Hello everyone,
So there I was, setting up a character for the Hell's Vengeance adventure path, tinkering on an Infiltrator Inquisitor with the conversion domain. You know: to get an ungodly amount of diplomacy and bluff, while using Charisma as a dump stat. As I was trying to figure out how to roleplay someone with a low charisma, but very high diplomacy, I asked a friend for advice and one of the suggestions he came up, was that the character would have a pet deaf-mute undead halfling child slave, heavily tattooed, follow him around everywhere. With plenty of scars and stiches, so that it was apparent that more than one halfling child died “making” the poor creature.
After blinking in shocked silence for a minute, I started laughing nervously in disbelieve for a while. But then it stuck... and I can't get it out of my head, because of the sheer disturbing, evil brilliance of the idea.
Now, I'm asking you guys for advice how best to build this into my character mechanics. What kind of feats/dips/spells/familiar archetypes/whatever would translate this concept into a fun and effective addition to my character?
What I'm looking for:
Suggestions, advice, constructive criticism and creatively thinking with me to make this work, further suggestions how to synchronize it with an archery or two-handed build.
What I'm not looking for:
Telling me it is not worth it, telling me I shouldn't do it, cramping my style.
What I want to work with:
My original idea was to play as an Aasimar Inquisitor, either archer or two-handed build, I had yet to decide. Now I would love to incorporate this disturbing concept into the character, but if you really have a great idea, I'd be willing to change my class or possibly race to consider it. (for example, I looked into some alchemist archetypes, but I really don't "get" the alchemist class)
