Ancient Lore Keeper Elf for PFS


Advice


Hey guys. I was thinking of making my first real PFS character to be an Ancient Lore Keeper, due to the fact that I like skills and being a character that talks a ton. Does anyone know the best revelation for a Lore Keeper that focuses on the skill aspect of the racial archetype. My goal is to make the most optimal Lore Keeper. Can anyone help with spells? Right now I am thinking Time due to the rerolls and the general great revelations. Maybe wood to create an archer Mage?

You might have better luck in the Advice forum rather than the PFS General forum.

Ok. Thank you. I just didn't know because I was building the character for PFS only.

Please note this is a repost from the PFS page, because I was told this would be a better place.

Its a bit of a mix. In the general advice forums you have more people, but you get a lot of things like

"see if the dm will let you...(when you need to ask that the answer is no)

"why do you need skills? (pfs is a relatively skill heavy campaign)

"Ooo add a level of synthesist summoner! (yeah.. they're banhammered. hard)

The Lore mystery has the most focus on knowledge skills, with abilities that allow you Knowledge re rolls or bonuses, but other than Sidestep Secret, the revelations are pretty weak in combat.


How do you plan on using the character in combat? Will you be more focused toward melee or casting? This can affect your spell choices and revelations significantly.

Synthetic summoner bamhammered? I must have missed that...


I would look at lore for sidestep secret, and the ability to reroll knowledge skills. add in the noble scion feat from the ISWG, and you do quite a few things involving CHA.

Personally I like the Lunar mystery if you're considering Ancient Lorekeeper for an Archetype. I generally don't like the spells it offers, but the Revelations are solidly good. You can get Charisma bonuses to AC, a full progression Animal Companion, Shapeshifting, Darkvision and a touch attack that causes Rage. It's not particularly focused but all of them are kind of good.

As for Skills, unfortunately Ancient Lorekeeper replaces whatever bonus mystery class skills you get, so no luck there.
