Poor man's Hound Archon

[Byrdology]

I was thinking of an angel blooded paladin of vengeance with a lore oracle (sidestep secret) build... You know, standard stuff. Then I came upon the wolf-scarred face curse and immediately thought of a hound archon. You think it would work flavor wise to say that my character is descended from a hound archon?

[blackbloodtroll]

Yes.

The non-crunch options for physical characteristics allow for a Hound Archon like Aasimar.

[Byrdology]

Angel kin Aasimar (traits needed)

Str: 17 (+2)
Dex: 9
Con: 14
Int: 13
Wis: 9
Cha: 17 (+2)

1) Paladin- power attack
2) Oracle- lore mystery (sidestep secret)/ wolf- scarred face curse
3) Paladin- extra mystery (mental acuity +1 int)
4) Paladin- +1 cha
5) Paladin- extra LoH
6) Paladin-
7) Paladin- feat needed
8) Paladin- +1 str

[blackbloodtroll]

Just to let you know, you don't need the wolf-scarred face curse to get the look.

The physical characteristics are available to the Aasimar race.

[Umbranus]

But he would not gain a bite attack. That might be enough to take the curse.
I might steal the idea of an 1 level dip to oracle with wolfscarred curse for my stonelord paladin. But I would not go lore, because of the low cha.

[blackbloodtroll]

Oh, there are many ways to gain a bite attack.

Just letting you know that there are other paths.

[Byrdology]

Thanks for the tips, but I was going to dip a lvl of oracle anyway, and I found a curse that actually goes with the concept... The only difference is I am doing angel kin instead of archon blooded... I will admit to a faint odor of cheese.

[blackbloodtroll]

Don't use that term.

Aasimar are multiblooded.

There is no "cheese" here.

[Byrdology]

I mean the fact that I am using angle kin instead of archon stats for what is flavor wise a hound archon.

[blackbloodtroll]

Not so much. Your Celestial bloodline is muddied, like most Aasimar.

You may have prominent features of one, mixed with another.

[Byrdology]

Ok, no cheese, all awesome! Are there any traits that could help me out with this build?

[blackbloodtroll]

Focused Mind.

There is very little you can get to boost concentration. This is one way.

[Byrdology]

Not too worried about concentration... Or should I be?

[blackbloodtroll]

When you need it, you really need it.

Anything that pumps initiative is a good choice too.

[Byrdology]

Are angel kin Aasimar PFS legal even?

[blackbloodtroll]

Yes.

[Byrdology]

Well I'm about to run this as my first official PFS character.
