A weirder take on iconic / archetypal PC?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

Hello,

I have been working on a project for awhile to remake the iconic PCs. So often the iconic characters and pregens placed into books are traditional. Rise of the Runelords was fighter, sorcerer, rogue, and cleric (I think?). What happens when we replace the iconography with the weirder things Pathfinder has to offer? My best example is the gunslinger. What would players think of Golation if ROTRL had a gunslinger?

So, I'm working on making a team of mistfits to replace common pregens. My first take was samurai, gunslinger, synthesist, alchemist. But, I'm worried about its ability to meet all of a group's needs and succeed in a campaign.

There are 22 classes and numerous archetypes. Here is the question! Taking the needs of a group for adventure paths (fighting, skills, traps, arcane, healing, charisma), what is the weirdest group of 4-5 class/archetypes that can fulfill these rolls?


Given that the pregens in APs are usually piss-poorly designed, I don't think that's much to worry about.
