Help building cultists


Advice

Grand Lodge

In an upcoming part of my game the party will be encountering a large group of cultists devoted to Slandrais.

The entry I linked to doesn't describe exactly what Slandrais' domains are, but they are: lechery, love potions, obsession.

The cult is abusing different groups of fey. I won't go into detail because it is going to be graphic in game, so let's leave it at nsfw :P

In any case I was wondering what classes would best make lecherous cultists? I am looking for cultists with around 4 levels of a class or classes.

I am usually very good at building NPCs etc... but I am having issues with this one.

My initial thought is cleric, but then I am like wouldn't most cultists start as something else first?

Any help or any suggestions would help.

I'm a fan of Barbarian for Cultists, with Rage representing them going into bouts of frothing madness...but this cult sounds more intellectual than that.

Given the domains, Rogue, Bard and Alchemist seem most likely, probably lead by an Inquisitor or Cleric.


rogue2/cleric2 with high charisma, and protection from good spells active. They spring from ambush, and attack the party, while wearing thongs. Hehe

For mechanical reasons, I'd go Rogue 3/Cleric 1.Or just Rogue 4...not everyone who worships a deity nees to be a Cleric, y'know.

I try to avoid giving NPC mooks pc levels when possible. I'd make the cult leader a witch with an corrupted fey familiar. The cultists I'd make all warrior 1/adept 3 with the same kind of familiar as the witch leader.


I'd go with Vivisectionist Alchemists

This doesn't match up with Golarion particularly well, for the record. Still, everyone as Adepts or Warriors seems legitimate...though I wouldn't multiclass those two.

I could build some characters real quick, if people like.
