Cool, sounds like I'm on the right path then. I did consider the Guide Krodjin, but as you said, giving up the animal companion just hurts too much. Inspired Moment sounds like it could be a lot fun though.

I just started Kingmaker, and I'm playing a human ranger, with archery fighting style. I'm probably going to still be doing a fair bit of melee with my greatsword, so I'm doing a lot of the things suggested for a "switch hitter" build as detailed in Treantmonks guide. Our party makeup is a little weird, and I'm shouldering most of the front line load. We've got a cleric, two arcane casters, and a rogue. Considering all the spell casting we have, and that spellcasting doesn't really feel right with my character concept, I'm considering taking the Skirmisher archetype and forgoing spells. Does anyone have much experience with this?

I don't see a "Show My Schedule" button or link on the Events page. Where exactly on the page is this button? I'm wondering if this is because I have no events?

I signed up for lottery events, but I don't know where to see which events I got into. Can someone direct me to that?

I signed up for lottery events, but I never received any information via email about which events I'm in, not can I find anything on the website about that. Where can I find this information?

I'm looking for any sources for fluff on Kyonin. Gazetteers, APs, whatever. All I've been able to find is what's in the Inner Sea Guide and Elves of Golarion.

This has been very instructive (I'm a noob). Thanks for all the input folks!

Okay, I think I'm going to abandon this character concept as it doesn't seem viable with an Oracle. Even if I go straight Oracle with a mystery that gives me revelation armor, I'm simply giving up the extra AC from regular armor by choosing not to use it; it's a total negative in terms of mechanics.

Uh...no. This isn't how armor works. Only the highest armor bonus applies. So nobody who uses those Revelations also uses armor at the same time (though backup, non-magical armor is probably common, especially at low levels where the duration is iffy).

Well I feel like an ass. Didn't realize the AC mods didn't stack. That make more sense; still your giving up physical armor bonus for a temp armor that you have to burn a revelation to have. Doesn't seem like a good trade at all.

I'm kind of frustrated because judging by the art and flavor concepts of the Oracle, it seems as though Paizo intended some Oracles to not wear armor, even though they don't give us a decent reason not to do so. I could ask my DM to house-rule it but I'd rather not as this is a group that got together on Meetup.com, and I don't want to open that can of worms.

Anywho, I'll hold off on river Tam for another campaign. I think I'm going half-orc Oracle of Nature, sort of a druid/shaman barbarian guy, and I'll wear all the goddamn armor I can get my hands on!

Nice guide Sean! Unfortunately you haven't written the portion on multiclassing. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of dipping into wizard/sorcerer. This will give me a good reason to not wear armor, and I'll be more of a pure spell caster. Do you have any thoughts on that?

I feel you Jodokai. That's why I'm trying to figure out a build that gives me a good reason NOT to wear armor, which the Rage Prophet obviously doesn't do. All I can think of so far is a dip in Monk or Wizard.

I'm trying to come up with a build to match up with some general ideas I have for an Oracle. This character will be a young, wispy female. I'm taking inspiration from the River Tam character from Firefly. For flavor reasons, I really don't want her to wear much armor if any. The problem is, I'm having trouble coming up with a build that isn't simply worse off for the lack of armor. I was thinking of taking a level in Monk for the Wis bonus to AC. My main stats then would be CHA, Dex, and Wis, but I'm not sure how well it would work. I still want her to be primarily a spell caster, but one with some mobility. I'm not particularly concerned with min/maxing and power tweaking, but I don't want her to be gimped.
