Help me chose a Class / Organization


Advice


Hello. I'm in the process of creating a character and I would like help to chose the most appropriate class and organization for him. I already have a couple options, but I would like to know what you guys think you fit best.

Basically:

Character: No Name yet, Alignement any/neutral

Biologist in the field of animal(creature) anatomy/physionomy.
Drawn into adventure to study uncommon creatures. Writing about his discoveries, possibly selling them.

I think the ranger would fit great. Good relation with animals, knowledge of nature and knowledge in animal anatomy.

Alternatively, similar to the ranger, there's the druid. But I feel the druid lacks the rationnal thinking that I'm looking for.

The rogue would also be good at using his knowledge of anatomy in battle. He can get some of the ranger abilities and it could be interresting to go sapper and study living creatures.

I'm not a big fan of casters, but if you can convince me that a spell caster is the most convenient, I might give it a try.


What about an Alchemist with Preservationist archetype? You can also add Vivisectionist if you'd rather have sneak attack in place of bombs.

Int caster, so can be a VERY rational thinker.


Yes. Vivisectionist is a good one. Very interesting.

I just found the investigator: Alchemist/rogue hybrid.
He has the knowledges I'm looking for. Studied strike to apply his knowledge in combat. Inspiration to boost knowledge check or even writing checks for his researchs.

What about organizations? What organization would be looking for an anatomist? Pathfinder Society? Are they only publishing explorer tales and artefacts or would they be interested in magical creatures biology too?


I don't know very well the organizations, but i'd like to point you to the Kirin Style talent tree :D you receive bonuses thanks to your knowledge about your enemy! I don't know how is it from a power point of view, but it's really nice "fluff"


THERE IT IS!

Investigator Achetype: Monster Chronicler

That's exactly what I was looking for! Some kind of Rogue/Alchemist/Ranger.

Thank you Nymor. I don't think I would have looked into Alchemists since I don't enjoy casters as much as other type of characters.


For an organization, the Green Faith might be interesting.


There are several universities throughout Golarion, any of them could be fluffed as supporting an anatomist/Monster Chronicler; as could the pathfinder society, several governments, etc.
