Got an idea for a Oracle.. But unsure of what Mystery..


Advice


It's me again, Sorry for all these posts about diferent classes but I get ideas, And ponder things, To be prepared when my Cleric eventualy bites the dust (Or, If it keeps going as it has, Goes crazy and runs away.. xD)

I got this idea for a Oracle though.. A Half-Elf Oracle with the Clouded Vision curse, Who pretends to be a fortune teller to trick people out of their money. But I'm not sure what mystery to pick for him, Or what he would use to trick people.. Other then mayhaps Bluff..

The Intrigue mystery seems most appropriate. It's very focused an social trickery - though at the expense of combat skill, so how useful it is depends very much on how many of the campaign's challenges are social in nature.

If the game doesn't involve a lot of Intrigue, try Shadow.


I'm a Fan of the Spirit Guide Archetype. The Mystery choice becomes less important and lets you work around weaker mysteries. Like Weirdo Says Intrigue makes for a good scammer and social butterfly.

For a scammer I really like the Hex: Bad Penny from the Slums Spirit. Greasing palms or gambling with it is tremendous fun. You can even make one on your day off. You can also use the Accident Hex for lots of fun. The main kicker for Spirit Guide is the ability to change Spirits and gain different spells, hex and some Spirit abilities. Taylor it to your needs for the day.

Spirit Guide is not a bad idea. Though keep in mind that it swaps out they mystery class skills for Knowledge skills, so you wouldn't be able to grab Bluff or other sneaky skills from your mystery. You can use traits for that, though, so it's not a dealbreaker.


Thanks! I'l look into the Intrigue and Shadow Mysteries, And the Spirit Guide archetype ^_^

An amusing variation on this would be taking Dual Cursed Oracle with Powerless Prophecy as your second Curse. So you really can tell the future, but no on ever listens, so you just spout platitudes to make them feel better about their fate.


Thats actualy a awesome idea! ^_^
