She took the exit, narrowly avoiding the long traffic jam that Big Red had predicted. She didn't have cell service, but she had the radio, connecting her to a community that lived on the airwaves.

As she drove on the quieter road, she heard the radio chatter—truckers sharing traffic alerts, construction news, and camaraderie. In that moment, she realized her grandfather’s old, clunky radio wasn’t just a antique; it was a lifesaver. She keyed the mic one last time. "Thanks, everyone. Sandstorm out." cb radio

She tried again. "Break, break, any bear reports or lane closures ahead? This is Sandstorm."

She was new to this, using a 102-inch whip antenna mounted to the bumper, a setup she’d inherited from her grandfather, whom they called “Old Copperhead”. "10-4, Big Red," Sarah said, feeling a rush of relief

  1. Looks like a cool build. Personally I hadn’t heard about Shaman King so I learned something knew. What I’m exited to see is Robin Hood using toxophilite or hooded champion ranger archetypes or some adventure time stuff.

  2. I’d really like to see build for the shieldmarshal PrC (Paths of Prestige). I assume a mix of ranger and gunslinger levels, but that might be a trap I’m not seeing.

  3. I can’t take, Weapon Focus: katana (1st), no BAB! or weapon proficiency! ???

      You’re right that you can’t take it at 1st level (and the guide has been updated accordingly), but the weapon proficiency thing isn’t a problem. You can pick a feat whose prerequisites you meet only sometimes, for example, a barbarian with Strength 11 can take Power Attack even though she doesn’t qualify for it unless she’s raging. Similarly, you can pick Weapon Focus (katana) even though you only qualify for it when you’ve manifested your ancestral weapon as a katana.

      If that ruling bothers you, you could also take the Heirloom Weapon trait and pick the katana. It’ll make you proficient with the katana as a two-handed weapon (since its martial), but not as a one-handed weapon (as that’s exotic). Alternatively, you could build Yoh as a dwarf or a kitsune, as those races have a 1/4 oracle favored class bonus that grants them proficiency with one weapon of their choice. Pick any weapon you want when you first take Weapon Focus at Level 3, then retrain the feat to the katana at Level 4 after you gain the bonus. (Of course, if you went dwarf or human, you’d lose one of the Extra Revelation abilities. I’d pick voice of the grave myself.)

      • I looked at doing this as a Kitsune, or Tengu, or Half-Elf. I think a Kitsune would work, I assume you would agree, I just need to stat it out.
        I’m not familiar with that ruling? Nor would Heirloom Weapon work, for me, without that ruling.
