What's Your Favorite Oracle Mystery?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


What is your favorite Oracle Mystery, and why?

I would probably have to say mine is Wind. The bonus spell list is pretty good (and includes the best spell ever - control winds). I also love the revelations, which include several very useful and powerful abilities, from invisibily to 90 ft. perfect manueverability flight.


Anyone?

Silver Crusade

Time. Reminds me of the dragon magazine #65 Timeloard class.

Grand Lodge

Heavens. It makes Color Spray a save or die spell from level 1 through the mid teens. (Which makes it perfect for PFS).


Life. Best healer in the game.

Silver Crusade

My favorite type of characters are self healing melee.
Mystery Battle: Dose this much better then most other types of divine caster.

If I made a divine caster.
Mystery Spellscar: The revelations realy put this on top for a casting focused oracle.


Heaven. Talk about getting a lot of mileage out of a first level spell.


Dark tapestry, it has nice stuff, wings ,dark vision, darkness, insanity spells left and right, black tentacles too! its like a focused control class with heals!


Heaven personally seems like the strongest.

However my favourite will always be ancestor, I love everything about it. Plus I have a idea to make a viable rage prophet out of it...


Dark Tapestry is probably my favourite, but I also enjoy Ancestors and Outer Rifts (from inner sea magic) <-- Telepathy! :)


Battle, but this is purely personal preference.

I used to play a lot of clerics who liked to pick up big weapons, buff themselves and beat things up. A battle oracle does exactly what I wanted all of them to do.

Go on...


I tend to think that Metal has a lot going for it, but I'm usually entirely too entertained by Lore to look much further at the Oracle.

Shadow Lodge

My Mist Assassin works best with Waves--and it's oh, so much fun that way.


Life is my favorite but I also like Nature, Flame, Stone, Wind, Waves, Heavens, and Spellscar Mysteries as well.


Ooh I forgot about Lore...
I really enjoyed my Lore Oracle/Paladin... good times with sidestep secret.
Let's see, Charisma gives me AC, all saves, spells per day, spell save DC's, relevant skill boosts, +hit and more AC when smiting, etc etc etc
wooo

Oracles in general are by far my favourite class btw, just sayin.

So true.

But my favorite would have to be Ancestor, a lot of cool stuff.

Followed closely by Lore and Dark Tapestry.


I'm liking the AC that a Oracle of Metal can get. Especially with no down sides to wearing full plate by middle levels if you can find mithral. I know Wood would make my bow hit more but I just love a high AC.


+1 for Mystery of Life.

I enjoy playing a healer, and taking the Mystery of Life ensures that you get virtually EVERY healing spell on the Cleric spell list for free as a bonus spell (assuming you pick the cure spells as your free bees!). It lets me use my other spells to define my character's trademarks more.


Dark Tapestry and Time


Juju.

I always wanted to play one in PFS. Not legal, dang it.
