I'm hesitant to say which AP we running cause I know people will jump in with all kinda spoilers and I don't want that. I don't want people to be like oh you running King Maker you don't need disable device... or Carrion Crown you won't be sneaking around so its not a big deal. I'd prefer to just make the character for a purpose and if it doesn't come up then oh well I wasted some skill points or a feat. I know these boards are usually for optimization, but I'm ok with not being top notch just want to make sure I bump the things I need. If I was going optimal I would be knife master with like a rapier or something going after them d8s.

I'm a hafling who worships Sarenrae. Im building my backstory to fit the cleric in the group. We joining at the same time so I am playing off his deity. I work for the church as a spy gathering info and things of the like. Kinda playing it like an infiltration expert.

I was given +1 short sword, +1 leather armor, belt of dex +2, ring of protection +1, Cloak of resistance +1, boots of elvenkind +5 acrobatics, and bag of holding. oh and a regular shortbow.

The group is large so asking the DM to remember trap spotter might get over looked.

Are you familiar with anime? I always think of the blade bound and his swords relationship kinda like the characters from bleach and their zanpakto. The higher lvl you get the stronger the blade gets. Your goal and your blades goal are to be über powerful warriors protecting friends, family, world etc. To obtain that goal you have mini challenges to complete and once you beat that one you perfect that ability before a new challenge pops up and you are forced to learn a more powerful ability to beat this goal/bad guy.

So if your blade bound does happen to complete his goal I would suggest have another goal pop up just to keep the character and blade striving for perfection and never having that feeling of completing it all and have no challenges out there.

Our GM just decided to start up a new game so it is time to start trying to brainstorm backgrounds and character ideas and long term vision of a character... I'm reading through the Inner Sea guide and see this Prestige Class and the concept seems interesting and could be fun, but don't want to invest a long term goal into a character and not enjoy it when I get there. So I was looking for any feedback on anyone who has played a Harrower or was in a game with one or even GM'd a game with one and can let me know if the Harrow Deck was useful or if it slowed down the game to much etc. I am just looking for any info that isn't a few months old before some of the changes might have been made. I know most Prestige Classes are kinda meh so this is kinda a flavor change of pace thing, but if it takes to much away from the flow of the game I want to avoid it. Thanks in advance!
