Thank you. Thank you everyone! Really dig this.

Any ideas on what I should take for a trait and an occupation?

This is amazing! Thank you so much!

Looks and sounds like so much fun to play. I can't thank you enough!

Unreal the knowledge and depth you all have in this game! I love it.

Since Shadowdancer gives you uncanny dodge back you might like the scout archetype (which trades it out for sneak attack on all charges). Assuming so then TWF maybe isn't the best.

So lets look at a half-elf who takes the ancestral arms alternate racial trait to use an elven curveblade for 1.5*dex to damage.

Feats/talents might go

1: Combat Reflexes
Half-elf: EWP - elven curveblade
Unchained Rogue: Weapon Finesse
2: Rogue Talent - Trap Spotter (since you want to be a traps expert)
3: Dodge
4: Rogue Talent - Slow Reactions (because that will be useful if you teleport or charge in and find yourself overmatched)
5: Mobility
6 (Shadowdancer 1):
7 (Shadowdancer 2): Equipment Trick - boot tricks (to make your charge w/sneak attack easier)
8 (Shadowdancer 3): Rogue Talent - Eldritch Conduit (because it's interesting, and you should have the resources to make use of it by 8th level.) or, Underhanded Trick, for use with boot tricks.

Aside from getting a good dex, and enough cha to Use Magic Device effectively, there's no particular stat requirements on the above.

This is super helpful and thank you! But I will be playing a full Unchained Rogue, no multiclass.

Sorry for the confusion, I should have worded it better!

Bueller?

My DM is starting a mini-campaign and we are starting at level 8. So I am hoping to run a Rogue(non-Unchained)/Shadowdancer character I made for a previous campaign as an Unchained Rogue for this one.

He will be Half-Elf. And I do love TWF, but not necessary. No Knifemaster, because Trapfinding and Trap sense are helpful to this character in how I have his background

Any help would be great! I'd like to stick close to PFS style rules (stats buy, etc.) so I can make an easy build for that.

----------------

Race: Half-Elf
Class: Rogue (Unchained)
Alignment: CN (maybe N)
Deity: Norgorber

Level 8 Build (please show steps)

1 Golarion Background Trait (DM assigns another)

1 Occupation (PCs may select an occupation from those available in the Start feat document. The occupation grants one feat,one profession, and two class skills (if this is a new class skill, you also gain one rank).

High Stat points may get a drawback (hence PFS style stats)

TWF would be cool, but not necessary.
No Knife Master.

---------------

Thanks all!

Thanks again for the help all! Great to be part of PFS

Ha! Definitely have some reading to do, and I did purchase the Unchained PDF will probably make the change to that.

I have to use the retrain for that or is that part of the changes before I next play?

Thanks and sorry for being such a newbie.

Hey All,

New to the Society and just have a few questions.

I have 6 prestige points, what do I do with them? Is this how I level up?

You level up with experience points, not prestige points. You should have 3 of those.

Prestige is how many favors your faction still owes you. It fluctuates up and down.

Fame is how well known you are in the society. It never goes down, never gets spent. It determines your spending limit.

The potions and stuff that I have on the sheets at the end of the session, does your character automatically get those?

No. Most items you see at the end are kind of useless. Fame lets you buy most things you can afford. Getting something you want, that you don't have the fame for, and having that item show up on a chronicle is a pretty rare confluence of events. Don't pay them all that much attention for now.

How do I upgrade gear and keep it legal?

You're probably good with the amount of cash you have on you not being able to afford anything illegal. I would just buy masterwork studded leather and a masterwork weapon of whatever your pointy object of choice is.

Any help or suggestions for my Level 1 Rogue would be fantastic!

Thanks!

Become an unchained rogue. I cannot stress this enough. Especially for new player the rogue is incredibly difficult to make effective. Unchained gives them a real boost in skills and especially combat effectiveness that you're going to need.

If you honestly don't have 10 bucks for the PDF of Pathfinder unchained there's ways to work with that.

This was... wow, thank you for taking the time. I will look into the unchained rogue for sure. Thanks!

Awesome, thank you! very helpful!
