How to build Jesus as a pathfinder PC

[ClingClong]

First off, know that I mean no offence to anyone with the christian faith. I consider myself a cultural christian and seek to respect people's perspectives in general. Disclaimer out of the way...

So I'm playing Hell's Rebels and the first book I played a priest class who had sacred tenets. Goodness over justice over punishment over wrath. As the campaign rolled along he became more and more cognizant of the corruption in Kintargo and as such became more and more of violent person. During his punishment phase I started calling him "Punisher Jesus" as a joke and I really liked playing him that way. He would heal with the right hand and smite with the left.

But he was killed at the end of book 1 and I rolled up an inquisitor class build from one of the NPC's that my priest had converted to the faith of Milani. This inquisitor was hell bent on finishing his priest's mission and was all about wrath. He got unlucky and got killed as well.

My DM has offered me the opportunity to resurrect either character at level 5 which would make them the Milanite equivalent of Jesus. The resurrected saviour of Kintargo. I just think it's so cool to have an actual miracle occur in Kintargo. I love how these deaths enrich the story world.

So my question is how do I build level 5 Jesus in Pathfinder? I figure he would be modelled after Aroden who is clearly Golarion's messiah figure.

Priest Class? Is that 3rd party, or are you referring to a specific archetype of Cleric?

Yup 3rd party.

Ah, well... If priest is a 9th level caster, go with it. Focus in on Spellcasting and Social Skills.

Evangelist cleric gives you everything you are looking for.

All three mental stats are important, 10s in STR and DEX would be appropriate.

Aroden was a mythic wizard who ascended to godhood.

Craft carpentry and perform oratory.

Gotta have water walking. Condition removal spells, cure disease, remove curse, create food and water (fishes and loaves). Is there a water to wine spell?

I feel like proficiency in Whips should be in there somewhere...

In Pathfinder terms, Jesus would likely be best known for healing spells, transmutation (water into wine), abjuration (banishing evil), and the occasional Bestow Curse (that fig tree, yo). Your spell selection should, of course, be modeled on how you want them to influence (and perhaps be influenced by) your game world. I'd aim for a good balance of "useful to the party" and "flavorful to your story" in spell selection.

For a true savior type, you may want to focus on Abjuration spells. You may not smite things dead very much, but you can protect anyone from anything - and your enemies will know it. Hell's Rebels should have plenty of outsiders for you to counter. XD The Priest class I know of gets lots of domain spells - maybe use those for your story stuff, and have your "free" spells more generally useful?

Which 3PP Priest are you going with? Kobold Press' or Adamant Entertainment's?

I have a couple ideas on this one.

1. Oracle with the Consumed or Powerless Prophecy curse and the Life mystery(Or, if you want to go ultra new testament, Apocalypse mystery)
2. Angelfire Apostle Cleric
3. Ecclesitheurge Cleric

The Shaman healing hex allows you to cast Cure Light Wounds on an unlimited amount of people so long as the person is only targeted once per 24 hours.
Walking through and healing the masses...

Of course there is.

I was thinking of a summoner with a humanoid-looking Jesus Eidolon to be an Abrahamic God...
