He Who Hunt's page

Excellent. Really, thanks for all the advice. I'm giving my Shoanti Citizen of Kalabuto and the Reactionary traits.

(this part is fluff) As far as how I will justify these with the back story; he'll be the grandson of a shaman of the Lyrune-Quah (hence Shoanti ethnicity). After a run in with slavers and other unfortunate events his family was decimated and found themselves struggling for survival in the Laughing Jungle of Sargava (hence how he traveled so far). Every immediate family member perished from either slaver attacks or the dangers of the jungle. His grandfather was the last to go but before he succumbed he gave him his grandson his honorific title as to not forget his heritage but was too weak to give him the tattoo. From there the young man will have traveled to the city of Kalabuto and grew up there among the Mwangi and Chelaxians colonist (hence Citizen of Kalabuto). He never truly fit in and became a Ranger hunting and destroying salvers, evil monsters, and everything that threatened the little good and decency left in the hard frontier land of Sargava (hence faction Silver Crusade). His younger years of being constantly in danger hardened and sharped his senses (hence Wild Stalker archetype and the Reactionary trait) and after discovering the Society took his mission abroad for the greater good of all.

Very cool! Thanks a lot, guys!

Cool. So am I correct in assuming that there isn't any restrictions on taking a regional trait when I'm an ethnicity that normally isn't found in the region? If so, then that's awesome!

I've thought about the slave trait thing but haven't pursued to far into it. Question, there's some interesting traits in the Serpent's Skull adventure path. Is there any restrictions on taking those traits in PFS?

Thanks a bunch Zefig!

Howdy, guys!

My group and I are new to Pathfinder Society and have been having fun getting ready for our first convention (Owlcon 2014). In our group we like to role play almost as much as power game with our characters. Over the past month we've been busy working on our characters and have had a lot of fun doing so. However, something has been escaping my grasp and I was hoping you fine people would help me out.

Here's the long and short of it- I want to play a Human (Shoanti) who was taken as a slave, escaped, and grew up in the region of Sargava, the Lost Colony.

Now, hear me out; I don't want to just say it (because that's lame and anybody could do that and it doesn't necessarily make it true); I want the rules and character options that I choose define and vindicate it. Everything from traits to language choices, ect.

How can I, while working within the bounds of PFS rules, make my hopeful character a reality? What kind of options could I pick to make this legit? For the record I don't want anything from my Shoanti heritage other than my blood, my name, my dialect, and my attitude. Maybe later on in my character's career/life I'll burn a feat on the Addition Traits option and take some Shoanti traits to represent my character rediscovering his lost heritage. Who knows?

I know this is a little unorthodox, thanks for all your help.

Howdy guys!

I'm having a hard time finding a useful guide to creating an odd character build. Maybe someone on hear can give me some advice to help fill in the blanks? Here's what I'm looking at-

I've decided to play a hulking barbarian with the Catch Off Guard feat. The guy will not carry a weapon and only use whatever is lying around or on his person. To make things even more fun I've decided that said hulking barbarian will have an odd compulsion and refuse to kill/slay/pulverize with the same object twice.

Now, that's point B. How can I create a character to get from point A to point B using Pathfinder rules (legit rules). What feats, traits, whatever can you recommend to me? Oh and I will be hitting orcs in the face with a bear trap.
