Is the sea singer bard archetype worth it?


Advice


It looks cool, and now that I've permanently lost my paladin (I took the Test of the Starstone, and the GM warned me beforehand that if I did so it'd be the last time I ever got to use that character.), I need a new character. I'm level 5, thinking of being a human, and want to be a lightly armored cutlass (uses scimitar stats) fighter. Help with feat selection?


Are you underground all the time? If so, no.

Are you on a boat often? If so, yes.

Anywhere between those? It depends.

But sure, why not.


We never go underground, but I'm uncertain whether or not I'll end up on a boat a lot. We just ended a major story arch, and are starting another.

Based on your post i would recommend that you check out 2 more bard archetypes: the dervish dancer and the archeologist. They both make an excelent agile meleer type. You can talk to your dm and adapt the fluff around to your concept, which i am guessing is a kind of swashbuckler.


how did the starstone test go? Did you pass?


Thanks for the suggestion. I want to be a swashbuckler, and I also like the idea of being a party buffer.

I did. The GM wasn't prepared for something like that to happen (An argument over my paladin's roguish behavior escalated into a "Fine, I'll start my own damn religion" statement), so it was just a series of knowledge checks and intelligence rolls that I passed. So now I can worship my paladin, even though I can't play her anymore. The GM even let me pick out her domains.

+1

EDIT: Ops, ninjaed by the OP, lol.


just questions? weak sauce. What are your domains and what are the tenets of your religion

Yea, the GM wasn't expecting me to attempt to become a deity, so he didn't have anything prepared.

My domains are good, law, artifice, liberation, and charm.

My religion is one of what my paladin liked to call sensible law. In effect, she's believes in the rule of law, but also believes that the law should exist to preserve freedom, not to stamp it out. She feels that without the security that one will not be preyed upon, one cannot live a life of freedom. Though Lawful Good, she does not support laws that are unnecessarily restrictive, and believes in keeping the government out of the bedroom (like all my characters, my paladin was a lesbian, with all the baggage that entails). She is also a patron of both male and female homosexuals and a hater of bigotry (being both a lesbian and a tiefling, she saw her fair share), and has an interest in military technology (she had the Holy Gun archetype).
