Prophet of the Old Ones

Okay so the Voice of the Void let’s you channel Great Old Ones and the things that live between the stars and of course I had to make a build with that archetype because I love love Lovecraftian stuff, sue me I guess.

Feats by Level

1-Improved Unarmed Strike

Human Bonus-Catch Off-Guard

3-Dirty Fighting

5-Power Attack

7-Cornugon Smash

9-Improved Disarm

11-Improved Steal

13-Improved Grapple

15-Greater Grapple

17-Improved Trip

19-Improved Dirty Trick

Yup. We are doing a ravenous maniac build that should probably be put in an asylum. Catch Off-Guard makes us proficient with improved weapons and make unarmed opponents we attack with improved weapons flat-footed. We double down on this via Improved Disarm and Improved Steal. And with Power Attack+Cornugon Smash, the hurts and debuffs keep coming. We are also great at wrestling the asylum staff via Improved Grapple, Improved Trip and Improved Dirty Trick as we really don’t want to go back to our cell where the voices are especially strong.

Final Thoughts on the Build

This build is wild, you are excellent with improvised weapons, can make enemies become terrified of you, your spell list is surprisingly great, you’ve got a beefed up Spirit Surge, and you can Channel Damage to all non-aberrations that deal fairly good damage and makes them Confused too. Plus you are a great battlefield controller via your various Combat Maneuvers. You are completely insane, but in my book that’s a plus, not a negative.
