Hi everyone,
I'm starting Rise of the Runelords soon and while I've played plenty of D&D (including 3.5) I've never played Pathfinder (aside from a one shot convention game). I've decided to play a Half-Orc Brawler with a background of arena fighting. I like the idea of making frequent use of improvised weapons but I'm not sure if that's a viable option.
I'm not looking to optimise the character, I'd just like some advice on how to not suck.
I'm asking for two things:
First, any potential pitfalls to avoid or shortcomings to be aware of?
Second, any must have feats, traits, equipment etc?
Thanks in advance.
