I'm building a level 20 Oracle that will round out a team of BBEG's the party will have the misfortune of facing off against. These BBEG's will be a recurring group that our party will have to deal with to SAVE THE UNIVERSE...

I would like any suggestions on how to build the most maximized Juju oracle possible. The concept is an oracle who is pretty much the opposite of the Life oracle PC in the group and I figured what would be better than someone who can control hordes and hordes of undead. The build could be completed using any source material from Paizo.

Like I said the character is going to be level 20 no race has been decided yet. I'm thinking of going Dual-cursed Juju oracle with the lich curse of corruption (from PCS: HR) and haunted. my stat rolls (in no particular order) were 15, 17, 13, 13, 11, 18.

That's where I'm at right now any and all advice would be appreciated. Thank you


1 person marked this as a favorite.

One of my favorite classes to play in 3.5e was the dread necromancer. For anyone unfamiliar with that class its a caster who specifically specialized in creating armies of undead, it was a spontaneous caster, and if leveled 1-20 you actually become a lich through the class.

I was wondering what, if any, class in pathfinder may be comparable. The main features I'm looking for are creating armies of undead and spontaneous spellcasting. Any advice or suggestions would be great.

This is the Dread Necromancer from D&D


A new member joined our group last weekend and tried to make multiclass Ranger and Monk character. He is an old school 2e D&D player so we told him that pathfinder heavily penalizes multiclassing so instead he wants to make a homebrew hybrid class like the Brawler or the Hunter but made up of the monk and ranger. I have honestly no idea why he wants this class, how he plans on optimizing this class, or what his end goal is. I just wanted to help him by getting a sort of think tank going where ideas could be bounced back and forth that way the other gm and myself(we take turns gming) can help him build what he wants. Any advice or input is welcome and appreciated feel free to be as broad or narrow as you wish, the only bad suggestions are the ones that say this is a stupid idea and offer no type of help.

Thank you in advance to all who offer useful input.


While I know that chaotic neutral is usually just an excuse to play the typical chaotic stupid character. I also know that the alignment system is very very broken. What I'm wondering is where does a chaotic neutral character land when it comes to killing another sentient humanoid creature.

For example, I am currently playing a chaotic neutral gunslinger in my pathfinder game. He has not respect for authority and constantly bucks at laws especially those in which evil characters can manipulate to punish or keep down innocent town folk all while continuing to be in keeping with the law. He does not kill innocent people for poop's and haha's but whereas the lawful good paladin abstains from killing an evil prisoner who will most likely get loose and inflict more harm or death my character did not have a problem shooting him in the face when no one was looking to prevent greater harm from befalling the town.

As soon as I pulled the trigger two players immediately stopped the game to insist that I be pushed on to the evil alignment which would, in turn, force me to create a new character since we have a no evil character house rule which I'm very opposed to since while yes he killed someone it was for the greater good and he does not commit other serious crimes for his own amusement.

So the question I want to know is actually a two part: one were the actions of my character within keeping with the appropriate alignment and two does that now make my character evil?

My DM has said if I can find sufficient opinion on a site like this or even better someone who may be able to provide an example or some exact text to support my opinion he will allow me to keep my character.
