Hello. I am hoping that the forums can help me fine tune a number pathfinder characters. This is theoretical party build for my own use. These are not optimised by any stretch just ideas about building a group that would nicely complement each other. Any tweaks to my current builds would be greatly appreciated.
They are:
Isaiah Wetmore: Human Fighter (no archetype), specialism: Archery
Coral Giovanetti: Half-Elf Paladin (Holy Tactician)
Elzen Scarpenetti: Elf Rogue (Scout/Investigator)
Luminostroglio Caligari: Elf Wizard (Transmuter)
Tan Xin: Halfling Cleric (Merciful Healer)
The fighter is a devil with a bow, the rogue is a tracker the paladin buffing with teamwork feats, the wizard is a crafter of constructs plus buffing with spells and the cleric keeping everyone alive with healing. I imagine them as a military squad given the “special missions” to go behind enemy lines etc.
Builds (All 20pt buy)

Skills: main skills are Craft (Bows), Profession (soldier) and Perception with occasional ranks Knowledge (arcana) (dungeoneering) (engineering), bluff, climb, handle animal, intimidate, ride, sense motive, survival and swim
Notes: low levels can act as switch hitter, Int, human, and fast learner give him 5 skill ranks per level, once point blank master and snap shot kick in can use bow close up (will have the AC to back that up, can move full speed in armor)
Coral Giovanetti:
Half-Elf Paladin (Holy Tactician)
Str: 12
Dex: 13
Con: 10
Int: 10
Wis: 14

Skills: concentrate on heal and diplomacy with some intimidate, bluff and sense motive
Notes: In combat can use either bow or Morningstar and shield, buffs allies with teamwork feat to maximise feint/flanking for fighter and rogue, back up healer to cleric, high-ish Cha so can act as face (archetype swaps out divine bond so actually ends up being the slowest member of the group if wearing medium/heavy armor with no way to mitigate the slowdown)
Elzen Scarpenetti:
Elf Rogue (Scout/Investigator)
Str: 14
Dex: 16 (14 +2 race)

Skills: High Int and rogue gives plenty to work with but max in perception and bluff would be a must, plus Face skills. Can also fill out the knowledge skills to back up the wizard
Notes: Plenty of skill ranks to put in Face skills, use the paladin as a flanking buddy, make most of the teamwork feats from the paladin.
