Thanks for the clarification! I'll direct my DM to this thread. :-)

Hello! I'd like to request some clarification on the social trait "Adopted". It says you may pick a race trait from another class. To be exact, does this refer to a trait listed under "Race Traits", or does it refer to the racial traits inherent to each species, such as the Dwarves' Stonecunning?

EDIT: For added clarification, I read it as the former, whereas my DM deems it is the latter. A quick search didn't turn up anything, so I do hope I'm not being redundant.

Wow. Thanks for all the responses, everyone! I had honestly thought I'd have a severely limited selection, but it looks like there's plenty. I'll try to talk to my DM, but in the interest of good will I'll build a character with what I've got anyhow.

I really do like martial classes, but perhaps I'll get a chance of using them next time. :-) Thankfully there's a few handy guides to spellcasting on these forums, the amount of choice is a bit overwhelming, haha.

Thanks, again. Really appreciate the advice.

I like how you say "take advantage of my stats".

Your stats are horrible.

I like to be positive. :-) A Dwarven Fighter, huh! I'm still worried over a +3 to my to-hit bonus.

Some sort of support character seems the obvious way to go. Bard, Cleric, best of both (Evangelist Cleric), or even a support wizard/sorcerer/witch. In all those cases, get a 16 in your casting stat and if you're a bit careful you'll be fine.

Since we don't have guns (:(), I guess these are the best ways to go to just be supportive. Won't the Evangelist need high Cha to take advantage of her Perform, though?

Hello! I'm quite new to the Pathfinder game, so I've come to you folks for some advice on building a character. My dilemma is as follows:

A bunch of friends and I are keen on starting Pathfinder, and we've located a DM. Two of us are experienced, two of us aren't, and the DM is rather experienced. Now, the DM dislikes point-buy, so while we were discussing the campaign the DM's let us roll dice for our stats. This is all fine, because a little chance is OK.

My stats came up as 14, 12, 11, 10, 10, 10. My buddies' highest scores are 18, 18, and 16. Coming from 4e, where High Stat Reigns Supreme, I am a little worried.

Still, the DM doesn't allow re-roll so I have to roll with what I have. What sort of characters can I build to take advantage of my stats, that will still remain effective alongside the characters my buddies have? I was thinking of using a bard to support, since that keys less off of my ability scores (as I understand it!).
