I've been thinking about this for a while and I'm curious about the experiences of others who have done this. How did you play a character who does not lie? What difficulties did you run into and how did you overcome them? For the sake of the discussion, assume the character can not lie because of an oath (doesn't have to be a paladin) and/or because to do so would stain their honour.
So I've finally had a chance to sit down and take a look at the Medium class and while the class is interesting in concept, I'm not sure how someone would go about playing one. From what I can tell, the class isn't very powerful nor would I expect it to be given it's intended versatility. What concerns me is whether or not it can fulfill those roles. It's possible that I'm being incredibly shortsighted but for some reason, the benefits of each spirit just doesn't seem like enough to fulfill a selected role. How do you guys go about playing a medium? Any answers or suggestions would be helpful specifically: What tactics are useful when playing a medium?
So in my current campaign, our party was investigating an airship with a cleric on board that had apparently cast Remove Curse on the vampire we were hunting (I'm the party witch and in the last fight I cursed him with a 50% chance to do nothing each round). I won't bore you with any other specifics but I ended up searching this cleric's room. I rolled a pretty high perception result and the GM decided to reward me with a few scrolls. A scroll of Remove Curse, a scroll of Breath of Life and well.... for some reason, a scroll of Transfer Pregnancy. Anyway, I decided to pick your brains about what I could do with it. I would imagine that this doesn't have any practical use of course but even as a prank it could be pretty funny. My character's alignment is Neutral Evil by the way so be as creative as you like! As a final note, the scroll is a 3rd level Wizard and Cleric spell with a caster level of five. I also doubt my GM would be opposed to researching it to make it a witch spell for multiple uses in the future....
The time has come for me to build my new character and since I'll most likely be playing this character for a while I would like some advice on the best way to pull this off. I won't bore you with the story reasons for my odd Race/Class combination and while this is combination is already an optimizers wet dream I'm still not sure what the best way to run this character is so any and all input on this is appreciated. The character I'm making is a level 4 Android Occultist (Necroccultist) Mythic Tier 2. Ideally I would like this character to be decent in melee while still being able to capitalize on the fact that Necroccultists get the DC to their necromancy spells and powers increased at later levels. The campaign is 25 point buy. We're also using the standard wealth by level for characters starting off (6000 gp in this case). After character creation however, wealth will most likely sky rocket. I have another character in the same campaign who is also level 4 and has 13,000 worth of gold. The only restrictions on the build is that it must be the Race, class and archetype combination provided and must have the Legendary Item Universal Path ability. Finally there are a few houserules that will likely affect the build: - Unless/Until Paizo releases a mythic path for Psychic Casters, everything that works for Arcane Casters from the Archmage path such as Wild Arcana also functions for Psychic Casters.
Apologies for the wall of text. Any help I could get with this would be appreciated. Feel free to post anything from a full build to general advice! |
