So, I'm planning to make a Ninja character for PFS so I've been looking around to see if there's an answer on this. I haven't been able to find an official one.

Everything I've heard says that Ninja is, essentially, a Rogue but with way more mechanics swaps than a normal Archetype. So, I'm wondering if a Ninja is allowed to take things like the Extra Rogue Talent Feat or use the Human's Favored Class Bonus of 1/6th of a Rogue Talent per level. In threads that asked similar questions, I noticed that there was mention that the designers said that it was just accidentally overlooked and there was intended to be an 'Extra Ninja Trick' but so far I haven't seen such a feat published.

I'd like to assume that this is all perfectly allowable, but given the stricter rules of PFS, a definitive answer would be appreciated.

Lately I've been thinking about making a geisha-style character for PFS, either a Lotus Geisha archetype or a standard Bard. Combat capability would likely be low, but social skills and knowledge skills would be high. What I'm wondering is, how well suited would such a character be to your usual PFS module? Are there enough situations that allow for more a peaceful resolution of some sort that would make playing the character worthwhile? Or would playing a geisha just be a waste of time?

I'm planning to make a Musket Master character for an upcoming Pathfinder game and I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas for where I can find a good mini, 28mm or within that area, that would work?

After seeing the Captain Andoran character writeup, I was wondering how I might be able to make a character of my own in the same vein. Particularly, how I might be able to create a certain giant green rage monster in Pathfinder.

I don't have every Pathfinder book, so there might be a class escaping me. I assume some levels of Barbarian, given the Rage ability is very fitting to the concept, but I've also been told there is an Alchemist Archetype in one of the Ultimate books (Combat, I think? Could be wrong) that has a whole Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing to it where the mutagens make you stronger but at the cost of intelligence? Seems perfectly fitting.

Of course, that still leaves out plenty of Feats and Traits that I'm probably unaware of that would be perfect.

Any help here would be appreciated.

I'm attempting to make a Gnome Illusionist for a Jade Regent game and I was hoping I could get some help from the much more knowledgeable people here. So far, this is what I've got:

Tani Briarfliff: Female Gnome Wizard (Illusion) 1

Attributes (20 point buy)

STR 8
DEX 10
CON 12
INT 18
WIS 8
CHA 16

(An alternate attribute spread would likely be: STR 8, DEX 14, CON 12, INT 17, WIS 10, and CHA 14)

Taking the 'Eternal Hope' alternate racial trait as it makes more sense for this character (who is very chipper and upbeat and optimistic).

Traits: Trickster, Best Friend (Sandru)

Feats: Effortless Trickery, Scribe Scroll

Opposed Schools: Necromancy & Divination

Arcane Bond: Wand

Known Spells:
1st - Charm Person, Color Spray, Magic Missile, Obscuring Mist, Silent Image, Sleep, Vanish (Probably with Color Spray, Magic Missile, and Vanish prepared).

I'll pick up Spell Focus (Illusion) later obviously, probably Threatening Illusion, and possibly Arcane School Spirit.

I'm not sure what the rest of the party is going to be yet.

So, what do you all think? Good? Horrible? Any advice on how to make improvements?

Maybe I'm just new to the rules, but I'm a little confused by how Rapid Reload is written. If I'm reading it correctly, it works like Weapon Focus where you will buy Rapid Reload (Pistol), but if you want faster reload with a different firearm, then you need to buy Rapid Reload for it as well. So, for example, if you were using a pistol but then decided to start using a Double-Barrel Pistol and wanted to decrease the reload time, you would need to get Rapid Reload (Double-Barrel Pistol). Am I reading it correctly or is there something that I'm missing?
