Oracle and Brokeness


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


So, next Saturday, my group and I are starting a new Pathfinder game (yay, been trying to convince them to play for months now). Right now we have a halfling rogue, dwarf fighter and elven wizard, fairly standard stuff. The only question mark I have is that my roommate is playing an Oracle. She's not the type to make something broken on purpose, but I was just wondering if there is any broken stuff with that class that I need to worry about? Like a Revelation/Feat or Revelation/Spell combo that is really broken or some such.

Thanks in advance guys.


The Heavens mystery has a revelation that when combined with the color spray spell lets the spell affect many many more creatures than it normally would, and last much later in the game than it normally would.

That's about the worse of it though.

and it's not really that bad either.

Agreed. Short ranged, all or nothing, visually based, mind affecting, illusion -- all of which are generally easy to deal with.

Honestly, I would be more worried about the Wizard than the Oracle.

The guy playing the wizard is solid. If he makes something broken, he'll call himself on it and change what needs to be changed. I know wizards can get powerful, but I'm pretty good about making challenging encounters regardless of level.

That's good. The Wizard has a lot of potential for being broken (arguably more than just about every other class), but potential doesn't mean brokenness, per se. If the player is nice about it, you shouldn't have problems. Same goes for the Oracle and for just about any class. It's more about the player than it is the class.
