Hey y'all! I'm running a PF teen-magical-girl themed campaign and one of my players uh...wants to play a bee-based character. There's a deity that fits the theme, and all, but I was wondering if there were any bee- or wasp-themed options for the character (companions, spells, archetypes, or feats). Thanks in advance!
Calistria has some wasp-themed options - her divine fighting technique involves poisoning a whip, there's a wasp familiar feat which requires her worship, probably more.
Druids and verminous hunters can choose vermin companions in place of the more usual animal companion, and a giant wasp is an option there.
If you have brew potion the potions you make might be described as varieties of honey perhaps. Or alchemist/investigator infusions likewise.
Cape of wasps is a spell which might be appropriate.
Calistria has a lot of stuff with wasps. Take a look here.
I'd go inspired blade1/Alchemist x
Get Dex to damage with a rapier and then go into alchemist, use the mutagen for a Dex boost, take the wings discovery and grow wasp wings, put poison you brewed on your rapier, I think there is a way to deliver bombs through a gun as well?
Probably worth doing because bombs feel a bit too none precise for a wasp.
EDIT: level 8 you can vomit a swarm of wasps too
Also I think wasp stings are alkali for what it's worth.
Vigilante has the sometimes-maligned 'Magical Girl' Archetype, so perhaps a bee companion for such a character?
lots of wasp stuff - seems that's more popular as options than bees
The player seems to want to play a spellcaster, so the best options r now are looking like alchemist, druid, or witch in terms of wasp spells.
Re:Chromantic Durgon-> I'll check those options out, though the player seems focused more on transformation and summoning.
Re: Wei Ji-> I'm not actually using that at all in the game, since the magical girl transformation (and subsequent gaining of class powers) is a plot device element rather than a class feature.
Other options: I'll check out all the Calistria stuff- and I can probably easily fluff wasps as bees :p. Rapier does seem like the most likely weapon for a 'stinger' though, or maybe just daggers. Any ways to get poison use on a character that's a druid, for example?
Default alchemists get poison use at 2nd, as do toxicologist druids. Urushiol druids become immune to poison at 4th.
