But I must disagree with the ruling that EH: Sylvan isn't a legal option.
<br />
Just because a power also counts as an arcana, (to my mind) doesn't mean that I need to get the arcana too. I feel that they listed it under "bloodline power" (even though bloodline arcana was higher up on the page) for a reason. Even if it •counts• as an arcana, it is a bloodline power.</p>

I really don't know what to expect.
<br />
I was also thinking of multi-classing, since after level 7 there isn't anything useful from the Gunslinger class that I can see.</p>
<p>Anyway, I've joined this new campaign that we'll be starting in a few weeks wherein we've been told:</p>
<p>A) We'll be going to level 20.
<br />
B) To make a powerful, optimized character in order to survive.
<br />
C) Early firearms will be available.</p>
<p>As a result of this, I decided to make a pistolero gunslinger that fights using two double-barreled pistols. I use said pistols in order to maximize my damage potential per round. I won't have both of those at level 1, but I will between levels 3-5.</p>
<p>I should note at this point that since I will be playing a Tiefling with a tail, and that my GM has ruled that "free hand while reloading" rule can be accommodated with said tail. </p>
<p>Anyways, here's my build.</p>
<p>Tiefling (+2 DEX +2 INT -2 CHA) Pistolero Gunslinger EDIT: 20 point buy</p>
<p>STR 10 (with a MW backpack to aid in carrying stuff)
<br />
DEX 19 (increased to 20 at level 4)
<br />
CON 14 (I'll always be 20 feet or less from the baddies)
<br />
INT 09 (there are skillful people in the party so I don't think that I'll need many, increased at level 12)
<br />
WIS 15 (increased at level 8 to give more Grit/Will save)
<br />
CHA 07 (dump stat as it does nothing for my character type)</p>
<p>Feats
<br />
1) Point-blank shot
<br />
3) Rapid reload OR Two-weapon fighting
<br />
4) The other choice from level 3
<br />
5) Precise shot
<br />
7) Deadly Aim OR Rapid shot (which is better when hitting Touch AC?)
<br />
8) Weapon focus double-barreled pistol OR the other choice from level 5 if relevant.
<br />
9) - 20) ???</p>
<p>I'm not sure which skills to take either, and really any advice at all would be appreciated. I also have read the guides and even they seem to give the idea that multi-classing after level 7 (some even say 5) makes the most sense.</p>
<p>Sorry for the super-long post.</p>I've played a fair bit of PFS but never past level 8 and I've never played a Pathfinder campaign that wasn't PFS, so basically I have very little insight on what makes sense past level 8 and I need all the help that I can get. I really don't know what to expect.

The best tank in the game is (drum roll) a Summoner with a 20 CHA. Gnomes work the best as they increase your CHA and your CON AND they let you talk to animals once a day.

<p>You're likely asking yourself "But why a Summoner?" I'm going to tell you.</p>
<p>At level 3 you'll be able to summon 1d4 (+1 with a feat) Eagles per turn, 8 times a day. On average, you'll only need one set of this per combat and 2 sets during a BBEG fight. There's normally about 3-4 fights per mod thereby leaving you with summons to spare. Now, an Eagle isn't much of a thing, (outside of his 3 attacks doing 1d4 each) but his true glory is that he will never need to be healed. Let the enemy kill/injure you summons, they'll be gone soon anyway, and every attack on them is an attack that effectively "missed" your party. </p>
<p>The GM will often want to attack them too, as they only have have 14 AC and a small amount of health. That and after you get augmented summoning, and have about 3 of them attacking one enemy at once that can potentially lead up to 9d4+18 a round. More if the enemy is evil as then you can get your Eagles to do their form of smite evil. (+1 damage per attack or +9 added to my above total)</p>
<p>You might be asking what you should do with your Eidolon at this point, since he won't be your main for of damage. Give him skill-based evolutions. Never have a rogue in your party?

I also have one last question, if this same mounted gnome wanted to be stealthy for a while (a long while or a little while) does he roll the check or does the mount? Or do both creatures roll the check?Gonn2012-10-26T10:08:25ZRe: Forums: Rules Questions: Gnome mounted charge with a lanceGonnhttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs2p37v?Gnome-mounted-charge-with-a-lance#32012-10-24T18:10:50Z2012-10-24T18:10:50Z<p>Thanks a bunch man!</p>Thanks a bunch man!Gonn2012-10-24T18:10:50ZForums: Rules Questions: Gnome mounted charge with a lanceGonnhttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs2p37v?Gnome-mounted-charge-with-a-lance#12012-10-24T08:07:05Z2012-10-24T08:07:05Z<p>First off, this character is currently level 1 and in PFS.</p>
<p>I recently made a gnome cavalier (emissary archetype) that rides a wolf whilst charging with his lance, and I've run into a few problems/questions that I didn't even consider before building him.</p>
<p>1) Does a small-sized lance still have reach?</p>
<p>2) If it does have reach, do I hit first or does my mount?</p>
<p>3) If it does not have reach, then do I hit first or does my mount?</p>
<p>4) Also, if it does have reach and I have ride-by attack, does my mount ever need to attack at all or can I just charge at reach and keep going?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>First off, this character is currently level 1 and in PFS.

I wasn't sure where else to put it.</p>
<p>At any rate, earlier today I registered a new character (#6) named Alry and I made sure to select his faction as Grand Lodge. I checked everything twice before making him and yet no he's shown up as not only with the Andoran faction, but as if he had two sessions under his belt! Two sessions that actually belonged to another character of mine named Tarick (#5).</p>
<p>I have no idea as per how to fix this issue and any help would be appreciated.</p>Hello, I'd like to start this off by apologizing if this is in the wrong place. I wasn't sure where else to put it.

<p>I have taken some of the advice given here and I have changed my stats to the following:</p>
<p>STR 18
<br />
DEX 14
<br />
CON 14
<br />
INT 9 (to be increased later)
<br />
WIS 7 (I'll be taking the +2 to will saves feat later)
<br />
CHA 14 (I still see the power behind 1d4+2 negative energy per round as a non-action)</p>
<p>My skills will be Intimidate, Perception, Knowledge Nature and Survival.</p>
<p>I figure that should hold me over, and insure that I can pull my weight in combat.</p>
<p>I've also been thinking about taking 3 levels of two-handed fighter for overhand chop, but I'm not sure if it's worth the loss of a rage power.</p>Once again, Thanks a bunch for the input guys! Sorry that it has taken me so long to reply.

<p>I was really excited about the oracle idea, but I'd need 5 levels in it for it to really work and... there's only 12 in PFS, lol. I'd end up in doing more damage with just straight barb that way. (Probably the worst part about PFS)</p>
<p>I must ask why it matters what his INT is though... I wasn't planning on this guy being much more than the big-dumb-guy with a soul kind of barb. His only needed skills are Perception and Intimidate. In terms of wisdom, I'm seeing what you guys are saying. And I've actually tried the 17 STR then +1 at 4th with a paladin... he sucked until 4th.</p>
<p>I never even thought of this Rage-cycling thing before though... is there any way that a human can do it without dropping 5 levels in something? If not, I just might try that halfling idea though.</p>First off, thanks so much for the input guys! :)
