Also play a mounted character. Your medium sized mount can move quick and charging does double damage with a lance. with the right classes and feats you can get X4 damage with a lance while charging on a war hound

Paladins do really well in this campaign and will work great with your part. Iomedae is a huge part so playing a paladin further increases you importance in the game.

Play a paladin of Vengeance, take fey founding, where low are and have an 18 charisma. At higher levels take greater mercy and ultimate mercy.

All you will need is a greatsword and power attack. Take extra LoH a bit and you will be unkillable. Especially after level 4.

Take shield other to absorb damage for the party and after that use Heavy armor. You will get amazing and powerful armors.

With mythic get a legendary sword and be a gaudian. Great damage and protect allies. At higher teir take Dual Path to also be a champion and ramp up damage any more.

Kill, heal, repeat.

there are splat books out there called Grittier and Grittier Rules. They might prove useful for your idea.

I also recommend bumping everyone's skills per level by 2-4. Its no fun to play a fighter in a skills game, trust me.

Beyond that here is my experience:

I played in a very successful year and a half campaign that was designed around a low magic world. No one could have a full caster (rangers and paladins allowed but that's it), and we started off with 50 gp worth of stuff.
There were no magic items and any magic in the party was limited but very powerful. Lay on hands was a true miracle for most of the game.
We were mercenaries so we didn't stay poor but with no magic loot to spend money on we built a headquarters and started a merc company with our earnings. It was meager but grew to be exceptional.

For your campaign I would recommend a lot of the same. The more you limit magic, the more powerful it is by comparison. And if you limit to the partial casters they still have lots of abilities when then don't have what they need to make magic work.

The key is that the players feel rewarded even if it isn't the kinda rewards they are used too. A map to a well is a huge reward if you are dehydrated and a shield is more valuable than gold when you have no where to spend it.

Thanks for all your feedback!

Here is what I am thinking as I go. Based on the above thoughts. I am gonna stay inquisitor until level 5. then dip 1 level in cleric to gain evil (maybe devil?) domain and channel negative energy with the slavery variant. Then I plan to take channel scourge, alignment channel(good) and maybe channel smite/greater channel smite.

Thoughts?

EDIT: I might skip alignment channel and go for greater channel smite quicker

Ok, I have a level 3 inquisitor in the Way of the Wicked campaign and I just got an awesome boon. In lieu of spoilers I will just say I would now like to specialize in murdering Good Outsiders and am looking for advice. There are lots of prestige classes and archetypes for murdering demons left and right, anyone got anything for those of us who hate the light?

Looking for:
Anything that helps me kill angels and makes me resistant to their powers.

Can't use:
Anything for Advanced class guide.

I would like to remain primarily an inquisitor but I am fine with multi classing :D

Allow me to say, this isn't an optimal thing, but I am wondering if it works anyways.

Questions: Can a Duelist use precise strike if wielding a on-handed weapon with two hands (for the strength and half and increased power attack damage)?

Relevant text: A duelist gains the ability to strike precisely with a light or one-handed piercing weapon, adding her duelist level to her damage roll.

When making a precise strike, a duelist cannot attack with a weapon in her other hand or use a shield. A duelist's precise strike only works against living creatures with discernible anatomies. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is also immune to a precise strike, and any item or ability that protects a creature from critical hits also protects a creature from a precise strike.

Here is the specific issues I see with your idea without seeing the actual build:

1, you will take time to get into your abilities. I don't know what you have but at very least you mutagen takes a standard action, most magus arcana take a swift or standard action to use, same with spells and extracts.

2, your +27 at level 6 won't last you a whole day. after 6 rounds their goes your rage (-2) after 10 min there goes your Mutagen (-2) Spells will last a minute or so (-2 or -3 depending spells) Flurry can't be used on Aoos (-1) so then you end of with something like a 19 for most of the day.

3. your defenses will suck. You can't wear armor, your stats are going into strength, your wisdom will be middling at best and you get -2 to ac for raging (-1 for being fatigued after raging).

Here is a build with a more consistent cmb, better ac and no start time.
Human Lore Warden 7
Feats: 10
Weapon Fitness, Combat Expertise, Improved Trip, Combat Reflexes,Imp Unarmed Strike, Two weapon Fighting , Vicious Stomp, Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Greater Trip, Piranna Strike

level 3: CMB 12 (plus aoo on hit) no magic yet
Level 5: CMB 16 (plus Aoo on hit) no magic yet
Level 7: CMB 23 (plus two Aoo on hit) +1 weapon

Not perfect and just a quick thought but strong tripping good skills, decent ac (19 at level 1) and lots of options if trip doesn't work.

I find multiclassing to be the way to fine tune a character Idea. I want a Duelest style character from level 2? Urban Barbarian/unarmed fighter. Do I need a Holy wizard? Wizard/Mystery Cultist. Same basic rules apply all over the place, I only find three exceptions.

1. If I am making a full caster (level 9 spells) I stay in that class or a prestige class that grants at least 9 out of 10 levels of progression.

2. If I am not going for a prestige class I will only dip 1-3 levels, if I am going for a prestige class I will almost always take all 10 because the capstone (which you can get well before level 20) are great and because of personal desire for character consistency.

3. I have found that using more that two classes tend to cause a loss of verisimilitude. The character's fighting style and abilities generally get lost in all of the odd powers that I picked up along the way (like having extracts, spells, rage, flurry, Wis Ac, arcana and weapon training in the list you made).

Edit: Important note. All of these ideas comes from the fact that I believe that classes and ability names don't define a character in any way. The Barbarian/Fighter I mentioned above was a character of Mine that I labels a Duelist. The Wizard/Mystery Cultist called himself a Celestial Mage. I also have plans for a Cleric Inquisitor multiclass that I call a Scion of Erastil.

Fighters can run pretty well with just bonus feats. Specifically the Unbreakable, and Two-Handed Fighter.

Barbarian would hurt without power attack but otherwise the rage powers are more than enough to run without feats.

Rangers don't need any help feat wise. you could easily use the bonus feats and run two handed or two weapon with ease.

Paladins could also go along way without feats. I had one who had power attack and the rest for Eldritch Heritage feats, master Craftsman and crafting feats.

Gunslingers could go all day without feats (maybe rapid reload at most) and still rock.

I wouldn't do the Monk (besides Zen Archer or Maneuver Master), Caviler or inquisitor without feats, they are pretty dependent. Monks get a lot of feats but not the primary ones they need.

Casters are all pretty dependent on feats. But the oracle least so IMHO.

I would still suggest going for Divine interference (great use of swift actions!) or furious focus (huge dpr increase) Assuming you have the gold for a +2 weapon upgrade your weapon to keen.

All of the metamagic abilities are optimized if you are a caster. yes a quicken or persistent rod (or feat) would be nice, but I get the impression that you are a warrior and so they wouldn't come up a lot anyways.

Thomas,

First, Buy a quicken rod, three a day of 1-6 level spells is more than enough for you. the feat won't be worth it.

Second, Divine interference will give you versatility and action economy, in my opinion it is a automatic for most divine casters.

Third if you would prefer to bump you fighting skills instead I would take Furious Focus. Removing the power attack penalty to your first hit is a huge boost.

I wouldn't take any of the three feats you listed, as a general rule of thumb: never take a feat for something you can buy (keen weapon, persistent rod, quicken rod, etc). You probably can't afford all but pick one up (I recommend the persistent rod because persistent holy smite and dismissal is awesome) and take a feat so something you can't otherwise get.

Queen, Alchemist isn't necessarily an expert only class but they have a lot going on so it is important to read through carefully about the class. Their are lots of abilities.

Thoughts on making an alchemist (that doesn't struggle to hit)
1. Play a small race, you get a +1 to hit and AC and bombs aren't effected by size.
2. Focus on dex to hit better. it adds to damage but it will quickly be replaced by the damage dice of your bombs anyways.
3. Use your mutagen! the mutagen increases your AC bumps your attack (dex increase)and lasts a long time.
4. Take Point blank shot and Precise shot as soon as possible. The first give a bonus to hit and damage within 30ft and the second negates the minus four for throwing into melee.
5. For discoveries, at low levels I strongly suggest Precise Bomb, this will let you bomb without hurting your allies. I would also look at element changing discoveries so you can hurt creatures with various immunities. Also Infusion allow you to share your spells (extracts) with others.

The big strength of the alchemist is that you target touch AC. in pathfinder, few creatures ever get up above a 15 touch (even with magic) so by level 10 with a 20 dex (including a mutagen) you can hit almost anyone on a 3. You ad in bombers eye (an extract that increases to hit by 1) and you hit on a 2.

Don't get sucked into a melee fight, you will lose. Run away and bomb if they come near you. Flight is also helpful Here.

As I said, they alchemists have a lot going on but you can keep it simple and play a strong character with lots of options but you have to constantly know what tools you have at your disposal.

Advanced Notes:
Halflings make great alchemists +2 dex is great. a plus 1 luck bonus to saves helps a ton and they have an alternate racial trait that lets them move at 30ft a round just like the big folk.

This discoveries Force Bomb, Concussive Bomb and Blinding Bomb are the best in my opinion. The first to have no/very few creatures with energy resistance, and the last one can blind while doing damage, very debilitating to the enemy.

Don't be afraid to take the Feat Extra Discovery to gain more alchemist discoveries, after precise shot, point blank shot and maybe Iron will, there is not much you need to make bombs awesome.

Your extracts are very important to help both you and your allies. However their are two many for me two post so choose carefully.

Queen, Here is how I counter bad luck. It isn't too terribly difficult.

Get a crazy high attack. That way no matter how bad you roll (they can't all be ones right) you still hit.

With your idea in mind here is how I would recommend doing so:

1. Play a fighter. Out of all the classes they can get the highest to hit.
2. Take Weapon Focus & greater Weapon focus at the first levels they are avalible (level 1 & 8 respectively)
2.1 Also think about taking Iron Will, Lightning reflexes and the improved versions of each. The bonuses and rerolls will help vs bad luck on saves.
3. Take Mounted combat and by a horse, yes it will die but that is ok, horses are cheep to replace.
3.1 Also Being on a mount give +1 to hit (high ground) and if it charges your get +2 to hit.
4. Focus your stats on strength. It gives you the best to hit and the most damage with you weapon.
5. Don't Take power attack until level 5 or higher. Between all the bonuses to hit and the BAB your hit will eventually rock even with power attack but its not important at low levels anyways.
6 (AND MAYBE MOST IMPORTANT) Make friends with all magic users. Every single one processes something that will improve your numbers, either saves, attacks, damage, skills or all.

I have some thoughts on the alchemist too but it is more complex

What book is this from? I can't find it anywhere.

Descriptions are wonderful, great race concept but I think the race itself is to strong. Here are a few notes to consider.

Wisdom is the best mental stat, Perception, will saves, sense motive, spell casting for up to 3 classes, monk ac, ect. It as big boost to the race. I would also point out that savage and wise don't make a lot of sense to me, I would suggest Charisma, they have to have strong personalities to be at the side of animals all the time.

A constant spell like ability is very powerful and non existent to any race (that I know of). Especially true since it is a 3rd level spell. I would consider giving them a handful of low level nature spells each once per day (as the gnome).

You basically gave the entire race a 2nd level druid ability. This again seems overly powerful. The dwarves have an alternate racial trait that allows them to 5 foot step in all stony terrain. You might use that as an example for how powerful to make this ability.

Great job. I look forward to seeing the things that you have listed but not written.

I have to agree with Andreas on this one. Making an attack role is not the same as making an attack. Just because grapple uses an attack role doesn't mean you can fight defensively with it.

Further more I believe the action types exclude being able to do so. Making a grapple attempt is a standard action (a specific type of action) and fighting defensively is a standard action. Just like other actions that don't overlap I believe you cannot use the two actions together.

I definitely wouldn't force anything. Maybe try offering some aid to the players. If they want it great! If not maybe try taking more levels of oracle and using the first round every first to buff the party.

May I make a recommendation that your didn't ask for? You obviously have some system mastery, as seen by noting the strange directions and such of the other characters. So why help them step up rather than tone yourself back.

I have had similar issues before and this is my strategy:
First identify what the player is trying to accomplish, everyone has some idea of what their character is like, how they fight, and why, etc. So ask the players (in character or out) about the characters and identify what they are going for.

Second dispel any misconceptions the players may have (maybe the paladin thinks one handed weapons shouldn't be used two handed and such)

third, locate feats, spells, classes, prestige classes and the like that help them fulfill their goals. Suggest it to them over the course of weeks so they don't feel like your are rewriting their guy.

Finally (and one of the most important) offer to make them a chart. This chart will contain their attack and damage with most of their regular options including smite, inspire and any spells they regularly have on them (bless or prayer for instance). help them remake it every level so that they always have their number up to date and in front of them.

A little guidance can go a long way. It also means you don't need to tune back your character and can enjoy him.

Side note, you are an archer. 4 out of 5 battles you will do the most damage in the party. This is the way of archers in pathfinder. If you are worried about this getting worse at higher levels (and you should be) then stay away from Seeking enchantments, clustered shots and improved precise shots. If you don't take those the GM can reduce your effectiveness without removing you from battle. Consider taking liming enhancement on your bow when you can. Great party aid.

Great Idea for the GMNPC! My biggest worry about placing a player in that role is making them the "Bad Guy" even if they choose to change it could destroy party relations which leads to problems in my experience. But still I could see using him to ad suspicion early game and allowing the player to find out he was the evil...

And yes I am seriously considering using gestalt rules. It is even better because I am creating the characters for this game. However I have never used gestalt or even seen it used. I am not sure how to adjust the power level for a game like that.

Is anyone willing to help me write out the 10 heroes of the alliance? I am going to put one up this week to get critiqued.

What I am looking for:
Strong background details: for flashbacks and such to fill in the characters to the players as we go.
Personality details: such as what alignment they are, what their beliefs are and general behavioral bits
Combat style: How do they fight, sword in board? Conjuration magic? Stealth and subterfuge?
Class: with any archetypes and important selections. doesn't need to be detailed to the level. Just something like "Seeker Arcane Bloodline Sorcerer" or " Guide Ranger with Archer feats"
Single class please!

Thanks everyone. This is starting to really come together.

Does she want to use this in combat? If it was me, I would want a cool item that I could use in situations that I am not already doing something. using a flute to remove someone from combat instead of just beating them silly and stunning them too seems like an item I would never use.

Maybe the flute works in other situations that a monk traditionally isn't as useful:

Example:
Flute of Harmony:
Caster Level 7, Spells: Honeyed Tongue, Creator must be Bard
This simple wooden flute puts the mind at ease.
Anyone who plays this flute can use Perform (wind) to preform diplomacy and handle animal checks, as the Bard's Versatile Performance Ability.

or

Flute of the Peace
Caster Level: 13, Spells: Hymn of Peace
This majestic golden flute is often used at summits of hostile nations to ensure peace during talks.
Once per day the bearing may play this flute, making a DC 25 Perform Wind check every round to keep the effect going. All creatures within 40ft that can hear the peaceful tunes must make a will save (DC 25) in order to take a hostile or destructive action or cast spells. Other actions are unaffected by this tune.

I love custom worlds but rarely if ever create my own. This is largely because I am obsessed with the details of a world and every time I try to create my own I end up going nuts trying to get every little thing written down. I have 2 half made worlds at this point and have never used either.

My obsession with details does extend to created worlds though. I have spent years fuming that Paizo hasn't properly written about how magic works and where it comes from in Galorion.

So I am considering having the Bad Guy amongst them be a NPC but I am worried that it will give it away. I am also considering making this a Gish game where I will grant the players the powers of the other now dead heroes as the game progresses.

Thoughts?

Yes I know, I am stealing him and rewriting Galorian's history for my own nefarious purposes! HAHAHAHAHAH!

besides that what do you think?

Thanks guys! Some great ideas! This is why I go to the boards.

Updated/Refined Idea:

Vraxis, Worshiper of Rovagug was intent on unleashing The FireBleeder, Spawn of Rovagug from his prison deep inside Droskar's Crag. This can only be accomplished once every 100 years when the Crag is in its violent phase and the cage is at its weakest. His minions, hundreds of cultists, thousands of aberrations and tens of thousands of goblins, orcs, gnolls and other bestial humanoids, flooded over the land under his directions.
The Nations, united against this threat could not push back the ever growing waves the destruction and sent their strongest heroes from each land to put an end to Vraxis and his plans. This group of ten came to be known as the Alliance and were given the most powerful artifacts and weapons to win this fight.

After many weeks of pushing through the hordes, on the day of the release of the FireBleeder, The heroes faced Vraxis and the Beast upon the edge of the boiling lava lake that was Droskar's Crag. There, of the heroes died while fighting and in a last effort, the remaining heroes sealed themselves, the FireBleeder and Vraxis in side the Firebleeders cage. None were seen again.

Meanwhile, the nations of the inner sea, with no Great heroes left fell largely to the hoards. Eventually only a few strongholds of the humanoid races were left, and most others were enslaved.

99 years later somewhere deep within Droskar's Crag, four people from different nations awake, with no memories except the horrible visage of a massive creature of Fire. Is they find their way out they will encounter powerful items that reveal to them pieces and parts of the past, both theirs, and those of the fallen heroes.

Above, the followers of Rovagug the largest church in the innersea, once again prepare to unleash the FireBleeder upon the world and Harold in the destroyer.

Will Vraxis be found out? Will he remember his ambitions and join in the destruction of the world or will the memories and trials that these four go through unite them against the hoards with the power of the Alliance?

What do you all think?

Ok, so for items I have thought of this:

Each character will get a legendary item (like the old 3.5 weapons of legacy book) that will evolve with them. I will also include 4 other items in the game that will grant them additional memories of their pasts. So 5 items in total each.

What classes should I use? My initial thought were the common 4 but it seems to leave a power gap between classes. What four classes would you suggest?

The Evil from Droskar's Crag is going to be a fire creature from the depths of the earth... it needs to be intelligent, powerful long lived and ruthless. Thoughts? creatures with class levels are fine.

Said Evil will have 4 generals, each having trophies from the four fallen heroes. The heroes will have to track down each of these generals and defeat them to regain their formal glory.

Edit: I feel its worth noting that I am open to any and all material (except for the PCs, I don't want to confuse them with powers they don't know).

during the first weeks they will be level 0 to 5. Everytime they discover another piece of their past they will gain 3-4 levels and the Great Evil should be CR 20+.

Fire creatures, awesome idea.

thanks for the great idea. Anyone else?

Also I am looking for specific artifact level objects to give each of them. Like maybe the wizard would have a staff of the archmage or something like that. Any ideas on objects and classes?

Hi, in a few weeks one of my players is leaving for 3 weeks, leaving us without any games to play. In the interim I have decided to try to right a interesting and unique 3 week adventure that requires no prep for the players. I came up with an Idea and was hoping for some help to flush it out.

I hope to have this be a game that we play when ever a player can't make it to the regular game. but I need help flushing out the details... who/what is this evil, what classes are the players, what items should they have, etc.

any help, comments, ideas, criticisms are welcome :D

if you end of with the extra feats you can take kirin style instead of Focused shot. Adds times 2 int to damage as a swift action. if you get your int to 20 you can do a bomb at +15 damage plus arrow, bomb and magic bonuses. it stackes up ferociously. Take alot of feats though.

I really don't know anything about illusion so I don't have much else to offer.
But I do like the concept. good luck with it.

Ok, A few thoughts...

First, for feats take the ELdritch heritage Arcane to gain extra spells and better use of metamagic spells.

For Metamagic: Dazing, persistent and focused are all amazing for a control based caster.

For Spells, Conjuration, enchantment and illusion are the go to for control. Some of my favorites are Create Pit (and all the upgrades), Aquarius Orb, and Wandering Star Motes. I don't like fog spells because they hinder your allies.

For Buffs, Heroism, enlarge person, haste, versatile weapon, Protection for evil, and bulls strength. Mass versions of these spell are great too.

As to the bloodline... it honestly sucks for your concept. It has no powers that work with your concept except for the level 20 power. I would recommend the destined, maestro or infernal bloodlines. Or just take the arcane bloodline it is amazing.

The only one who can keep up with the bonuses is the Sohei monk. But he will be taking from other parts of his character where as the wizard will still have all the spells.

The reason I don't believe that a ranger/paladin/caviler would be a good fit for a Scion of Erastil:

According to inner sea gods, "Erastil eschews crusades and brazen heroism. He has no plans to eradicate chaos and evil from the world, he simply whats people to be able to live their lives in peace...He enjoys hunting for sustenance but not for sport...he is not one to spout philosophy, and instead gives practical hands of teaching...Most of his priests are clerics, but a small minority are druids, rangers and (most rare) Paladins."

So I want to capture this spirit. Someone who does not strike out to slay evil but stands to protect his home and area. Paladin's (and to some extent inquisitors) hunt evil primarily while cavalirs are knights of a cause, and rangers are wondering hunters.

These are all just my opinions obviously.

Yes, which is why I went away from the Druid. That leaves Cleric, Oracle and Inquisitor of currently published material.

Thanks Slacker. Yeah I need to move feats around.

I meant to take of the archetype. was going to take racial heritage but decided against it. Not being able to choose mount at first level was unattractive.

And I misread the ability, thought all subdomains were allowed. updated that to just be community and Animal (fur)

Ok, here are my builds representing as many aspects of Erastil and The Grim White Stag as possible. They each meet the ideas in their own way.

1.
Agathian Blooded Aasimar Scion of humanity
Community Guardian Oracle of Nature (Wolfscared Face Curse
Feats:

1. Point Blank Shot
3. Precise Shot
5. Rapid Shot
7. Deadly Aim
9. Many Shot
11. Improve Precise Shot
13. Clustered Shot
15. Snap Shot
17. Improved Snap Shot
19. Greater Snap Shot

Revelations:
1. Mount
3. Spirit of Nature
7. Transcendental Bond
11. Undo Artifice
15. Natrual Divinations
19. Life Leech

All favored class bonuses would go into mount revelation.

Pros: Very strong mount, full caster level, Great archery skills, lots of healing and other spells, good skills.
Cons: requires GM permission to get Stag (not PFS legal). Unknown limitations to mount beyond level 13.

2.
Human
Devout Pilgrim Cleric of Erastil (Fur and Family Subdomains)19 Mammoth Rider 1 (taken at level 10)
Feats:
1. Racial Heratige (Aasimar)
1. Point Blank Shot
3. Precise Shot
5. Boon Companion
7. Rapid Shot
9. Celestial Servant
11. Deadly Aim
13. Many shot
15. Improved Precise shot
17. Clustered Shot
19. Snap Shot

Pros: Huge Celestial Stag, as close a possible to Grim, Wide spell list, Channel Energy for Healing and Community focused powers.
Cons: less and poorer Skills, -1 caster level, slow archery build up.

I personally like number 2 more because I think it shows off more than just erastils combat prowess but what does everyone think?

animal ally wont work. It doesn't allow for a stag like companion. Thanks though.

My biggest problem with druid is that I don't want to beast shape. so it seems like a lot of wasted power. but i can't find any archetype that gives it up.

So it looks like my best bet is Inquisitor and Cleric, either with the animal domain and boon companion as well as Celestion Companion. does anyone no of any prestige classes or feats that boost animal companions further?

ok, here is a thought that occurred to me.

Halfling Oracle of Nature with the Community Gaurdian Archetype.
I would have to talk my GM to letting a stag be a mount... but other than that what does everyone think?

Edit: maybe with the wolfscared face curse (skin it as the Stag Face)

Edit 2: could also be done with an Aasimar with the Scion of humanity trait and the Racial Heritage feat?

Sit down and write a story. start at birth and keep going. eventually you will know who the character is then you can decided what the character is.

outside of the celestial familiar feat, can anyone think of anyways to boost my companion?

Thanks for the advice everyone. A few thoughts and replys:

@Deadman:
I love the inquisitor but I think it isn't the best idea for this build. The skills are right but the flavor is wrong. I am thinking more of a traveling preist that will fight when needed then a warrior with a few heal spells. The solo stuff just is so anti Erastil.

@Rogar:
The druid is solid. any thoughts on a archetype or build? Its not for PFS but my groups don't do homebrew... or third party.

@Leo:
Those are both great. I will add them to my list of possibilities (the Megaloceros is perfect!)

@ydobon: I checked out the hunter and it really is perfect but until the book comes out, none of my GMs will let me touch it... :-(

So I am trying to maximize flavor for this build, power is not as important, I want to make it as true to the idea as possible.
I came up with this concept about 6 months ago but after reading the Gods and Faiths book, my desire to play this guy is renewed.

The Idea:
The general concept is that this guy it a hardcore follower of Eristal, not just his teachings but everything about him. He emulates him in everyway possible. Traveling to small communities to aid them, slaying monsters to keep the peace and even to have a Grim White stag of his own.

Here are the things this character needs to have:
Good bow stills
Healing Magics
A Stag animal companion (or similar creature if you have an idea)
Skills including Heal, survival, Knowledge nature, knowledge religion and diplomacy

I would also like to make the Stag as strong and awesome as possible. I am willing to spend most of my feats and abilities to accomplish it.

My initial thought was a Cleric of Erastil/X/Nature Warden but all ideas are welcome.

for only one feat you can take the crafting feat for your item. Extra bonus of crafting other items as well.

I could see having to deal with those who welcome the armegedon. They refuse to leave, blocking off an area of the town so that others can't get out so PCs have to go talk with them and fight them if necessary.

Utimatly as time runs out I could see the PCs getting trapped in this now "destroyed world. the game could then become a survival challenge.

The counterspell specialist wizard gains the ability to counterspell as an immediate action at level 6. Very nice for this build.

Also concider destructive dipel to make dispell magic even better.

Comparative Damage, two handed weapon, str only:

12+1, 13+1, 14+3, 15+3, 16+4, 17+4, 18+6

So two handed the difference in damage between 17 and 18 is 2. which isn't nothing but lets look at something else.

Barbarian raging str and power attack, level 1-3 with greatsword

Str 17: Str7+PA3= 2d6+10 High: 22, low, 12

Str 18: Str9+PA3= 2d6+12 High: 24, low, 14

in both cases level 1-4 with result in your damage being within the margin of the dice. The dice matter alot during these levels.

Now Look as CR 1-4 creatures by HP: CR1: 15hp, CR2: 20hp, CR 3: 30hp, CR4: 40HP.

In all of these instances, the average amount of hitpoints the creature has will mean that you will need the same amount of strikes with either an 18 or 17 strength.

If you take a 18 strength at level 4 then it will become a non-issue by time your damage starts our performing your weapon dice.

Paying 4 extra creation points at level 1 when that point at level for costs the same no matter where you put it don't make a lot of sense to me.

I have Finished my rant :-) build how you choose and hope you have fun. Just trying to show you my logic.

I'm gonna back up rainy day ninja with this. Skills are very important in PFS, especially in season 4+ the skills matter alot, some scenarios are virtually impossible if you at least can't take 10. loosing 2 skill points a level and not knowing what a goblin is by sight will really mess with you. You are a barbarian, one of the most powerful classes in the game. you don't need to minmax so much. Take a 17 str and bump it up at level 4. It won't hurt you.

Also with all the dwarven feats, don't take superstitious. I can't stress this enough and have seen it to many times. Having to save against every spell while raging (even harmless ones) is terrible, did the cleric just try to save your life with CSW? To Bad! did the bard just cast haste? Tough luck! Did the did the oracle try to bless you? No Way! Just don't its not worth it.

As a side note I also have a reach specialist Dwarven Barbarian. He also has a few Two Hand fighter levels. I got him a dwarven boulder helmet for close range. so much fun when they get inside my dwarven long hammer and think they are safe then BAM! headbutt!

I really do hope you enjoy the character.

I would recommend the song healer bard from ultimate magic.

Feats: 1, POint BLank shot
1, precice shot
3, Rapid Shot
5, Lingering performance.

Buff yourself for damage then use wands ooc at full caster level.

You will have a lot of resources for your level.

I've played or run through several paths and the thing I learned is that none of them are good for rotating GMs. the is just to much spoilers and refrences in each book. If you can only read on book you will miss out on reasonings behide a NPC actions and descover the plot of another NPC. It doesn't work well :(

On the original note, because I found it interesting... I may actually pick this guy up, sounds like alot of fun.

Half Elf Wanderer Monk:
Traits: Disbeliever, Carefully Hidden
Feats: Divine Defiance, Divine Denouncer, Seen & unseen, Exiles Path

Important Wanderer Powers:
Inscrutable (Su)
At 5th level, the wanderer gains a supernatural air of mystery. The DC to gain information or insight into the wanderer with Diplomacy, Knowledge skills, or Sense Motive increases by 5. In addition, by spending 1 point from his ki pool, the wanderer gains nondetection for 24 hours with a caster level equal to his monk level.
This ability replaces high jump.

With all this you receive a +4 will against divine spells, +3 more against divination and scrying and are under non-detection everyday.

You are outside the province of the gods and fate. Divine Magic does not effect you except in the most rare of circumstances.

I really like this concept... *goes to plot*
