Help pick my character!


Advice


So I'm getting ready to join a Kingmaker AP that just started. The PC's are only 2nd level so I'm not missing much. I've narrowed down two concepts that I plan on playing, I typically play clerics or fighter/clerics so both with be a nice departure. No one in the group min maxes or optimizes so I'm not worried or even care about DPS, I'm looking for what looks interesting and fun to role play.

Anyways in no order here are my two ideas.

#1 Advanced Creature Template Kobold

The DM told me I'd be using the stats for Kobold out of the bestiary + the template. I'd then have another +1 to add where ever I'd like. I can live with the stats.

Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager) 1 / Fighter (Polearm Master) 1
Power Attack
Cleave

Cautious Trait
Dirty Fighter Trait

Basically I'd run around the battlefield to help flank for the big fighter and poke things from reach with a glaive. As for role playing he'd be country bumkin monster little brother type character, somewhat annoying and always in awe of the rest of the all human party.

#2 35 year old Human Rouge (Acrobat) 2
-I could also go Fighter/Rouge

Weapon Finese
Combat Expertise
Improved Trip

Reactionary Trait
???

This older gentlemen would use a Hanbo (since they can look like canes) and refuse to use other melee weapons. Again this character would be used to provide flanks and obviously attempt to trip them, hopefully then pummeling opponents with his glorified club. This character would fashion himself as an explorer, gentleman, map maker, and intellect. Gustov would have a decent number of knowledge skills, the other PC's would commonly find him seated comfortably sipping expensive alcohol while reading. He would also have a slight upper class mentality and sometimes attempt to treat the other party members as almost servants.

Thoughts?

The Rogue sounds better.

He's got background fluff and personality. The info you gave us on him is all about personality (not a min-max, crunch PC)

The Kobold sounds like nothing more than a tactical, mechanical PC. Only the Traits you mention have anything close to fluff and personality.

The rogue sounds far more interesting.
