Bring your best Seperatist


Advice


Hi all. Got an old gaming acquaintance who is out of the military and would like to get into Pathfinder, familiar with gameplay and a of D&D player. He asked about archetypes and after a bit came to Seperatist archetype of cleric and be found it interesting. Accordingly I'm making this thread so he could look upon it for some inspiration. His style is one of wanting functional characters or even strong but not min maxed ones. Roleplay is also desirable and this anything that has a lot of material for inspiring g or acting a character is also big. So who has interesting seperatists?

My favorite was one of Zon-Kuthon and Shelyn and second favorite was a Shelyn follower with a Zon aspect.

Clerics are amazing and domains are their biggest differentiating choice. Most tables require a god to be worshiped which limits domain choices. This is where the separatist shines because you can worship the RP god you want while also having that one other domain you want.

Most people scoff at channeling focused clerics but take a look at all the channeling feats from inner sea gods and also the variation channeling in adanced playera guide. In particular fateful channel, beacon of hope, and liberation. These 3 w/ quick channel and selective channel make your movement action channel better than other players whole turns. And then you get a spell. Problem is Raw no gods have Graves good and freedom. But wait your a seperstist. You can worship a god with two of these let's say desna....and then you add death domain and boom your god now qualifies ;)

For domains pick luck and death. Have some fun down the line worshiping a good god while also animating dead using magic she grants you....

The roleplay aspects are fantastic. Be the test run for a gods mid life crisis change in domains/focus. Argue with other priests. Convert npcs in your game to your version of worship for your god. Have a holy war with another faction. Change the nature of your god by having the majority of their followers belief as you do granting them new domains. This cleric cares mostly about wis and cha and buffs the absolute motherland out of the party. Early levels luck domain ability to let your buddies role 2x taking beter. Once you hit 5th level and you can start taking the channeling feats everyone will love you. Also take the luck varient channel to add +x luck bonuses to allies when channeling in exchange for 1/2 the healing.

Doing basically this in a highly modified kingmaker game atm. Being a buffer who the party will literally die to protect is awesome ;)


Back before the SLA-re-faq I had a half-drow separatist cleric of nethys who picked up the trickery domain (from calistria) to hide his nature; this combo would've let me start taking levels in mystic theurge at level 4.
