My Character has unfortunately had to be retired due to alignment issues.
I now have carte-blanche to create a new character and I'd like him to be pretty quirky.
I'm thinking A Gnome chef/alchemist who's recipes are deadly bombs and helpful extracts.
I've never played an Alchemist, gunslinger, monk or bard and would welcome any suggestions!
Really use your imaginations here, I'm keen to try something completely different.
He's still gotta be optimised, just quirky!
Any ideas?
Haha. That sounds great.
The character will come in at level 4.
We already have:
Pure Fighter w/ Greatsword
Ranger3/Sorc1
Summoner
Cleric
How would Gun slinger and Bard combine? Mysterious Stranger + Bard?
I played a chef character recently, and played it as a ninja who dual-wielded a chef's knife and a skillet. In retrospect it would have worked well to play as a vivisectionist. That way I could have my food be magic without the feat tax I had (master craftsman (profession:chef) and brew potion with the permission of the DM). A few of the vivisectionist abilities don't fit flavor too well, but since he had skill as a butcher, but no ability to make bombs, I figure sneak attack would be a good replacement.
What level, what point-buy, do you use traits, what is the setup of the rest of the party... A bit more input would be helpful :-)
Alchemist is a great class.
Summoner would be another way. One of my characters I created for an upcoming campaign is a summoner with an eidolon "butler". Background in short:
- Family used to be rich aristocrats
- Fortune wasn't good during the last century, so they are about middle-class wealth.
- "Alfred" is the eidolon butler who has served every family heir for the last 200 years. He cooks, serves tea, acts as bodyguard, makes sure his master gets enough sleep...
- And the summoner himself is a self-confident, a bit egocentric type of adventurer.
Bard is a very cool and powerful class. Do not underestimate them - I played one for a very long time and it rocked :-)
just a bard with exotic weapon prof gun
you could be a rapper
I like that :-D
How about a Grateful (Un)Dead Bard/Alice Cooper shock rocker bard?
Dirge Bard (*this is NON-evil) from Ultimate Magic (pg 26) allows you to re-animate enemies that your buddies drop and have them fight for you only as long as you perform---killer groupies! Your mind-affecting spells would work on undead by 5th level to buff them or hurt them. You also gain necromantic spells from other lists---e.g., I'd pick False Life cuz it's 1hr/level extra HP and stays useful through high levels.
I can't find it but I think there's a grave-singer type feat that lets bardic music affect undead...I may be thinking of 3.5.
The drawback is you lose versatile performance (perform checks in place of other skill checks) & well-versed (+4 to saves vs certain effects), but the save bonuses are nice and the flavor could be fun. Also your GM might have to cooperate and send you undead to mess with...
That, or one of our group had a blast playing a drunken master monk. Cleric had to keep casting "Neutralize Poison" on him when he got too hammered, especially in social situations. ;)
Point buy 20. Any traits or feats from Paizo products only.
