Alright, a month ago, I posted a thread about wanting to create a gladiator that was missing an arm (replaced with a pata weapon). The question now is what race I should make him. Some of be was going with either of Dwarf or a Half-Orc, to focus on his strength and Con, or maybe even going for a Human or Gnome, to have a boost to the Charisma needed for his Perform skills.
Suggestions?
Oh, too bad you missed the chance to use a more thematic replacement with a scizore. I suppose the pata has better stats though.
If you are going with the gladiator archetype for fighter, human might be a good choice, since it has the advantage of getting an extra skill point, allowing you to keep your performance up.
It is likely not PFS legal in itself, but PFS rules make a nice benchmark for many tables out there.
Otherwise, this might just be a bit of fluff, and it would be the same as if he simple never used the hand and kept it in the pata all day. Not sure how that would fly either.
I remember in one of the early skull and shackles books they list penalties for missing limbs and such. I think it was either the players guide or the wormwood mutiny. However I would recommend strapping a shield to either your stump or where your shoulder was, maybe bash some faces in. For races I'd say a dwarf, try and get a wish so you can turn your beard into a prehensile beard. Also dwarves rock.
