Need Character build advice for Serpents Skull campaign.

[Ramlatus]

I am willing to play pretty much anything, but I really want a really killer (good/kick ass/awesome) character. Right now I am thinking of playing either a Cleric or a Barbarian. I repeat I can and will play any character type.

We will be playing Serpents Skull with all Pathfinder books allowed. 20 point buy or we can choose to roll.

Advice please.

A Ranger with Favored Enemy: Monstrous Humanoids and the Urban and Jungle Favored Terrains is godly. Your choice of Combat Style but our Ranger's doing pretty well with Archery (though Two-Weapon Fighting would also be good, you can get by with a much lower Dex as a Ranger).

Inquisitor would also be nice.

Barbarian would be your simplest bet for effective melee combat. Clerics can be made killer with the right God/Domain choice.

Heh. Pick Gorum, take the Rage Domain (SubDomain of Destruction) and the Anger Inquisition and you can be a Barbarian who buffs and heals. Pretty sure you can Rage and still Channel Energy if you need to (I don't THINK it requires concentration). Bonus points since it never says HOW you must present your Holy Symbol, so you can throw your arms out, puff out your chest so your Symbol is displayed for all to see, and tell everyone to come at you while you Channel.

Yeah, I'm thinkin' the Cleric or Ranger would be your best bets.

I would second Ranger or Inquisitor, both have options to absolutely rip up the baddies in this AP (butt hat goes for most AP's).

My idea when I originally started was a Ranger(Trophy Hunter)/Gunslinger (Musketeer). Think English Colonial big game hunter in Africa. Great fit for this campaign.

A archaeologist type would work well as well.
