@ Oterisk: Thanks for the advice, I think I will try and rebuild it with only one level of ranger after all.

@ BigNorseWolf: You are definitely right. If I am only getting level 4 spells, then 14 is fine, and I could get so much more with those points. But I already started a PbP game with him... looks like I'll have to remake.

@Lastoth: It does give flavor. I don't especially want to play a paladin, I already have another Lawful Good character. This one is chaotic neutral.


Any advice you guys could give me on my ranger/dragon disciple for PFS?

Oh yeah, and I am not interested in cross-blooded sorcerer type, I'd prefer to keep things simple.


I was going to post this in the Dragon Disciple guide thread, but that just disappeared, so new thread it is.

The concept of this PFS character is that the green dragon heritage gives him an affinity for the forest and a sort of cold ferocity. Both mechanically and flavour-wise, I am not sure I want to have the constant claws there, but only bring them out when he is feeling really angry or savage.

Here is the build I have imagined so far. I am set on the number of levels for each class, but no necessarily on the order. I currently have one level of ranger

Race: half-elf
Abilities: Str 16, Dex 14, Con 12, Int 10, Wis -8, Cha 16
