You lot. Gave me a smirk.
The O.P. didn’t specify what the starting level would be. If it’s 1st level, then mithral armor is probably not available. To get to 12th level one must first survive first level.

What if I want to do the warpriest build but as a human? Also don’t want to dump my strength into the pits? It should be viable from 1st level as well. I noticed that a 1st level Ranger character that I made was packing over 69 pounds of gear. Very close to being a medium load. If your strength is 16. Eight strength is way less.
Hong Kong is also gone. De de de. De doop. (Only a city now.)

Time to dust off the ’ol Arlo Guthrie L.P. and listen to Alice’s Restaurant.
I just looked it up. Kishigo rain coat. Looks like they only offer it in the neon with retro reflective stripes, so I wouldn’t buy one for myself. Impressive performance though. When it was colder I wore a hoodie underneath.
The neon safety coat that I got with my uniform allowance from work is amazing. It’s very light but quite warm and pretty darn waterproof. It has the company logo on the back, so I only wear it for work.
In other news I am the God of Shoveling. Those who follow the path of the shovel pray unto me, but I never grant their petitions. (A huge lie wrapped around a grain of truth.)

They were delicious. So, they infiltrate you from the inside out? And Louisiana has already fallen?
Pathfinder multi classing seems best in you take a single level of one class and all other levels in your main class. So prestige classes that force you to split your levels had better be pretty darned good. And most are not.

NobodysHome: Is Tuesday a good day for you guys to drop the Prius off for an oil change?
Impii: Sure.
NH: OK. I'm setting the appointment for 10:15 so you have time to sleep in.
Impii: OK.
...
NH: OK, it's time for you to drop off the Prius!
Impii: We never agreed to that!
Well, you see, "Tuesday" is derived from Middle English "Tewesday", from Old English "Tiwesdæg" meaning "Tīw's Day", the day of Tiw or Týr, the god of single combat, law, and justice in Norse mythology. And as I am not an adherent to the Norse pantheon, I do not acknowledge the existence of a day dedicated to one of those gods. Thus, I cannot be held responsible for anything that happens, or is supposed to happen, on a "Tuesday". Super happy to learn this. Adds another holiday to my week.
Also, more rain. I do a pretty good drowned rat impression, if I must say so myself.
I would actually expect a historical Druid of Europe to use a long sword. Or battle axe of some kind. And spear, definitely spears, including javelins. If a Druid went forth to war I would expect them to use the weapons of their people.
The D&D/Pathfinder Druids are not much based on anything other than fancy.

I don’t think we’ve really done any other “system” than Capitalism. It’s all just re-branding the same old thing. Which is: exploit the gullible to enrich yourself.

There’s a keeton on the road. Probably hunting for a toad.

Your method of wasp slaughter is undeniably the more environmentally friendly way. Somehow along the way, mine devolved into shooting them out of the air with bug spray. I don’t want to mention brand names, but the nasty, toxic one. You know, the one that works.

'Woostersheer' is more or less right, phonetically.
Don't ask why. If I pronounce it that way around here, people will scoff at me.

Even if the driver was texting and hits you and so gets into trouble; you still got smeared by a car. That’s not gonna be good. I've always wanted to take someone's door off; I hear that it's always 100% the fault of the person with the open door. The only thing that's stopped me is that the only times I've seen doors unattended was when I actually had some place to be. And while it would be fun and hilarious, you still have to stop, exchange insurance information, and the like, so you have to have the time as well as the inclination... And that’s one of the things to watch out for when biking. (Any kind.) The car door popping open right in front of you. I definitely try to remember to check my mirror before opening the car door. Because usually when I open the car door, it’s quickly followed by me stepping out. I would not want to be standing inside the door when a car hit it. That could get real ugly.
Edit: I wonder if I used “it’s” correctly. :)

Probably should give the lad back some points if he doesn’t own a monocle, smoking jacket, and fluffy white cat.

You can learn (or practice) on your own with a sword or sword-shaped object and videos or books, but you'll need to test what you're doing against a live opponent at some point, and that's arguably the most enjoyable part.
Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any specific questions you don't want to ask here. I went down into the creek bottom and cut myself a box alder staff of the length I figured to be right for a hand and a half sword. Hung a bundle of rags from a springy tree limb, and had at it. Learned my moves from Haomaru of Samurai Showdown fame. Still can’t throw that cyclone off my sword though.
Later the wood cured out and was too light, so I wound the “blade” with bailing wire. Had a bearing race from my old jeep that made the guard. Eventually I managed to break the stick, so I went to the hardware store and bought some bar stock. Yeah, way heavier. This was years ago.
I looked HEMA on the interwebz. Turns out there’s a club very near where I live. They had Sedona red rocks in the background. Heh. I know where that is.

No. But they shear the electric wool and occasionally eat the electric mutton.
The CIA killed off all the birds long ago. The current bird-like objects are spy drones. The internet says so. You can also buy merch.
I don’t have a powerful need to defend my statement about dragons. If it furthers the plot, why not?
This thread is about infrastructure. I’d rather mention corduroy roads. Something one might see crossing boggy areas. A very rough ride, no doubt.

Pork on the grill. I put a lot of cayenne and garlic powder on there to make it spicy.

If Paizo hasn’t made it specific, it’s kind of up to the GM to decide if dragons are interested in the shipping business or not, I suppose.
@Mathmuse: The canal era is kind of cool I always thought. There’s a canal in Scotland that took too long to build and ended up being undersized for the ships of the time. England has an extensive network of canals as well.
Of course, unloading the cargo and portaging it past the falls is also a possibility.

I don’t think dragons would willingly perform mundane shipping tasks. Too proud.

Yeah, a mail/messenger service is a a good example of infrastructure. Which brings us to roads. Some places would have roads built by the old Taldan Empire, I would imagine. Of course rivers are trade lanes as well.

The non military aspect is what interests me more. Full scale magic war seems like it would near the same destruction potential as conventional warfare as pursued in 1914.
But do they have reliable methods of crossing the oceans? Enough crystal balls to equal the telegraph system? (A crystal ball system would be more like Skype though, wouldn’t it?)
After Russia withdrew from the war, the Germans piled their Eastern Front troops into rail cars and shifted them west very quickly. Does Golarion have a similar transport system?
It’s kind of fascinating for me to speculate on this because of the existence of magic changes the development. Kind of gives me a headache though.

I’ll also suggest slayer. Studied target is better than the Ranger’s favored enemy.
I was thinking about the Fighter with a 1 level dip into slayer that I played. A Suli, was a lot of fun, but the Bloodrager in our group outperformed me in melee. But not at ranged, the archer build wizard did that. Of course the wizard was always happy to have my character at her side. Good protection don’t you know.
I could read your mind, but I don’t want to.

So, folks over on the Inner Sea War speculation thread seem to think that the war will be modeled on WW I.
So follows a list of technical advancements that were in play at the time on Earth. (Golarion is a magic realm so one can assume that magical versions would have been developed.)
There’s more, but that’s all I can think of for now. Not everything I mentioned is strictly infrastructure.
