Vigilante friendly paths


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion


So Vigilante has quickly become my favorite class, unfortunately it requires a certain type of set up to really work. Hell's Rebels has a lot of the set up, urban setting, a reason to keep a secret identity, and a chance to use both.

Are there any other adventure paths that might be conducive to the double life.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Council of thieves would work. I think kingmaker would be okay too. Perhaps a 'reverse vigilante' in skulls and shackles?


Ok will look into that thanks


I believe they added a Vigilante (as in reclassed an NPC) in Curse of the Crimson Throne, so that one might work with Vigilantes as well.


Oh, and with the upcoming reprint that could be very nice, I'll look into that too, thanks.

Council of Thieves and Hell's Rebels are probably the ones most explicitly suited to the vigilante.

I'm running an Iron Gods campaign right now with a vigilante in it and it's going pretty well...

Curse of the Crimson Throne, Council of Thieves, and Hell's Rebels are the obvious ones.

Also easily workable: Mummy's Mask (Think of it as Zorro vs. The Mummy), Kingmaker (especially for evil vigilantes who want to keep the population cowed through acts of masked terror while publicly decrying those acts), Skulls and Shackles (a fairly lowly social identity, like a common sailor who whispers tales of the Masked Madman)


Hell's Rebels would be great for it, since you're primarily set in the same city throughout.

Though you can play 'em in most, you just gotta avoid the location-specific social talents (which limits you a lot, but there's still options).


I had an idea for a Skulls and Shackles vigilante whose social Identity was a Chelish Noble, and whose vigilante identity was a daring, swashbuckling pirate. It would add some fun layers to the AP. Currently, I have a player in Carrion Crown playing a vigilante whose social ID is as librarian and scribe. His vigilante ID is a Vampire hunting cabalist.

I'm playing one in Hell's Rebels right now. And while useable in most I don't think you can get as much mileage out of the dual identity stuff in many of them.

But thanks for the input.


Hell's Vengeance is also a pretty good fit, surprisingly.

If you're willing to be a villain. :-)


We've only played through book 3 so far, but I have a player leading a double life as a Master Chymist in RotRL... it's a similar-enough situation to what you're describing that I think it would take only minor changes to make it work in that AP as well.
