So a couple questions. some time soon im going to play my first Oracle and would like some tips tricks do's dont's on it. from the look of it it seems oracle is to cleric as sorcerer is to wizard. anyway im looking to be a support caster/healer 1-800-CAL-LGOD. mostlikely a catfolk if the dm allowes it for the boost to dex and cha. thinking of going with tongues curse and the life mystery. not set in stone and open to ideas.
next is this what alignment would a bodyguard thats purpose is to protect and obey character x for no personal gain and would give there life in a second for said person. im thinking lawful good but dont want a preachy character that bites off the mages head for bringing a raw chicken to life and making it do the chicken dance. im looking for unquestionable loyalty and obedience to a person but anything that happens that dosent effect him or his charge is none of his concern.
second personalaty is the set free slave that will do anything for the person that set them free there new master is there world and nothing else matters to them. the person they are loyal too would probibly be some form of good.
any ideas are welcomed
On the body guard, it depends on what depths they are willing to go for their master. Lawful neutral is my first reaction, since you want them to follow a strict code (their master's word) and they do not care about morals too much. Even if it is for another person, they would end up neutral if they have no strong opinions about helping people in general.
If their master asks them to do truly despicable things though, you might end up lawful evil. Basically, you are lawful, so you are not into wanton destruction personally. The evil comes in typically when it comes to whether your master wants you to kill. The Assassin PrC typically codifies this mind set: most assassins do not last if they can't play by the rules, but they need to lack an appreciation for human life to fulfill their job of coldblooded murder.
But then again, you are a "bodyguard." Your blade only goes for those that draw blades on you. LN is best.
If you're looking to be a caster type, the Blackened curse is really nice, since it gives you some fun fire spells at the expense of attack rolls (but if you're just a caster, it really doesn't matter).
that sounds good the bodyguard idea i had in mind was a someone has turned against us take my young son/daughter away from this place and keep them safe please old friend I have faith in you. type of story.
the blackened sounds good but wont fit this oracle since shes going to be played as a healer type be it changing bandages or calling god to make cuts close.
thanks for the input tho I hadent seen that curse yet
i like that
