I've been GMing DnD for 10 years and a home pathfinder ROTRL campaign for 2 years, and playing PFS for 1 year.

Recently I've noticed a severe lack of GMs in my local PFS chapter, and as with every other time I've GMed, I'd like to step up to fill that need.

I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a few scenarios that I could prepare and run. I'd prefer something that's pretty straight forward to start off with. I might even prep and run this as early as this week.

Any suggestions?

Can anyone confirm if this would use my BAB or the allies BAB?

After reading a bit more I'm pretty sure this works.

This seems really really good if I'm reading it right so I want to confirm that I am reading it right.

It reads that everyone who accepts my raging song, gets these spirits and thus the attacks? Does this work with summoned monsters as well?

If it works this way, at level 3 it's going to be an additional +5 attack with 1d4+3 energy damage from EVERYONE in the party who takes the bonus as long as they are adjacent to an enemy.

Also, it appears that unconscious bodies automatically accept the raging song, so would they get these attacks as well?

Finally, would this happen the same round I start my performance for myself; I believe my allies would get the attacks but would my spirits get an opportunity to attack on the same initiative that I start the performance?

Bard and alchemist since the alchemist can quick build all sorts of ammunition for the gunslinger.

Such as?

Maybe I'll rebuild my Skald into just a Bard, I just liked the uniqueness of the Skald. Bard was a bit too vanilla for me.

Bards are awesome support characters when coupled with the whole party, but they also help slingers, who appreciate the damage boost after getting a good many attacks with rapid shot, and can use wands of abundant ammunition. They can do all of this without crippling their own efficiency in any way, too.

Think Bard > Skald for party?

I will be playing PFS with a friend of mine on a regular basis and he will be making a Gunslinger

I really enjoy most support classes and haven't really ever been much for straight damage dealers. I built a Skald last night and that was fun, but there isn't much for the Skald to support for anything but melee classes.

Being that I enjoy pretty much all support class, what would be the best support class to play along side my buddys Gunslinger?

Yup. You're a ball of protoplasm until level 2. ABout the only thing you can't change are expended consumables.

Well then I'll try the Skald tomorrow, since it's new and I'm curious to see how the rage song will be compared to inspire courage.

I found some info on the Skald, it does look fun...I think I'm going to try an Oracle first.

They told me at GenCon I can rebuild until I play my first campaign as level 2

Having a lot of skills is helpful for a support character, especially knowledge skills. If you want something bard like look at the new skald class. The arcanist has an archetype to bump the bulls strength style spells to be +6 in addition to the regular sorc/wiz stuff.

And of course its hard to go wrong with a cleric.

I don't see anything anywhere for Skald class or Arcanist?

I am making my first PFS character and I'm a bit torn.

I've generally always played support classes (all but bard) as I really enjoy playing them. Reading through the PRD has all but convinced me to keep with my tradition.

I recently played the level 7 bard pregen at Gencon and he was fun too..so I'm a bit torn between a few options:

Control Wizard (zero damage spells for flavor)
Cleric
Bard
Oracle

I think my friend that I will be playing with will be making a Gunslinger or a Magus and another friend I plan to play with from time to time has an Evocation Wizard, so I'm a bit weary to make a Wizard. Sometimes Clerics get a bit too type-cast into heal-bot for my liking...I can really come up with a good reason to play/not-play any class....

Is there any opinions or general advice you guys could give me on general PFS party construction that might point me in one direction or the other?
