Hey everybody, I'm looking for a Noble type class, something that is a buffing character, maybe with some many skills and some healing, but has no magical ability. I'm trying to start a low-magic E6 campaign, and I need a class to represent priests and non-combat nobility.

I'm also trying to find the "ritual" system in Unearthed Arcana that is mentioned in the E6 FAQ here. I found the incantations in UA, but not a system to cast higher level spells as "rituals". Any tips?

Go with bard and have the spells be something else. There's a court bard and a few other variants that could work for you.

But 'some healing' and 'no magical ability' doesn't really work.

I agree with JM. The Bard's spells are really easy to refluff. There's a really good Conan d20 Noble class, but it'd need significant tweeks to fit into Pathfinder. It is the closest d20 published class to what you're looking for. Another possibility is the Dark Sun templar which is 3.5 and freely available on the web

Scarab Sages

Alternatively, you could give Cavalier a shot. It's not perfect, but as far as non-magical buffing is concerned, they're pretty high up there.

But, seriously, I'd go with the Bard. Maybe get yourself a variant ability instead of spellcasting (I'd remove it for full BAB and bonus combat feats at 2nd and every 4 levels thereafter, or Sneak Attack at 1st, 3rd, and every 3 thereafter).


I hear good things about the Noble class from the Pathfinder Freeport companion.

I'd consider teamwork feats plus the ability to have other characters act as if they have teamwork feats.
