I looked at the guide to technomancer and read all the info I could get my hands on. I'm currently 3rd level and I get to do redo (we are using something in game we found, I forget what it's called, but it's at the end of the absolan station module)
we got to roll our stats and I went with being a sniper damaya lashunta scholar, steward officer. we can change ANYTHING about our character the DM said. Just looking for suggestions to anything. I like being able to snipe but the lower level spells aren't that great... I'm thinking if I can change to a sniper/CC type... any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mentizal

You don't need to do anything fancy; the Mystic Theurge gets all the tools it needs to succeed in this niche naturally. Use the Animate Dead and Desecrate spells in combination to turn the corpses of powerful enemies into powerful minions, then use the Command Undead spell to control any undead that go over your limit. There are actually very few ways to get access to all three of these spells (no spell list has all three) and this means the Mystic Theurge has a natural advantage over any single-class character in this niche.

I found this when I did some searching... has some interesting info.

Good thing also, is get extra feats (3 of them) and still debating if I look at Lich, or Vampire (or some other template), or even any archtypes, some are interesting... not to mention the DM has his own God/Goddess and they are limited on the domains, so wasn't sure if it was worth it or not. Like one God I'm looking at being, only has the Evil, Fire, Law and Nobility domain (all of the God/Goddess only have 4 domains)

It's a new group, so I'm not going to try to cheese too much. lol. I don't mind some nice cheddar, but going to stay away from the velveta. ;)

but the GM did say anything from Paizo was fair game, so I don't see why not on the Inner Sea Magic trainings... going to do an undead controlling caster. Now I just have to decide on the best way for that, with the Mystic Theurge. never played an undead controlling type before, plenty of cleric's, druids, etc...

If you're going to look into obscure 3PP sources, you should look into Eclectic Training from the Inner Sea Magic softcover. It's quite old and the rules are hard to find (not on D20PFSRD or AoN) but it greatly eases entry into Mystic Theurge and is 1st party.

unfortunately, no 3PP stuff... trust me, there is a bunch of stuff I'd do it either 3.5 or 3PP stuff could be used. lol.

A Cerebremancer is 3.5, not Pathfinder. I think I'm going to make both PC's (I have HeroLab, can crank out character REALLY fast, lol)... and then maybe even bring both and see which would fit in better.

So either a
Trench Fighter/Cleric
Swashbuckler/Cleric

and a
Wizard/Cleric/MT
Arcanist/Cleric/MT
Wizard/Oracle/MT
Arcanist/Oracle/MT

First guy will be a gun healer, and 2nd guy is going to be a undead controlling guy.
For the 2nd, I read that both the Undead Lord and Undead Master aren't worth it. Thoughts on archtypes or templates for the last guy? Should I blow the 2 levels and be a lich, or vampire?

EDIT:
Also, best races suggestion? I can do any basic or advanced none 3PP race. 30 pt buy.

Why pick? be a Cleric/Wizard/Psion/Mystic Theurge/Cerebromancer!

LOL... sure, and I'll be able to cast like 30-40 1st and 2nd level spells and nothing else. ;)

Thanks everyone for the interesting ideas.

First let me say again... thank you EVERYONE for any and all suggestions, I did look at them and consider everything that was said to me. :)

The reason I was thinking guns was... of course, better chance to hit with them, after all you're going after a touch ac instead of a regular ac as with bows.

what would you suggest for the build Dasrak? Trench Fighter 3/Cleric 9? or a dip into gunslinger for the deeds in case something happens to the gun.

lol. good point Dasrak. I guess I'm just annoyed at myself because I can play someone as evil (and not an NPC) and I can't come up with something instantly like I'd normally do.

EDIT: changed mind. first time going, let's not be too complicated and such. lol

Ok, I'm going to go ranged/divine. Should I do archery or gunsmithing and what divine should I do?
Suggestions.

ugh... to many choices. lol, sometimes my brain goes into overthink mode. too many archtypes, classes, templates, multi-class options. nothing is jumping out in my brain as a PICK ME, PICK ME.

I do like arcane over divine, but since there is no divine, I have to take at least a dip or two so I can help heal people... the DM doesn't care, but my innate sensibilities almost require it for party balance even though I'll probably be evil. lol

Going to stay away from Anti-Paladin.

I was reading this and it made a certain amount of sense..

= basically said to stay away from Undead Lord and Undead Master.

And I'll admit I'm not married to the idea of doing Undead thing, just tossed it out there. The game is tonight also, glad I have HeroLab. lol.

There is a tank, monk, assassin.
30 pt buy
New group

I'm not worried about the cardinal rule of optimizing, thou shall not lose CL's. ;)

I don't know what level the game will stop at, so I'm more interested in fun and toughness then ultimate bad-assing.

Dislike... not a fan of alchemist

I'm interested in any idea... as far as I know

Hi,
I'm looking for ideas to a new PC I'm making for a game. I've played pretty much everything under the sun and such. Looking for something to spark my interest and say oh wow, I want to play THAT! ;)

thanks to everyone in advance.

So, it's anything Pathfinder is allowed. I was thinking of an arcane/divine mix (maybe raising undead?? not sure). It's an anything alignment as well, and any template (just have to pay the CR).

EDIT:

Sorry, starting level is 12.

Thanks once again,
Mentizal

Thanks everyone who commented here, I really appreciate all the input.

Going to be a monk, any paizo product. level 1, 50 points for both stats and racial buy points. (the stats are still point buy).
I know to get the 4 pt attribute bonus, but I'm still tinkering around with the other stuff.
Mentizal

As in what are the best abilities to buy with said points. The DM gives you 20 points to build a race, what abilities are worth their point value and which are a waste of time.

There could be (if someone had a LOT of time on their hands) do some for the classes combined with the best 'built' race (named whatever you want)

Thanks,
Mentizal

Hi,
I've seen the awesome race guide that is already out there... but there is something missing and I was wondering if anyone has done something, or plans to.

A optimization for building your own races (10 pt, 20 pt, Monstrous)

I've done multiple (well over 100 and over the course of a couple of months) and can't find anything.
Any help?
Thanks,
Mentizal
