Well, my char just died. Won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say that I would appreciate help building my next one for this campaign. We are Level 4, almost into 5. Campaign in the Mana Waste, No Sp or Su working.
Naturally, what has progressed has been lots of role playing and less "roll-playing". This campaign centers in an island location in the Mana Wastes. Most enemies are human, but that tends to differ if we exit the "docks", where we are, and venture into different terrains such as the waters around us, or the forest across the river to another town.
This may help
Don't really need this character to be a superstar(other players told me they hated that I rolled so well).
I am told to be human(rolled), my urban background(also rolled) came up with animal catcher.
My discrepancies between my last character and the other players was somewhat a kin to Dany Devito Vs. Arnold in the movie Twins, except I had none of Arnold's charm. I would prefer it if my new character could shine in ways other than "Hit, With, Stick!",
The other players in this campaign are : Rogue(Knifemaster), Rogue(1 level Gunslinger, 3 Bandit/Smuggler), Gunsligner(Buccaneer Archetype). My last character was a Ranger Skrimisher, not really looking for another ranger right now and no need to step on any toes (Yes, I am aware they both gave up Trapfinding).
I guess I should point out, that the DM is playing a kinda cruel game. We build up money, only to be left without it later. The Gunslingers don't have guns, or ammo, or powder. Which is why they concept of MONK has become appealing to me.
My current concepts are :
1-Martial Artist/Sensai Monk (Stats: 12 15 12 14 20(+1) 15. That's Right. With a possibility of going Battle Herald, most likely 6 LVL Monk than Cav or Sam.
2-Cavalier 1 or 4/"#1" 1 or 4 Levels/Battle Herald
3-Sword Saint Samurai 4 (15 15 12 14 12 17) +2&+1 somewhere.
4-Cavalier (Order Cockatrice). Dazz Display route.
5-Holy Tactician 3/Cavalier 1?
6-Rogue, Skill Guy. (Kinda want skills...)
7-Slayer, Skill Guy Lite, Better in Combat.
PS: Not really crazy about being forced to get or take Sp or Su abilities, but as in the case of the monk above if you want it you take it.
EDIT: Background info. Figured I have this guy as a drifter/stowaway/orphan, who has been taking in by a chruch. Uninterested in the teachings they provided, other than martial, decides to sneak away while performing a simple to adventure and see the world. I guess i'll leave it at that, i'll let the DM look it over and add in when I came here and so forth.
It's a given that I'm going to play him as NE(greedy, closet worshiper of Norgober, but any God and or religion is always worth considering.
-Thanks for the much appreciated advice coming.
