I everybody, i'm searching for a warforged who look like a mech from anime. i have an idea of what it should do but i'm not sure of how.

it will a robot who can shoot with gun or laser, use a shit load of weapon, be able to take a lot of pain and finnally hurt people very bad.

first its a 32 point buy, no artificer lvl (we already have one) and i'm thinking of some incarnate lvl (i've heard that some power in the magic of incarnum can help me to shoot ray), warblade is kinda cool for a tank, and i'm searching option to do massive damage.
it may look like that :

[spoiler]
1: incarnate
2; incarnate
3: warblade
4: warblade
5:
6: warforged juggernaut
7: warforged juggernaut
8: warforged juggernaut
9: warforged juggernaut
10:warforged juggernaut
11:
12:
13:
14:

Totemist might work. Totemists are flavored to be like Magical Beasts, so this is basically like Beast Wars. Totemist gets a ton of natural attacks, and the manticore belt could be a laser.

Incarnate 3/Totemist 2 isn't bad, although it hurts the BAB.  (Skillful weapon?).  Expanded Essentia (or whatever the feat is called) is worth taking reasonably soon.

Best,
David

EDIT:  But, in retrospect, you really want to have a clear goal for the build.  What do you want it to be good at?  That will help a lot.  Good in melee?  Good in ranged combat?  Good at melee tactical stuff?  (Tripping?  Grappling?  Battlefield control?).
Some Cool Quotes:  [spoiler]
Quote from: unknown
Non-PC activities like out of combat healing should be left to wands and NPCs. It's not fun to play a walking wand of CLW. Likewise, being a combat wall is not a viable PC role. A Wall of Force could do that.

-Sort of, but you left out the important note that a Wall of Force does it better.

Quote from: Runestar / skydragonknight
The most powerful character is the one that you actually get to play.

Quote from: Operation Shoestring
I often have to remind people not to underrate divination.  The ability to effectively metagame without actually metagaming beats the ability to set things on fire more times than not.

Dragonfire Adept will get you a ton of different breath weapons. Just say that the line of lightning is a rocket punch, and shout "FINARU BURASUTAA!!!" when using Five-fold Breath of Tiamat.

I put a few in this thread.

Another suggestion: Play a dragonborn warforged and take the Dragon Tail and Prehensile TailSS feats. Now put an armbow on your tail and say its a shoulder-mounted cannon.

There's a PrC in PGtE called High Elemental Binder. It lets you combine with elementals. Yes.

(See if your DM lets you reflavour the air elemental as a construct resembling a pair of wings, etc.)


A "good" build should be able to do everything in this video.

Honestly, in terms of Mecha I much prefer building a mecha with the Stronghold Builder's Guidebook to trying to make a character into one.  There's a lot more customization available, and you have a pilot who can actually leave the mech once in a while.

If you're ninth level or higher, the landlord feat gets you a supply of virtual money that can only be spent on your stronghold.

Multiple party members can pool the cash they get from the feat to make a better stronghold.

Strongholds can fly, swim, dig, and have spell turrets mounted on them.

For a few feats down, you can have a flying combining laser-blasting mecha

If you spend the XP to found the legacy yourself, you get those Legacy feats for "free".

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

Why do you need incarnate levels again? They only have d4 Hit Dice and poor BAB. What soulmelds were you using?

Warlock will get you a better laser. Dragonfire adept will get you a big laser.

i was hoping to take cerulean sandal (dimension door) but sadly it turn out to be a standard action, and youre right i don need the incarnum. But my problem it<s still the same, how will i be able to get dimension door (or the same) as move action?

for the laser and other i will use weapon of legacy and like PhaedrusXY have proposed i will sacrifice xp so i have three feat left and sixth level to get: dimension door, massive damage (with weapon), good BaB and i am open to proposition

There is a manouver in Tome of Battle which can get you that. Alternately, play a warlock (also comes with a variable-fire laser), pick up Flee the Scene and go into one of the two shadowpouncing PrCs (check a warlock handbook for details) which make the action required to DD irrelevant (full attack after teleporting).

And then, after warlocking your weapon, just make your legacy weapon a buffed out version of a Warlock's Sceptre, and just have it boost the damage by a metric shitload (not a regular shitload), plus maybe some built in modifiers, and have it grant an enhancement bonus to your eldritch blasts. Custom Legacy weapon FTW.
