...when the tank says "I can't wait until I can afford armour."

This happened.

You will be missed, Sean.

I like the ninja better. Now if only we could get a race of humanoid turtles... ;)

I've always wanted to make a sorcerer in PFS with a pet (like an arcane druid) and now that I am, I find that I have no idea what will work as an effective one.

At first I was going to make it a wolf, but at 7th it becomes large and therefore won't always be viable/usable so I was considering other options.

In any event, I want a pet who can deal at least some damage whilst being able to survive. My main guy is going to be a bit of a buffer/battlefield controller so the pet will be my #1 source of damage and as such I am willing to change whatever is needed in order to make my pet better. (I am already taking Boon Companion)

The best thing that I could come us with on my own was the Deinonychus but I can't help but think that there must be better.

Any help will be appreciated, thank you. :)

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.
I was also thinking of multi-classing, since after level 7 there isn't anything useful from the Gunslinger class that I can see.

Anyway, I've joined this new campaign that we'll be starting in a few weeks wherein we've been told:

A) We'll be going to level 20.
B) To make a powerful, optimized character in order to survive.
C) Early firearms will be available.

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.

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.

Anyways, here's my build.

Tiefling (+2 DEX +2 INT -2 CHA) Pistolero Gunslinger EDIT: 20 point buy

STR 10 (with a MW backpack to aid in carrying stuff)
DEX 19 (increased to 20 at level 4)
CON 14 (I'll always be 20 feet or less from the baddies)
INT 09 (there are skillful people in the party so I don't think that I'll need many, increased at level 12)
WIS 15 (increased at level 8 to give more Grit/Will save)
CHA 07 (dump stat as it does nothing for my character type)

Feats
1) Point-blank shot
3) Rapid reload OR Two-weapon fighting
4) The other choice from level 3
5) Precise shot
7) Deadly Aim OR Rapid shot (which is better when hitting Touch AC?)
8) Weapon focus double-barreled pistol OR the other choice from level 5 if relevant.
9) - 20) ???

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.

Sorry for the super-long post.

I was more of a villain than a hero in that game, so I can't help but feel that the hero's have won anyway. "Curses, now I'll have to get a real job!" would've bee my guy's last words.

RIP COH + COV

I've been using one that I got from "A game of thrones" (the book).

"Gods!"

It's simple, direct and to the point.

Summon Monster (any number). Imagine if you will; You're just sitting at home in another plane of existence, minding your own business when suddenly you're thrust into combat on a different plane. Some guy with a pointy hat is telling you to fight and you have to do it. Even if you're just a riding dog, and your opponent is a certified fire-breathing dragon. Or maybe he just wants to see what happens when a trap is set off. Maybe he wants to give the fighter a few practice swings with his sword? He might just even wanna "hug". Who knows? Not you.

Not scary enough you say? You can never truly die from this, meaning that you've basically just disappeared from your home and showed up a min or so later with the stuff of nightmares... and it can happen again and again at ANY time. When you are asleep, spending time with a loved one, in the shower, comforting a friend, at your job etc. Anywhere, anytime. And it might not be from the same summoner.

Try living like that for a while.

My funniest death would have to be with a paladin that I had. The party was fighting a black dragon who, when almost killed, decided that he was going to take off and fly away. Just before he could, I jumped on his back and ended up grabbing his tail.

Long story short I killed him after we'd been flying for about 7-9 turns. When I dealt the final blow he fell to the ground... and I along with him, lol. My party was able to bring me back to life but still.
