Need some ideas for a Fetchling character.

[Sean H]

It's been almost a year since last PaizoCon, where I won a boon for a Fetchling character in PFS. I still have yet to make a character for him, as I can't come up with any ideas which truly capitalize on a Fetchling's abilities.

I can't really make a Darkness fighter because you can't rely on your allies having Darkvision in PFS, and if you forgo Shadow Blending/Darkvision then a Halfling is almost always better at stealth. I just don't know what else to do with him.

Well, they're not necessarily optimal for these classes, but a fetchling would be great thematically for a sorcerer of the Shadow bloodline, or an Inquisitor of - well, anybody.

Dark Tapestry Oracle, or Battle Oracle.

Ninja?

Ninja works better with Darkness, Deeper Darkness, and things like Nightmare Fist. At least, for Fetchling.

Now, in PFS, most players will have no way to deal with Darkness, other than getting rid of it.

Is the Advanced Race Guide allowed in Society play? If so, then Summoner with the fetchling archetype that adds shadow beasties to your summons list. It's silly good and super thematic.

Hmm... Oracle would be interesting. I don't really like Dark Tapestry since it's more alien/cthulhuesque than Shadow Plane, but Battle could work.

And therin lies my problem. Most of the cool Fetchling abilities rely on being in a situation that would harm the rest of the party.

Alas, Shadow Caller is the only thing in the ARG that is banned for Fetchlings - otherwise I would be all over that.

Blessing of the Mole is Oracle Spell that can give Darkvision to multiple allies at range.

Not that it helps that much.

It is a Paladin Spell too.

Fetchling Paladin actually works well.
