1. Yes, but in this case it can be an exotic weapon if you choose
2. I am ok with it, instead of your scales it can be your skin. I can see it with the grippli, as many frogs in nature can change the color of their skin.
Having trouble with a few decisions... Flipping between air and water blessings, for instance, and between Holy Symbol Tattoo, Reincarnated or Fate's Fortune (all of which tie in nicely to the random background) for the non-campaign trait.
Should bang it out over the weekend, though.
Have to be. No male Changelings.
Julian is male aasimar. But he is an androgynous, red haired pretty boy.
Still up in the air on mine. Probably male though, although a tough nut female hobgoblin would be cool.
I played one, once -- EK (since Hobbies love both women and arcane magic so much...)

Working on Android concept now. A few questions.
Campaign Trait
Academy Graduate. Investigators actually already get all Int and Cha skills (except Handle Animal) as class skills. Wondering if you would consider +2 to additional skills in lieu of the class skills. Knowledge (Engineering), Knowledge (Local) and Diplomacy would probably fit the concept best.
Weapon
This one is tricky.
Option 1 Reskin a gunslinger weapon or rule that the PC simply uses a gunslinger weapon.
Option 2 Character uses a technological weapon.
There are four pistols and four rifles that might make sense as the "heirloom weapon."
TTechnological Weapons
- Arc Pistol
- Arc Rifle
- Laser Pistol
- Laser Rifle
- Sonic Pistol
- Sonic Rifle
- Zero Pistol
- Zero Rifle
All present a couple challenges. One is cost. They are even more expensive than gunslinger weapons. Presumably we'd use the same rule that its a beat up or highly modified version that only the character can use.
Two is that they all do energy damage meaning that there will be problems with resistance/immunity at higher levels. I don't have a great solution for this, but it might be possible to come up with a feat, deed or enhancement that helps overcome this down the road.
The last is charges. I doubt there is going to be any easy way to get charges in Savage Tide. Wondering about the possibility of using the Nanite Surge ability (probably with extra uses via Extra Surge) to recharge. Also wondering if it might be possible to use Recharge Innate Magic extracts to get more Nanite Surge if we went this route (even though that normally wouldn't be allowed since its Ex instead of Sp)
Archetype
Any chance you'd let me do a mix/match and take the Ceaseless Observation ability of the Empiricist archetype (in exchange for poison lore and poison resistance) but stick with the Steel Hound otherwise.
As a note, I am really not a fan of guns or high tech in PF. Not sure what the others think, although I am pretty sure we had this discussion a few weeks ago, I forget what the outcome was.
I'm thinking of some of these bonus things gained from the background checks cool additions to your characters above and beyond the starting stuff, but I do want to limit it somewhat. I like that your guy comes from another world and has something strange like that.
So you could start with one fully charged but that would be it for the gun, unless there was something later that I added in that you found to recharge it. Without a way to charge you would use it sparingly. (like a laser pistol).
I'm guessing the Steel Hound may not look as good if the laser weapon is of limited use? Otherwise I don't have too much issue with it.
You don't have to use both heirloom weapon and exotic weapon on the same thing.
For the Campaign trait/feat thing I'd be ok trading the +2 for Knowledge (history) and Knowledge (nobility) for a +2 to Knowledge (engineering) and Knowledge (Local)
Will water rat give me swim as a class skill? I still like the flavor of it. First level spell touch of the sea does so much more for me, I am adding it to my spell list.
Getting excited. Should be able to work on my background more soon.

Now time for your significant events of childhood and adolescence.
Significant Events of your Childhood!
1d3 events occur, roll 1d20 for each result.
Significant Events of Adolescence!
1d3 events occur, roll 1d20 for each result.
For ages I am assuming human lifespan. If you want to adjust for the race you choose you can approximate what the difference would be in lifespan vs years.
Significant Events of your Childhood #1=12
Roll at what age this occurs. 1d12 for what age. You gain a friend. Roll 1d20 and a 1d6
This gains you a Light Side Personality Trait. Roll 2d20.
Significant Events of your Adolescence #1=20
You begin your adventuring career at an age older than normal (This will affect a later table check) Roll 1d6 for how many years past 18.
Significant Events of your Adolescence #2=16
Roll 1d6+12 for what age this occurs. An exotic Event occurs. Roll 1d20.
This has you acquire a Random Personality trait. Roll 1d100 then 2d20
Significant Events of your Adolescence #3=7
Roll 1d6+12 for what age this occurs. You learn an unusual skill. Roll 1d20
Crap I messed up a little. Will have to adjust some....
Significant Events of your Childhood #1=12
At the age of 3 you made a new friend. Like your mother, you have a soft spot for strays. You find a male wild animal (your choice) and nurse it back to health and it befriends you. You have pretend conversions which make you more imaginative in life.
Significant Events of your Adolescence #1=20
You begin your adventuring career at the age of 24. (This will affect a later table check)
Significant Events of your Adolescence #2=16
At the age of 18, a change or upheaval happens in your family. Roll 1d6 and 2d20
Significant Events of your Adolescence #3=7
At the age of 15 you have a religious experience. Roll 1d10 and 1d10 again
Significant Events of your Adolescence #2=16
Let's do a different roll for this one, as I don't like the possible results and what you already have rolled:
At the age of 18, roll 1d20
Significant Events of your Adolescence #3=7
At the age of 15 you have a religious experience. Out of curiosity from what you have heard you personally investigate and learn more about this deity. (Your choice what fits for you). In a vision your deity asks you to perform a sacred but dangerous mission. However this experience causes you to be irreverent and mock the gods. (Leave it up to you on how to manifest that and if you are finally now doing what was asked or if you have already done it leaving you irreverent)
Special Adolescent event. Roll 1d20
Special Adolescent event=9
You learn your mother's profession
Significant Events of Adulthood Roll 1d3+1 and a 2d20 for each result.
I don't get it... Now it worked, but after it said it didn't.
Anyhow, here is my crunch for my character. Let me know what you think.
Significant Events of Adulthood #1
Religious experience, the gods won't leave you be. Roll 1d10 and then 1d20
