Hey. Well, I had an idea with a friend who plays PFS with me and we had a good laugh over it. See, we both like anime and TV shows and we thought "hey, wouldn't Pathfinder scenarios be cool as TV show or anime episodes?" And we got to talking and it actually all fell into place rather quickly. Mind you, it'll likely never happen. If fans were to try and make a Pathfinder show, it would have copyright issues from Paizo and then that's a whole mess right there.
But there were some cool ideas there. Of course, we both wanted our own PCs to be in the show, but we realized that everyone has their favorite character and it wouldn't be fair to just have a set cast. Then we thought, everyone hates "filler episodes", right? Why? Because they take away from the main storyline and focus on ancillary or tertiary characters. But what if there were no "main" characters, so to speak? What if each scenario or arc featured a new cast of characters, with only NPCs reappearing regularly, and maybe a cameo here and there. Popular characters could come back for big events (I can already imagine a whole arc based on Siege of Serpents) and this way you could pick the best group for the job.
Course, I'm essentially describing the Pathfinder novel series. Silly me. Still, my friend and I had a good time coming up with ideas. Using scenarios would make them hard to play in PFS since you'd know what to expect, so it would mean writing all new scenarios just for the show...but think about it. This way you could create a single meta-story, set in stone, for PFS fans to follow. You could use the results of games to help determine future episodes. The ideas just keep flowing.
I'm not really expecting anyone to comment on this post. Really, I just put it here since I have a terrible memory and I didn't want to forget the idea because it was memorable and fun.

Okay, so I thought it'd be cool and kinda flavorful to have a Nagaji built up into a Dragon Disciple, but, while there is a pretty awesome guide on making a DD, I'm still really new to idea of prestige classes. Other members of the local lodge have said they think DD isn't worth pursuing or very good at all, so I'm hesitant to start down the long road to building one without any sort of advice.
My current plan is to mix sorcerer with paladin, so I get both divine and arcane spells, and then go for a golden dragon when I hit the appropriate level for the prestige class, as that kinda matches the paladin flavor, but, once again, I'm not sure how viable or wise that is. At this point, it's just an idea, so I have no tentative stats or feats selected. Heck, I haven't even named the character yet.
Anyway, if you have advice either on the prestige class, my current plan, or maybe a better option for my Nagaji, please post it here.

Okay...so this is my first time posting on Paizo's messageboards...ever...so please be gentle (I mean, I know this place is typically friendly and open, but I just...you know how it can be on other sites...and I just want some constructive help or criticism).
This is my very first time building a gunslinger ever, and I decided on a Tengu. I know the bonus feat for being human is nice, but Tengu have good stat bonuses for a gunslinger. Plus, after Paizo made tiefling and aasimar boon-only races recently, I decided to try and make a character in every new race and try to level them up to level 2 before next GenCon, in case they do something similar in the near future. Yeah...I'm a little weird.
Anyway, her name is Asuka Sanzuwu, a Tengu from Tian Xia, and these are her stats (I've already factored in the racial boosts)(using a 20-point buy for PFS):
STR: 7
DEX: 18
CON: 10
INT: 12
WIS: 18
CHA: 10

She's a musket master archetype (not a mysterious stranger, so that's why her charisma is normal). She has the Glide alternate racial trait (I figured, if she went to a high place to get a better view of the area, she'd want an easy way to get down). For feats, she has Rapid Reload (free with archetype), Gunsmithing (bonus feat for her archetype/class), and Precise Shot (to get started on that feat tree early). She also has the natural weapons trait, which is a bite attack (I figured it'd be good to have in emergencies while still leaving her hands free to reload, in theory).
For equipment, she wears a Haramaki (I know it kinda sucks for now, but I only get 500 starting gold in PFS and still need money for bullets and stuff). Her weapon is musket (broken because it's the one you get for free at the start) and I have her carrying paper cartridges, but also packing regular bullets and silver bullets (because sometimes, when the dice are cursed, you want to keep your misfires to a minimum. And they were cheap).

And that's a lot of information. I put her skill points into perception, knowledge (engineering and local), craft (alchemy), and acrobatics. I think I'll get her some stealth next level, so she can maybe get a surprise round to set up, but that's not a class skill for her, so it would be a bit of work.

Well, what do you think? Any advice? I feel the STR score is a bit lower than I'd like, but I'm not sure what I should lower to bump it up. And her AC is still rather low. For reference, I only have about 79 gp left at this point and she's still level 1, so I can completely tear this stuff apart and rebuild her if I need to.
