Are there are any feline archons to match the canine hound archon?
I was mostly hoping for something to reference in the backstory of an archon-blooded lion shaman. And possibly as the basis of a less-obvious (but still referential) name than Felix or Richard.
Oh, I know there's no need to connect his totem back to his divine ancestry. Just thought it would be thematic if I could tie his chosen totem and the family heraldry back to a leonine ancestor.
There is the Leonal agathion...
Maybe that would suffice?
Agathion-blooded has the wrong stat adjustments for a druid, and the SLA is divine (and wasted on a druid), which is a problem; I need a level 2 arcane SLA for the character as I intend for him to get into Arcane Trickster.
I know, but the Leonal is also a celestial. Thought it was worth offering up as a possibility.
Sure it will. There's absolutely nothing in Arcane Trickster that specifies that it can only advance an arcane class. So if I get a divine caster in, I can advance the divine class just fine.
It means that I can only do it with a Tiefling or Aasimar, and that I have to take the two-world magic trait instead of magical knack, but the only actual difficult part of getting in is the 2d6 SA and the skill ranks.
You could, of course, talk to your GM and have a "lion archon" with the same stats as a hound archon (maybe a longspear instead of a greatsword).
I wouldn't have to abuse the SLA ruling if there was a single divine PrC that gives SA dice. And I doubt I'll ever actually play the character, it's just me seeing what I can come up with. I figured a druid has a more blasty spell list than a cleric while being just as good at melee. Plus a wildshaped totem druid makes for a very effective scout / spy in an urban environment; there's lots of places where a stray cat or dog can go without attracting any attention.
Alternatively, not all Aasimar are descended from humans. You could play a Catfolk-Aasimar.
And I really like how you found a way to make a divine arcane trickster. Are you gonna use a rogue talent to get mage hand?
I'm using two-world magic to just add it to the druid list, while taking only a single rogue level + one level of any PrC that gives +1d6 SA at first level to meet the SA requirement.
Three levels of rogue and minor magic would possibly be a better idea, since that would let me take the Magical Knack trait instead. This plan would lose three levels of progression, but only one caster level and would have one more BAB. My original plan loses two levels of progression and caster level.
