As there is a cleric and druid, that is a lot of magic; so I will build my guy on the rogue base, but the city rogue doesnt really make sense so I would like to use the wilderness rogue changes from the Unearth Arcana which is more along the outside pirate goblin theme.

I don't know if there's an official 'engineer' class, but earlier you were talking about doing an 'engineer' and the GM surely didn't sound against the idea.
Found this:
The Engineer (Alchemist Archetype) which is what it says on the tin?
(And Whosi is hilarious, also I dunno if I'm accepted yet and even if I am party balance isn't as important as unbalanced nuttiness probably. :) I just posted here cuz I saw you ask about how to make an engineer)

I just saw that we are supposed to have minimun starting gold, 60 gp in my case. That's barely any money for ammo! If I drop the dragon's breath cartridge, the armor, 2 doses of powder, 1 bullet and 1 pellets I might get to that money. James, are you ok with this or can you just let me keep the armor?

The minimum starting gold is to reflect the fact that you're all starving goblin members of a failing tribe that has been hounded by enemies on all sides. You're not bright eyed heroes out to conquer the world. Lose everything down to the minimum. Don't worry, treasure will flow.
Also: everything used in the build must be Paizo-made. No Unearthed Arcana, no third party stuff. I've had bad experiences with both.

Pix; how did you make your character; is there a book? I have some ideas and some pathfinder stuff. Gunpowder? yes?
hehe Goblin most likely to blow himself sky high. could use some help fleshing out my guy; am posting basic idea.
The book I'm using is the Goblins of Golarion companion. It gives you the stats for goblins PCs, new traits and feats and info about the different tribes. The stat block and the Other Gear section is instead inspired by the pregenerated characters in the We Be Goblins module, which unlike the Companion is free at the Paizo store.
I see that you are going with Rogue. A good trait to choose could be Color Thief: you blend into the enviroment due to the odd colour of your skin (+2 stealth if you wear light or no armor), which is fine since you are basically covered in coal.
As for feat, in the Companion there is the Burn!Burn!Burn! one (1d4 extra damage when attacking with nonmagical or alchemical fire, +4 reflexes to avoid catching fire). I think it would fit your character.

Gotcha. Dropping all the stuff, getting a padded armor (5 gp) instead. I'm not using any 3rd party stuff as far as I can see.
What do you think of my character? Do you have any suggestions to make?

You can get stuff for 3/4 the cost if it is 'cobbled together'. This means that it weighs double what it should and it breaks on a natural roll of a 1.
Which just adds wonderfully to the image of gobs running around with tied-together weapons too large for them that are as liable to damage the wielder as the target, IMHO. :)
That's a rule from the Goblins of Golarion Companion, btw, so totally legal here (I made a LOT of use of it!)

Pix; I dont have the Companion; would you mind just making my gobby? I think you have a good grip on what I am trying for and this feat and trait you suggested are fine.

Whosi probably needs to redo skills for pathfinder; for AD&D; all those are class skills for a wilderness rogue except for knowledge: Architecture and Enginering.

There is a Rogue Archetype called 'Trapsmith' in the APG, but it hasn't got the Architecture or Engineering skills. Perhaps our benefactor will let you swap 'Knowledge (Dungeoneering)' for 'Knowledge (Architecture)' or 'Knowledge (Engineering)' or some such like?
There's a suggested 'Tinker' with the traits 'Improvisational Equipment' and 'Master Craftsman' somewhere around here with a skill list like that.
Aha. Also a 'Trapsmith' Rogue in the same thread.
But it's all under 'houserules'.

From most of what I am seeing, depended on how wedded you are to the idea, you might just be better off picking a class that matches the effects you want and describing your spells/feats as clockwork/technomagic. Sorry.
There seems to be some steampunky/clockworky stuff in the Rhune Pathfinder supplement but I haven't got it, so I don't know beyond the illos online...

Hey Pixel; can you help me figure out my skills for next level; I really need some climb and perception; thanks
Adding skill in PF is very easy. A rogue gets 8+Int ranks per level, so 11 in your case. You can also add another 1 as Favored Class Bonus (rogue), or you can decide to spend the bonus as an additional hit point, your pick.
For skills that you are already trained in (the ones you have rank in) is very easy: add 1 of your 11 ranks to the ones you want to improve (I'd suggest Stealth, Acrobatics, Sleigh of Hands, Disable Device, Escape Artist, and the four Craft you have) Add +1 to all of them.. This mean we spent 9 ranks in improving skills you already know.
Learning a new skill is slightly different. Climb and Perception are class skill for you, so learning them gives you a bonus of +3 to them. This is how you figure out the final bonus:
1 rank + 3 (training) + the appropriate stat modifier.
So, Climb would be 1+3+Str modifier (0) = +4
Perception 1+3+ Wis mod (-1) = +3.
This mean we spent all our 11 ranks. Your choice is if you want to spend another 1 from the favored class bonus or if you want an extra hit point (I'd go for the hit point).
Please remember to copy your stats in Whosi character's page! This way James and us can easily access your stats during the game.

So; if I understand this right; I can add +1 to the skills you mentioned AND get climb and perception as noted and one hit point? or is it add 1 to those skills or get climb and percept? I think the hit point is a good deal too.
will check back ;but will update assuming I got it right the first time.
Do any of my saves or attack bonus change at this level? I am not sure how much like D&D this Pathfinder tracks.
thanks much.

You get the pluses AND the new skills AND the hit point. Remember that you should get 5 more hit points regardless of this extra one due to the 2nd level.
You saves and attack go up to! Add +1 to both base attack and to the Reflex save.To have a general reference of the Pathfinder Rogue class, here's the SRD page for it.
Looks like you come from older D&D editions: I didn't realize that at first. Are you a veteran from AD&D?

Alright, interest check!
I know I threw a curveball at you with the submersible, so let's see what you like, what you don't like and what you'd like to see. Throw me your wishlists and we'll see how many things I can fit into the game.
Just to give you an idea of what comes next: You're going to find the island that the skull spoke of, and being underwater for that journey will become a good thing. Eggs will hatch and we'll probably transition from being ship-based to island based for a time. I'm envisioning a treasure hunt/dungeon crawl with an eventual return to the ship, hopefully after the crew has made some much needed repairs. From there, it's open seas and I'm open to any ideas for what you want to do after the Island. I promise to keep the Lost plot lines to a minimum. Although, an ogre named Hurley would be pretty fun...

nothing the matter on my end, am just trying to be true to my character type and skills; am not a up front warrior type so there hasnt been a lot for me to do yet that is very rogueish; am letting the wrriors shine their warrior stuff and giving support.

I'm really enjoying it, I like the gonzo-goblin things (dinosaurs, cannibals, devil-worshippers, giant fish).
Goblins are super-sneaky, so I wouldn't mind a bit more stealth to be able to enjoy a sneaky party (rather than a single sneak in party).
Honestly, though, Crang is not really a pro-active character, he doesn't have the concentration, so it will be interesting to see where the others want to go. Crang is bound to follow.

Loved the crazy goblin cannibals. I'm good with the sneak side as well, so far my only concern has been running out of spells super fast :P. Just need to pace myself more.
So things I'd like to see
goblin swashbuckling pirate attack on another boat
sewer run for food in city!
getting another pet dinosaur or two
Finding/founding a goblin city <-- Or trying to take over the city from We Be Goblins!
Trying to take over a small town like it's a major accomplishment....
LEVEL 5! ;)
Is everyone still here?
