to take an important, or at least very useful/good, feat. But not entirely sure on that order, kinda depends on what happens in sessions. So what kind of items should I be looking out for in the future to pick up? If future aspect pickups matter I was thinking of going Tiger, Bull/Snapping Turtle, Snapping Turtle/Bull, Bear, Falcon/Owl. I've heard of the Wild Enchantment and that armor with enhancements don't apply and apparently that Bracers of Armor don't (correct me if I'm wrong), but things like Ring of Protection and similar items do. So on to that, what kind of magical items work while a shifter is in wild shape? And for items not given as examples, how could I tell if a magical item would or not? I'm planning on making a tiger aspect grappler build.

Another question for my shifter character, and now that I've said that I'm going to ask that people please don't comment saying I should change class or archetype or anything as I'm playing a base shifter and I just want my actual question answered.
