Hello!

I've never played a melee character so I'm trying something new with my next campaign (My DM is story focused more than optimization focused, what happens happens but he's not necessarily out to kill us) and since dragons are a big part of the (homebrew) setting and I've always wanted to play a Dragonrider I decided on the Drakerider Cavalier.

Now I know that they are not popular, and are overall seen as pretty weak. I do know that once I suggested that the drake was an abandoned mutant dragon egg, i.e. the mother left it for dead because it was genetically wrong instead of being a true-bred drake, he changed the drakes stats and seems to be basing his stat and flight progression on something else, but I don't know what and I don't want to ask because story. The changes are basically his stats are higher and I don't have to take the flight-related Drake Powers (I do still have to take mount powers if I want to ride him)

That said, I don't know how to go about building the rider at all. The only thing is that she is an Elven Drakerider Cavalier, so the question is how do you go about making the most of the Drakerider Cavalier?

To make a long story short, my new character has obtained an Intelligent Longsword that's imbued with the soul of her aunt, which was my previous character. The sword was the Aunt's primary weapon before she died, so it's a longsword sized for a medium character.

The Niece that I'm now playing is an 11 year old girl, since the Young Characters rules didn't really make sense given her life up to this point, we're using essentially halfling rules in regards to stats, and she's sized Small. Which means the Longsword is the wrong size category and has to be wielded as a two-handed sword.

She's also Sorceress 3/Fighter 1 for classes. Clearly I'm not going for perfect optimization here.

This longsword is obviously important to her, and I'd like for her to be able to use it, but at level 4 she only has 10 strength, so wielding a two handed sword is less than ideal considering she has a +4 dex bonus.

Does anyone know a way I could go about applying her dex bonus to a two handed weapon?

So I decided I'm going to allow myself 3 starting PFS characters, I have a Halfling Magus, a Dwarf Huntress, and I'm about to finish We Be Goblins and apply that chronicle to my third character.

I have a couple ideas for a Bard, a Monk, and a Cavalier, and I was looking through the Bard information and ran into some confusion. My idea centers around a Bard who primarily dances and wields a bladed scarf, pretty and deadly that sort of thing, but looking through Bardic Performances that doesn't really feel like it would be mechanically feasible since it seems like a lot of them rely on audible components, so since I'm going to make her either Taldan or Varisian, though I haven't decided which yet, it would make since for her to take Oration as well. However it would seem Oration doesn't count as an audible component and doesn't work for countersong?

I'm new at this, I don't have a single character past level 1 that didn't start there, I've played Pathfinder both as Society and in General but not for very long. How mechanically feasible is my idea? Would it be any more or less feasible to multiclass her into Pathfinder Agent when I can?

And one last question just for newb sake, how does one get their first Wayfinder? Isn't every pathfinder supposed to have one or do we have to buy it?

And similarly, while I know that Variant Abilities are not allowed for Society Play, are Alternate Physical Features allowed? Or could one theoretically have an aesthetic trait (Ie feathers, claws, or even wings) so long as they don't make any mechanical difference?

I've been trying to find more information on this but it mostly seems to be conflicting?

So I'm looking to get into Pathfinder Society Online Play, at least until I can move down to Texas and find more in-person tabletop stuff. I've found a game to sign up for and I have a character in mind and all kinds of fun things but I've run into one problem.

Anyone have any tips on building a character sheet? HeroLabs is out of the question, and I've been using RPGCrossing's character sheets for a year now but I don't think those are legal for Society Play? I've poked around but it doesn't look like anyone's made a fillable Pathfinder Society character sheet like Paizo offers for the inventory sheets.

Does anyone have any tips on how to proceed?
