As title. Hoping for something fairly simple and close to a Fighter for a very new player, so an archetype might suit..? However, I would like to see a decent Will save, and something that involves Charisma mattering at all. Oh, and at least 4+Int skill points would probably help, along with appropriate class skills, I guess? A bit less Fighter-y and a bit more .. Knight-y? Focus on a mount not required, or even wanted really. Thanks in advance.
So I want to run, and some players want to play, a campaign based in Hell... with Devils (or the like) as player characters. Yes, this is insanity. But bear with me, Does it have even a snowball's chance to work, mechanically? Will the "races" (monsters) be sufficiently balanced, so's to get away with it? Once some class levels are added on top, I mean. And if not, using Pathfinder core, what might I need, third party or official, to make it happen? Or, indeed, am I looking at the wrong system altogether - and if so, what do you recommend in PF's place?
It's in the Paizo era of Dragon, and what comes to mind is the image of a succubus(?) or similar reclining figure, in red IIRC. ANyway, there was something I was after in the article itself, but I don't even know what that's called either... Any idea?
Sorry about possibly looking like setting up 'combat' and 'RP' as opposites like that; it's just to keep things simple for the title. ;) What's the (very approximate) weighting of various aspects, in general - things like overarching plot, small-scale combat, large-scale combat, dealing with the physical environment (inc. traps), loot/items, intrigue, investigation, other PC-NPC interaction, puzzles, player-level problem-solving etc.? Also, how much do individual adventures vary? I know, it's a pretty broad querying going on here, but if you could indulge my curiosity to any extent, that would be most helpful. I would love to find some adventures that would work for my second group - a new one - and that have roughly the kind of balance I and they would prefer. So, if it's not too much trouble... Thanks. :) |
