Undine PFS character


Advice


I have a GM boon for an undine character for PFS. What class/archetype do you think would fit this race best flavorwise?


Gunslinger seems pretty good, bonuses where it counts, negative where it doesn't.

Sorcerer or cleric are very good options, check out p174 in Advanced Race Guide


There is a really cool Bard archetype, although Undine generally make mediocre bards.


Someone recently proposed a build that uses the undines breath weapon and some bite attack feat to make opponents nauseated with each bite. Paired with Monk and Feral Combat training that might be fun.

Undine make fun though left field sorcerers:

Cross blooded (your undine wis bonus and wis focus easily makes up for the -2 will saves)
Celestial(Empyreal) blood = wis instead of chr caster +
Aquatic blood + undine = +2 caster level water spells

get the Undine Hydraulic maneuvers feat at 1st.

Take the gifted adept or magical linage trait for the hydraulic push spell.
Now for a 1st level spell (and your racial sp ability) you can bull rush, disarm, dirty trick (blind or dazzle, or trip at +2 level at range. Fun at all levels - its rare for a 1st level spell to be as great at 1st as 20th and this is one that is. Also means at high level have a use for those 1st slots and something good to quicken.

Having dual selection makes for constant nice bonus spells, feats and bloodline abilities that singularly these bloodlines lack. Some healing doesn't ever hurt.

Carry some hankies for the warriors who dedicated their life and feats to being good at one of disarm/trip/dirty trick/bull rush!

Even works for agood RP back story the MONADIC DEVA is an aquatic celesial:

Yeah i'd say gunslinger. great bonuses for that. and hydraulic push is a cool spell-like ability :P


You could always play a shaman from the Advanced Class Guide playtest. Then you take flame spirit, just to mess with expectations :)
(and steam caster, to cast all those fire spells underwater!)


Undine sorcerer is the only one (apart from a druid) that can do cool things with hydraulic push (due to level and multiple uses).

Druid is also worth a look (pull the same thing with hydraulic push).The Undine druid archetype is surprisingly good in the few situations the whole party is bad (and gets cool abilities always on)!
