Advice


Hello. I want to build a rather unique character for an upcoming AP i will be playing in but am having trouble coming up with a statistically sound character. My concept is a character who used a sword in their main hand and a hand-crossbow or pistol in the other. I want to be able to be stealthy and charismatic. Any advice?


If your game uses traits it is pretty easy to pick up Stealth as a class skill for classes which don't already have it. Being charismatic could mean a lot of different things.

I'd advise looking at the Swashbuckler or the Savage Technologist. I suppose that the toughest question would be how to reload your ranged weapon. Using Quick Draw to pull multiple pistols ala Blackbeard could be an expensive but effective solution. Double barreled pistols could make this a little easier. Of course revolvers would work well too if you can find them.


So...You want to hit with a sword, shot with a pistol, be the face of the group and have good skills? You are asking too many things...
Try some Pistolero Gunsliger or Mysterious Stranger
16/14/14/12/10/8 for stat Array (20 points build)
A Holy Gun Paladin can work too.


Picaroon Swashbuckler (ACG)
fights with blade and 1handed firearm, primary abilities are Dex and Cha which means stealthy and charismatic


It doesn't have to be pistol, the xbow fits better thematically. And please don't say swashbuckler he was my last character. Why is it so hard to have this character build if I may enquire?


It is probably hard because most races only have two hands, so if you're holding a sword in one it will be difficult to reload a ranged weapon held in the other. Oddly enough this would work fine using a sling with the right feats.
