Actually, not doing the math for -all- of them, but just comparing the blue to the goblin... they're roughly equal. Same amount of 'skilled'. Less from a raw number perspective, cheaper stat buy-in, offset for a static bonus feat, blues don't have to take survival for food(and honestly, at dc10, most others don't, either. So this is just flavor with a cost.), and in exchange take a penalty to deal with nongoblins. I'd totally put Blues between 9 and 11 RP. That's not speaking to any of the others, though.

I present: Makos (Google doc sheet for now, will create a full profile if selected)

Half Orc: Kineticist 7 (Aether) + Witch 6 (Scarred Witch Doctor, Healing Patron); Alchemist 1 (Internal Alchemist, Vivisectionist). Mythic 3 (Archmage)

Makos is an example of what happens when magic fully infuses a mortal. Some spellcasters, such as sorcerers, trace their power to an ancient lineage. Makos has found a direct link to the source of magic, but is unsure of why or how. The magic speaks to him, compels him, and eats away at him, but does not control him. He refuses to let the chaotic nature of magic tear him from his desire to help those in need. His magic shows itself in the form of magical scarification tattoos that cover nearly 100% of his body. (Think Nightcrawler from X-Men mixed with the writing from current marvel movies)

Mechanically he is primarily a telekineticist. He uses his power to mend wounds, throw objects and people, and even launch himself into the air. Combat role is healer/debuffer/ranged nuker. Also, he is a mid-line combatant with high HP and decent AC.

Other things to consider: the Elan's two defensive abilities are strictly not as good as DR except on rare occasions. There is both a cost (offset by high power point classes) and an opportunity cost (eats swift actions). At best, you can soak two attacks in a round with it, and the price is prohibitive in that most classes can psionically heal at a rate of three per point -or better-.

That being said, when you get crit by a scythe, it's your best friend... but the second attack coming in behind that? Good luck. Meanwhile, Dr 5/? will soak 2.5 power points of damage on every attack that isn't an energy attack.

Also. Psychic warrior and magus isn't a very good comparison. Warrior is a half-manifester that -effectively- has a full BAB depending on your path chosen. (Full BAB for feats, and a bonus at third level and every four, based on your attack type. So -1, -1, even, even, -1, -1...) Even crazier, the way it's written makes warrior even stronger for gestalt, because of the way their BAB is derived. They aren't int based, but -do- get more base skills. Same HD. No wil save... but they're wisdom based. Full armor benefits from level one. Finally, there's no concentration check necessary, as manifesting is just part of the action for the psiwarrior. Being able to cast 120+ first level spells a day (or 10 sixth) without including your bonus mod isn't anything to sneeze at, either.

Yeah, I feel like warrior seriously holds its own and -May- be stronger.

Re-applying My PC

Lord Cornelius Zenareen
The Amazing Mind Reading Pseudodragon,

"I know what your thinking madam, the number is 17!, yes yes thank you I will be here all week."

Bit of a show-Dragon, bit com-dragon, Rouge and all round fun loving Rascal

Woo,
How would you feel about, flavor wize, being a familiar.

Cool had one offer already, would be fun, he would of course see your PC as the familiar to him.

Works just fine for marrow :)

Thinks to himself "What kind of bonuses do you get for having a PC as a familiar?

you get one who eats you well stone Cakes and tarts that what. :)

No crusted fancy or cup cake is safe wile Lord Cornelius Zenareen is around.

Well if I were to actually take the obtain familiar feat I'd have a stronger party member (more natural armor, I could use any of my three spells on you at a distance, SR later,that kind of thing
And I'd be on a cupcake free diet enforced by a dragon, so there's that

But we can pretend I am your familiar, well you be mine etc, who would know.

"O look" they would say "There is that blasted mages familiar, lets kill it and teach him a lesson... John err John why are you bleeding from your eyes and ear...AAAAAUUUUUHHHHHHH, MY BRAIN IS MELTING!!!!!!!!!!!!"

heheheh

You know what, for the Ss&Gs If anyone takes improved familiar to grab Cornelius as a familiar I'll give to you

Now would that be a bonus feat or a regular one and would they both have to take it considering they each consider each other the familiar?

OOO so tempting but he dos not have a class that gives a familiar, come on you know you want him as a pet, he's so sweat.

So all firearms are at full price, advanced firearms being very rare.

I have a few questions about the firearm ammunition :
- Can the gunslinger craft his own ammunition following the gunsmithing rules [bullets, blackpowder, pellets at 1/10 of the listed price and alchemical cartridges at 1/2 of the listed price] or does he have to buy the ammo at full retail price.
- Can one make paper cartridges with bullets of different materials like silver, cold iron or adamantine? If so, at what price?

I also have some general questions, which have been asked before, but didn't think they got answered yet :
- HP, how do we do it? Full at lvl 1, Hit Die/2 +1 at every other lvl?
- Is there anymore information other than the story is going to be set in Golarion?

Reposting the question as it may have been overlooked.

Oops, sorry about that.

Then I guess I need to recalculate my HP. Instead of 67 my HP will actually be 91.

Rouges can get familiars.

Classes/Levels Pseudodragon L1 Cryptic L6 Telepath L7 Mythic L3
Not a rouge hehe

I'm a rouge, well I got four levels of it,
Soulknife 3/ageis 3 rouge 4/soulforge 4 mythic defender 3

there ya go, we can be a team :0)

sweet..hp went from 112 to 147...

Could you PM me
characters yet to be if your going to take the feats to make my PC your PCs familiar then we can link up PCS

got a race write up, it's 20 RP of the 21 allowed.

I had an alias for him from another PBP that fell through, so I just update it to my character for this game.

Dotting for Interest

OK, I wanted to build a teleporter who can use Dimension Door at will.

The problem is that while The Race Builder rules allow for it, it would be limited use (max. 3/day). At-will SLAs are only up to 2nd level spells.

There are 2 Ways to get around this; bend the rules to allow high level at-will SLA's, or create a lower level ability that functions similarly (such as the shift power from the Wizards Teleportation school in the APG).

I would be happy with either, though the Shift power seems to involve the least breaking of the rules (we would have to agree on a level equivalent for this power).

Would this be allowed?

Looking forward to selections. Hope I get in. Just checking back in.

You could try the third party class warlock (if gm allows it)
Or
Long step (8 RP)
A fey creature can teleport up to 10 feet per Hit Die as a move action. It may use this ability once every 1d4 rounds.

Long Step sounds cool...I can feel my creative juices flowing, half Human, Half fey; Born of of a union between a First World power and a Human slave and smuggled to Golarion to avoid the inevitable paternal wrath (perhaps arranged by a rival?).

Where can I find that? I can't see it in Race builder section.

look at the arcanist for at will teleportation effects: dimension slide is awesome, and you can build into (of all things) horizon walker to get the ability to dimension door a number of times/day equal to 3+wis mod. with the school savant archetype, you could get the teleportation subschool of wizard. (which in the end results in a lot of teleportation). depending on how saucy you feel, you could throw in shadowdancer as they get the ability to jump through shadows too.

The previous page of recruitment the DM decided that that ability was worth 8RP,

Do you actually have a setting?

Here's one to look at.

https://www.facebook.com/notes/clinton-boomer/marvel-pathfinders-the-age-of -strange/10150245209058509

Empire of M,
Holdings of Emperor Erik Magnus the Red
- sits upon his iron throne, dead but dreaming -

It is said that no blade of steel or gun forged by man can be brought into the throne-room of Magnus, lest it turn against it's wielder, and that none wearing armor can survive against the dead stare of the Red Emperor.

There are quite a few teleporting options available in a game like this, just be sure to get the dimensional agility feat chain

Sure, that's why I want to get the ability, so I can start down the Dimensional Agility Feat chain.

@Vrog Skyweaver, I looked at Dimensional Slide, and if forced I might go back to it, but it is not free, it costs 1 point from the arcane reservoir. While I would have a max of 10 points (and start each day with 6), it would not be the only thing I would want to use my arcane reservoir on, severely limiting my options. The school savant option is a good one though, I might look into that, but I am beginning to warm to long step, so I'll look into that first.

Okay, I've finally figured it:

At-will SLA's are up to 3rd level, not 2nd as I thought. Thankfully, Summoners get Dimension Door as a 3rd level spell...

Added to that, he will be Sorceror (Fey-bloodline)//Swashbuckler with the Trickster Mythic path (Dual pathed into Archmage)

you can also user spells to power your dimensional slide. it's 5' of a move action for you, and unlike dimension door, you can continue doing stuff afterwards.

I'd like to throw my hat in on this, if there's still that option. Thinking of pulling out a luchadore type. I'll work on the numbers sometime in the future, but I think it'd be fun.

Hello, whos got cake?

Wade looks at Cornelius and says in his best "talking to a baby" voice "Oh, does the wittle dwagon want some cake." he then turns to a side and starts to tap the air Hey, does anyone out there have some cake? We have a dragon who wants cake. Who can help me?... Oh you do... no don't get up I'll come get it." He then vanishes only to return a few seconds later holding a full slice of cake. Handing it to Cornelius he changes his tone back to "talking to a baby" "There you go wittle guy, now don't eat it to fast or you might get a wittle tummy ouchy."

Thinks "This ones mind has gone bye bye, But! he has cake. lets humour the simpleton"

In his best little dragon Disney voice he says.

"Why thank you Mr Man sir, your wery kind"
Do's a little skip jump and wags its tail.

Then uses hard hand, detect poison
after that "Chomp" 'Chomp"
the slice lasts about 15 milliseconds.

you can also user spells to power your dimensional slide. it's 5' of a move action for you, and unlike dimension door, you can continue doing stuff afterwards.

That might make it worthwhile to swap. Currently, as I haven't got a quickened version of Dimension Door, I can't do anything much afterwards even with Dimensional Agility.

The main problem is that I was not planning an INT-based Character. The Fey background makes Fey Bloodline Sorceror a no-brainer and that makes a Charisma based character.

I might have another look at Long Step, if it's closer to what I conceptualise, I might adjust my race (drop Spell resistance maybe?). Failing that I will have to rethink the character and origins to an INT based character, perhaps via inspired blade archetype.

The only other way forward would be if I was allowed access to Monster Feats and took Quicken Spell-like ability.

You could use the 8 rp ability that works as a move action
Or you could go adamant entertainment's warlock to snag the swift action wizard teleportation sub school ability at will, though as this class is third party and has not yet been approved you might not be able to use it.
In other news Sean "Marrow" Rushman, is almost done, just need to choose the abilities from ageis, well that and equipment, but I'll leave that till after character selections, Sean doesn't really need much in the way of equipment.

I'm going to have to withdraw, thanks anyway.

@Gavmania: You chose 'flexible' bonus feat, rather than static bonus feat. If you're going for cheese, rather than making a race that others would play, Static gets you any single feat you want, for 2 RP rather than 4.

It's not completely true that it gets you any feat you want.

Static Bonus Feat (2 RP): Prerequisites: None; Benefit: Choose one feat with no prerequisites. All members of this race gain this feat as a bonus feat at 1st level.

So it has to be a feat without prerequisites, so it depends on which feat he was planning on taking with the flexible bonus feat :)

So who would like him as a Familiar

@Gavmania: You chose 'flexible' bonus feat, rather than static bonus feat. If you're going for cheese, rather than making a race that others would play, Static gets you any single feat you want, for 2 RP rather than 4.

I mainly picked it as a nod to his human heritage. I would be using it to pick up Weapn Focus (Scimitar), so I could change it to a static bonus feat, but it does start to smell cheesy.

I'm not making this character for optimisation (I'd probably go Ninja and get the whole Dimensional Agility Feat chain if I were), so if I can avoid cheese and still get what I want, I'll do that.

As I stated in my last post, you can't change it to a static bonus feat as Weapon Focus has prerequisites, which is not allowed for the static bonus feat.
