Ruiner's page

i am going to joining pathfinder society and am looking to make several character for society. Each one for a different purpose or role. this is my first time playing in society so builds would be appreciated. here are some of the ideas.

Tank: sword and board Paladin
Striker: Inquisitor, warpriest or Brawler
Utility: bard or rouge
Spellslinger: Mage (illusion or buff/debuff based)

I am debating on what one to use.

They say you need a certain feat to do a full attack with a crossbow (don't remember what one) would you need that for a repeating crossbow?

Also you can only shoot a heavy crossbow once every other round unless you take rapid reload but you can reset a Repeating crossbow as a free action.

Also can you take rapid reload to reload the magazine to the repeating crossbow? or use the spell abundant ammunition on the magazine?

So is it better to take a regular crossbow and take that feat or use the feat to use a repeating crossbow?

i am not the primary ranged fighter (that's a gunslinger). i am in fact the bard and i have low str that is why i am going with a crossbow, it can do more damage than i could with a bow.

Ok i started a thread earlier about ranged rouges. my decision was not to do one at the end.

Any way the PC we have in the group are
A human barbarian wielding a great sword
A human Magus going two weapon wielder
A gnome Druid going with pet
A ranged class He's thinking of gunslinger or Archer
A monk unknown what race or way hes going
A rouge probably going tengu swords master to assissian so not a trap finder

I was thinking Archelogist bard that primarily ranged to help with our one ranged fighter (unfortunately Druid is going to be healer). I am looking for help in how to build this guy and what if any other classes i should take (Fighter, Ranger, Inquisitor?)
I was thinking of being a gnome. the stats i rolled are 13,13,15,14,15,12.
probably going to use crossbow (Or ma-by repeating crossbow?).

me and some friends will be playing the Rise of the Runelord adventure path and i wish to be the rogue.

other members of the group as far as i know

half-Orc fighter or barbarian
human magus
gnome druid
Monk unknown what race(he was thinking half-orc)
ranger or ranged fighter

due to the fact that we have 3 melee fighters i thought i would be more useful in ranged combat.

I am allowed to play any race including those in the advanced race guide (I was thinking Ratfolk or vishkanyas but am not set on them) . i would also like to keep trap-finding and trap sense.

Any help and or advice would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
