So, I just turned level 3 in my first Pathfinder campaign. So far it's been a total blast. I've created a character that is completely unlike anything I've played before in any other game systems.
Right now he is a Dwarven lvl 2 Lore Oracle / lvl 1 Archeaologist. His first mystery is the one that allows him to meditate to get a +20 to an int skill check several times a day. Right now I'm trying to decide what to make the next two levels. I'm either thinking lvl 3 Oracle / lvl 2 Archaeologist. However, I came up with another idea this evening. lvl 2 Oracle / lvl 1 Archaeologist / lvl 2 Mindchemist. The two level dip into mind chemist will get me the mental mutagen and also double my int bonus on KSs. Since my first stat bonus I'm planning on putting into int, boosting mine to 16, this would give me a +6 to all of my KS rolls.
I am aware that all of these dips are screwing over my casting. But when I hit lvl 6 I plan on going Pathfinder Chronicler, so casting isn't a bit part of my character anyways. Casting for me is more of just a utility bonus. I was worried that this would not be liked by my party memebers but so far they are loving what I've been able to do with all of my skills helping us out and along in non-combat situations.
I'm trying to decide what best to use for feats. Right now I have rapid reload (heavy crossbow) and point blank shot just to help out a bit in combat. However, when I level my GM will let me retrain feats, so I'm trying to find some that better fit my character. Any suggestions?
I'll post more as I get time!
