Hiyo, me again. On the Classic Sword and Shield build, 4th level Skill Feat is Continual Recovery, which requires Expert in Medicine, which the build isn't by 3rd.

-snip- Natural Ambition gives you a class feat, and you can retrain to let it give you a different one. Ah so. Thanka vera mush.
On the Classic Sword and Shield build, 2nd level says to retrain Natural Ambition to Sudden Charge. Can you retrain an Ancestry Feat into a Class Feat? By the book?
This is all great. Like "Tony the Tiger" great. So I'm thinking I'll try a balanced melee/caster Bard, taking Power Attack and Spell Focus (Enchantment) BUT....the key is my legacy magic item:
That way I can have my cake and eat it too. Our GM this year likes cool stuff, so I can probably convince him. You guys like the feats, or should I swap in Arcane Strike? Our group has turned out very melee light. Glad I found this board.
Great options. I may be forced to go with combat power (our group is shaping up to be a little light on melee) but that wouldn't fit my character concept at all! What to do... I'm going with an "electric" Sitar that I call "Golden Hills" as my magic item; we'll see if the GM lets me bonus Inspire Courage. Imagine Billy Gibbons, but shorter. Wearing cheap sungoggles.
Of course, thank you. As I said, I'm a Pathfinder noober. I'm also trying to figure a good name - thought I'd make a mash of various famous burned out/dead rock stars, ala Sebastian Bach, Freddy Mercury, Kurt Cobain, etc. Gnomeo Void? Jimi Gnomerix? Billy Gibbons' favorite guitar is called "Pearly Gates." Maybe a magic electric lute? I'm just spitballin' here.
It's for a weekend adventure with a bunch of old gaming friends; we've just made the jump to Pathfinder for this year's game. I know nearly nothing about Pathfinder, only 3.5. I'll have access to the books tomorrow. The things I can't change: 3rd Level Gnome Bard. The stats (can be slotted wherever): 18, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10. Due to the whimsical nature of our reunion games, I plan on making him a burned-out "rockstar" who's been through the fame and fortune, crashed and burned in a whirlwind of booze, drugs, and willing gnome groupies, and has rehabbed and reformed and is on a new path...to ADVENTURE! All in a sword-n-sorcery setting, of course. Any suggestions welcome and appreciated. P.S. I almost forgot - I get to create a "legacy" magic item that is something handed down through family or perhaps a mentor. It can be of significant power. I was thinking a musical instrument. Thanks for any help you can give me. |
