Hi there!
I need some ideas for my character for an upcoming Strange Eons path that i will play.
I literally fell in love with the Vigilante class, specifically with the archetype Masked Maiden (yeah i red somewhere that mechanically isnt the best). Although the archetype points that a character shoud be a (fallen) Gray Maiden my GM gently has granted me the option to think at another faction that i would like. And now im pondering on an ex Red mantis character... may be traumatized for the rough work that she had to do for the sake of her company and unable to realize of her two identities.
So what i want is a good contrast, also mechanically, of the combat styles . From a RP prospective is more simply cause i outlined, atleast in some way, her psyche.
So i thought at an alchemist. Bombs for when she is in her social identinty and melee combat for when she is in her vigilante identity.
Initially i thought to take vigilante as main class and dip some levels in alchemist but im not quite satisfied. Now im thinking to revert that: 1 level in vigilante class (that grants me armor and martial proficiency) and the rest in alchemist. The problem at this point is one: to remain rilevant in melee may be i need the vivisectionist archetype but for that i shoud trade the bombs away. So i would be good for the vigilante identity but may be not so much for her social identity.
To cosplay a red mantis assassin (just cosplay cause in game she would not be really a red mantis) i opted for the half elf race just for the goodies and the exotic weapon proficiency)
I would like to listen your advices and sorry for my english!
I know may be im just asking too much and i will stick with the vivisectionist archetype but i'll try to ask anyway.
Ale
