Alright so right before all this quarantine stuff started happening I was about to join a pathfinder (v1) game. I decided i wanted to play a Swashbuckler. Its been a LONG while since I played pathfinder but I remember really having fun playing a Swashbuckler (even had a Swash/Pally build using spiked shields for a Gesalt game but i digress). I looked up a few guides and tweeked a few things to more fit my play style and my likes....then i noticed something. Carry Weight. All the guides I saw said to dump Strength (except maybe 1) to either a 7 or an 8 depending on point buy. I build my character, put in stats, buy stuff...then i notice it, the light load for someone with 7 Strength....is 23lbs. That is enough to carry my armor and a Rapier. That is it. No carry capacity for my buckler, dagger, a slashing weapon i got. What good is a high dex if your str is so low you cant bring anything with you?

So yes. I desire help fixing my build. Currently I chose the Musetouched Aasimar for the Dex and Cha boost and it's a 20 point buy. I've already said Muleback cords will likely be the fire magic item I invest in...but thats a few levels off as it is. Also I do have an animal that can carry things for me but I cant even carry all my most basic equipment with me currently.

Thank you.

So I posted a while ago about 2 possible builds and I've decided to do an Aaesimar Swashbuckler/Paladin build and wanted some advice.

For starters here are my base stats, some race information, and my preferences.

13, 15, 15, 16, 16, 17 (got lucky what can I say)
Here is the build I'm considering
Str - 13
Dex - 17
Con - 16
Int - 15
Wis - 18 (16+2)
Cha - 20 (16+4)

Why 16+4 you may ask? Spell casting isn't my strong suit. Never been good at playing full on magic classes, I like rogues and combat characters. I decided to give up the Aaesimar spell like ability racial bonus and roll on the d% table and I got an additional +2 charisma (praise be to the celestial who is my characters ancestor).

Fun fact as well spiked shields work with the swashbuckler weapon choices for panache.

As I said before I prefer mostly combat classes and not into any overly magical ones. I liked this build because at level 2 I added +10 to all saves 3 times a day and +5 any other time. But also I felt that the Paladin offered a lot of what the Bard was going to offer me but also gave me a few simpler combat abilities and less magic focused.

It's been a while since I played pathfinder so I would appreciate the feed back and advice. Thanks

So a friend of mine has decided that they want to run a campaign where you start with 2 classes and each level you get a level in each class. I'm thinking about going Swashbuckler/Slayer and I wanted the thoughts of others.

I'm also open to Races though i'm not 100% what races will be allowed or not.

Right now i'm wanting to get a good combo of classes, i like dex based classes over strength and I also like being a scout and face.

Thanks for your help in advance

I am confused by something regarding these. First off yes i know they don't "stack" but that's where the line is blurring. To me (this is my take on this) stacking is if i'm using a katana (18-20) with keen (reduces it to 15-20)and get improved crit would then stack the bonuses and get another 6 points reduction instead of just the normal 3. I'm being told that's wrong though and even if i had keen and improved crit i would still be at 15-20. Can i have some help understanding this?

A friend told me that silver dragons are not good nor evil but will follow a strong leader. I had an idea for a a group of silver dragons to be following a human (by group i mean around 8) all in human form (they have polymorph). My problem is what would make 8 silver dragons follow a human and be fiercely loyal to them?

As the title says i'm trying to make a charisma fighter but its not going very well. I'm still relatively new to Pathfinder and the two classes i've played were a Rogue and a Chaotic Evil Ninja. I rp'd the ninja part so well i got the whole party killed...but the DM said it was just cause i was being faithful to the character. Moving on.

I want help to create a high damage character. I dont mind if he duel wields or uses something like a spear. Giant swords and axes arent really my style. Nothing against them just always been more of a blade or spear guy. Anyways I was hoping to get some ideas and or help on what to make.

Thank you for your time and thoughts.
