Testing the waters here, and don't know if it's been done or proposed before or not. Who would be interested in a Dark Souls to Pathfinder Conversion Guide? Who would be interested in brainstorming ideas for such a guide? I've been working on some ideas on my own, but wanted to open up to the community for a more collaborative effort.
Have an idea for a character I want to play, and in my usual style, I like to combine things together. Combine the personalities of Captain America (MCU) and Soldier 76 (Overwatch). What kind of personality traits do you come up with?
So for about 3 years now I've had this idea rolling around in my head that's a Paladin, not because of celestial favor or from will, but because he has a metallic dragon ancestor. a Draco-din if you will. This is a Non-Gestalt build that takes a 2 Level dip into Paladin and then everything else into Magus (Eldritch Scion Archetype) (STRagus) to Level 16, and with the Magical Knack trait to make up for the lost 2 spell levels from taking Paladin. So I spent 3 days coming up with a build for this concept. a Paladin who uses a Keen Long sword (or keen Bastard sword with Effortless Lace) , but because of his Gold Dragon Bloodline, has a prodigy-like control of Fire, and So Favors Fire Magic. Of course though, I have made sure to take the "bread and butter" spells of a Magus like Shocking Grasp, Mirror Image, Displacement, Haste, Vampiric Touch, Stone Skin and Corrosive Consumption, and additionally tried to take at least 1 useful Fire spell at each level. Although he has claws a a Draconic Eldritch Scion, they are more of a perk of the build for if grappled or swallowed, favoring the heavier damage and crit range of a sword is all other circumstances. What I'm looking for is some advice and side by side comparisons on how this build stacks up against other classes ideally. I'm not looking for comparisons for a Combat Monster or completely number-crunched build. I already have 4 characters like that. This is a Roleplay Concept Experiment, losing a touch of power in favor of versatility. Below is a link to the build. But first, and last, A couple of things to keep in mind: This is not a Level 20 / Level 16 character. This is a composite layout of the character, giving rough snapshots on the build at certain levels, so you are able to see where the character generally stands from level to level. Any other questions, thoughts, suggestions, etc, feel free to respond here or comment on the document itself. |
