How would you build?


Advice


I'm thinking of building either a oracle who goes into the eldritch heritage OR a bard who goes into it. Just curious how folks on here would build these out to be good at helping the party. What would you do and why?

Guidelines:
25 point buy OR roll stats
Any paizo books (UC, UM, Core, AGP, etc)
Any race


I would go for the arcane bloodline for the familiar and the metamagic abilities.


How do you want to help them. That is a pretty wide spectrum; buffing, healing, killing enemies from a distance, killing them up close, flying overhead and raining blasts of death on their enemies.

For melee, a battle oracle going orc bloodline eldritch heritage is pretty optimal. Or a melee designed bard (half-orc for proficiencies perhay, fits well with the bloodline thematically).

What's the concept, in more detail?


Sorry I should have given more of a concept. Guess I hadn't even thought about it going melee. I have a barbarian character right now, so I'm looking to build out a ranged character.

I'm thinking a spell-slinging from afar (flying would be awesome) to hinder opponents/hurt them and a little buffing for the party. I know a pure wizard or sorcerer could be better, but I wanted something a bit more unique. So a bard or oracle with EH line sounds pretty cool to me even if it isn't the most optimized way to go.

Reasons I picked Bard/Oracle are that both are good or decent casters, they utilize their CHA, so they would be a good choice to dip into Sorcerer for the bloodline and be able to get EH. I also like being the face of the party so bards, oracles, and sorcerers usually having CHA as their highest stat make really good leaders and naturally they are good at diplomacy and/or intimidation.

I am looking for a build using only Pathfinder Core book, Advance player, U.Magic, U.Combat, "Just the pathfinder Core books" no 3rd party. My GM is a rule Nazi. I want a build that gets Wild shape, Favored enemy, Favored Terrain. If Druid class is used i will be using Pack Lord, as one for the Pack bond feature. I don't care if they the build has spells. I am trying a Hunter, Who uses wildshape, and Pack bond to run with a pack of wolfs. Hunting Favored enemy on favored terrain. The character will start at level 5 and likey stop at 15. I have about a month for building before we start. I have tried a couple idea that i will post later but i am not sure i am using the rules correctly.

Any help with this would be great. Does not have to be a power house just looking for a Preator, Turuk, Apache kind of build. A real Savage. On current build i have my Survial at 18 with it going to 26 when hunting Favored enemy on favored terrain. Thanks in advance.


Well if you want to fly you will want the eldritch heritages that end up with wings, unless you pic the oracle revelations that let you end up with wings. Oracle is going to be a better blaster than a bard I think.

You cannot multiclass into different archetypes of the same class.

Yes, I have missunderstood Archtype,

I am now looking at
1level Caliver Beast rider- for exotic animal & Tactation
1level Ranger Trophy Hunter - for improve Tracking & Favored Enemy
3level Druid Packlord, World walker - Animals {Wolf}, Terrain
----------------------------------------------------
I want the wolf domain but can not find a way to get it. It would fit my character build of "The wolf king" I want to ride a winter wolf and have a pack of wolfs that run with me, I can turn into a wolf and hunt with them. Making K: Nature, Geo, and Surivival My man skills.
Taking Shapeshifter hunter, and Shapes focus; this will give me enemy, terrain, and wildshape. I can give tandam trip to pack for free.

Different character build question. I am looking at the Monk. Master of Many styles - vs plan Monk. Is there a way to build a monk that gets All the elemential Fist Styles? There are four of them. for total of 12 feats plus you need Elemental Fist. Is there a way to do it. I don't care if it is a level 20 build just trying to build a NPC that will be my Grandmaster of the a monk order. I plan on playing him in a couple of games under a different DM then have him found the Monk order.

Thanks for any help with this.

If you have your heart set on spellcasting, go for it. An alternative you might want to consider is a ranged paladin. Add wings, and you'd make a holy, flying, artillery cannon.
