I am working on building a character who is a young man/late teens (human) who was killed as a child in a border conflict that decimated his village (perhaps Cheliax/Andoran/Isger areas?) and somehow found himself alive again and full of rage and seeking vengeance. He is now looking to avenge the past and restore the area and drive the intruders away. Malcolm is based on a Scottish highland type (not an immortal, simply meaning the terrain and culture of his locale). Campaign will be in that area in a border struggle/wild west/baron reclaiming ancestors lands situation. He will be lightly armored, bastard sword and dagger martial type however I am considering something along the lines of an Oracle (Possessed Oracle w/ haunted curse) or Skald (Dragon Skald) dip with him as those would give him the "supernatural fog" that he could invoke/bring about reminiscent of his homelands valleys, etc. as part of his mystique/personae. The Possessed oracle would give him even more of the vibe that he was dead and is still connected to the past life. The Dragon Skald merely gives him the alter winds, fog cloud, and obscuring mist piece of the background/feel. Any dipping outside the core Fighter (or other martial class) is simply for the haunted/fog/effects, not to give him full casting per se as any spell casting would be used to simulate supernatural effects, connection to the past,ghostly stuff.
Am I pretty much looking at the right place, or are there some other class(es) that you can think off that I should consider?

Thanks much!

Is there a place to see the artwork from the various Paizo/PF1e books? For example, I saw a neat picture on the Villain Codex back cover that would make a great piece of art for adding to the Dyslexic Minotaur character sheet for a PC I'd like to create.

Thanks for any leads!

I was looking at the old OA book and it had charts for honor, ancestry and birthright for characters starting wealth, family wealth, etc. Would be neat to meld that into a characters background creation for some situations. Are there any ideas where I may find something similar (even 3pp)?
Maybe even something that incorporates birth rank (social class)as well?
Thanks folks!

Searched the boards to see if anyone has converted this module to PF1e. All the threads I found seemed to be years old so I tossed out this query to see if anyone since has tackled this or adapted it.

Thanks!

Premise of adventure is the party trying to help a fading country/empire that wishes to open an old trade route between the Western and Eastern areas to restore it's former glory. Orcs and Oni have not only joined to destroy those attempting this, but have also wrangled area slavers and bandits into the fray as the wish to mine the riches in the hills and mountains but also to reactivate a long snuffed dwarven forge to make superior (magical, mithral, etc weapons with which to raid the civilized areas. (They are capturing people to work the numerous precious metal mines in the area)
My idea for an NPC (DM PC) is a young man who lost his family in the raids and is now hellbent on exacting revenge. Not a murder hobo evil doer, but a very angry and driven man on a mission who has occasional outbursts of wading into combat with blind fury and lack of caring of the number of opponents. I imagine he has moments like Mel Gibson did in the movie The Patriot.

Thoughts?

I downloaded a map and now I've lost it. It had rectangular platforms in the trees and a pit for slaves in the ground below. Can't for the life of me find the site I found it on. Does it sound familiar to anyone?
TIA!

...than is in the UE? Even with the errata it's seriously lacking especially with the "newer" books (eastern items, etc.). Is there such a thing or has anyone complied one? My weak google-fu hasn't come up with what I am looking for.
Thanks!

Has anyone combined these two AP's or used pieces of them both for your own "AP"?
Any times and ideas will be welcomed!

Hello all.

I am working on building a half-orc who will start (level 1) with an orc horn bow and eventually add TWF with a combination of wakizashi/kukri/katana,(Eastern Flavor)etc. as the adventure progresses (he levels up).
I am torn between Ranger(yay gravity bow spell!), Slayer,Hunter or Fighter builds to accomplish this. Keeping in mind I am starting at level 1 multiclassing is an option I suppose.

Thanks for any thoughts, ideas and/or pointing me to a guide,etc.
