What type of Oracle Mystery should I pick up?


Advice


Hi everyone!

I'm just starting a level 3 pathfinder game, we are allowed to use the Core Rulebooks, APG, UM, UC, and Beastiary 1 & 2. Our party as of right now is a melee centric human druid with an animal companion with loads of strength and a melee centric dwarf inquisitor with the conversion inquisition, and lastly a sword and board human paladin with a camel mount, I've been looking through the mysteries for an Oracle, which do you think would suit the party best?

Wind, Heavens, Flame, or Life?

I'm down for any other suggestions, I've never played a divine casting class so a lot of this is new to me.

Thank you for your time!

**Sidenote: I'm thinking Half-Orc or Human who is like a shamanistic barbarian chieftain kind of guy named Kurok "Whitefang" Nakar

I'd personally be inclined to do the classic Heavens Oracle + Dazzling Display build (which involves Color Spraying everything). You don't seem to need the ridiculous healing of Life, and while Wind and Flames are cool, Heavens just strikes me as so much more fun.

How about Dark Tapestry.... Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!


Hey, thanks for responding!

My only qualm with Heavens is that it seems kind of like sharp cheese, like it's almost too good compared to the other mysteries. And i've been thinking of Dark Tapestry quite a bit, but it seems very melee tuned late game, unless i'm wrong :P.

Metal is great for melee. Also battle, but that isn't as cool. Skill at arms is great for oracle front lines or archers, and metal weapon is a fun ability.

The Exchange

I've been enjoying my Stone oracle, but more because of his flavor than because he's particularly powerful. It has its perks - and some of its abilities reward a Strength-built oracle, particularly - but I don't know that I'd necessarily recommend that mystery in general.


Juju, provided your character would get along with himself, use your spare corpses of yourself (and who doesn't have corpses of themselves?) to make Juju Zombie versions of you (that keep your Alignment!) Plus come on who doesn't want to get into Necromancy without having to deal with the moral mumbo-jumbo.
