Hello fellow players, first of all, I want to apologize for my bad English. I hope its good enough to be understood.

Secondly, I started with role playing games at the end of the past year (that means two month ago including this one). So, I may say something wrong or need explanation for some basic things.

And finally getting to the point, after a few month playing on a long-term campaign (We are still on it. I'm finding my rogue very fun and with something to do/say almost always), I've been invited to a campaign that is already started. They are all level 7 at this point (I'm going to start with exactly the same XP than them).

Sadly, I can't decide on what to play. Everything sounds good and fun right now. because of that, I thought on focusing on options that work fine with the actual team... then I've realized that I have no idea what would be a nice add. And here I am, looking for you amazing knowledge again.

The group consist on:

-> Cleric of Erastil, lover of animals. He has a wolf companion/familiar (I'm not sure about the difference). In combat he mainly uses his bow or nasty “AoE” spells.

-> Paladin of Erastil, follower of ¿aldorny? (I have no idea of what/who is/are). In combat he mainly uses a Sword and a Shield; sometimes he "walks" around the enemy to trigger their attacks so the rest of the group can move more freely.

-> Sorcerer, I don't know his bloodline but I guess something that gives him more fire power because he loves fire and burning things. Beyond that, I know he likes to use haste or Expeditious retreat to have extra speed and avoid being attacked but anything else is fire and burn. He reminds me the goblins of the "one-shots" I've played.

-> Ranger of Erastil (so much love for this God, may he be important for the game?). He was not at the meeting where I've talked with the other players to know a bit what was going on in the game so the only thing I can tell about is that he use a bow, always, no matter what.

I do not want no play a Rogue/roguish character since I'm already playing with one (so, avoiding Rogues and Bards and similar classes/playing styles).

In your opinion, what will be a good addition to this team?


Hello fellow players, first of all, I want to apologize for my bad English. I hope its good enough to be understood.

Secondly, I started with role playing games very recently (in pathfinder case, I've just played a short game where all players played as goblins, which where already done). So, I may say something wrong or need explanation for some basic things.

And finally getting to the point, one friend bought one of those long campaigns recently and I've been invited to join. After a long talk, I think I would like to be some kind of sneaky guy. The GM pointed me to: Unchained Rogue + Scout archetype + Outslug Style "Chain". Assuming that my character would fit on the lore of the archetype, I have to take 7 feats to be able to sneak attack even if there is no buddy to flank with. I would need to be around level 13 to get all of them so, I've been looking for other options.

At first look, I've liked the Two-Weapon Feint feat. But I do not know if feinting is easy to do, or what is needed to get in addition to the prerequisites, this feat and the improved version; I've seen some posts complaining about the feint too. Additionally, I've seen a feat called Shatter Defenses. Again, I have no idea of what else would work with this or how hard is to do it. For what I've seen, it's more popular than feinting.

As you can see, all of this is to get a way to do sneak damage, either moving, feinting or intimidating. The GM said to me that being able to sneak attack easily it's important for a rogue. In summary, would somebody explain me the "essentials" of feinting, intimidating or any other good option to make reliable the sneak attack? I would welcome advices on commons strategy and roleplaying tips too but at this point I'm feeling I'm asking too much at once.

In addition, only if you feel in the mod of satisfice my curiosity, witch option do you like the most and, if possible, why?
