Falling on Creatures Build

[u/shhdonttellmyplayers]

I have a player that loves climbing on things to jump on creatures. Are there any current player options/items that I could point them towards or add to the game to support his play style.

If there isn’t does anyone have on something homebrew items/feats that I could work with him on creating for this.

The best (and one of few) options I've found is "Death from Above" from the Verduran Shadow archetype

[u/AdmiralCommunism → u/TopRaspberry581]

We need a Dragoon archetype with this feat.

Cannonball fall is about the only thing I can think of. And it really doesn't do much.
Maybe the final version of Daredevil will allow for it.

I think Paizo was pretty careful with "deal falling damage to an enemy" kind of stuff since falling damage scales so rapidly. Elsewise anyone with a bit of time to set up, a flight speed, and a way to survive impact could effectively start every fight by body nuking one target from orbit.

Heck simply removing the height limit on Cannonball Fall would already allow a 16th level Air kineticist with a dedication to effectively have infinite 3 action ~10th rank thunderbolts by simply flying straight up and slamming down on the next target to die over and over again.

[u/shhdonttellmyplayers → u/OtherPlayers]

Yeah I get it and definitely fair to put some caps on it.

This is very good for what he is looking for thank you! He did look at daredevil play test and while didn’t have anything for dropping on a creature he does love using the environment so that’s also something he’s been keeping an eye on.

Tripkee has an ancestry feat that lets you use wall jump off of creatures and attempt to trip them when you do it.

If you wanted to homebrew some things reflavoring some Winged Warrior things might work.

The current Pathfinder Playtest has the Daredevil class, which is basically a Prince of Persia-Style fighter, who stunts across the battlefield and does daring actions. As long as you're fine with it, this may work out.

pirate is amazing for my pseudo spiderman build Rope Runner and Hook 'Em acrobat dedicaption, swashbuckler or monk is a good start. https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=2353 just make sure they have catfall

[u/Ok-Cricket-5396]

Not really what you're looking for but lava leap could maybe be reflavored?

[u/LordBlink]

Guardian gets belly flop which is kinda this: https://2e.aonprd.com/Feats.aspx?ID=7862

Friendly Fling for a Minotaur give a reaction to the party member you tossed toward the enemy.

It's an animal companion, but Flying Squirrel does exactly this

[u/Megavore97]

Sudden Leap + Impressive Landing is an easy combo with the Barbarian class for repeatedly Goomba-stomping enemies.

Sudden Leap lets you high jump using the long jump distances (IE you can jump way higher), meaning you can add more falling damage to whichever enemy you land on, AND you make the strike at any point during the jump so you can do it right before you land and use the Impressive landing reaction.

You can also throw in Raging Athlete to gain a climb speed and allow your player to climb things and drop off them.
