I've decided to make a Magus. Not sure on race yet.
One question about the setting: We're fleeing a world that's been destroyed and we end up in waterworld. Is the world we're fleeing particularly aquatic? Do we know before we leave that we're going to end up somewhere wet? I'm conscious of trying to avoid the problems of "Arctic Barbarian in Taldor" a la the start of Reign of Winter.

I have all of the dreamscarred books. I gave them a lot of kickstarter money awhile back ;) so any of their "Monster Classes" books are fine.

Okay, so just for my own reference, I chose:
STR 15
DEX 9
CON 12
INT 12
WIS 17
CHA 11So I guess I'm not doing the whole alchemist thing. Bummer. I'll work on something and have it up soonish.
Feel free to move the numbers around to fit your concept. I only wanted to 'play as they land' if you get an 'exceptional' stat.

The world you left was flooded, explained soon in prologue that's coming, the new world will be a little wet to start, yes.
However there will be parts that have land masses, etc. So it's not all water based.

While I know the expectation is to go with the set that rolled one of the super stats, the only thing that set is good for is a Kineticist, and even then I would need the Kinetic Knight archetype to really make it viable.
I included the other two sets, but they weren't particularly good, either.
I'd like to use the Kineticist and that archetype if possible, but otherwise, I'm not sure what I can make with this.

Don't have, nor have I used the occult classes, so I will stick to my original allowed classes of core, base, and alternate classes.
Sorry if that tanks your idea. I simply haven't had a game with a Kineticist to determine if they would work in this game. :(

Kineticist wasn't one of my original ideas, I just need to figure out what else to do with a 19 con and a 14 Wis that won't be a hindrance.

Does the bolded part of this quote eliminate races like Aasimar and Tieflings, or does it only apply to races with super high racial points like Drow nobles or svirfneblin?

If you're going off the other races list on http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/other-races/, keep the racial points to a max of 10.

Then I should elaborate. I plan to play a Swashbuckler/Oracle(Waves Mystery). A human blessed by the sea and enjoys life on the ocean. Though he and everyone he knew on their home world had to flee the great devastation, he is secretly excited that the new world is mostly water. He can't wait to hop on the first ship and make for the horizon.

OK.
If you are all still interested, give me a new post saying as much so I can put the names in a hat.
By Monday I will do the drawing, and list the 5 chosen. Feel free to still create a character if you are not picked, forum games tend to need replacements now and then, and I could still squeeze you in perhaps in small doses in the background too.

Rahid's parents were both clerics of the God of Merchants. They blessed both captains and ships, for the right price. Despite their wealth, there was always one thing that they could not buy: a child. Despite their best efforts his mother always failed to conceive. When a slaving ship came by, the captain made his way to the temple. One of the children that he had purchased, a young undine boy, had a birthmark which bared a remarkable resemblance to the holy symbol of Adabar. The slaver, a superstitious man, decided to 'sacrifice' the boy to Adabar by giving him to the temple. An undine slave was a rare prize indeed, and he saw the gift to the god as a sure way to earn divine favor in his enterprise. For his parents, they saw this as divine intervention, an answer to their prayers. They offered the captain their most fervent prayers and blessings in return for the child.
His youth was spent within the temple, learning the ways of Adabar. In this, Rahid found himself to be a natural when it came to channeling the divine power of his chosen god, and the temple made a fair bit of coin by selling out his services as a healer. His life was by all accounts a good one, as he had loving parents, a safe home, and a calling.
Now that he has come of age, Rahid has decided to listen to the wanderlust in his heart, and to leave Lagerton behind. After tearfully bidding his parents farewell, he has signed up aboard a ship as both priest and healer. With the ability to ensure that food does not spoil and being able to mend wounds, he is a useful man to have aboard.
And there we go, my submission! A party healer. A cleric with Wis23, channels positive energy, and has selective channel. Should be able to make sure that the party doesn't go down. In combat, his role is to cast bless, and then use command to disable enemies. Also, as an undine, he has a swim speed and can breathe underwater. Finally, he has AC20 and 11HP, so he makes a surprisingly decent tank.
Also, do we get background skills? I'd like for this cleric to have Profession (Merchant) but with 2 skill points per lvl and Int10, I don't have enough to go around for it.

If you're going off the other races list on http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/other-races/, keep the racial points to a max of 10.
So that would be anything with 10RP or less on This Race list GM Aquatic Elf / Deep One Hybrid / Gillmen / Merfolk the four main sea based races are all under "Unknown RP" but from looking at them, they seem around 10 or less. As you ruling on only 10RP now blocks Aasimar My PC will be a Aquatic Elve Fighter - Spear specialist. Which I think will fit a party and the world setting much better.
Making my PCs final states
STR:16 DEX:14[16] CON:22(4)[20] INT:15[17] WIS:10 CHR: 10
He is young, hence unwise but fit and strong, Mr Lee, is all his says his name is. A survivor of the calamity just trying to get by and make a living and a sell spear.
| Grumbaki |
Supposing both my character and GM_Panic's being chosen...
Undine Cleric (30ft swim speed, aquatic, amphibious) and Aquatic Elf Fighter (30ft swim speed, aquatic, amphibious). I could see some interesting shenanigans that the two could do on a sea based campaign.
Heck, throw in enough characters who are amphibious and the campaign could really go under water. Would certainly be interesting.
| YoricksRequiem |
Here's my pseudodragon familiar. I left a fair amount of it nebulous because I'd like to base it on the actual party and work together on some things, but hopefully there's enough there to get a sense of the character.

CHR: 5That 5 Charisma could be fun, but I couldn't say no to +3s to Strength, Constitution and Intelligence...
Maybe an Alchemist? I'll have a think. Anyone got any suggestions for hopelessly un-charismatic characters?
Goblin Alchemist drink your mutagen and have a charisma of 1
Quite fun to play actually IMO| Umbungo |

I was tempted to play a dwarf to have a charisma of 3, but that seemed frankly ridiculous. I'd like the ability to actually talk without offending everyone in a three mile radius.
My current plan is an armour obsessed magus who pretty much never shows his face (it's almost always covered), and is massively condescending.
| Grumbaki |
But will he have student of philosophy for Int to diplomacy and bluff? Because it's a social trait you can then take cunning liar for int on bluff as it is a regional trait.
Cha5, sure. But now you get Int to all face skills.
And as a magus you will need a third trait for Shocking Grasp shenanigans, so at lvl5 take the Feat extra traits to get it. That's a magic trait, leaving you with a combat, faith or religion trait to pick up. I'd pick up something to make either diplomacy or bluff a class skill.
Between fey thoughts as racial and your last trait you can thus make all face skills class skills.

I'm still interested! I know you said we can adjust our stat lineup if we didn't get a 19+ but I like what I rolled up. With high strength and Cha I will probably go bloodrager/paladin/cavalier or possibly just like a slayer with good face skills. I could be a pretty great cleric too but it looks like there are some already.
Question: if I take one of the aquatic races what kind of aquatic animals could i use as a cavalier mount?

I'm not sure there are suitable Large sized aquatic mounts to snag at level 1, but an Orca will grow over time to accommodate that.

You know what, fighters are really really boring. I basicly have a pc who swims around with a pointy stick.
Having a rethink
Fighters are face value are "boring" its up to the player to create something with flavor, fighters are the one class that I believe, has the most variation in options for building them. They have enough feats to do just about whatever you want, and can come from any walk of life. Fighters are so open ended its amazing. You aren't forced into anything, hell, you can be a lowly peasant with a pitchfork hunting down the bandit that killed his family, or the captain of the guard/army that retired, and now has to pick up his blade once again. Fighters also have combat stamina (maybe) and advanced weapon/armor training which adds flavor the the class mechanics.

CHR: 20 (2)After adjusting for race, this is Kinda average except where it counts, but what is that (2) for?
That 2 was the dice rolled that added +2 to your 18 roll. It was a bonus die, doesn't really do anything other than tell you the 4th dice rolled a 2. :)
