In any case, it's all about the triumph of intellect and romance over brute force and cynicism.
The time travel and the non-euclidean spaces, and the screwdriver, and the companions are all fun and necessary window dressings. But they are not what the Doctor is about.
Intellect and Romance triumph over brute force and cynicism.
And then the Doctor decides to drown a race of spider people because he was mildly peeved.
Intellect and Romance triumph again!
(But I'm just busting your balls.)
He, in my homebrew, is the Air. He is flighty, a creature of whimsy. His whole shtick is making people better. He has few followers, but those who do follow him follow absolutely. He doesn't think of them as followers, rather friends and companions. He would readily sacrifice himself for any of them. He also has no known name. He is the Air God, the Lonely One.
[tangent]What's wrong with "Last of the Time Lords"? It's certainly not worse than the last 4 episodes, or any dealing with the Slitheen.[/tangent]
EEEWWWEWW Slitheen!!! I can't stand Raxacoricofallapatorians at all. bleh
Currently watching classic doctor who to get ideas. Prime Instant Video only has select episodes for free, though.
Actually, He was livid. Remember, they were going to destroy the earth to hatch their brood. that would piss ANYONE off.
But generally he has sympathy for creatures that are trying to save their family and such and tries diplomacy instead of skipping straight to the floods.
He gave her a chance to let him find them a home where they didn't have to kill all humans. She was set on destruction, so the doctor chose to save humanity.

I've been homebrewing a him with the ARG
Here he is, def non-playable.
THE DOCTOR CR 19
Very, very good - but may I suggest, instead of Rogue, Occultist?
And as someone on the RPG.net boards once observed in response to a set of alignment-themed motivational posters: "Dude, he's the DOCTOR. How much more Chaotic Good can you possibly get???"
This thread clearly regenerated. Or maybe just time traveled. Either way, I was mostly done writing this before I noticed, so I'll play along.
I think these would be appropriate, domain-wise.
Artiface, since he's always fixing things.
Knowledge, since he's always fascinated by the new things he encounters, and often defeats them with an obscure bit of information.
Nobility, since he's a Time Lord, and this gives Inspiring Word and the Leadership feat so you can get a Companion
Solitude, since he's the Lonely God
Travel, since that's mostly what he does
Trickery, since The Doctor Lies is rule #1.
Void, which deals with Space and Madness, seems to describe his life pretty well
"The Doctor" is not and can never be a "God". At best with PF rule set I would term him as an Axiomite. Some peoples may worship him as a deity and by the rules governing faith their beliefs would be capable of granting them power, but they would in essence be using the "godless cleric" pathos. The Doctors that I remember disdain th entire concept of worship. In fact, when David Tenant's portrayal of The Doctor encountered an extra planar being portraying itself as 'satan' he proclaims it as "impossible".
When the Doctor becomes the White guardian, and the Master/Missy becomes the Black Guardian, the series is over. I don't want the series to be over!
