Have you considered posting the source files on GitHub or similar so that others could update them? Many hands make light work and all that.

Looks like the links are no longer active. Does anyone have the update links?

1st) Bard List - so many unique and fun options.
2nd) Druid List - though I have only looked it over never played one.

I think the Bard is pretty easy for a new person(It was my first class). When in doubt sing your heart out.

I started my wife out with a Ranger. It is easy for her to under stand how it is built and played.

Also I saw someone say the unchained monk, i agree that it can also be an easy first class.

Hard ones for me at least are the barbarian(not unchained) and the rogue(to many people think Assassins Creed when they roll one I think).

Just my two coppers worth.

I will start with mine:
3) Halfling
2) Half-Orc
1) Gnome

I have only played a few of the classes so I will rate the top 3 I have played.

3: Gunslinger(Musket Master Archetype) - I almost never miss with this character, the damage output is great, makes me feel like a barbarian with a gun.

2: Archer Bard - Never run out of things to do, lots of skills, a great spell list, buffs and a combat option.

1: Unchained Monk - Not sure why I like this class so much but it is one of my favorites to role play.

I wanna update this I have been playing an Oracle lately which has been great and versatile. I would rank it higher than the gunslinger which has been very lackluster in the last few games I have played.

Thanks guys for your suggestions I will look over them in more detail and see what changes i will make thanks again for your help.

Here is the original document from Basic Fantasy's website.

Dog/Human Hybrid is Caneins

Faun:
I have no idea were to start on this one.

Hello

I am converting my home game from Basic Fantasy to Pathfinder, and unfortunately the not all the players races have a pathfinder equivalent. I looked over the race builder section in the advanced race guide, but everything I have come up with seems to powerful.

The Races I have to convert are:

Turtle-Humanoid: Basic Fantasy + amount to their armor class.
Larger Fairy like creature: Had limited flight and was small
Faun: A faun
Dog/Human Hybrid: Has a strong sense of smell.

Any ideas would be most helpful, since everything I build seems very overpowered compared to the base races.

I like armor expert for most of the characters I build, mostly lessons learned from bad climb and swim checks, but that is just personal preference.

There are some oracle mysteries that let you blast the one that comes to mind is the flame one. A druid might be a decent pick it has a unique and diverse range of spell casting options.

Thank you everyone for the advice it was very help. I have played several sessions of PFS and so far I believe this is my favorite character.

Given your focus on offensive casting, I'd advise something in an offensive spell rather than Bane (which is a mediocre debuff). Cleric options in that regard are limited, but you could still grab Command instead (Command is actually not bad at low levels).

Yeah, Color Spray comes online at 2nd level, but you need something to tide you over until then.

Thanks for the reply I went with Doom instead of Bane, I grabbed a wand of Obscuring Mist as well.
