I'm loving the AT idea with the VMC rules and Accomplished Sneak Attacker. AT can get off the ground even earlier now so its a win win.
I was playing a Switch Hitter Ranger in a RotRL campaign alongside a Zen Archer Monk and we typically worked together very well thinning the herds with no toe stepping. If anything, it was more work on the GM because his monsters couldn't get close enough. If they did then the Paladin and Warpriest made short work of them. Long story short, as long as you have a good group dynamic between players then you can make it work until that sweet bow or Bracers of Falcons Aim shows up in the loot.
I had never realized Feeblemind was a compulsion spell. Another amazing spell to add to my future list. So far everything has been awesome suggestions and definitely glad to get insight from others who have experienced this AP.
More excellent advice. I almost wish I went Arcanist over Sorcerer because of the spell known issue but those enchantment DCs get pretty mean even at level 9. I really wanted Dispel Magic by now so will probably switch it out. Also Suggestion sounds effective. Enervation and Magic Jar have been on my "must have" list since I was deciding what kind of caster to play, it's just deciding on when to bring them into play. So far I can say enchantments vs Giants is a blast. We currently have a "friend" we named BiL and he's been just a peach tearing into his former companions via Charm Person and some smooth fast talking.
This redhead Bard has a Magic Cloak enchanted with the Greater Shadow special ability given to him by a millenar Fey woman, and during his journeys he ended up dipping a few lvl's in Monk while training in a foreign country. Seen this one unanswered from back in May, but the answer is Kvothe from the Kingkiller Chronicles =)
Hey all, I am currently playing an Enchantment based Sorcerer (Fey Bloodline) in a RotRL campaign and was hoping to get some spell choice advice because I see TOO many good spells and not enough room to take them all. Currently I have just leveled up to 9 and cannot decide on spells and can rework my spell list around if need be. Currently my list looks like this: 1st- Entangle*, Charm Person, Enlarge Person, Mage Armor, Grease, Magic Missile. 2nd- Hideous Laughter*, Burning Arc, Glitterdust, Mirror Image 3rd- Deep Slumber*, Haste, Hold Person 4th- Poison*, Confusion I still have a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level spell to pick as well though I am leaning towards Blindness/Deafness(2), Fireball(3), Dimension Door(4) but have not settled on those yet. I've looked over many suggestions thus far but when it comes trying to shape my own list as a non-human favored class, you are a bit more limited on what you can choose. I am afraid there will be mind affecting enemies down the road that I cannot control, so I need some alternative options for when that happens.

So I have a Level 8 PC coming in to replace my current character in the party and I rolled a Sorcerer. I will be starting with 33,000 GP and am also going to be the party crafter via Craft Wondrous Item. However I cannot start myself off with crafted gear so what is a Sorcerer to buy to get started on her adventuring career while holding enough gold back to start crafting for herself? Cloak of Resist +1
Idk what else yet until I can craft cheaply. Thanks in advance =)
Quick typo fix for Sanguinary Charisma. "you may count your racial penalty of Charisma as 2 points [lower] for the purpose of calculating your blood scion class features". It was of course fixed in the explanation thank goodness, but it threw me off entirely for a second. Still have only skimmed the surface and haven't delved into the meat of it just yet but so far I am impressed.
We just finished up our next session tonight and addressed the issue. Currently we are going to be without a caster but 3 of us are rolling a backup for the potential case of death and with us at the end of book 2 it is possible. The loss of the arcane for us was both huge and not at the same time because the guy running said caster could not do it and essentially the three of us rolling backups ran his character for him while he stared into space. But utility we had was pretty clutch when used effectively. We are still measuring our options with an NPC but will probably wait to see the conclusion of Book 2 before anything gets set in stone.
Sounds good. We just finished up our next session and 3 of us are all rolling up an Arcane backup and a normal build just in case something happens next session...which is likely but we will see. Sounds good Fruian, I appreciate it and yeah the biggest appeal of Arcanist is his spell prep and execution methods.
Thanks Fruian. As usual your advice is what I wanted to hear. Control caster it is then. Either Conjure Wizard or School Savant Arcanist TBD when I roll him/her up. And this is a home campaign based out of the hotel I work in. Otherwise I would welcome you to play, unless you love in the SW Virginia area.
Posted in Advice Section as well but figured why not =) Okay recently our group ran into a snag with some "people incompatibility" causing one of our group members to leave taking our merry little band down to four and without an arcane caster. Currently our party is a Paladin of Cayden, Warpriest of Torag, Zen Archer and me the Ranger. We had an Arcanist in the group in the hands of someone who should not have ran a caster, but thats neither here nor there, and now we are without certain useful tools. So Im thinking of retiring my Ranger, though I really don't want to, to fix our merry little band but what to play is the question of the hour. Me being the Ranger, was always the switch-hitting scout with a backpack that would make McGuyver proud, and I would like to incorporate that kind of playstyle but cover some more support ground. The two I am considering would either be a Bard or a Reincarnated Druid/Gray Warden but the lack of arcane power bothers me a bit so if I go that route then Wizard or Arcanist that will play as an Admixture Blaster type. I've read the Forge of Combat and every guide over the years and have plenty of builds floating around in my head but mechanically I'm torn on which way to go. So I come to you all in the boards for some friendly advice if any are ready to give it =D

Okay so when it comes to converting One Piece to the Pathfinder world, many know its pretty outrageous and new impossible BUT I think its possible to make some of the characters before the power levels get RIDICULOUS ala Gear 3 Luffy and the like. Ace is a huge fan favorite of the series who's only real schtick is martial arts (Monk/Brawler) and channeling huge amounts of fire out...typically through his fists. However there isnt a sufficient way of scaling up that fire that I can think of without magic and at the cost of losing his martial prowess. So I come to you of the boards to see if others have tried this out yet plus while we are at it we can also discuss other One Piece characters if one so chooses.
Now if only my current Arcanist would learn this. Me the Ranger and my buddy the Warpriest in our own RotRL campaign treat expendables like golden puppy treats of glory and the full caster would rather throw an acid splash or acid jet than cast Enlarge Person or use his items. Well okay he does use a Wand of Magic Missile religiously BUT MM is about to stop being useful soon.
