<p>I finally reach Mt. Pyre, and can now have a full team. Well, theoretically. I'm locked out of Fly if I keep to a 6-mon combat team, and I'll run into problems If I try dumping all the water HMs on azumarill (since their main damage is physical, and all water moves are special). One of those is a later problem, so I can at least add shuppet to the team.</p>
<p>After finishing up the trainers near Fortree, I remember that there was actually something important to other people at the mountain. They got the orbs (maybe I shouldn't have been sidetracked as much), but it's still pretty sad that they managed 21 total damage, and that 7 of that was from rough skin.</p>
<p>Looks like somebody from team Magma left a personal belonging behind. No reason I can't try to return it, though everybody seems annoyed I just walked into their secret base and won't let me return it peaceably. Something about needing to awaken Groudon or something.

<p>1. the current roster includes 9 distinct movesets (and pichu). A total of 7 (one per generation) seemed like a reasonable amount. 1 per generation is going to mean a lot of ones in Smash not seeing use since 6 of those 9 are gen 1.
<br />
2. At least one starter pokemon of the three main types (grass/fire/water). You could choose to switch Swampert and Chesnaught for Sceptile and Greninja if you really want, but their builds are too similar for my taste and Sceptile's aspects of the grass type don't translate that well to PF (slashing damage from leaves and HP draining moves, specifically).
<br />
3. At one legendary or mythical pokemon. Gen 5, though I love it for that reason, doesn't have a lot of iconic nonlegenday mons that would fill the "need to be able to swing a baseball bat" criterion. If you have one that you think might work, you could swap gen 1 to Mewtwo and gen 7 to Incineroar.
<br />
4. Attempt to represent as many types as possible (my submission had 12 of a maximum 14 (2 per mon) out of 18 total. 13 if you count Ampharos-mega as enough for the dragon type). Lucario at least nominally steel-type, adding less than fellow gen 4 fighting-type Gallade (Also, I really dislike it because it is both the least interesting and most overshadowing member of my favourite type, by far)</p>
<p>Another thing you might notice is that the version of Charizard I suggested is not the same version used in Smash. Smash 'zard is slow, sturdy, and relatively-close ranged (it uses the X mega form, which is physical [only due to its ability, in games without them it has equal attack and SpA] but isn't especially sturdy and is known for boosting its speed). I went with the original version which has its best stats in special attack and speed (it more closely aligns with the Y mega, which summons strong enough sunlight to boost fire moves and weaken water moves in addition to having more special attack than unmodified mewtwo) So actually, I don't believe that any of the ones I suggested are in Smash at present. This may have been deliberate.</p>
<p>Re: Ness, the above is exactly why I was worried. Wouldn't be fair to focus on the original source only for my favourites, would it? Anyway, that list seems to map closer to a divine caster, and Warpirest does see some use as the "can make any weapon good" class...</p>
<p>Re: Bayonetta, spellslinger effectively turns any caster with offensive spells into a ranged gun-based magus. I kept going back-and-forth whether to go with the White-haired archetype to make it a weapon or just using the prehensile hair hex as a way to get a free "hand" to reload the guns. Accuracy doesn't matter as much when you're going for touch AC, so I didn't think the lower BAB was an issue. If you want a more focused build, hexcrafter does stack with the magus archetype that shifts the focus to ranged weapons.</p>

The feat or class feature must have some observable effect in order for you to attempt the Knowledge check. For example, you can’t see the internal determination of Iron Will, so this ability can’t identify that feat. In general, if a feat or class feature creates a noticeable effect (such as the extra attack from using Cleave) or has a variable modifier a character must choose to use (such as Arcane Strike, Combat Expertise, or Enlarge Spell), it can be identified. If it creates a static bonus (such as Dodge or Lightning Reflexes), there’s no telltale sign to give it away.</p>

<p>16/14/14/7/13/7</p>
<p>I choose to take the Constructed Pugilist archetype since Martial flexibility isn't great at 3rd, some of the abilities seem useful, and it gives us the option of masterwork.</p>
<p>I'm worried about defence from the lack of magic, so I build for it proactively: the reach modification and one of our 4 feats on Combat Reflexes. We still threaten in melee with our other unarmed strikes. Normally I would go towards trip on a reach build, but we can't trip with our automail until level 6. Instead I choose grapple as our manoeuvre training for the CMD because monsters with Grab are a thing. I'd fill out the remaining slots with Toughness, Weapon Focus (constructed arm), and Iron Will as fairly standard feats. I don't take power attack yet because we have neither an inbuilt accuracy boost nor the extra damage from two-handing.</p>
<p>We first spend 300 gold to masterwork our arm. We take leather lamellar to save 140 gold over a chain shirt, and we still fit within the +3 max dex We have shield proficiency, We spend 26 gp on two daggers that will serve as our backup ranged, silver, cold iron, and slashing options. We do have shield proficiency, so we drop another 7 gold on a heavy wooden shield to bring our AC to 18. 10gp is the acid for the first swarm you run into (consider saving it for Dimunitive swarms. Tiny swarms take full damage from bludgeoning attacks like our fist). I would seriously consider getting a healer's kit for 50 and investing one of your 3 skill ranks per level in Heal if magic is completely unavailable. We have 47 gp left for miscellaneous other gear. Another skill investment should be perception, because it's likewise important. I'd finish with one rank each in climb, swim, and acrobatics since a token investment is useful for them</p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]Edit: I like how I was ninjad'd twice, and it's still piles of niche splatbook content. This is why I love PF.</p>So, I'm going to assume combat-only, because 10 point buy means we only get one thing. I also frontload for level 3, consider retraining if you survive and level up.

<p>If things don't act vaguely realistically in the first place, transcending normal human limitations (for example, by becoming a level 20 Fighter) doesn't mean much, since these limitations never existed in the world in the first place. And it's much harder for newbies to know what their characters can do, if they can't rely on the assumption that things work vaguely like they do in real life. </p>

<p>Skull is holding a ransom, but that puts them on reaction. I can do whatever to prepare before going in.

I have so many questions. Why are there no stairs to the telescope? Why are they too lazy to herd their own bugs? What's the point of unique names if they all look the same? Do the other scientists just not care about you bringing in random pokemon? Haven't you heard of circuit breakers?
