Hey PF People,
I am looking to create a fetchling gunslinger character for PFS. I know there's alot of hate on gunslingers, but regardless i want to make it, and i'm looking for help. What are your oppinions on this? I am going to use the mysterious stranger archetype so grit will be based on Charisma. Fetchlings caught my eye cause their ability mods are perfect(dex+2, cha+2, wis-2) for what i want, and they have useful stuff like resistance to cold/electric 5 and shadow blending(50% miss chance in dim light). Im thinking of stats being
Str 10
Dex 18
Con 14
Int 7
Wis 5
Cha 19
Thanks

Fetchlings are only playable in PFS with a race boon. I think these were only awarded for the high tier of the Grand Convocation at PaizoCon in 2012, so they're pretty rare.
Also, those are some pretty hardcore dump stats. You'll probably find that your carrying capacity will be hard to deal with, and your will saves will make you very vulnerable to enemy spellcasters. Your high charisma will help with some social skills, but you're treading the line of "one trick pony", which can make some scenarios difficult (or boring).

Hmm.. Well I dont know whether the GM's where i play care much about encumberment, but do you think wisdom is more useful than charisma in general? I mean, the party is usually going to be well balanced, and I think the other members will be able to handle what i lack. I dont like well rounded ability score characters much, And I find dex always important, especially since i am going to be a sneaky guy. Lol i just saw -3 will save :/, but i think gunslingers get ok good at will. And mysterious stranger archetype helps with that

You've also got the potential to be a good scout, with solid ranks in stealth and perception. That's a useful additional role to add to a party.
And a scout with darkvision is really the only way to do it.
I agree, it's tempting to grab that 18 and 19, but it weakens your other stats SO much in a point buy system that I don't think it's worth it.
Go with a pair of 16s, and just look at how much your other stats improve.
And I don't care how much of a gunslinger you are, you WILL be forced into melee every now and again. Be ready for that. You don't have to be awesome at it, but you should be able to hold your own with a longsword.

I just spotted this thread as I was cleaning up to head home. Primus, let me highlight something a fellow poster noted above.

Keep in mind that if you have Pathfinder Player Companion: Blood of Fiends, you can play a rakshasa-spawn tiefling with similar ability score modifiers.

Yeah thanks i actually had seen that.. I just wish it was easy enough to get the boon cause 50% miss chance in dim light i find awesome
