So, a hellknight of the gate would definitely be much more thematic than an inquisitor of Norgober, though both sound fun. No idea how well the prestige class will mesh with your build, probably not all that well? Plus your summoning abilities will be pretty limited if you're not a caster.

In both cases, the campaign assumes that you're with house Thrune for the long hall, whether that's for ideology or purely personal gain, so keep that in mind. Right now I have no idea why your other party members are on board the Thrune express.

If you do take levels of unchained rogue you should take 3 to get dex to damage on your shortsword. Otherwise go straight inquisitor and focus on archery.

Drow and Duergar are really powerful races with innate spells and resistances. For what it's worth. You're a three man band so you probably need the help.

Duergar could be a lot of fun, especially in melee with their innate enlarge but you still need to have a reason they're working for house Thrune.

Finally, it's your campaign and your table, but in my experience stealing from the party is usually really stupid. It can work but when it leads to PvP things just fall apart.

The idea behind the Hellknight is that he would trip people with the whip and the summoned creatures would do the damage, and the only summoned creatures I would summon would be from the Summon Devil and Summon Servent of Law Hellknight ability.My GM also gave me a homebrew artifact that allows me to summon monsters from the Summon Evil Monster list, with the level of monster scaling with my level of course. My GM is a big believe that all PC's should have a boon that gives them a head start and allows them to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

The Drow wants to bring order to Drow kind and wants Cheliax to help him. The bloodrager is just in it for the money because she is a gang boss from the starting town.(These are just guesses)

How do Halflings do in this adventure path? You are right I wanted to choose the Duergar because of how powerful they are and to assist the party, but with the Halfling campaign trait and the Halfling culture toward Norgobor I thought it would be fun to have a Stockholm syndrome halfing of House Thrune. But some people online are saying having a Halfling character is more trouble than it is worth.

The background for the Halfling would be a worshiper of Norgober who murders for House Thrune, serving under them because he knows by serving them he gains more power.

For the Duergar it would that there would be a bunch of "accidents" happening that would benefit my character and the other Duergar get annoyed, and he escapes to the surface and finds Cheliax culture similar to his and they appreciate his ability to murder people quietly. He knows serving House Thrune is in his best interests.

And yeah I know PVP is stupid. I would probably probably backstab her after the final boss.

We are closing in on the end of book 1. My human vigilante (Enforcer archetype) died and because I did not have a back up character on me and that I didn't want to make a new character at the time, the GM said the Arch-Baron rezed me but now I owe him the gold cost for the rez, and interest will accumulate until I pay it off. Once we are done with this book, I as a player will have a choice.

My GM says I can either continue with my vigilante, or I can make a new character. I have a character concept in mind, but I want to choose a character that will have the most relevancy to the story. I was going to make my vigilante an Order of the Gate Hellknight, or I was going to make a halfling inquisitor of Norgober with the vengeance inquisition. He has only read books one and two, and doesn't know exactly how much impact being a hellknight or a halfling will be. So I wanted to see what you guys think!

We only have three players including myself, so we are leveling a little bit faster. The other two characters are

A drow lore oracle with an archetype that lets him choose some wizard spells
A human bloodrager - I do not know the bloodline - Sidenote, I want to kill this character. Not because I hate the player, but the character is a jerk and steals from me. And I fully endorse this. This is an evil campaign afterall. But stealing does have consequences.

My vigilante enforcer was a whip build and I was going to do Order of the Gate Hellknight who summons devils using the Hellknight abilities. The bloodrager is chaotic so I would try and smite her eventually.

The new character I would make would be a Halfling Inquisitor of Norgober, with two levels in Unchained Rogue to get Trapsense and Evasion. He would use a short sword and longbow. I don't know if I would focus more on the short sword or longbow yet. I would use the vengeance ability for "accidents" to happen as much as possible but not in a way to disrupt the campaign. I would also be open to the duergar race for this character.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

When I make a character for Pathfinder or Starfinder society, I normally play that character through all of the scenarios for one whole season. So I have a Pathfinder season 1 character, a season 2 character, etc etc. But I have noticed with the change in how many levels one can play certain scenarios (1-4 tier instead of 1-5 tier) my Starfinder Season 1 character is almost too high of a level to play the rest of the season 1s.

Is their any word on then slow progression will be allowed? I don't see any info on the Starfinder Society Guide and all chronicle sheets I see only have normal progression on them.

I am looking to trade some boons for my final character - my season 10 Magic Warrior Magus. I am willing to trade any of my non-races for another non-race and a race for a race unless someone can convince me the boon would be great for my new character.

I was also thinking of doing a female Lashunta, for the free spells and bonus skills I can put towards perception and piloting.

Another question about my homeworld - can I choose the Sun for SFS? And if I do what language do I choose? I thought Ignan would be appropriate since it says in the book that portals to the elemental plane of fire open a lot and that there is lots of trade with fire elements.

So this is my current build

Ret the Star Shaman
Human Mystic ( Star Shaman)
Ace Pilot
Homeworld: The Burning Mother
Deity: Ibra
Alignment: Neutral

Ability Scores:
Strength - 11
Dexterity - 16
Constitution - 10

Charisma - 10

Skills:
Culture - 4
Medicine - 4
Mysticism - 7
Perception - 7
Piloting - 8
Profession ( Unknown ) - 7
Sense Motive - 7

Feats:
Longarm Profiency
Longarm Focus

Spells:
Level 0 -
Detect Magic
Telekinetic Projectile
Token Spell
Ghost Sound

Level 1 -
Shooting Stars ( Magic Missle)
Mystic Cure
Wisp Alley

But wouldn't having the Ace Pilot theme bonuses help with having a high piloting skill?

I am between Ysoki and Human for the Star Shaman. I agree the Android, while it does have the +2 dex, doesn't have much going for it other than that. I think I will go 16/16 for my stat array and go with Longarm Proficency for my first feat and pick up an Acid Dart Rifle. Spell Focus is only for 3rd level casters so I wouldn't be able to choose that for my extra feat if I choose Human.

I should mention that this is for Starfinder society. And I know it isn't the best type of Mystic but it is the one I want to use for my first character.

I am looking to make an optimized Star Shaman Mystic, as the post title implies. My definiation of optimized is that I utilize the Star Shaman's connections and connection skills to their max, along with the spells. So going off of that, I am thinking I need to be a wisdom/dex character. I am already set on taking the Ace Pilot theme unless anyone has an arguement for something else. I can't figure out what race would be the best though.
