I thought I had an amazing original idea...for a Lawful Neutral Cleric of Asmodeus. So I look on the boards...and it's been done a thousand times. lol. It's too good of a role-play opportunity to waste though.

I'm burning some GM credit to bring him in at Level 2.

Tarkus Ignatius Corbin Argentilla de Macini
Human Cleric of Asmodeus (Evangelist/Fire Domain)

Statistics
Str 12
Dex 12
Con 12
Int 12
Wis 18
Cha 12

Feats: Greater Spell Focus (Enchantment), Spell Focus (Enchantment)
Traits: Domineering (Command), Maestro of the Society

He's hyper-focused on compulsion spells. At 2nd level Command has a DC of 18; Murderous Command is DC 17. Pure caster.

My conundrum is stat allocation- I absolutely need an INT of 12+ for the skill points; I'm pumping skills into Profession: Barrister, and Knowledge skills for role-play purposes. A CHA of 12+ is needed for some of the Evangelist abilities, and face skills (he *is* an attorney).

Beyond that, I can't decide. Dumping CON is suicidal. What few attacks he'll be making will be ranged. And dumping strength just makes inventory management a pain in the ass.

I also had a temptation to be a Dirty Cheese Monkey Optimizer and take a level of cross-blooded Sorcerer (Fey/Serpentine) to pump my DCs up by +2 and allow mind-effecting & language dependent spells to work on animals, magical beasts, and monstrous humanoids...

Meh. I feel like I'm trying to run too many directions at once.

Anyway, some advice would be welcome. :)

Hi everyone,

I'm a new PFS GM- first game is actually coming up shortly. I've been DM'ng my own games for years though, so I'm not inexperienced.

I'm running 04-18: The Veteran's Vault, and have 6 players RSVPd for our session, with a 7th new player (new guy) on the wait-list. Right now I've got two 3rd levels, two 2nd levels, and two 1st levels.

A similar level mix has been blowing through our regular sessions, and I thought about bumping the scenario up to the next Tier, but want to keep it noob friendly for now.

I've asked if any of the 3rds wants to start a new 1st level Alt, if so I'll just run it at the 1-2 Tier. (the best outcome, in my mind)

I was wondering if I should bump the Tier up and open the table to the wait-list player? He'll also be a level 1...so it doesn't seem like a good idea.

Or should I just run the Tier 1-2, and just expect the scenario to be a cake-walk for the group?

OK, I have a question regarding Boon Companion.

In the event that your animal companion/familiar is killed or dismissed, and you get a replacement companion/familiar (per the usual method for your class), does Boon Companion apply to the new companion/familiar?

I feel like you can read Boon Companion one of two ways:

1. Boon Companion applies to a specific animal- the companion/familiar you had when you took the feat. When he/she dies or is dismissed, that's it- you now have a wasted feat.

2. Boon Companion applies to the Animal Companion or Familiar class feature for one specific class; i.e. a dual class Ranger/Wizard can take Boon Companion once for the Ranger's Companion, and then again for the Wizard's Familiar. The feat would then apply to every companion or familiar that the character may have during their adventuring career.

So, which is it? I really hope option two...

Hi all,

I'm not sure what I want to do with my society character- I'm one XP from 2nd level, and need to make up my mind.

Fluff wise, my character was orphaned and raised by an old gnomish druid, but turned out to have a knack for Sorcery. So I'm playing a Human Sorcerer with the Fey/Sylvan Bloodline and a Tiger animal companion. He's focused on utility and buffing spells.

Stats/Feats/Traits
Str 10, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 8, Cha 16
Alternate Racial Trait: Eye for Talent (+2 to one stat for the companion, give up human bonus feat)
Feats: Boon Companion, Eschew Materials
Traits: adopted, animal friend, magical knack (sorc)

I had intended on multi-class to Ranger at 2nd level (above fluff reasons), and was considering the Falconer archetype. Is there a way to take the second (bird) animal companion? Or do I have to give up my Tiger to do so?

The intent is to dip two levels into Ranger for the archery training, then go back to sorcerer- so going straight Ranger may be the better choice?

I'm also considering the Eldritch Knight prestige class.

Advice?

Thank you!
