The 4th Jawa's page

Since my character bit the bullet in the first session, I need to come up with a new one. Since we have a total lack of casters in the party, I decided to try building a cleric. But it's been years since I build a (3.5) cleric, so I could use all the help I can get.

The campaigns build rules:
• Core Rulebook only
  
• 18 pointbuy
  
• Good aligned
  
• Level 4
  
• 6k gold
  
• HP @ 3/4 of max

The new concept is a cleric, who has gone mad (which caused one of his domains to be replaced by madness) after receiving a vision. (FYI: His god grants some of his followers visions, which his clerics spread across the realm (hence the travel domain).)

What I've got so far:
• Dwarf
  
• Chaotic Good
  
• Cleric 4
  
• Domains: Travel & Madness

Stats (cost) 4 points left
• Str 12 (2)
  
• Dex 12 (2)
  
• Con 14 (5) +2
  
• Int 7 (-4)
  
• Wis 17 (13) +2 +1
  
• Cha 7 (-4) -2

Feats
• Heavy Armor Proficiency
  

Equipment
• Full-Plate
  
• Heavy Steel Shield

The other party members:
• Half-Orc Monk
• Human Monk (going shadowdancer)
• Dwarven Fighter

While I'm not unwilling to change the whole build, I would appreciate it if the advice would be true to the concept. I'm leaning towards a Bad Touch kind of build, but I don't know how feasible it is with Core only.

Thanks in advance for your response.

I'm a player in an avid D&D 3.5 group. Every year we have have a week in which we do some heavy gaming (and drinking). During this week we usually try something that we normally wouldn't in a campaign, such as gestalt/all-evil/mounted characters. We have also used this week to test 4th edition. This year we would like to see if pathfinder is to our liking.

The basics:

• 5-8 players
  
• About 5 hours of gaming per day
  
• For 7 consecutive days
  
• Rotating DM/GM (every player takes a turn)
  
• There is limited time during the week for preparation/rebuilding

Wishes:

• Experience both low-level & mid-/high-level
  
• Pre-build adventure (since it works better with rotating DM's)
  
• The adventure should be written for PathfinderRPG (since this is our first pathfinder experience we don't want to rebuild an adventure)
  
• We usually set the character levels for each day before hand, to allow for changing players and better preparation.

Where I need help:

• Does anyone know a good Pathfinder adventure? (I've looked at the adventure paths, but they seem too large to complete in a week and I think a lot would be lost if we skipped parts.)
  
• Which are typical pitfalls when changing from 3.5 to Pathfinder. (Not the obvious changes, but the small ones you would miss on a first read.)
